Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed
The feds are my worst nightmare. I have always kept the casino clean from any and everything that can and will go wrong. Its with this problem of the attempted suicide that my Monday morning started off. I am in the camera room upstairs and I am so pissed off right now. This whole process of investigation I can't have my establishment closed for goodness sakes . I have to get in and investigate the situation myself. In most cases my clients are mostly people who don't spend too much money and are only there for entertainment.
You guessed it I am the owner of the Pink flamingo casino and my name is Jephry Da Silva most people just call me Jeff and that's OK with me. I am definitely not a gangster and I don't smuggle drugs or anything like that. No ways am I involved with anything underhanded or illegal. I do look fearsome and people or friends have told me I am a very aggressive dude when I don't get my way it's "my way or the highway" yes siree I am a lot of man to deal with when I am angry and upset but that's not very often as I do tend to get my way most of the time.
Well today is definitely not my day.
My general manager has some explaining to do and he had better do a good job of it.
Talk of the devil and here he is. "You are a bit late, this morning", I say sarcastically. " We'll it's like this ",Mr Da Silva. . He only Misters me when he knows hes messed up with everything or something.
I say,"Listen here I am trying to make you aware of the feel for this business and you really mucked up last night just when I went home and TOLD you to TAKE it EASY dude. What did you do?." The weasel has the balls to smile a idiotic stupid smile and I want to strangle him.
"Yesterday ,you shystered a large amount of money out of a young man who's tried to commit suicide. Do you remember what you did ?" , I almost shouted at him.
He's not comprehending the collosal mistake he's made last night. I can see in his eyes he thinks it's great to take a novices money. Someone you did not investigate first. Gambling is an art form as far as I am concerned. It is a dance of take more than you give but don't over do it. This managing i***t doesn't know s**t about this business. I tried to educate him the best I could but there's greed and stupidity in his makeup that just doesn't sit well with my setup here. I will probably have to fire him or try once more to get him to understand that you don't do what he's done last night.
"Well boss," he says ."I really thought you would appreciate what I did here last night. In one night I brought in 40K and you don't even need to worry because it's pure profit.". I am sighing right now and my inclination is to smack this i***t. I have to calm down and explain that having a man in jeopardy is not business, at least not the type of business I want. I want people to enjoy themselves and come to my establishment for a great time and not to have my business a place of suicide and murder etc.
If I make continues gains over long term periods it's more money and stability is guaranteed. That is how this works but if you have a stupid manager this what is happening now is what you get out of the situation and it's really not on.
Two police officers come into the room with us and ask for my statement. I am willing as ever to comply with the law. It's then that Hadley my manager actually sees what he's done wrong.
Over the heads of the police officers I can see he's eyes meet mine and he looks worried. Finally he gets it.
After a few hours the hype from this incident wears off. I am called upstairs again a few hours later for a young "lady" they want to put out of the casino but she put up a fight and I am now having to ask her "Nicely" to vacate the premises, for good hopefully.
I find out the guy who tried to commit suicides name is James and his sister works for me.
I have seen her at the roulette table and boy is she something to look at. I don't think she even knows how beautiful she is. Gorgeous red haired beauty that what she is. I avoid her at all costs because I know I could want her ,she's definitely my kind of girl. I don't mix
business with pleasure.
If I am going to speak to her I know I am going to want her. Sometimes I look up and I see her dealing the cards and I am so hungry for her. I go immediately to the staff showers at the gym and have a cold shower. It's that bad at the moment , so with this problem I am forced to speak to her and find out exactly what happened to her brother and see if I can help to ease the situation.
I go over to the table she is working at and ask her "Miss Jeanne Holmes can I speak to you please. I brought one of the other workers with me. This worker will take over from her and deal the cards.
She looks up and I see tears in her eyes as she vacates her position.
When she turns to me she asks, "Am I fired Mr Da Silva?". I touch her elbow and smile reassuringly as I say "Of course not , angle."
I try to make it light hearted and tell her I am definitely not going to fire her. I just want to know what happened with her brother and where he is right now.
