A steady flow of people went in and out of the Tops as Moxie stood by the NCR monorail station and gathered herself. Despite finding a lady's hat that had a veil she felt as if she were a beacon that Benny would see as soon as she stepped in the door. Wearing a dress wasn't exactly new to her, but after having worn nothing but some form of armor for so long she felt vulnerable.

"You ready?" Boone asked. Somehow she had managed to drag him into this, even though Arcade was much more willing to prance around the casino with her Boone had pointed out that no one would notice an NCR soldier and his "date" but they would notice a follower. Moxie thought Boone was being polite in not pointing out that everyone would notice a very effeminate follower parading his "date" around. She sighed heavily and nodded, squaring her shoulders as they made their way towards the tops.

"Relax. You'll draw more attention if you stand like you're expecting a fight." Boone growled. Moxie threw him a look that said the same thing right back at him, Boone just shrugged and continued on his way.

Taking a deep breath Moxie pushed open the door and entered the Tops. A chairman greeted her and asked her to turn in her weapons, without hesitation she handed all of them in and moved to the side as Boone did the same.

"Hey there baby doll." Moxie resisted the urge to jump and turned to see one of the chairmen leaning over the counter towards her. "What can Swank here do for you to make your visit the tops?" He looked to be around thirty, brown eyes, brown hair, and a smile that'd melt butter. Moxie put on her best smile and mimicked his position on the counter.

"Swank huh? What do you do here, other than just being eye candy for us ladies I mean?" She mentally congratulated herself as the man in front of her preened a little.

"Baby I run this place."

"I thought Benny ran this place." She inquired innocently, doing her best to avoid insulting him.

"He's the boss sure, but I run this place day to day. I'm his right hand man, you dig?" he didn't seem at all phased by her question which reassured Moxie he was a pretty mild guy as House had predicted.

"So what's there to do around here?"

"Anything your little heart desires doll." Swank ran down the list of attractions and the mention of the theatre got Moxie's attention.

"Need any work done around here?" She asked.

"Baby you stick with me you won't have to work a day in your life." He leaned in a little more and if possible his smile got broader.

"Baby you're too good to me, how about you give me some caps so I can go buy myself something pretty?" She had no idea where that had come from, but giving it all she had seemed to be the way to go with this crowd.

"I like the way you think Doll. Here's a hundred caps for you to go buy yourself something swinging for our date tomorrow night." Swank reached into his pocket and pulled out a white drawstring bag. Handing it over to her he paused as she took a hold of it.

"It's a date." Moxie smiled as he let go of the bag and told her to go enjoy the casino. She walked around the desk and Boone easily fell into place beside her.

"That…was impressive." He finally ventured.

"I can't believe that line about buying something pretty worked…any sign of Benny?" She suddenly remembered the reason they were there.

"No, I've scanned the place top to bottom, must be in his room."

They made their way to the Ace's theater. A guy named Tommy seemed to be short on acts to keep the place filled up. After mentioning that she might know a few people in need of work, and negotiating a finder's fee Moxie and Boone settled down into a booth and had a few drinks.

"We're in, now what?" Boone grumbled. Moxie knew he wasn't happy to be stuck in a place that held so many memories of Carla, but she had to get her revenge, and going in guns blazing wouldn't turn out as well in Vegas as it did in the Mojave.

"So far I think I've done pretty well, I've got a date with Benny's right hand man and one of his employee's is singing my praises for bringing in acts." She took a sip of her nuka and vodka and thought for a minute. "I want to see how things play out tomorrow with Swank, maybe see if I can get him alone and show him what I've got on Benny."

"What makes you think he isn't in on the plan?" Boone asked.

"House knows he's not. Even suggested I use Swank to get to Benny…guess I should be thankful he's a sucker for a pretty face." She shrugged. Boone nodded and went back to keeping an eye on the door for any sign of Benny. After a while they decided he was going to be a no show and made their way out of the casino, Swank personally handed Moxie back her weapons.

"Damn baby, you sure do carry more lead than most broads I know. What's your angle?" He eyed her modded 10 mm.

"I'll tell you tomorrow night." She promised as she winked and followed Boone out the door.

"Ring a ding baby." Swank called out after her.
