Part IV<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDottie?\u201d Winifred stammered as Monique worked to help her out of her clothes. \u201cDottie, I don\u2019t want to drown!\u201d She seemed conflicted between becoming undressed and facing the interior of the tank.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry, miss,\u201d Mr. Rick told her kindly. \u201cBut if you did not wish to drown, you shouldn\u2019t have played the craps table. The rules were explained to you, but you took the risk anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t drown her!\u201d Dorothy protested. \u201cYou\u2019ve\u2026 I\u2019ve\u2026 I\u2019ve lost two sisters already! I can\u2019t lose a third! What will mum and dad say?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou really should have thought of that before you started to play,\u201d Mr. Rick told her sympathetically. \u201cBut rules are rules, ladies. My hands are tied. Right, Monique?\u201d<\/p>\n

The attendant smiled and nodded as she walked a naked Winifred over to the tank. \u201cBut I don\u2019t want to drown!\u201d Winifred yelped again as they disappeared for a moment behind the back. Then the metal wall was opened and Winifred was gently pushed inside.<\/p>\n

Again she became aware of her nudity as she tried to cover her breasts and crotch. Then she frantically pushed her hands against the glass. \u201cDottie, get me out of here!\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorothy stared in horror at her sister\u2019s plight. Then she turned back to their host. \u201cMr. Rick, you\u2019re not really going to drown her, are you?\u201d<\/p>\n

As if in answer, water began shooting up from an opening in the floor. Winifred let out a yelp as it bubbled up in a fountain. \u201cDOTTIE, DO SOMETHING!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Rick, isn\u2019t there anything I can do?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps for your sake you should leave while you still can. I\u2019d hate to see anything happen to all four of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I can\u2019t just leave?? She\u2019s my sister!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re certainly welcome to stay and watch if you wish.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDOTTIE???<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Rick, isn\u2019t there anything I can do?\u201d It was alarming to see the water now covering her sister\u2019s bare feet. At that rate it wouldn\u2019t take long for the tank to fill.<\/p>\n

The Club co-owner looked at Monique who once again shrugged her shoulders as though it was up to him. \u201cI hesitate to put you at risk, miss. After all, your sister played and lost.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCan\u2019t I win her back? Can\u2019t I play something else? How about that roulette wheel over there? How does that work?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDOTTIE, WOULD YOU HURRY IT UP??\u201d Winifred was stomping in place as though trying to stomp the water back down from whence it was coming.<\/p>\n

\u201cNormally I would spin the wheel and you would bet on a number or color. I suppose I could make it easier by having you bet on whether a number comes up odd or even or whether the color comes up black or white. That would even the odds. Of course you would have to guess correctly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDAW-TEEEE??\u201d Winifred banged on the glass with her palms, growing more and more frantic.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne spin and I could win her freedom?\u201d Dorothy asked hopefully.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot so fast. We can\u2019t make it that simple. I believe you had to win three rolls of the dice in order to free your sister in the chair. Of course we all know how that turned out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorothy glanced over at Emily and immediately wished she hadn\u2019t. Her dead, naked sister sat there with eyes wide and vacant. There were still little tendrils of smoke drifting up. Nearby Zilpha\u2019s severed head still rested on her corpse.<\/p>\n

\u201cDOTTIE, GET ME OUT OF HERE!\u201d The water was now climbing Winifred\u2019s ankles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019M BLOODY WORKING ON IT!\u201d she hollered back at her. Then she turned back to the Club co-owner.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Rick, how can I win her back? Are you suggesting three wins in a row like last time?\u201d<\/p>\n

He looked over at Monique who shrugged her shoulders again. Then he smiled sympathetically at her. \u201cI suppose we could do that. Would you like to guess numbers? Or would you like to guess what color will come up?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDOTTIE, WILL YOU BLOODY HURRY UP AND GUESS ALREADY?\u201d The water was now starting up Winifred\u2019s shapely calves.<\/p>\n

