After chow, the team set up a poker mat on the table and it made a small snack bar on the other.
“May I fix you a plate, Sister?” Bjornson asked.
Helena glanced at the table briefly and spoke. “Three chocolate chip cookies, a handful of sour cream and onion chips and a root beer, please.”
“As you wish,” said Bjornson. He got up and fixed Sister Helena her plate and sat back down.
“Thank you, Sergeant,” said Helena.
“Velhekomme, Sister,” replied Bjornson.
Colonel Larkin shuffled the cards. “The game is Five-Card Stud. Whites are worth a dollar, reds 10, blues 50, greens 100, blacks 500. Opening ante of $1.00, everyone.” All four placed a white chip in the center of the table.
