"it was good, we are doing another scene tomorrow here and then I think thats all were doing for the casino" he told her.

"ok well do you need anything" Piper smiled.

"no not really... well" he grinned.

"what" she began to frown.

"would you like dinner tonight" He asked.

"I'm married" she showed hi her finger.

"no, not like that, just friendly chat" his eyes grew.

"no" she walks of and Delinda walks past her.

"hey John" she leaned against a slot machine

"hey Delinda, how are you" he sat down at a slot machine and inserted a coin.

"am good... bored... but good" she smiled.

Maria entered the Montecito and looked around for Mike, he saw her on surveilance and went down to meet her. "hey you get anything"

"No sorry Mike, I tried I really did, I spent all day" she sat down "I'm tired"

"look you go home for now" Mike sat next to her.

"I cant, I moved to LA quite abit ago and dont have anywhere to go here" she put her head down on the table.

"I'll get you a suite" he stood up and walked over to reception.

Danny walked over to Delinda "hey babe" he kisses her on the cheek "hey Mr McClarren" he shakes his hand.

"hey, call me John" he puts a coin in the slot machine.

"you want me to get you a blackjack table or anything" Danny asked.

"No thanks... me and Delinda was just going to go out for a meal... is that ok" he pressed a button on the slot.

"Nah, I get of at nine" Danny puts his hands in his pockets.

"we'll wait" he turned around in the seat.

"no, you go" Danny was just about to walk of.

"bye honey" she kisses him, Danny walks up to surveilance and sits down.

"you tired" Mitch turns around in his wheelchair.

"yeah, abit" Danny puts his hands over his face and Cooper enters.

"tired Danny" Cooper puts his hands in his pockets.

"What... oh, no... no, I was just getting back to work" Danny stood up.

"you can go home now Danny" Cooper walks over to a monitor.

"what... umm, ok... see you tomorrow" Danny exits the surveilance room.

"do you no this girl Mike is with" Cooper leans closer to the monitor.

"No" Mitch looks at the Monitor "why, has she done something"

"Not yet" Cooper leaves the room.

Mike went to room 2134 and Knocked on the door and waitied for an answer, Mike waited and then knocked again and the door suddenly opened. "Hi, Mike" Maria leaned against the door.

"sorry, did I wake you" Mike looked in the room but she closed it slighty.

"No, am fine, couldnt sleep" she looked at him and then looked away quickly.

"are you hiding something" Mike tried opening the door but she forced it shut.

"oh, you idiot, you locked me out of my room" she frowned and turned around trying opening the door and then Cooper came over.

"Is there a problem" Cooper looked at her.

"Coo... I, what... who are you" she started breathing heavily.

"would you open the door for her Mike and take a look inside please, come on... lets walk" Cooper started heading down the Corridor and she followed "you dont have to pretend in front of him that you dont no me... and do you remember what I said" Cooper looked at her and she looked away.

"look, I didnt no you was here, how long you staying, are you here for Philip" She stopped and looked at her room again.

"I own the place, I'm the new owner of the Montecito" Cooper smiled.

"are you serious, look I didnt no you was here I swear" she started biting her lip.

"but you new Philip was going to be here" He put his hands in his pockets "I'll give you till tomorrow to leave the Montecito and I want you to stop making Mike believe Philip has something to do with your crimes"

"They are not my crimes, I didnt do anything I swear... I was framed" she looked at her room and Mike came out.

"theres nothing there, was there supposed to be... what was I looking for" Mike looked at them both.

"Nothing, I'll see you tomorrow Mike, you can go home" Cooper walked over to the lift and pressed the button.

"whats going on" Mike tilted his head and his eyes grew wider.

"nothing... just he believes he saw me kill, your best friend" she looked at Cooper get in the Elevator and press the button and watched the doors close.
