It was strange, but Aaran was sure his hearing was improving. He was no doctor but, it had only been a day since he had been injured in that fight, and already he felt mostly back to normal. Apart from the usual tiredness one felt from lack of food and water.
As he stood there pondering this, he was surprised to see the sky light up with fireworks, the sound easily heard from miles. Currently on top of the apartment, he glanced over the edge but was surprised to see the infected and undying were not interested at all. Huh, that was weird.
The display went on for a few moments, leaving the mechanic to wonder just what was going on. What did these fireworks mean, where they signal flares of some sort.
Whelp, only one way to find out.
After some time, Aaran reached the location of the fireworks, and stared at the neon covered walls of a casino, the lights putting Los Vegas to shame. Just what a casino of all things was doing here he had no idea, so he entered the building intent on seeing what he could find.

Upon entering the smell of beer and smoke assaulted his senses, leaving him dazed and confused. The interior looked just like any other casino, completed with working slot machines and people playing them. And outside the walking undead shambled and people struggled to survive. Talk about a complete contrast.
He was still staring when someone approached him with a drink and coins. He wasn't one to knock down free stuff, so he took both and sipped the drink, eying the coins in hand. Well, it was a casino, so why not chill out for a bit, he couldn't see any reason not to.
Sitting down at one of the slots, he pulled the level and watched the numbers roll. And was pleasantly surprised when they landed on two matching pairs, Score!
Casino coins: 50 + 4 = 54

It was on the third pull that Aaran started feeling strange. The room felt hotter then normal, and sweat trickled down his face. He went to sip his drink, but found he could hardly see it was so blurry, and before he could fathom what was going on he fell off his set and passed out before he hit the floor.
When he came to, he was bathed in darkness, murmurs around him alerting him to the presence of others. Aaran tried moving his arms and legs, and soon realized he had been tied down. No amount of struggling was gonna get him free.
Suddenly the room was filled with light, making his eyes water as a muffled voice spoke. It took some time for his eyes to adjust before he could see what was going on, and a little longer to comprehend what the voice was telling him.
When he did figure it out, Aaran was not amused. So he would have to buy his freedom back? This was bad news. Grim faced, he tested his bonds again, keeping quiet while trying to make a escape on his own. Nothing he did made them budge. This was looking bad...
Soon enough he was dragged into another room, face with two other bound people. But as soon as the announcer told him what he had to do Aaran felt angry. He rarely felt angry at anything, even during this Apocalypse. But this? He couldn't let this go, and if he weren't bound he would of found this guy and beat the s**t out of him.
Alas, he couldn't do a thing, except choose who to save. With regret in his heart he pointed towards the girl, and watched as she broke into tears of relief. Aaran hung his head as the male screamed, dragged away into another room to his fate. He said nothing else as they released him, leading him down a hallway towards a door. It opened, and with a heavy conscience he walked through.
