Mei had been gambling in one of the less reputable gambling dens in the planet's capital city, this latest battle she had not been called into action on so she decided to take a vacation on Corellia for some gambling, drinhking, and relaxation. So far things had been going swimmingly and she had been making a nice profit, half of the time she didn't need to cheat and others she did, it was risky to cheat here as she'd heard that some of the more notorious players here would actually get hostile if they even suspected it. They cheated themselves but nobody accused them as they would intimidate everyone, but not her and she was playing one right now. A large human male by the name of Talmin Ghoot, he was a hard play and they were both cheating and not knowing it but his eyes were narrowed on the game and watching her moves as well as his own strategy. They had each other at a stalemate, and both were getting frustrated, though she finally beat him on a desperate gamble that forced him to go over the point limit.
"I don't know how you did it, but your good anyways. I'll cut my losses here, that last move was a tricky one..." He said before getting up and then looking for another game, he was suspicious she was cheating and he did not want to draw attention to himself. So instead he found a game near the table she'd been taking up and watched as she played someone else and drained their current funds quickly, now his suspicion was raised but she had not shown any tells. So he kept an eye on her, the man was not impressed he'd been the shark here and some girl came in and was making him work for his winnings. Though as she got up to leave someone bumped into her and pulled their hand back with a broken wrist, before they could steal the cred chips she had just pocketed in her jacket. "That's not wise, next time I'll break your arm in several places before doing it to the other one..." She said as she pushed the kid away roughly, who saw the malice in her eyes at his stealing attempt.
Sitting at the bar to drink she placed a chip with a lesser amount and nodded, this was her way of paying for all her drinks tonight. "Some of your best local brandy chilled to room temperature, just give me the bottle and a glass." She said as he checked the chip then got her the requested items, however once he set them down she was joined by another person who'd been watching her. Placing a data pad down he slid it over. Who better to win back money from a cheat than a cheat, besides she looked like a mercenary to him so as long as she got paid he was sure she'd do this. "I got an issue with this guy, he cheated me out of a lot of money and I need it back. I'll give you a thirty percent cut of the total, plus any you get above my losses. I lost about ten thousand to him, thoigh I know he was cheating." He looked like he was quite wealthy and actually being honest, looking at the images of the man leaving the facility she saw this would be interesting.
"Forty percent and it guarantees you get your money, try to cheat me and I'll break your knees. Whose to say your not using me, that you were cheating and dumb enough to get caught." He paled at this and then growled, she was not going to get that much so he had to do this move. Taking out the data chip with the information he got up, knowing how to haggle was a good skill and she obviously was what he took her for. "Thirty-five percent, you can fine me at the address here if you decide to do it. Otherwise destroy this, next time you threaten me I'll have you arrested for running a scam on the people here. Get me my money in forty-eight hours, otherwise I'll make sure your ship gets impounded until you do..." The last line was said low so that she could hear it but no others, after all he had his own game to run and this guy owed his employers money which he planned on collecting and paying her as little as he could. He then left in a huff as she looked at the chip before picking it up, going after someone who was a thief and a cheat would be interesting and she was pissed though. Threatening her back was just making her want to carry out her threat, but she knew that crossing CorSec would probably result in the republic questioning her and possibly nullify her contract for causing trouble with her current allies.
"Bastard... Your gonna pay for this one." She muttered under her breath as she sat there and drank her brandy looking like she was quite upset with how this turned out. She'd been duped as she saw the way his hands moved, he wasn't being honest but she was roped into this by blackmail, she would get him his money and expose him though he gave no name just an address and an alias. Gherik Joulas was not his real name in truth but she had no idea as when she checked the location it was an imports business run by the Frikear brothers who were known as small time smugglers and wanted on Coruscant for several thefts of museum pieces. Looks like she would do the Republic a bonus and take all the money for herself, get their agent the money and inform CorSec that she had located a gang of wanted criminals operating under their noses.
