Betting Time, a story of the Space Accountant for the Random Bingo
This is to 
kelkyag's prompt to this bingo card.
It fills the "Greed" square.
It is part of my Space Accountant setting and comes before Accident and after Betting on It.
They were playing Flotsam, Genique and the two young men, wagering with time, their own free time, and Genique was losing.
She was losing, it appeared, badly. She was down thirty-six hours and a massage, most of it to Marsey the hitter, but a few hours here and there to Darretchon the hacker.
And Marsey had plans, she could tell, for every one of those hours. He was licking his lips. It would have been flattering, if it wasn't a bit scary.
"One year." He flicked the chips in.
Genique tried not to smile. The boy was hungry.
"One year."