Apparently the sister in the tank could hear them through the opening at the top. But there was a grating in place up above. Her tank would fill and she would eventually find herself totally submerged.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess I\u2019ll play colors, Mr. Rick.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll give you $1,000 for each correct guess you make. But a wrong guess will cost you all the money won so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWOULD YOU JUST HURRY UP??\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRed, please.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou do realize of course that if you lose, your sister will drown and you will forfeit your life to the Club. You understand that, don\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDOTTIE, WILL YOU JUST HURRY UP AND SPIN THAT BLOODY WHEEL??\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWOULD YOU JUST CALM DOWN AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH?? I\u2019M DOING MY BEST OVER HERE!\u201d<\/p>\n

She turned to the dealer and nervously told him, \u201cRed, please.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRed it is.\u201d Then he spun the roulette wheel in one direction while the marble went rolling in the other along the outer edge.<\/p>\n

Winifred tried to calm down and take deep breaths. Maybe she would be all right. It was getting scary in the tank. At least her sister hadn\u2019t abandoned her to her fate. Maybe Dottie could win her back.<\/p>\n

The wheel began to slow down. The marble started to bounce around. It settled in the black number 17 slot.<\/p>\n

Winifred let out a yelp in the tank. \u201cDOTTIE?? I THINK IT\u2019S COMING IN FASTER!\u201d Now the water was approaching her knees.<\/p>\n

Dorothy panted for breath as she saw her sister\u2019s plight. The sight was horrifically arousing. It shamed her the way she found herself becoming wet at the image of the filling tank.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are costs to losing,\u201d Mr. Rick smiled sadly. \u201cWould you prefer to stop playing? Or do you wish to keep going?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDOTTIE, KEEP PLAYING THE BLOODY GAME!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWill you just calm down and take deep breaths in there?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m\u2026 trying!\u201d Winifred panted as she tried to calm her wildly beating heart. But the water seemed to be rising faster.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll try red again, please.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Rick smiled and nodded. Then he set the wheel in motion before sending the marble rolling around the edge. Winifred whimpered inside the tank as the water continued to climb her legs.<\/p>\n

The wheel slowed down and the marble started to bounce. Then it rattled home in red number 23. Mr. Rick smiled as he brought out ten $100 bills and placed them in front of her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI won!\u201d Dorothy called out to her sister.<\/p>\n

Winifred thought she detected less water coming in. \u201cI think\u2026 I think the water isn\u2019t filling so fast! Spin again, love!\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorothy told the Club co-owner, \u201cI\u2019ll take black this time, please.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Rick smiled and nodded. He set the wheel in motion. Then he rolled the marble in the other direction.<\/p>\n

Winifred whimpered as the water continued to rise. It was halfway up her legs now. She no longer bothered with modesty by trying to cover herself. After all, it was only the four of them in the room.<\/p>\n

The marble began to bounce around. Then it settled in red number 3. The co-owner of the Club smiled sadly as he reached out and took Dorothy\u2019s winnings away.<\/p>\n

In the tank Winifred let out a yelp as water jetted in more aggressively. \u201cDOTTIE?? I THINK IT\u2019S FLOWING FASTER AGAIN!\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorothy turned to look. The water had almost reached Winifred\u2019s crotch. She felt a shameful surge of tingles at the sight of her poor sister trapped inside the tank.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you wish to play again?\u201d Mr. Rick asked kindly.<\/p>\n

Dorothy gulped and nodded. \u201cI\u2019ll take black, please.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Rick spun the wheel before rolling the marble in the opposite direction. Winifred wanted to call out for her to hurry up. But she managed to swallow down her growing fear.<\/p>\n

The wheel slowed until the marble began to bounce. It rattled home in red number 19. Dorothy was crestfallen. \u201cWhat rotten luck,\u201d Mr. Rick told her kindly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened?\u201d Winifred called out from the tank as she looked down at the rising water.<\/p>\n

\u201cI lost again, Winnie!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou LOST?? DOTTIE, GET ME OUT OF HERE! I DON\u2019T WANT TO DROWN!\u201d Then she gasped as the water reached her crotch. Was it coming in faster?<\/p>\n

