Author's note: To the people who left comments asking me to write more: sorry for making you wait nearly eleven years. This story isn't really a sequel to Poker With The Teachers, although it does contain a couple of the same characters. It's just set in the same universe a few years after that story.

It was not a charity organization, a humanitarian relief organizati...
He quivered. He always did as he waited for my fiancée. A little bead of sweat dripped down his nose as his head hung over the bench, his eyes closed in anticipation.
