There is a tall woman in police uniform and her hair up in a tied bun. She takes one last look at herself before walking to desk pick up her keys along with her hat and walked out the door, in the background through the window you could see a man slipping on his suit cost, his a little out of forces but soon we see him picking up his keys and phone and his out the door. Making his way to the front door his soon stand outside and look around, it a beautiful blue sky morning.
The Tall handsome man could see that his neighbor and best friend Rosemary Finn but everyone called her Rosie, they had grown up together, join the military together and she was the only one he could really talk to when he got back from his first tour. She knew what it was like to get up in the morning go to work not known if you live to see the other sunrise. She knew what it likes to walk the street of little town in Iraq see the people, children playing one moment and the next the come at you just to blow themselves up. He had some close calls that first tour. If fact, he should be six feet underground if it was not for his team commander. The only one who knew was Rosie he didn't even talk about it with Ed his boss and mentor at the Montecito.
He waved at Rosie who gives him a little wave has she take the last bite of her toast. He watches her unlock the Jeep and get into the driver seat placing her hat and phone on the passenger seat. He walked over to his car, a yellow 1968 Chevrolet Camaro convertible with two black racing stripes on the hood of the car, that use to belong to his mother but when she passed the way he had inherited. He driving along to Vegas strip towards the Montecito and the music blasting and with the top down. He pulls into his parking space, through the keys to Mike as he walks closer to the man.
"what's happening Mike," he asked his friend
"Ed just found out Delinda is in town, he heading over to suit now" in a low voice he whispered so no one else could hear. "she got some guy with her, man". Every man in town know big Ed and what he is cable off, everyone man knows that you ever touch what is his that is if one valve one's life and especially his daughter. Sleeping with her will get you a death sentence.
"no, Ed will have the guy Balls" he smiled at his friend.
"you think Mr. D will kill the guy slowly or quick?" Mike asked
His friend smiled the two of them look at each other said "slowly" when cell Danny's phone start to ring.
"McCoy," he answered the call it was Mitch calling him about card counter. gives the keys to Mike Cannon the only valet that his trust to take good care of his car.
Dean, Ed go-to guy when you want some kick out of the resort. Danny did not know much about the guy only that Dean and Ed worked together in the CIA, Central Intelligence, in fact, Dean is the reason why Ed asked out his wife Jillian when there were in England for an assignment. The old man and Danny have stuck a working relationship, he could have told Danny a few days ago that he could see him heading up the Security and Surveillance before the year through when Ed get the promoted to the President of Operations that everyone was walking about.
Security and Surveillance, the eyes and ears of the resort. There a young guy with Dean and Danny could help himself. "Hey Dean, so this him, this the guy that slept with Deline" Danny eyes the young valet up and down. His uniform name tag says Tommy, his Tommy Wineman the young of five kids Mr. and Mrs. Wineman. He is abuse drunk and she works the at KK has a dancer when she is not hooking up with Johns.
Dean said "Mr. Deline took in, took his wine that this is how you repay him by sleeping with his daughter" Danny sure that Ed is watching and listen in the Surveillance room.
Danny said "he going to hurt you, hurt you really bad for this kid"
Dean said "most likely kill you and bury you alive in the desert" That how they used to take care of problems when the mob ran Vegas.
Tommy said "I did not know she was Mr. Deline daughter. The photo Mr. Deline keeps on his desk she looks about four"
Dean said "that is the way he likes to remember her"
Tommy said "I can see why"
Danny lifted an eyebrow at the guy. Before slapping him on back saying "nice known ya"
Dean and Danny make the way to the Surveillance room where Mitch is waiting and informed them that got a Bum in bunny slippers on 24 his head to the cashier. Bunny Slippers just cashed in his social security cheque. $26 of chips.
Ed said "sent him to pit three"
Danny asked, "who on the floor?"
Dean replied "the ice queen"
Ed said "tell Nessa about the card cheat. Nobody moves until we find his accomplice or accomplices" He turn to Danny and adds "we have other problem, it seem that we lost one of our wales, find him do whatever you need to do just find him."