\u201cDOTTIE?? THE WATER\u2019S RISING FAST IN HERE!\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorothy anxiously looked at her sister. Then she turned back to the Club co-owner. He kindly asked, \u201cDo you wish to try again, miss?\u201d<\/p>\n

She looked at the roulette wheel in confusion. \u201cRed\u2026 er, BLACK! No, I\u2026 red, please.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIs that your final answer?\u201d he asked with amusement.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes. Red, please.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRed it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Rick spun the wheel in one direction and the marble in the other. In the tank Dorothy heard her sister hyperventilating. \u201cDeep breaths, Winnie!\u201d she called out to her, trying to help calm her down.<\/p>\n

The wheel slowed. The marble bounced. This time it settled into red number 30.<\/p>\n

Mr. Rick smiled as he once more handed Dorothy ten $100 bills. \u201cI won!\u201d she called out to her sister. \u201cOnly two more spins to go!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHurry up, love!\u201d Winifred called to her, trying to calm herself. By now the water was almost up to her navel.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell?\u201d Mr. Rick asked softly.<\/p>\n

Dorothy studied the roulette wheel. She was conflicted, understanding the danger her sister was in. Which color should she pick? Would it come up red again? Or would it come up black?<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll\u2026 I\u2019ll take black this time,\u201d she said, none too confidently.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack it is, \u201cMr. Rick said with a smile. Then he spun the roulette wheel once more before setting the marble rolling along the outer edge.<\/p>\n

Dorothy watched anxiously. In the tank Winifred tried to catch her breath. The height of the water was alarming. All she could do was hope her sister could win back her freedom.<\/p>\n

The marble began bounding again. It bounced in and out of red number 27, causing Dorothy to gasp in horror. Then it settled in black number 8.<\/p>\n

Mr. Rick smiled as he handed out ten more $100 bills. Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief. \u201cI won again, Winnie!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to win one more, right?\u201d her sister called from inside the tank.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree in a row; right, Mr. Rick?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right,\u201d he said with a smile. \u201cThree in a row.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winifred looked all around the tank. Something felt different. Had the water stopped? Maybe there was hope after all.<\/p>\n

Dorothy looked at the wheel, trying to decide. Which color should it be? Which one would come up next?<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack, please,\u201d she said uncertainly.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you sure?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, please.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack it is.\u201d Then he set the wheel in motion before rolling the marble again.<\/p>\n

Dorothy looked over at her sister in the tank. The water was just above her navel. She tried to give her a reassuring smile, causing her sister to weakly smile back at her.<\/p>\n

The marble fell into the numbered section and began to bounce. Then it rattled home in red number 32. Mr. Rick smiled sadly as he reached out and confiscated all of Dorothy\u2019s winnings.<\/p>\n

\u201cDottie, what happened \u2013 NO!\u201d That\u2019s when Winifred felt the water flowing in again at her feet. It had momentarily stopped, perhaps with that last win. But now it was back to filling up the tank.<\/p>\n

\u201cI lost!\u201d Dorothy wailed.<\/p>\n

\u201cDottie, get me out of here!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying!\u201d Then she turned back toward the Club co-owner. \u201cBlack, please.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Rick hesitated a moment. Dorothy said it again. He nodded as he set the wheel in motion before rolling the marble.<\/p>\n

The wheel spun as Winifred grew anxious in the tank. The water felt like it was rising again. It was almost up to her breasts.<\/p>\n

The marble fell into the numbers and bounced once. It settled in red number 16. Dorothy let out a cry of horror.<\/p>\n

\u201cDottie?\u201d Winifred called out anxiously.<\/p>\n

\u201cI lost again, Winnie!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBloody hell, love! Would you just get me out of here?\u201d Was the water rising faster??<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying!!\u201d Then she turned to the Club co-owner and blurted out, \u201cBlack. It\u2019s got to come up black this time!\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Rick nodded before setting the wheel and then the marble in motion. Dorothy watched anxiously, quietly murmuring to herself, \u201cIt\u2019s got to come up black; it\u2019s got to come up black; it\u2019s got to come up black.\u201d Then it fell and rattled into red number 19.<\/p>\n

