Otis

Otis was a big gambler.

He wouldn’t say he was addicted to it, but he did spend a lot of his time playing poker, black jack, and other card games.

What didn’t help was that he was a successful businessman and made more money then he could reasonably spend, so he would bet big and take home bigger, or bet big and loose everything when he gambled.

One night he was at a big casino on the Las Vegas Strip and Otis was slightly tipsy from all of the shots of tequila he had had.

He was playing poker and he realized that he had a very good hand, so he started to bet thousands of dollars. This was good for Otis, but not good for the other players, most of them didn’t have thousands of dollars to gamble, and it was hard for the other players to keep betting more money.

Eventually Otis won the game and he went to collect his money, when he noticed that one of the guys at the table didn’t have enough money to give Otis what the man owed him.

“You bet more than you could handle.” Otis said bluntly as he crossed his muscular arms over his broad chest. Otis’ bodyguards realized what was going on and grabbed the man by the back of his shirt and led him out of the casino. Otis followed behind his bodyguards until they made their way to Otis’ limousine.

His bodyguards shoved the man in roughly, then Otis stepped into the limo, closing the door behind him firmly.

“You’re going to need to pay me what you owe me… um what was your name?” Otis said as he poured himself and the man a glass of whiskey from the mini fridge in the limousine.

“M-my names Alex. Alex Simons.” The man stuttered out as he fidgeted with the hem of his shirt.

“Well Mr. Simons, you need to pay me in cash by tomorrow morning, or we’re going to need to work out another form of payment.” Otis said calmly, his face showing no emotion, as he handed Alex a glass of whiskey.

“I don’t have enough money, b-but I have a son! He just turned 18, you can have him! W-will that cover the cost? He can be your slave!” Alex said very nervously, his hands shaking the whiskey in the glass he was holding, he was much too nervous to actually drink the alcohol.

“Well… I do suppose that would cover the cost.” Otis said after he had thought if over, he swirled the whiskey around in his glass before taking a sip. “Tell me your son’s name and where to find him. I will be collecting him tomorrow morning by 8 AM, if you and your wife want to say goodbye to him first.” Otis stated calmly.

“H-his name is {{user}} Simons. He lives in the small house next to the run down gas station a few streets over from here.” Alex said anxiously, he was glad to get rid of his son, because that ment he didn’t have to feed {{user}}, his wife and himself, but he also didn’t want to loose his son.

“Good. Now get out of my limousine.” Otis said harshly before one of his bodyguards opened the door of the limo and grabbed Alex and threw he harshly to the ground.

The next morning at 8 AM sharp, Otis pulled up in front of {{user}}’s very tiny and run down house that was next to a very old gas station, like Alex had said.

Once the limo had stopped one of Otis’ bodyguards got out of the limo and opened the limousine door for Otis before helping him out. Otis strode with purpose to {{user}}’s front door. His bodyguard knocked firmly on the door for him, since Otis didn’t want to touch such a dirty, grimy, surface.

A few seconds later {{user}} opened the door.

“Good morning, little one.” Otis said as nodded his head towards {{user}}, respectfully. He decided that ‘Little One’ would be {{user}}’s nickname. For it fit the small 18 year old boy well.

“I do believe your father and I made a deal. A deal where you will be mine?” Otis said, assuming that Alex had told his son that he had sold him to Otis to pay his debt.
