Author's Note 2: Oh, also thanks to those who reviewed on my other story THANKS!

Samantha Jane Marquez held back a yawn as she quickly walked into the High Limit Blackjack Tables. She spotted her whale for the weekend and went towards him. "Hello Mr. Saad, how are you doing?"

The Arab decent man shook his head sadly "No good, Im down 2 million"

"Aw, Mr. Saad" Sam spoke with sympathy, while ecstatic inside "Is there anything I can get you?"

The middle aged man shook his head "Im alright, It's pretty late,Im gonna go rest I have an early flight tommorow." he spoke in his heavy accent getting off his chair. Sam pushed him back down "No, Mr. Saad it's your last night in Vegas why not try and get some of your money back" She gestured to Nessa Holt the pit boss "Hey Nessa, can we please get another dealer to the table, Mr. Saad isn't having any luck with this one."

Nessa smiled politely "Of course"

Mr. Saad looked at Sam "No, Sam really Im alright I've had enough of gambling, my wife is gonna kill me if I spend anymore" He chuckled

Sam plastered a smile on her face, while a little dissapointed "Alright Mr.Saad, I don't want to get you in trouble with your wife."

Mr. Saad chuckled and kissed her cheek "Thank you Sam for a wonderful weekend, Ill come back soon."

Sam let out a sigh when he left, as she collapsed onto a chair at the empty blackjack table. Nessa walked over to her "Rough weekend?"

"Yup I lost two whales including Mr. Saad"

Nessa was confused "Didn't he say he was coming back?" Sam nodded her head "Well, yeah but he lost two million straight, in gambling you've got to win a little and lose a little to have fun, and Mr. Saad sure didn't look like he was having fun"

Nessa chuckled "Well im off in fifteen, you wanna go get a drink later with me, Mary and Delinda" Sam was tired and surprisingly in no mood to party. "No, Im good, got to get some sleep" Sam got off the blackjack table "Well see you tommorow, and make sure you guys don't have too much fun without me"

Nessa laughed "See ya"

Danny and Mike just finished their shifts and were discussing what they were gonna do tonight "So do you wanna go get a drink with Nessa, Mary, and Delinda?" Mike asked

Danny was about to object, "Oops excuse me.. and Sam" Mike chuckled

Danny laughed "Count me in."

"I knew that would do it." Danny has had a little crush on Sam, he admired her independence and feistiness and she was hot. Only Mike knew that Danny had a 'thing' for Sam, and he wanted to keep it that way until he knew the Sam felt the same way towards him and he hasn't gotten anything from her. Well except flirting here and there and bickering, but he knew that she did that with a lot of people.

Sam spotted Danny and Mike in the lobby and walked towards them "Hello boys, how was your shift?"

"Alright" Mike answered

"What about you?" Danny asked noticing the tiredness in her voice "OK.." Sam paused yawning "..not much excitement"

"You seem beat, you sure your up for tonight?" Danny asked.

"Tonight?..oh you mean going out with Mary and Delinda, nah Im not going, have to catch up with my sleep."

Danny gave Mike the evil eye, while Sam spoke "Well Im gonna head on upstairs, see you guys tommorow."

Danny watched Sam head to the lobby's receptionist desk "I though you said she was going?" he whispered to Mike as they started walking away from the lobby

"Well I assumed she was, did I get your hopes up?" Mike teased

Danny chuckled sarcasticly and was about to respond when a man interrupted them "Excuse me, do you guys work here?"

Mike and Danny nodded their heads "Can we help you?"

"Well, I hope so, does a Samantha Jane Marquez work here?"

Mike answered first "She sure does, she's just inside the lobby, you might be able to catch her before she leaves"

Danny took in the man's appearance; he was about the 5'11 with pierce blue eyes and pitch black hair, he had a nice build and looked like he was in his late 20's. The man was dressed casual and very handsome and looked too young to be one of Sam's clients "You know what, we can take you to her." Danny spoke getting a weird vibe from him.

"Oh that would be great, thanks a lot"

Mike noticed some baggage the man was carrying, "So are you staying here at the Montecito?"

"Well, Im not quite sure yet" the man hesitated

Danny and Mike gave each other a look "This your first time in Vegas?" Danny asked as they reached the lobby

The mysterious man was about to respond when he spotted Sam with her back towards them. Danny saw a huge smile spread on his lips "Sammie Jane Marquez" he yelled.

Sam froze as she heard her nickname that only her parents used and- "JESSIE!" Sam yelled as she dropped her mail and ran towards him.

Jessie dropped his luggage and took Sam into a huge hug and lifted her off of the floor. Sam wrapped her legs around his waist and hugged him tightly, as if holding on for dear life.

Danny and Mike watched the scene unfold with curiosity. Danny couldn't help but feel a spark of jealousy. Mike and Danny stood there starting to blend in with the audience starting to form. They both looked at each other "Who the hell is that?" they spoke in unison.
