-- Revelation 6:4. Chapter ONE "Five-card draw, gentlemen. Now let's start paying attention, okay?" Brandon Vale shot the cards out of the deck, skimming them across the table to the five nervous-looking men surrounding it. After a quick glance at his hand, he slapped it down next to his teetering mountain of loot and scanned the faces of his opponents. All were staring at their cards as though they contained the meaning of life and, based on his experience, they would continue to do so for a lot longer than necessary. The tinny sound of machine-gun fire started on the far side of the room and he turned in his chair, squinting at the television bolted to the wall while he waited. The lenses in his glasses were only two weeks old, but had never been quite right. Prisons tended not to attract the top people in their fields and the fact that the optometrist who had given him his exam was half blind himself didn't speak highly of his qualifications. They were good enough, though, for him to see the unmistakable outlines of tanks and running men accompanied by the increasingly familiar sounds of war.
