Blood Ties
“I think that’s what gave him the edge over anyone he came up against. For Jake, everything came down to knowing what his opponent was going to do next. And Jake usually seemed to know.”
~ Captain Jane Wilson “Full house. Sevens over threes.” The sound of the Jezebel’s propellers made a steady, quiet drone in the background. Jake stuck his cigar in his mouth, turned over his cards, and smiled at the finely dressed foreigner across the table from him. The foreigner wore a shimmering, emerald froc...k over a lacy, ruffled white shirt with a high collar. A silver pin sporting an etched raven insignia anchored his red cravat. Like the man, the bird had a distinctly European feel to it. A red baldric crossed the man’s chest down towards his right hip.
Germany, Jake thought, or someplace deeper into the heart of Central Europe, but not quite Russia. Around the poker tables at the Colorado Brewery, he’d sheared enough foreigners coming through to have at least some sense of what went on across the Atlantic.MoreLess
