Ezra and Carter are playing their own version of poker
Short one.
Newkirk was watching in fascination as Ezra and Carter was playing their version of quick poker. The cards were actually going up in their hands down on the table as soon as they actually looked at them. Not one word was exchanged as they played this game. They bet, they called, they bluffed, showed the cards and went straight on to next round. They had been playing for thirty minutes without speaking now.
Colonel Hogan walked in to the door and watched his prisoners watching the two men at the table.
”What’s going on?” He asked out loud and was surprised when the men hushed him.
”They’re playing Fast-Food Poker,” LeBeau whispered.
”Fast-Food Poker?” Hogan asked confused as he watched how Carter won the latest round and Ezra shuffled the cards before dealing the cards.
”Apparently Carter invented it, he says it brings more excitement into the game,” Kinch blinked as Carter raised his bet to 200 and Ezra folded.
”What’s the rules?”
”The same rules, just very fast. One round takes top 30 seconds,” Newkirk added and grinned when Ezra actually showed a flicker of irritation to Carter.
”Why aren’t they talking?”
”Because it’s better to concentrate on the game,” Ezra’s voice drawled. ”You are allowed to talk, in fact it’s making me quite disturbed to have you all Gentlemen so quite. It’s makes me think you’re up to something,”
Carter just snorted in amusement as he and Ezra never once interrupted the flow.
Hogan shook his head in with a grin. The two of them never ceased to amaze him.
”Are you boys going to do that for long?”
”Unless you need for us a mission, we are not leaving this table for the next 9 hours,” Ezra told him seriously and Carter nodded in confirmation.
”Aren’t you guys going to get hungry? Or thirsty?” LeBeau’s mother hen side came out as he frowned worriedly at them.
”We once sat for 2 days straight without pausing,” Carter soothed. ”This is going to be nothing,”
”Would have been longer but a friend of ours decided to turn of the generator so the light went out before he dragged us out to a fast food restaurant. Hence the name of the game,”
Hogan’s grin turned wider before he told them. ”We’re not going to be able to get you any fast food out here boys, the Krauts wont appreciate you getting take out food for dinner.”
”It’s alright,” Ezra said. ”Carter bribed Schultz to give us a pie from town and stashed it in a secret place,”
”Oh come on, Carter can’t keep a secret for all he’s worth,” Newkirk protested expecting Carter to protest but was surprised when Carter just grinned evilly and Ezra followed suit.
”You keep telling yourself that Newkirk,” Ezra just shook his head in amusement like he knew something that the rest of them didn’t know, ”You keep telling yourself that,” He frowned as he glared at Carter while never interrupting the flow. ”You’re cheating,”
”Yes I am,” Carter confirmed in a bored tone, never looking up from his cards. ”Took you long enough, I’ve been cheating for the last 10 minutes,”
”Damn it,” Ezra said before the two of them lapsed into silence once again.
”Those two are nuts,” Newkirk declared as Hogan laughed.
