The voices continued to speak, too engrossed in their game to notice much of anything moving by. By now they could see who they belonged too; one was a robot creature, huge just from the guess of how he was sitting. The other looked like a Bulldog with only a face a mother could love.

(Did we mention that Mal still had a bat attached to his hand. It hadn't moved yet.)

The two were playing poker and from the looks of it by the golden coins, the bulldog was winning.

"Yeah boss isn't a fan of the guy either. Thinks the minute he takes his child's life he'll probably go insane. It's too bad damn Langa took the other kids for hidding eh? But she's kinda stupid. We were smarter than her."

"It feels nice to be smart."

"Yeah well that's because Snidley's smart you idiot. Gotta thank the guy for being so secretive too, Langa might know his wife was pregnant, but she probably didn't think she'd given birth a two days ago and we'd forge her to keep pretending she still was."

"Yeah she must be so scared sitting in that dumb Langa's protection area still having to pretend."

"Yeaaaah. Full house."

"Oh goddamn!"

"Eh eh eh eh You're an idiot. Now gimme your coins."
