Bringing Down the House week 3

In this section that i read kevin returns from the casino he went to back to his normal life as a student. A month after he gets back he get taken from his swim meet to go to an old math room where Fisher and Martinez are trying to get Kevin onto the Blackjack team. Kevin meets Mickey who he finds out is the top dog of the blackjack team. Kevin is told about other basic strategies and is asked what he knows about blackjack. Kevin is impressive to the group and they tell him that he is accepted if he can pass the test. A week later Kevin arrives at an underground chinese casino which is run by a local gangster, and Kevin is supposed to act like its Vegas. Kevin receives the clues from the spotters and goes to a table with Martinez and Mickey. Everyone seems to be watching him as he wins over 600$ and he starts to have a whole lot of fun. Somebody then comes and drags him with a bag over his head to an enclosed room and he is asked if he knows what the count is. Kevin says 7 and he is correct so he does pass the test( it turns out to be JUST a test all along). Kevin and the team head to Vegas and Kevin has to carry all the money through, and he also caries a bunch of chips because a 500$ chip looks exactly like a 1$ chip. Kevin also learns that Mickey is a very notorious blackjack card counter, and if he is ever seen with him by a casino he will probly be taken to the back room and beaten.
