The Gambler’s Tale: “Outstanding Debts,” Part 10 of 10

Professional poker player Jimmy Harmon’s time in Las Vegas has been anything but routine. A bomb set by a henchman in the employ of Las Vegas gangster Wiktoria Sałkiewicz has apparently led to the death of his friend Will Archer. Sałkiewicz denies involvement, but they are attacked by armed gunmen before she can elaborate. Evading the attackers, Harmon and fellow gambler Rachael “Peeps” Leblanc head out of town, only to find a corpse half-buried in the desert, a set of unscrupulous federal agents in close pursuit. Returning to the city, Harmon seeks out veteran poker player “Big Mike” Dalton for help, only to discover that Dalton himself has been deeply involved in the past week’s activities. Dalton and the same gunmen who earlier attached Sałkiewicz hustle Harmon out to the hotel parking lot, only to run up against both the federal agents and the Las Vegas Police — a confrontation that results in a hail of unrestrained gunfire.
