Cat Colony Drabble

     Chance was all smiles within those walls. He brought in many customers at the casino today. He was tired after keeping up the facade for so long, and let out a happy sigh once he reached his bed. He didn't mind putting on that fake smile and concern to pull in more interest. It helped the casino, and it looked good for him. He may not completely care what the other Blackjack members think, but he might as well make himself look good, right? Who knows, maybe he'd get paid even more eventually.

     The next morning was his day off. Chance put on his favorite jacket and headed outside with a small bag in his pocket. He checked his surroundings before heading off to a nearby abandoned field. Chance took one last look around before shaking the bag in his hand. He had a faint smile as he saw his favorite cats from the local cat colony, and held out some of the food in his hand. "This is all I have for now. I'll bring more later tonight." He pet the first cat to come up and eat from his hand. This big guy was probably his favorite from the whole group.

     Chance had a genuine smile as he spent time with the cats. He couldn't spend too much time here unfortunately. Didn't need any of the Blackjacks to see his soft side. No one needed to see it in his opinion. These cats were his little secret, and one he'd only share to someone he'd fully trust. Too bad that person is gone now. Who knows if he'd find someone he actually trusted.

     After about an hour, Chance got up and said his goodbye to the colony, with promises that he'd bring more food later. He'd make sure the cats were well fed. They were probably the only ones he did consider friends. Could cats be friends? He didn't know, nor care. He felt happy around them and that's all that mattered.
