EPISODE TWO: Twins Apart

Emma hurried up the steps to the casino. At least she was in uniform so she didn't have to worry about getting changed. She just had to worry about the fact that, despite her resolve to get to bed early after the wedding, she was arriving only three minutes before her shift was due to start. And she had the boss from hell.

"Cutting it fine, girl,"Lexi remarked as Emma came in the door.

Emma looked round wildly, anticipating seeing a dark-skinned fury bearing down on her. "Where am I..?"

"You're on the wheel with me today. Just stand next to me and act like you've been there a long time."

"Emma Whitehorse!"interrupted an angry voice and Emma turned round to face her boss and one-time high school nemesis…Nisha Randall.

Emma had barely spoken to Nisha since that time, many years ago, when she'd posed as Sutton and inherited her feud with Nisha. But Emma's chances of finishing college had been scuppered somewhat by the need to pose as Sutton again while her twin was helping Mads look for Eduardo, then by the arrival of her son Eddie. So when Eddie had got old enough to be left, she'd looked for a job…and found Nisha, who now owned the casino. Surprisingly, she'd been happy to give her the job. Possibly, it had something to do with the fact that she now got to boss her around.

"Nisha,"Emma greeted her politely.

"You late again?"

Emma checked her watch. "No, actually, I'm just on time."

Nisha examined the dial and decided to let the point drop. "You heard that you're on wheel with Lexi?"

"I already filled her in, Miss Randall,"Lexi answered, her tone as casual as ever.

Nisha looked at them scornfully. "Given that you two grew up in a gambling town, you should know what you're doing. All right, get to it."

Sutton looked around the flat she shared with Dan. It had become home since she moved in, and certainly beat the trailer that he had finally agreed to get rid of when they decided to get a place together, but being unable to leave it was another thing. "I can't believe we're stuck here,"she complained.

Dan was sat in one of the lounge room chairs, leafing through papers and leaving her free to pace the room on her own. He looked up briefly. "It's the safest place. Everyone thinks that I'm helping out with a case in Colorado and you're there with me. We didn't even give Ethan and Emma keys, so no-one's going to disturb us."

"I know but when we first came up with this plan I thought it would involve a lot more sneaking and a lot less planning. I ran lying games for years and all of them were a lot more interesting than this."

"This isn't just another lying game. There's a lot at stake here. And given that we're pulling the wool over the eyes of everyone in our family, we need to get it right."

Sutton thought this over. "So a bit of recon's in order?"

"Sutton, I said we need to get it right."

"Trust me, I'll get it right." Sutton disappeared into her room for a moment. When she reappeared, she had with her a pair of sunglasses, a hat and a blonde curly wig. "I had a lot of practise at sneaking around town when everyone thought Emma was me. This'll be a cinch."

Laurel was balancing Eddie on her knee. They were in the flat that Laurel shared with Jordan. "Have you got a smile for your Auntie Laurel?"she asked him.

Ethan was standing near the door with Jordan, fretting about going out. "Are you sure you're going to be okay with him?"he asked.

Laurel shot him an exasperated look. "Will you two get out already?"

"She's looked after him before,"Jordan reminded his friend.

Ethan still didn't seem mollified. "I can call Kristen."

"Don't you dare,"Laurel warned him. "Mum and Peter haven't had a lot of alone time since they got married, that's why I said I'd babysit."

"But haven't you got other things to do?"

"I'm not due in college today, I can sort out my assignments from home. Now buzz!"

"We have got to be in work, dude,"Jordan added.

Ethan sighed. He went over and kissed his son on the top of the head. "See you later, champ." He and Jordan left.

Laurel gave Eddie a sympathetic look. "I know. He worries too much."

Emma glanced at the crowd surrounding the roulette wheel. "Final bets now!" She glanced at Lexi, who was making a note of the final placement of the chips. When she got the nod of readiness, she pressed the button to start the wheel going and looked at where it came to a stop. "Red Seven!"

A few people collected their chips, most walked away disappointed. Nisha came over. "Emma, Lexi, can I have a word?"

"This'll be good,"Lexi muttered under her breath.

"Is something the matter?"Emma asked, loud enough for Nisha to hear.

Nisha ignored the question. "How do you two feel like earning some extra cash?"

Emma was cautious about the enquiry. And judging from what she said next, so was Lexi. "What would we have to do?"

"Nothing special. I just need someone to work evenings, maybe help me close up. Overtime pay."

Emma glanced at Lexi, who nodded. "Sure,"Emma agreed.

Nisha gave a curt nod. "I'll let you know when."

If Emma had paid more attention to the crowd around her, she'd have noticed a young woman who, aside from her hair, hat and sunglasses, was her exact double. "We'll see about that,"Sutton muttered darkly.