Dorothy blurted out, \u201cBloody hell!\u201d In the tank Winifred called out, \u201cWhat happened love?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI bloody lost again!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDOTTIE??\u201d<\/p>\n

It felt like there was more water flowing into the tank. It reached her breasts and completely covered them. Now it was rising up her shoulders toward her neck.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack!\u201d Dorothy blurted out in desperation. \u201cIt\u2019s got to land on bloody black this time!\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Rick nodded as he spun the wheel. Then the marble went rolling again along the outer edge. It grew tired before it fell into the numbers, landing in red number 12.<\/p>\n

Dorothy let out a cry of horror. In the tank Winifred found she was starting to stand on her toes. She was about to lose the floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cDOTTIE?? It\u2019s getting HIGH IN HERE!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m doing the best I can, love!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps you might find more success playing the numbers,\u201d Mr. Rick suggested kindly. \u201cYou can always choose odd or even. It\u2019s still a 50-50 proposition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d Dorothy said nervously as she looked at the wheel. \u201cMaybe\u2026 maybe I\u2019ll take odd.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you sure?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOdd, please.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOdd it is.\u201d Then Mr. Rick set the wheel spinning before setting the marble rolling.<\/p>\n

\u201cDottie; it\u2019s getting high in here!\u201d Winifred had lost her footing. Now she was forced to tread water. That grate above her looked like it was getting closer.<\/p>\n

The marble fell from the outer edge and bounced off the centerpiece. Then it rattled home in black number 6. Dorothy tipped her head back and let out a cry.<\/p>\n

\u201cDottie, what happened??\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI lost again!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBLOODY HELL, DON\u2019T LET ME DROWN IN HERE!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTHIS WHEEL HATES ME, WINNIE!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPLAY SOMETHING ELSE!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWHAT ELSE TO YOU WANT ME TO PLAY??\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHOW THE HELL SHOULD I KNOW?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat else can I play?\u201d Dorothy anxiously asked the Club co-owner.<\/p>\n

He looked over at Monique who shrugged again. Then he thought about it for a couple seconds. I guess you could always try Blackjack. You try to get to 21 with cards without going over while trying to beat what I get.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnything but this bloody wheel! I think it hates me!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnderstood.\u201d<\/p>\n

He pulled out a deck of cards and shuffled them. From the tank they heard, \u201cDottie, hurryyyyyy!\u201d Dorothy looked over to see her sister was not far from the top of the tank.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do I play?\u201d she asked him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI deal two cards to each of us. You try to beat me. Three wins in a row sets your sister free and spares your life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He nodded as he dealt two cards to them both. The first one was face down while the second was face up. He showed a 6 of hearts while Dorothy showed a 9 of diamonds.<\/p>\n

\u201cJacks, queens and kings are worth 10. Aces are either worth 1 or 11. It all adds up. If you think you can beat me then you stand on the cards you have. You see I have a 6 showing. If I have 16 I\u2019ll have to draw another card. If I go over 21 you win. If you draw and go over 21 you lose.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorothy checked her other card. It was the queen of spades. \u201cI\u2019ll stay,\u201d she said hopefully.<\/p>\n

Mr. Rick turned his bottom card over, the 4 of clubs. He took another card. It was the 10 of diamonds. \u201cI have 20.\u201d Then he asked what her card was.<\/p>\n

Dorothy turned it over. \u201cI only have 19. You mean I lost?\u201d Mr. Rick nodded.<\/p>\n

\u201cDAW-TEEE????\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorothy looked over at the tank. Winifred was getting closer to the top, her legs kicking as her arms paddled. She found herself horrified as well as perversely aroused at her sister\u2019s plight.<\/p>\n

She rapidly turned back to the Club co-owner. \u201cCan we play again?\u201d He nodded before dealing out two more cards.<\/p>\n