Dean said "Mr. D they just arrived"
Ed said, "Mr. and Mrs. Johnson it is their 30th wedding anniversary find out what Mrs. J want for the anniversary and get it to Danny."
Danny always gets the tough jobs, that because he was born and raised in the city. Most people are from someplace else. Because his am from Vegas he knows everybody and everybody knows him. even the hookers at the end of the bar. Mary Connell the first girl that Danny ever saved, she sees him has some kind of white knight. Mary and Danny have been friends since they were in second grade.
He asked, "we lost a Wale is he one of yours?"
Mary said "no, but I know a girl who dates him when he in town talk to her"
Danny said "okay"
Mary sees her Wale and tells Danny "got to go, his my date for the night"
Danny has to remind himself that she is not a hooker, Mary is the special events director. Danny next stop is the pits. Nessa Holt the ice queen the best pit boss in Vegas, even the world, no one really knows what her story is, but she connects to Big ed somehow. Too young to been the CIA with him but then again knowing Ed, he most like recruited her when she was a kid.
She tells him "his into the casino 100 large, his bumping his bet like know what coming, Danny" she updates him on the card cheat.
Danny said, "maybe he does, do you think the bum is working with the cheater?"
Nessa said "no Mr' Bunny slippers are dance with lady luck, but someone definitely working chest"
Danny asked, "have you, consider an inside job?"
Nessa said "I change the Dealer on him four times already, and change the cards three times"
Danny said "just play it straight our people are everywhere"
Danny shows her print out of missing Wale and Nessa informs him "plays 50 large hands, three hands at a time, wear a diamond horseshoe ring his pinky, take out of his shirt pocket and put on the table before the first card is a dealt take off and puts it back when he is done. It his good luck piece. You lost him did you, Danny"
Danny said "not me personal"
Nessa said "check with the butler right rollers suit, VIP that where he sleep when his in town"
That how Danny found himself at the VIP suit for high rollers talking with the old man. The Butler was not much help the only lead was that he Wale like 1990 bottle of Comtes De Champagne Taittinger. It Mike who gave Danny the most helpful clue, the Wale has a name now, Mr. Harmon he also told Danny something about him that help to track the wale down brings him back to Montecito. Mike told Danny where to find Mr. Harmon it seems the wale like one dancer at the join called new review at the crazy horse and his favorite lady is on at midnight.
Danny notes that one of the valets was playing more game on his PDA then doing work he almost ran Danny over. When Mike yells at him to move his jets. Danny also told Mike to keep his ear open try to work out what Mrs. J want for an Anniversary present.
Crazy horse Danny found out that the wale gave way his lucky ring that only mean that he ran out of luck he made a call to IRA a friend Agent Walker, want to know if that was anyone dropping big money around vegas. In vegas, even the IRA is 24/7.
All he got out the dancer was that Harmon got into black limo without any marking.
He called Ed tells him "he played at the other Casino last night and lost big, I just try to find out which casino"
Ed tells him "bunny feet is up million and he does not even look at his cards he just wants to dust"
Danny walked in say "he on hell of a roll"
Ed said "his not my only problem I picked up an unauthorized frequency"
Danny said, "could be cheaters accomplice?"
Ed said "no could be, it is, his close I am trying to locate him but it scrambled"
Danny said, "how much is he up?"
Ed said "750,000"
Danny said "how hell is he doing that"
Ed said "I don't know yet"
Danny said "let me run a facial through the black book" the black book use to be a book now it computerized global network, it allows us to casino known worldwide track cheaters, more importantly, you can ID a cheater with just part of face feature, dark glass and hat are the bitch.
Danny got a call and about the missing Wale just has Ed located the sign it come from outside. Mary informed him that about his missing Wale with the information that he was already given he know the location of the wale.
