A Swindle, of Sorts... pt. 11

The Boxman is the toughest, meanest, most sure person on the game. He has to be. His word is law, and if he falters, or doubts himself, the entire hierarchy of the game collapses. The Boxman stands alone. Alone in a dark world. Taking heat from the front, the rear, and the flanks. The Boxman is a stranger in a strange land, where everyone is looking for an advantage over him. The dealers want the advantage of being able to do whatever they want to do on the game... like make money for themselves. The players want an advantage over him so they too can make money just by tossing the dice. The Boxman's bosses want an advantage over him so they can look smarter than him, thereby impressing their own bosses. Everybody is out to rip and slice into the Boxman's internal organs, so that when he bleeds, they profit.
