A/N Thanks for the reviews! I really appreciate it.
Five Years Later
Ed Deline, president of the Las Vegas Montecito casino, strode purposefully across the gaming floor. He was trailed by the head of security and surveillance, Danny McCoy. Danny had risen quickly in the organization, being only 24. But his special operations training in the Marines had prepared him for the position. He was Ed's second in command, but even he was confused by the presence of dozens of brides at the slot machines.
"Ed, what's going on?"
Ed turned to him, "Oh, didn't you hear? We're doing a 'Weekend of Weddings.'"
"Whose idea was that?" Danny asked incredulously.
"That new Special Events Director I hired. See, they pay 3000 for a suite, champagne brunch, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and the wedding; and then, since they got married at the Montecito, they come back for anniversaries and we come off as a great place for weddings."
"Wait. New Special Events Director? What happened to Sam?"
"She decided she'd be happier as a casino host at the Palms."
"Where was I when this happened?"
"I don't know. Making out with my daughter, maybe?"
"Hey! Delinda and I broke up months ago and she's way too busy with the new club anyway."
Ed glared at Danny, and then kept walking to the security elevators. "Anyway, this new girl's great. She's got a degree in hospitality and hotel management."
"Sounds like she's after your job. Where'd she go to school?"
"Somewhere in Washington. But she's a local."
"Maybe I know her then." They stepped into the elevator. "What's her name?"
"Mary." The elevator doors closed.
