Crew's Eleven

"You're fired" said Reginald Vaughn (owner of the Vaughn Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas) in his cold hearted British accent as he looked at his now former Assistant Manager Marcus Crew right in the eye. Marcus seemed visibly upset and angry but held in his true feelings. He extended his hand towards Vaughn; Vaughn quickly shook it and went on about his business as Vaughn left the premises. Little did Reginald Vaughn know, he just made the biggest mistake of his life.

Marcus walked out to the parking lot, got to his car, and then made a call. After several rings the other lined picked up.

Hello? Asked the voice on the other line.

Danny, its Marcus.

Hey Marcus how ya doin'? asked Danny Ocean.

Just got fired

You're shittin' me?

Nope, the bastard just did it now.

Why, on what grounds?

He's trying to say business has been down since he put me in my position, blah blah blah, all the same political bullshit. Business has been up ten fold, he obviously just found someone cheaper.

What a tool, sorry to hear that Crew, but why call me first?

Was wondering if you were gonna be busy the next few weeks, think I have a job for you and your squad. (Hinting that he wanted revenge on Reginald, and wanted to take down the Vaughn Hotel & Casino)

Geez MC, as much as I would love to help you out, and as much as I would love to take down Reginald Vaughn, I just don't think I can make it happen right now… Tess and I are about to go out to the Bahamas, and we're trying to lay low until everything with paying Benedict back blows over. I'm sorry Marcus.

(Disappointed) Nahh, it's cool Danny, I completely understand.

(Quickly thinking) But wait a minute? There is no reason why you can't do this yourself.

Are you kidding? shot back Marcus. I've been out of the game since '01.

That doesn't mean that you weren't one of the best I've ever seen. And not to be a downer, but it doesn't seem like you got much else going on at the moment now, am I right?

(Thinking) Yea, your right, but still, I need a team, and I don't have connections like you do.

Leave that to me MC, I'll give Rusty a call, he can make things happen. Expect a call back from me or him tonight.

Alright Danny, thanks.

Anything for a friend Marcus you know that. Take care of yourself alright?

Yupp, thanks again, bye.

Marcus hung up the phone and slowly got into his car thinking about everything. He put his keys into the ignition and as he began to leave he saw the most beautiful girl entering the hotel. She didn't see him, but Marcus, definitely saw her.
