Encore: The Bounty-Hunter (Vegas)

A hunter from Romania named Helton challenges the Vegas dominion of the Dutchman Kuyt, seeking the rescue of freezing Iyabetha!

Here's an extra addendum folks, a fun bounty-hunter fairy-tale inspired by Memento (Guy Pearce).

Helton was a vampire-hunter and bounty-hunter from Transylvania. He was in Las Vegas, Nevada, tracking a wolfish warlord dealing in blood diamonds and staying at the Encore and Wynn hotels in Vegas. Helton was an old school hunter who otherwise dressed like a relic or emissary from yesteryear.

HELTON: I think this warlord Kuyt is hiding and staying at the Wynn hotel in Vegas, which is where I'll wait!

Helton met a gorgeous Eastern European woman at Wynn named Iyabetha who was friends with Kuyt but was more or less his call-girl. Helton wanted to take Iyabetha away from this warlord world of blood diamonds and told Iyabetha he had lots of money, enough to help her escape the real cold grip of Kuyt's fat fingers. Iyabetha seemed moved by the decent proposition in Vegas.

Helton challenged Kuyt to a poker-game at the Wynn after checking into the lavish suite Kuyt's syndicate minions provided him having respected Helton as a worthy challenger to Kuyt's Vegas dominion. Helton and Iyabetha secretly stayed together at that Wynn suite and washed up to prepare for Helton's stand.

There were lots of people playing poker with Kuyt that night at the Wynn. Kuyt had a room made to look like a typical American suburban townhouse bedroom, complete with sport posters and memorabilia. The players were from all walks of life and included a Vegas dealer, a bartender, a druglord, and a politician. Helton sat down in this company and noted the female minstrels who entertained the competitors and challengers during the card-play!

HELTON: I notice you've had great hands with Jacks cards, Kuyt.
KUYT: I get the sense you're holding some Queen arrangement.

HELTON: Why, yes, I have a hand with red Queens and Kings now!

KUYT: What're you some kind of Transylvanian card-vamp?

HELTON: I'm your typical 'cyborg-dancer' of poker, my good warlord friend.

KUYT: Aha.

Helton won the poker championship and convinced Kuyt to give him the had of Iyabetha for the triumph. Kuyt had no choice but to concede defeat. Helton however was not finished in his Vegas mission. He sent word to the underground that he managed to seize the greatest gem in Kuyt's underworld dominion --- the delicious Iyabetha.
