Georgia sat in the darkened study with the door firmly closed. Her eyes were transfixed on the screen eminently the bright blue light. Her hands ran threw her cropped electric pink hair.

Beads of were forming on her forehead, she licked her lips across her drying mouth.

‘Come on’ she muttered under her breath,

Her sticky hands grabbed hold of the mouse as she moved it around her desk. Her eyes darted around the screen.

Georgia looked fervently over her shoulder towards the door. As she responded to the laughter that seeped under the door. Her hands moved automatically placed the next card down. Her eyes flicked back to the screen..

“Come on Red !! Don’t let me down.” Her eyes screwed up “we can do this.”

The cards turned of the other players.. excitingly Georgia rubbed her hands together... she was so near. So very near.. it was just one more turn that’s all she needed to pay off all the debts. Then they would be free, they could escape this hovel. Get that letchorous landlord off her back, my God she would love to tell him what he could go and do with this dump. As for her job she would love to walk into The Corner Plaice and tell Steve Evans where he could stick his job. She hated working in his crummy chippy in the East end of London. Every day she would come home stinking of chip fat, she would have to have a shower and wash her hair. That was why she shaved her hair off!! No other reason.

Georgia smiled as she imagined the look on his face.

“You know what Steve, you can stick your rotten job where the sun don’t shine..” she laughed “arsehole” laugh clicking the mouse.

She looked the box with her winnings £570,000. “Not bad at all ... not for a nights work”

“You need to stop now.. what if you lose it all” the angel on her shoulder whisper.

“I won’t.. I got this... I am on a winning streak. I can feel it” Georgia hissed.

“It’s a game of chance “ the voice whisper

“It’s skill..” Georgia smirked , virtually turning over the next card.

WINNER.. flashed across the screen.

“Oh my Lord.. “ Georgia’s eyes flickered up to total winnings. “ £600,000 ... Oh my God..Harry!!” She mumbled breathlessly!! She held her chest... “ok.. ok ..I’ve got this”

The other players were upping the ante!! They were playing big. They only way she was going to get out of this place was to keep up. She had to match their bet or go home.

“Go home, you have got plenty.. don’t be greedy. You know that is what always happens to you. You get too big for your boots.”

“I know what.. I am doing.”

“Really”

“Yep”

Georgia watched as the other players one at a time raised the bid. She looked at her cards they where good. Real good. A straight flush. She just needed someone to have a Royal to beat her. She calculated in her head the cards that had been before. Could she risk it... if she was wrong she would loose everything.

“All in” she pronounced as she clicked on the button. She immensely looked away from the screen, as the other players turned over their cards!!

“ they were bluffing “ she exclaimed “ oh my God!!” She watched the numbers clicking round faster faster as it calculated her winnings.

“holy cow” she looked at the screen “ holy cow.. I’ve only gone and bloody done it” Georgia leapt off her seat and punched the sky.

“yes ... yes... yes “ she danced

The door opened “ what the fucks going on here?” Jasmine popped her head round the corner of the door.

“Ive only gone and won £2 million quid”

“No your having a giraffe!!” The skinny blonde girl said.

“Look.. blooming look”. Jasmine and Georgia peered and the screen.. Georgia pointed to the winnings “ look at that my lovely “

“Holy crap.. you crazy witch you did it “

“ I certainly did”

A tall lanky figure, lopped into the room “ hey guys the Wifi in my rooms really bad. My computer is so laggy”

“Is it..” Georgia briefly looked up .. and the her eyes cast back onto the £2 million.

“Yeah., the router needs a reboot “

“ yeah.., yeah whatever “ Georgia flapped her hand.

The lanky figure walked past her .. not even looking at what she was transfixing about.

And the screw went black!!

“ hey ..” shouted Georgia

“ what you done?” Jasmine demanded

The lanky figure looked up “ rebooted the rooter ... that’s what I told you”

“You didn’t say you were turning off the WiFi “

“Yeah.. that’s what i said”. The lanky lad scratched his head.

“Oh my lord., I might just possibly kill you”

“Why .. what I done”

“ you have lost £2 million “

“No really..” he grimaced

“Get it back Harry or so help me god I will throttle you.”

Harry sat down at the computer and clicked the mouse, jumping from screen to screen.

“You need to login to your account” Harry pushed the mouse to Georgia.

“ I promise you Harry.. if it’s not there” Georgia tapped in her details. The three of them looked at the screen. The whole world felt like it was on pause as Georgia opened her a account.

Total winnings £0.00

“Harrrrrrrrrrrrrrry” Georgia screamed.
