Perennial

Chapter Three

Moving inside. Olivia was remembering what Captain Wong had to say with being careful right now. If the suspect had gotten wind that two of the eye witnesses on the beach were police officers. They will certainly be going after them and wipe them out.

Olivia and and her husband took the elevator upstairs to the buffet noticing the slot machines just outside. She had mention to her husband wanting to continue on with playing the slots.

"So does this mean you want me to check out whether the dealer is still working at the table I was winning?" He had to smirk at the question...

"Now what do you think my darling Elliot?" She stated with smelling of the seafood inside with the waitress coming over to seat them. "Please head for the buffet as many times as you like for one special price." The young Korean waitress walked away to head for the register.

"Thank you, we will." Olivia had said with telling Elliot that she was going up first to fill up her plate while he waited as per her request. He was watching the type of people sitting down at the tables eating with their plates filled.

After she was done to let her husband pick his choices. She started to think about Amanda and Dominick being in California for their two weeks honeymoon... San Francisco was a beautiful sight with the clear beaches with no garbage on them as compared to the tri-state region.

Dominick was coming out of the beautiful water with the beaches semi pack with the early morning crowds, heat and humidity. He was loving the swimming even though Amanda wasn't really a fan with hating to have her feet touch the bottom and feeling any type of fish, crab or even on occasion a shark.

She was laying on her stomach wearing a two piece multi colored suit with plenty of suntan lotion. So far she was loving the honeymoon coming to San Francisco. Her husband Dominick had friends living out here. And while they were away working for two weeks for the military to use their condo as a favor. The condo was just beautiful being two levels with a small pool and sauna inside with a large entertainment section.

Dominick came over to throw some sand on his wife as she protested. "Hey! What do you think you're doing Dominick?"

"Playing with my wife Amanda. Since we have been here most of the morning. How about we get dressed to go out for lunch before driving on down to the casino that I spoke about. Maybe we will get lucky with winning since it's been awhile since I have bet on anything other than the ponies." He stated even though she had no idea what she was talking about.

"Ponies? What did you mean?" She had gotten up from the blanket to brush off the sand.

"Horse racing Amanda. Even though I was placing bets at Off Track Betting offices. Are you interested in eating and the casino?"

"Off course I am Dominick. Shall we go get dressed first. I could use a shower with all this suntan lotion." She said with her husband whispering her ear the following.

"I could always wash your back and get rid of the lotion and give you a surprise." He stated with not going into further detail about the surprise.

"Oh really! A surprise. I always have loved surprises over the years. I can't wait." She said with packing up their things...

After eating their heads off with the buffet. They waited for the bill to arrive. And once it did. Olivia decided to play the machines outside. While Elliot went downstairs to the blackjack table he had won earlier and to check whether it was the same man on the beach shooting the two.

She gave him a kiss with watching he take the elevator down instead of the stairs. She was able to find a machine for which one of the older ladies sitting decided to leave. She sat down on the two cent machine nothing to do with the Blazing Sevens. It was all lucky sevens five across for which the percentage of winning was harder.

She had placed a $20.00 dollar crisp bill that went into the machine as she decided to play $3.00 with pressing the button. All of a sudden the bells had gone off with security coming over quickly. She asked the following as the bells continued ..."How much have I won for $3.00?"

The security manager said that she won $50,000 to really shock her after the older woman had just gotten off the machine. And here she puts $3.00 in and she wins. She waited for them to asked for her social security card and mostly the proper I.D. After a few moments they headed for the redemption booth to receive her funds with the ticket taken out from the machine to be given to the cashier inside.

She will be there 30 minutes with the young cashier asking on how she wanted the funds. She stated the following after her I.D. was verified. "I want $30,000 into this debit card with the account number. $10,000 into this saving account and $10,000 cash with $1,000 dollar bills. She was going to buy her husband a special gift once they leave the casino to go shopping. After everything was said and done with all funds and into an envelope. She was now ready to leave to heads downstairs to meet up with her husband.

The casino was busy and she needed to be careful with anyone wishing to rob her purse. However she had bumped into someone when she noticed a small tiger claw on the person's neck dressed in a black leather jacket maybe part of a gang. She had to look back again with seeing that he was wearing a earring in his right ear along with the tattoo. He had black hair but he was five feet eight inches wearing black boots. She had to speak to Elliot about it besides her winnings.

He came looking for her with finishing up his card playing. The card dealer was replaced with some one older for him to be taking a break. He didn't lose not did he win all that much. Since he wasn't cheating nor the card dealer.

"There you are sweetie. How did it go?" He kissed her on her moist lips before she was able to answer.

"I won $50,000 dollars Elliot and I am going to buy you something that is needed very badly. Otherwise I will like to say that I seen another one of those Tiger claw tattoo on a much shorter man wearing a black leather jacket, a earring in his right ear and black boots. He also had black hair to boot Elliot. I just can't be there are other males around here with the same tattoo? Maybe Captain Wong just might know something about this possible club?"

"Maybe. However I am very interested in this special item you're going to buy me Olivia." He raised his eyebrow like Mr. Spock from the original Star Trek.
