Almost a year passed and Trina's brother has kept his word about gambling which made her happy. Back at the Luxor JD was looking for Criss when Costa came over. "Costa have you seen Criss I can't find him anywhere" he said. "You know Criss he reappears and disappears like a ghost he's probably went to do something for his wedding"Costa remarked. "I don't know I'm getting that pit of my stomach feeling I get when Criss puts his life on the line"he replied. When Trina arrived at work she saw Criss talking to a guy than she watched as Criss gave him some money. She walked over as the guy left. "What was that about?" she asked spooking Criss that he dropped what was in his hand. "Trina you scared me," about to pick up something but Trina beat him to it. She saw they were betting slips some over a thousand dollars.

"Trina it isn't what you think"he replied. "Criss I'm not stupid these are betting slip you're gambling". "It's just some small bets"he said but she wasn't buying them. "What you think $10,000 dollars for the Patroit to beat The Broncos by ten point or more is little. Criss you promised your family you wouldn't gamble anymore". "What they don't know won't hurt them"he stated and left. Trina knew what she had to do before Criss got too far in. While Criss was filming something she asked JD, Sandra, and Costa to meet her at Serenity. At the house Trina arrived as Sandra asked what was going on. "I can't tell you untill JD and Costa come". A knock came to the door and Sandra got it. At the door was a big guy looking for Criss. "I'm sorry he isn't here" she said a little afraid. "Well tell him Jackayl is looking for him" and left. Dam it Criss as JD and Costa came in through the back.

"What's with the secret meeting at Serenity?"Costa asked as they all sat down. "It's about Criss he's gambling again"she remarked. "Are you sure Trina that Criss is gambling again"Sandra asked. She took a betting slip out of her pocket. "Criss dropped this" and JD looked at it. "A thousand dollar bet on the Heat winning their game against the Lakers by three point or less!!!"JD stated. "I can't believe Criss is gambling again he promised us he wouldn't do it". "We have to stop him or he's going to end up like my brother did"Trina replied. The door opened and Criss walked in wondering why everyone was there.