Bunny feet get VIP suit with chef make him Mc and cheese, Mary take him the room. Danny called Ed tell him that he could the Wale only to be told that him to do whatever it take to bring the wale back. Danny runs it to some from his pass the only girl he had the one-night stand with only because she never return his calls and after three seconds into the conversation Danny was glad that she ever return the any of his calls. But when he found Mr. Hermon he found out that Sam and a one-night stand was the same person. She used him, So he hair her to work at the Montecito at 30% 120 days.
The Secon time that day the same Valet from before was to be busy playing the game that he almost ran Danny over with the car. Danny call Ed tells him "I got the wale and his checking in now, but there is the little problem, I had to hire the host 30% bump and give her suit to live" When Ed asked you what Danny remind him that he told him that he should do whatever it takes.
Danny and Sam are told to get the bum our of Mr. Harmon suit and when she get a call Danny see the camera on her PDA and remember the valet that almost ran him down twice because he was too busy playing game or that whatever else thought he was doing he remember what Ed told him about the signal that came the outside. When Same had to use the wizard he also remembers that the valet never did which only could mean that he was watching some a video feed that was coming from inside the casino. So he tells sam the get the dum out and he leaves the room.
Danny goes outside and asked Mike "Mikey a Valet, in his mid-20s play game on PDA, is he still working"
Mike said "he asked if he could pick up extra shift said he need the money"
Just has Danny comes up behind the guy he hears what sound like the kid say An of spades. He place on hand on the kid left should that much the kid in the middle of his back. That take the kid to side down on the bench and take his PDA and see the feed when the kid moves he elbow the kid and take the device then take him inside. Call Ed tells him that he has the cheater accomplice. Ed tells them Danny got the key and that Ed has the eye, he comes up with play to get the money back tell Danny that cheater is about going all in. Danny grandly understands what Ed means.
While he waits for the play Danny call the police and Ed in from to the cheater that he has to close the table. He and the own Mr shape the own have a hold conversation between him and Ed with out words. Hen Mr. Shape approve of the plan and the table told us to change so the cheater can go all in unknown that his accomplice was caught by Danny.
Nessa take over the table deal the last hand, while Danny has the accomplice at the entries at the hotel. The cheater has 5 and 7 he needs a 8 to win and Dealer has a 10. The cheater ask for hit and Nessa pulls the other card and it turns out to be a 10 make the cheater loss. He said it impossible.
That when Danny coming him and out the cheater to all saying "actually it not, he got a mini remote implant in his finger which is feeding his partner the valet tell him every card that been dealt through an ear piece bulid into his glasses and I just had his Accomplice tell him the worng card"
Nessa said "it not illegal to cheat a cheater"
Ed said "take this two clown, march them around to see make sure everybody see that they are no cheating in my ceasino"
Danny gose up to see how Sam is doing with the dum and he finds out that the same side in down to the ceasino and so Danny gose back to the floor to find him on his way he found Mr and mrs Johnson fighting and he steps in to say "you know my father would have given anything to spand 30 years with my mother anything at all. But ever got chance, instead, he spends the last 20 year alone now I sure the 30 years that you two spand together were hell of lot better than the 20 years he spends alone"
Has he spet way he heard that MRs. J want to go to Monte Carlo for they anniversary and so he give them dinner that the best Franish restaurant. Two of his three assiment for the day were taken care the only one left was bunny feet. The man that blow a burry in his face the bum, When he find Nessa he told the dum has down to 40,000 from 2 million He told the Nessa to close the table. Once the table was closed, Danny Sit down next to the Bunny feet and talk to him. Danny said "40,000 is a lot of money, I am telling Walk way, Just walk way" he keep his eye connet with the guy until the guy agreed.
Danny was walking out with Ed, his been up for 36 house plus and he could hit the bed been out. But there was BBQ at Mike when Rosie and her partner Officer Lusi outside of the Casino with the card cheat and his accomplice place them both in the back of the police bus. Rosie had an advice in hand when Mike invited them over to the BBQ too. The last thing Danny remember was he has set down on one of pool sofa lay his head back on head rest and closed his eyes with Rosie on one side and Mary one the other side of him he left a sleep.
