With the pirate gone, Itzal and Whit were alone at the table. "Lets change the stakes." Itzal removed the wild collection of items from the table and gestured for Whit to do the same. Cautiously, Whit complied. Itzal spoke to the dealer. "I want to bet my sanity, if Whit would match the bet."
The dealer thought for a moment, and then nodded.
Whit's thoughts raced. Bet his sanity? Itzal had spoken of a game risking life and death. He had protested that there was no way to guarantee the other would keep their side of the agreement. But now, that was not the case. Here, they would be guaranteed to follow through. Itzal meant business.
A Casino employee came up to the table with two helmets. He placed one on Itzals head and plugged it into the table. Its chip counter reset, reading 98%. The employee offered the other hat to Whit.
