Shalimar was the first to wake up out of the three of them. It was now 9:45 and she was still tired. She got up and headed to the kitchen, and soon Brennan and Lexa joined her for a late Breakfast.
"Hey where is Jesse?" Brennan asked as he poured some coffee.
"He is properly still asleep." Shalimar replied
"Well someone should go wake him up." Brennan and Shalimar looked at each other and then back to what they were doing.
"Well don't jump all at once." Lexa said a bit annoyed. "Fine I'll do it. Lazy asses." She said under her breath as she walked down to his room. But as she walked passed her door, she saw the note that he had left. "He's on vacation." Lexa said as she placed the note on the coffee table.
"He's what?" Brennan picked up the note and started to read it out loud. "I am off on my long awaited vacation see you will next week-Jesse."
"Now I remember he did say that he was going to take some time off."
"He can't do this...he can't leave me here alone with you guys for a week."
"Did he say where he was going Shal?" Lexa asked totally ignoring Brennan.
"Nope."
"What shall we do with this week free of Jesse?" Brennan asked hoping that they would say clubbing; even through he would rather want to be where Jesse was then here.
"Well, Lexa and I have been planning a time to hit the malls. So I guess we can do that now."
"Shal, do you want to leave now?"
"That sounds like a plan." Shalimar said as she got up from the table.
"I'll come too." Brennan cut in.
"You can't. Someone has to stay here to make sure nothing happens." Lexa told him as she got up and put her dishes in the sink.
"What? That's not fair."
"Life isn't fair, because if it was, I'll be on vacation myself." Lexa left Brennan before he could say anything more.

A yellow taxi cab pulled up at the entrance of the Montecito. Mike walked up and opened the door as a man in his mid fifties climbed out of the car.
"Do you have any bags with you sir?" Mike asked.
"No, not this time." The man said with a kind smile.
"Well then enjoy your stay at the Montecito." The man walked through the big double doors, passing the check in counters and headed straight to the casino floor. He wasn't there to play any games, but in search for someone that he knew was staying here. But though the sea of faces, he could not even get a good look on anyone. SO he headed deeper into the heart of the Grand building.
Jesse put his room key in his back pocket as he shut the door to his suite and headed down to the main floor. He went over to the bar and ordered a beer, then he walked around the different tables deciding which one to gamble on. Just then Sam came walking up towards him.
"Hey Jesse win any money yet?"
"No I am still deciding what to play."
"I can open the V.I.P. section fro you if you like."
"That is okay Sam, believe it or not, I don't really care for the rich life. The only time I even act like I have money is on my vacation. But I never go over board with it."
"Wow, that's the first time I heard that a person with million, lives a normal life."
"Well your new, so it will take time to fully understand me. Now I'm going to win some money now, see ya Sam." Jesse said with one of his million dollars smiles, leaving Sam a bit confused.
"Nessa...do you know that man over there?" Sam said pointing to Jesse who started playing blackjack.
"Jesse Kilmartin, he comes ablest once a year for a week. Plays thousands at ever table he at, but never dresses, talks or acts like a millionaire." Nessa informed
"Really?"
"Yep, but he hasn't been here for awhile."
"Thanks Nessa." Sam said walking away as she answered her phone.
It had been a few hours, and Jesse had won a couple of thousand but at the same time lost a little bit of money. But he really didn't care - he was having fun. Jesse was heading over to get another drink when he ran into Ed Deline.
"Hey Ed long time no see." Jesse said shaking hands with the President of Operations.
"It has been awhile, we thought you found another casino."
"Never, the Montecito is the only place I'll stay."
"Well we love to have you here. Have you had dinner?"
"Um no, I haven't."
"Good. Have you been to Mystique yet?" Ed asked as they started walking.
"What is that?"
"Well it use to be Carinthina, before Delinda took over."
"Carinthina? Isn't that Gunther's restaurant where everyone wears lederhosen?"
"Yes it was. Gunther still owns and cooks there, but Delinda make it more...I guess you could say...more Vegas style."
"No more lederhosen?"
"Not any more."
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's eat."
Half and hour later
"If you don't mind me asking, why have you been gone for such a long time?"
"A lot of stuff has happened in the last couple of years. A friend and a father figure died, change of job description new boss and a new partner will make a person forget about vacation time."
"All of that happened in a few years." Ed said a bit surprise but at the same time being in the C.I.A. he knew what Jesse was saying.
"No, to be quite honest, all of it happened in 42 hours. But it has taken a few years to get use to all the changes."
"Well Karen was disappointed that she did not get to see you before she left."
"I was just going to ask about her. What happened?"
"Got married to one of her whales, then a few months after she left we got Sam."
"So how is life in the Surveillance room?"
"Let's just say it's never boring." Just then Ed's phone started to ring. "What is it Danny?" He said a bit annoyed.
"There is a man you wants to talk to you. He claims to be an old C.I.A. friend."
"Okay take him to my office and I'll be there shortly. Sorry about this Jesse, but I have a meeting I need to get to." Ed said as he got up form his seat.
"That is okay Ed; I know you're a busy man ."
"I'll see you around later." Ed said placing a hand o Jesse's shoulder before he headed off.