This time Dorothy had an 8 of hearts showing with a 6 of spades underneath. Mr. Rick showed the jack of clubs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to beat you?\u201d Dorothy asked uncertainly.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to guess what my bottom card might be. If you think you can\u2019t beat it with what you have then you can ask for another card.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll take another card, please.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Rick dealt her the queen of clubs. Dorothy let out a wail. \u201cI went over!\u201d she gasped as she turned over her card.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat rotten luck.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDAW-TEEEEEE??\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorothy panted for breath as she looked over at her sister. Her head was getting close to the top of the tank. She kept kicking and waving with her hands to keep herself up in the air pocket.<\/p>\n

Dorothy couldn\u2019t help noticing how erect her sister\u2019s nipples had become. Hers were almost as hard just sitting there watching. Why was that? Was it because of seeing her sister about to drown? Or was it because of her own peril?<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you want to try again?\u201d Mr. Rick asked kindly.<\/p>\n

\u201cHURRY UP!\u201d Winifred gasped, whimpering as her air pocket diminished.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, please!\u201d Dorothy gasped anxiously.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou realize you are risking your life as well as your sister\u2019s, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes \u2013 yes; I\u2019ll play anyway!\u201d<\/p>\n

He nodded as he dealt two cards. Dorothy had a king of spades showing and a jack of hearts underneath. Mr. Rick was showing a 7 of diamonds.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m good,\u201d she panted hopefully. Mr. Rick turned his bottom card over. It was the 10 of spades.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have 20!\u201d Dorothy declared as she turned her card over.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen you\u2019ve won,\u201d he told her as he reached under and put ten $100 bills in front of her. \u201cTwo more and I can free your sister.<\/p>\n

\u201cDOTTIE??\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorothy turned to see Winifred trying to brace herself near the top. Her head was starting to tip back a little. If only she could win two more.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s play again, Mr. Rick!\u201d she blurted out.<\/p>\n

\u201cCertainly.\u201d Then he dealt two more cards to them both. He was showing a 5 of hearts while she was showing the 4 of spades.<\/p>\n

She had a 3 of hearts underneath and asked for another card. She got an 8 of spades, giving her fifteen. If he had an ace he would beat her.<\/p>\n

She took another card. It was the 4 of diamonds. Dorothy stopped on 19.<\/p>\n

Mr. Rick turned his card over. He had a 9 of clubs. He had 14 and was forced to take another card.<\/p>\n

He turned over an 8 of diamonds and went over. He smiled as he gave Dorothy another ten $100 bills. She gasped hopefully.<\/p>\n

\u201cI won again!\u201d she called to her sister. \u201cOne more and you\u2019re home free!\u201d Then she saw her sister\u2019s desperate plight.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s play again!\u201d she blurted out. \u201cHurry!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Club co-owner dealt two more cards to them both. Dorothy got the 7 of clubs and the 5 of diamonds. With Mr. Rick showing a queen of hearts she was forced to take another card.<\/p>\n

She had 12 and drew the 3 of clubs. She wasn\u2019t sure it would be enough and drew another. The next card was the 5 of clubs. She had 20 and wasn\u2019t about to take another card.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwenty,\u201d she panted hopefully. Mr. Rick turned over the ace of spades. \u201cTwenty one,\u201d he smiled sadly before once again removing all her winnings.<\/p>\n

\u201cNOOO!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDOTTIE, HELP ME!\u201d Winifred was growing desperate. Was the water level rising again?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe wheel!\u201d Dorothy gasped in desperation. \u201cLet\u2019s go back to the wheel! Black, please!\u201d Surely that damned color had to come up soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you wish.\u201d Then he reached over and set the wheel in motion. The marble went rolling along the outer edge in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n

Dorothy heard her sister whimpering over in the tank. \u201cHang on, Winnie!\u201d she called over to her.<\/p>\n

The poor thing had her head tipped back as she tried to breathe. But it looked like she was hanging on to the grate up at the top. It wouldn\u2019t be much longer before the tank was full.<\/p>\n

The marble fell from the outer edge. It bounced in and out of black number 2 before settling into black number 35. Dorothy let out a gasp of relief as once more the Club co-owner placed ten $100 bills in front of her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did it, Winnie! Two more and you\u2019re out!\u201d Then she saw her sister with her mouth forced up against the grate up at the top. She had to win fast.<\/p>\n

