Chapter 4: Unexpected Encounter
Anna’s POV
Stepping out of the limo, all I see are neon lights ahead me. The Red Diamonds is one of the best casinos in Las Vegas, standing as the tallest as well as the brightest, it was the diamond of the strip. Getting out on the other side, Doug helps Gianna with her dress and guides her to the entrance of the casino.
“Anna come on!” Gianna shouts back to me as I stumble to get my feet to work in these stripper heels. Walking into the casino, I am in awe by the decor. The lobby for the hotel is on the right hand side where the white tile floors are reflective and the crystal chandeliers that hung overhead were similar to a white firework being exploded in the night sky. In the center stood the table games with red luxurious tables and hundreds of people. Ranging from blackjack to roulette, dozens of poker games were available to play. And on the left hand side, was the entrance to the fanciest bar in all of Las Vegas, Don Drinks. While I was standing around and admiring the decor, Gianna and Doug checked us in to our suite and are walking back towards me with the keycards.
“Thanks!” Looking down at the numbers written on the card, noticing that they are different. “Wait....we got two suites?” I ask while looking at both of them.
“Well, we thought if we told you that we got two suites you wouldn’t want to go tonight. We figured if you met someone you could have some privacy” Gianna says with a sheepish look on her face. I knew something was up. These two couldn’t keep their hands off each other all night. They both knew how their night was going to end.
“You little brat! I knew you were keeping something from me!” I look at the key card and take to give it back to her.
“Nope! That’s your room and you are going to enjoy every aspect of this night! And that means getting laid!” Gianna pats my head as I stand there with a dumbfounded look on my face.
Then Dr. James’ words play back in my head “You have to celebrate tonight.”
“Alright you win” I say with defeat and then find myself getting dragged to the bar
Reaching the bar counter, Gianna waves down the bartender and orders us shots.
“This woman just completed her masters degree! We’re celebrating tonight folks!” Gianna screams to the crowd and is answered with cheers and woo-hoos.
“Cheers you b***h!” I tap my shot glass to hers and down the fire liquid down my throat. Gianna does the same and instead of silently accepting the liquid into her stomach, she screams and orders another round.
This is going to be a long night...
Jack’s POV
Walking around the casino was one of my favorites of the nighttime. The customers are all happy and cheering and the bar is always popping with drunks wasting their money, therefore giving them their money. I walked around the slots and found nothing out of the ordinary and processed to make my way to the table games. Watching the tables were challenging due to the amount of games offered, but with the help of my men on the camera and on the floor, we have been able to find even the best cheaters.
Those people were dealt with accordingly.
I made it a priority for me to walk around the casino, not only to see the people’s reactions but also to make an appearance among my workers. The workers in the mafia knew what I was capable of, the casino workers were hidden of that knowledge for the simple reason, no leaks about what truly happened behind the scenes at my casino. If the news media knew what was happening behind our closed doors, we would be done for, both the casinos and the mafia. We blended in the open and have managed to for 30 years now.
“Boss we got an update” I hear in the earpiece that I have attached to my radio.
“Tell me some good news Jerry” I say as I start walking away from the tables and towards the bar.
“Well, its not. Turns out one of Victor’s men is in the bar. We did the digital scan and found no firearms, just a knife in his right pocket.”
What the hell is Victor’s playing at?
“Who is this person and why did Victor send him?” I signal my men around me to follow me and start making my way towards the bar area.
“I don’t know Boss, but he’s making his way towards two girls at the bar counter.”
