Meanwhile that night, somewhere in the cold streets of Penrith, there is a guy walking along with a cape trailing him like a ghost. He strides past closed shops and eerie ally ways fearlessly. There aren't many people along this street. Aren't many cars either. With no cars to light up the street, the only source of light was a street light between every twenty metres. For a moment, it seems as if this guy was the only person on the street. Or so it seems until two large men walk up close behind him.

They follow him closely being sure that he doesn't leave their sight. The guy leads them down a dark ally way. The guy raises his hands to show he's unarmed.
"I've finally caught you! Ruairi!" Says both of the men at the same time. They both take their hoods off at the exact same time, revealing that they are the exact same person.
"Gemino! It's good to see you!" Says the guy with a smirk still with his hands raised high in the air.
"Enough of the innocent shit! I'm done with that! Give me my money or else you'll regret it!" Says both of them at the same time before each of them split into two. There are now four of him. The four Gemino's split into two. There are now eight! They keep multiplying themselves until there are tons of them.

"I'm counting down from five! If you don't give me my money on the count of zero, you'll die!" Says all the Geminos at the same time.
"Five!" They all yell at the same time. Ruairi pulls a packet of ordinary playing cards from his sleeve.
"Four!" They continue. Ruairi slides the cards out of the packet and drops the packet on the ground.
"Three!" They yell. Ruairi starts shuffling the cards in elegant sophisticated finger movements.
"Two!" They yell. Ruairi finishes shuffling and hides the cards behind his hand.
"One!" They all shout at the same time before each getting a gun out in perfect synchronisation. They aim at Ruairi.

"WAIT!" Screams Ruairi. They all stare at him, not lowering their weapons.
"Allow me a moment to show you something quite, MIRACULOUS!" Exclaims Ruairi before revealing the cards in his hand.
"Pick a card!" Says Ruairi.
"We aren't playing any of your games!" They all say at the same time.
"I'm the Ace Lord, the King of Cards! I AM GAMES! Now, I insist! Pick a card, any card" says Ruairi. One of the Geminos step forward and reaches to grab a card.
"Now be careful not to let me see your card. That's it! Now remember your card" says Ruairi. Since all the Geminos are the exact same person, they all remember the card.
"Now slide it back in the deck! There you go!" Says Ruairi while Gemino slides the card back in the deck where he found it. Then Ruairi starts shuffling the cards.
"Now there is no way, I could know what your card is because I didn't see it! Now if you'll allow me a moment, to do a magic shuffle and a cut followed by yet another shuffle, and...YOUR CARD!" He says showing them the Ace of Clubs.

"THAT'S NOT IT! YOU AREN'T MAGIC!" They all shout at the same time.
"Forgive me, I absolutely love the Ace of Clubs. A beloved favourite of mine. Despite that, your card was the king of hearts! Wasn't it!" He says before making the king of hearts appear out of thin air from the deck in a blur of majestic purple light.
"Now that was worth the wait!" Laughs all of the Geminos in synchronisation while all lowering their guns in laughter. While their guns are lowered, Ruairi throws cards around him in a circle which pierce the front row of Geminos like knives. The front row fall to the ground dead and immediately, he pulls an umbrella from under his cape. He pulls a trigger on the umbrella being sure to aim it directly at one of the Geminos. He dies from the shot. All of the Geminos aim their guns at Ruairi but just before they can shoot, Ruairi makes the guns explode in their hands. Their hands blow off but quickly regenerate. They continue multiplying until there are about one hundred Geminos. They manage to hold Ruairi down.

Ruairi continues to smile.
"Do you want to see another magic trick?" Asks Ruairi.
"NO MORE GAMES RUAIRI! GIVE ME THE MONEY OR DIE!" Yells all the Geminos.
"Are you gonna kill me?" Asks Ruairi casually.
"Yes! If you don't give us our money!" Yells Gemino.
"So... what are you going to kill me with? I destroyed all your weapons! I could kill you right now but I want to see you try to figure it out!" Laughs Ruairi.
"Okay, let me do you a favour, I'll give you one weapon. Only one weapon, and you'll defend yourself" says Ruairi.
"How does that sound?" Asks Ruairi.

Filled with rage, all the Geminos raise their fists but before they can punch Ruairi, he throws a pool ball high up in the air and when it smashes on the ground, smoke goes everywhere and Ruairi has disappeared. The only trace left of him is an Ace of Clubs. Ruairi slyly walks up behind them and says,
"There's your weapon" gesturing toward the card on the ground. One of the Geminos picks up the card and throws it in Ruairi's direction but it just falls on the ground.
"Here! Let me show you how it's done!" Says Ruairi before throwing a card at Gemino's neck slitting his throat. Blood splatters everywhere.

"Okay, one down, hundreds to go!" Says Ruairi casually before pulling out his mini gun from underneath his cape. He pulls the handle with the a red sphere at the end. A slot's machine starts flicking on it. Eventually, it gets 777 and an electronic voice blares from the slots machine mini gun,
"LUCKY WINNER!" Before a rapid fire of gold bullets fire from the gun. All of the Geminos drop to the ground dead. All but one. Ruairi stands over him and says intimidatingly,
"YOU BETTER NOT SHOW YOUR FACE IN MY CASINO EVER AGAIN!"
"Yes! Yes! Never!" Says Gemino quickly before running away. Ruairi quickly stops him in his path.
"Your membership card?" Asks Ruairi. Gemino quickly reaches into his pocket and pulls out his wallet. He digs through his wallet until he finds his 'King's Casino membership card' he gives it to Ruairi and it explodes in his hand.
"You can run now" says Ruairi and just after he says this, Gemino runs away like a wuss.

"God dammit! Why haven't those kids replied to my texts yet?" Says Ruairi annoyed while looking at his phone.
"I'll just text them again" says Ruairi to himself. Suddenly, Xander, Daniel, Tia, Jeremy and I get the same text message,
