When you're a superhero, you don't often notice pink tennis shoes. Poker Boy is usually far too busy saving the world from evil, saving dogs from sure death, or playing professional poker, his day job that pays the bills of being a superhero. But when Poker Boy sees the pink shoes at the entrance to the Silicon Suckers city, he knows Super Keno is in deep trouble. He just hopes he's not too late.