\u201cHang on, Winnie!\u201d Then she told Mr. Rick, \u201cBlack, please. Hurry!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVery well.\u201d Then he quickly set the wheel in motion before rolling the marble, knowing there was very little time left.<\/p>\n

Dorothy anxiously watched the wheel. Then she turned to see Winifred struggling up at the grate. She frantically gasped, \u201cHold your breath, Winnie!\u201d<\/p>\n

The marble rolled down and bounced a little. Then it settled in black number 22. Mr. Rick smiled as he placed ten more $100 bills in front of her. \u201cOne more win and I\u2019ll drain the tank and spare your sister.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou hear that, Winnie? One more\u2026\u201d Then Dorothy gasped when she saw Winifred fully submerged, her cheeks bulging as she hit the glass with the palms of her hands.<\/p>\n

\u201cHOLD YOUR BREATH, WINNIE! HOLD YOUR BREATH!\u201d Then she turned to look at the roulette wheel.<\/p>\n

What color \u2013 what color \u2013 what color?? She didn\u2019t have much time to decide. Would it come up black three times in a row?<\/p>\n

\u201cRed please.\u201d Mr. Rick nodded and then spun the wheel before setting the marble in motion. There was no time for questioning Dorothy\u2019s decision as her sister in the tank could only hold her breath so long.<\/p>\n

Dorothy turned to see her sister in the tank. Bubbles dribbled out of her nose as she beat on the glass with her palms. \u201cHOLD YOUR BREATH, WINNIE! THE WHEEL IS SPINNING! HOLD IT A FEW SECONDS LONGER!\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorothy was anxious, afraid, aroused and excited. If the wheel didn\u2019t come up red there would be no time to start over and try to make three wins in a row. Winnie wouldn\u2019t be able to hold her breath that long.<\/p>\n

The wheel slowed until the marble lost its momentum. It dropped in and bounced a couple times. Then it settled in black number 31.<\/p>\n

Dorothy stared in disbelief as Mr. Rick sympathetically confiscated her winnings. She should have gone with her first instinct and chosen black. Now she and her sister had both lost.<\/p>\n

She turned to Winifred with a look of shock and horror in her expression. Her sister looked at her and bubbled as she palmed the glass again. \u201cWinnie?\u201d Dorothy breathed in horror.<\/p>\n

She saw a huge explosion of bubbles as her sister opened her mouth. Then she appeared to start gulping water. Her stomach rippled as her chest heaved, her breasts bouncing and wobbling. Dorothy let out a cry as she promptly wet herself, cumming shamefully.<\/p>\n

Winifred hitched and jerked inside the tank, her mouth opening and closing. It was evident how much she was in agony over not being able to breathe. Her expression was one of horror as her body kept spasming and convulsing as though it might double over.<\/p>\n

She gulped less and less, fewer bubbles leaking out through her gaping mouth as her lungs flooded. She floated there in place, her arms stretched upward as though she\u2019d been reaching for a nonexistent air supply. Then they slowly lowered until they hung at her sides.<\/p>\n

Winifred gently swayed inside the tank. A few stray bubbles slipped out of her gaping mouth. She had a look of shock on her face that softened until she stared with unseeing eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinnie!\u201d Dorothy breathed in horror. She had to choke back a sob. She\u2019d lost all three of her sisters. But in the process she\u2019d gambled her own life away as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe drowned well; I\u2019ll give her that much,\u201d Mr. Rick observed with a smile. \u201cI always did enjoy a good drowning with an attractive victim in the tank.\u201d Then he smiled sadly at the last remaining sister.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou gave it a good try, miss. But it seems you have gambled your life away, as well as the lives of your sisters. So I think I\u2019ll execute you up on the Entertainment stage. After all, I think our clients deserve a good execution tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Rick?\u201d Dorothy stammered in horror. \u201cYou\u2019re\u2026 you\u2019re going to execute me??\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, miss. I believe you\u2019ll look good hanging from our gallows. Now if you\u2019ll undress, we can alert the Entertainment stage to your impending arrival. Monique, my dear. Would you please help the young lady out of her clothes?\u201d<\/p>\n
