S.T.A.L.K.E.R: The Duel Page #3

I can hear you just fine.

This is my friend Vance.

You a good boy, Vance?

Yeah. I think so.

Well, that's good,

'cause Julio sure can use

more good people around him.

What you talking about, Mama?

Don't get no better than me.

- Can he stay for dinner?

- Sure.

If it's one thing I do right,

it's feeding young men.

- All right. Thanks, Mom.

- Mm-hmm.

- See you.

- All right.

Mama, this is so good.

You better watch it.

He's gonna take it one day.

You're gonna wake up...

Eat your food.

Your big brother?

We just met.

We got the girls.

Hey, Jules, can I use your

basketball when you're gone?

You already know

the answer to that.

Now get that camera

out of my face.

Aw, man. Come on, Ang.

Let's go.

Hey, yo, man, I gotta roll.

All right. Cool.

Let me holler at you

for a second. You stuffed?

Yeah, man. Thanks for dinner.

I really appreciate it.

- I do what I can.

- But, yo,

why do I get the feeling you're

just buttering me up for something?

Definitely not ignorant and dumb.

- Mm-hmm.

- You're right.

I do want you

for something, crony.

I want you to be

my dueling partner.

I know you can play,

and I think together

we stand a good chance

at winning the Gathering.

What's the Gathering?

It's the largest dueling tournament

in the Northeast.

for a grand prize of 50 G's.

Man, what do you need $50,000 for?

Look around, new white boy.

Just where do you think we are?

It's the ghetto, partner.

And that grand prize is my family's

one-way ticket to a better life.

Yo, I'm sorry, man.

I don't play anymore.

I thought you might say that.

And that's why I came up with a way

to make it worth your while.

What's that?

You help me win the Gathering,

and I'll make it so that no one

messes with you at school.

You can do that?

Like this.

By this time tomorrow,

you'll go from

"pasty new white boy"

to "Vance, the number one playa."

It's got a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

Come on. What do you say?

We got a deal?

Deal.

Ah, yes! All right. Look.

First duel's tomorrow,

right before school,

a block away from the cage.

- All right.

- Don't keep me waiting.

All right, man.

Thanks again. Cool.

See you later, all right?

Yes! I'm gonna win

that Gathering.

Where the hell's this white boy?

Man, and you said I was impatient.

I'm ready.

What?

Are you serious with that outfit?

This is my old school uniform.

What school did you go to,

Goof Troupe Academy?

This is a basketball uniform.

It's designed to help you

move better on the court.

Yeah, well, at the same time,

make you look like a complete dork.

- Whatever.

- Look, man,

if I'm gonna teach you

how to have a swagger,

you're gonna have to learn
