Chapter Eleven
Hired Guns and Fun
    Across the casino, a beautiful blonde bombshell walks. As she sways her hips, every man's eyes are on her. Nina is used to this kind of attention. She has received it since high school and has used it to make herself very successful. Deliberately slow, she walks towards the blackjack table. Her long platinum hair flows behind her as she eyes her target. She walks up to Jack and touches her on the shoulder. "So you are the big winner?" she purrs into his ear. He turns see who is there and notices a gorgeous blonde. He looks at her sexy face with a big smile of perfectly white teeth and sweet face. He looks at her eyes that have a way of melting even the strongest man. He then looks down at her figure, which is barely concealed in her tiny black dress. He looks at the plunging neck line and immediately is drawn to her ample cleavage. He then sees her shapely legs, the kind of legs that would make even the most pious of men give up their celibacy. "Hello, do I know you?" he asks as he begins reading her mind. She is thinking <Why are the cheaters always the ugliest men? I am going to charge him extra for this one. Just once I wish Brad Pitt would cheat here.> While her mind says one thing, her mouth says quite another. "I was sent here to make sure your stay is enjoyable." she says with a big smile on her red lipsticked mouth. "I am sure you can make it enjoyable." She seductively licks her lips as she winks at him. In her mind she is thinking <When I get done with this guy, he will tell me every secret he ever had.> She then puts out her hand and says "Let me show you to your new room." He grabs her hand and is impressed at how soft it is. This girl obviously knows the best moisturizers. He is used to the hookers who are rougher and have little class. They are all about getting you done so they can move onto the next john. He is looking forward to a woman who not only has a full mouth of teeth, but looks like she walked off a soap opera or a beauty pageant. He grabs his chips and throws a hundred dollar chip to the dealer. "Here is for the good luck you brought me." The dealer thanks him as he walks off with Nina on his arm. Every man in the casino stops and watches as they walk off. They are all jealous that he is walking off with her, but they are more watching her walk off. The little black dress enhances her shapely behind and she knows how to move it.

    Nina opens a double door to reveal a giant room. Jack walks in and is awestruck. The room is one of their penthouse suites and is usually reserved for whales, the high rollers. "Someone really wants me to stay here." he says as he looks around at the room with the big screen plasma television on the wall and the fireplace. He looks around at the detailed wood work and the very large and comfortable bed in the adjacent bedroom. He walks over and rubs his hands over the satin sheets and is impressed with how soft they are. He is used to sleeping on the cheapest of blankets, when he even has that. Many a night was spent wrapped in newspapers. "Exactly how much is this going to cost me?" he asks. He knows he is being comped, but he wants to play up the part. She smiles as she walks over to him and takes his hand in hers. "The casino is very impressed with your lucky streak and they want you to stay. This room and dinner tonight are all on the house. I am here to make sure you enjoy yourself." He quickly reads her mind as she thinks <definitely his first time in a penthouse suite. I will have this man cracked with little effort.> He smiles as he reads her mind. He then thinks to himself how the casino must suspect something to be making such a fuss over him. There were plenty of people who were winning and losing allot more than him. He was a medium fish in a big pond, hardly worth fussing over. He thought if he kept it low key, he could avoid stuff like this. But if the casino wants to go through the trouble, he will accommodate them. "If you don't mind, I have to go back to my other room and get my stuff." She holds his hands tight and says "Just stay here with me. I will have someone bring them over." He lets go of her hands and says "I would rather carry them myself." This gets her thinking <He is hiding something. Whatever he is using to cheat must be in his bags.> As he walks to the door, she yells out "I will order dinner while you are gone. What do you want?" He turns to her and says "Surprise me." He then winks at her as he walks out the door. As he leaves, she quickly pulls out her cell phone and calls "He is going back to his room. Have someone trail him." She then hangs up and grabs the phone and calls down to the kitchen to order dinner.

    At the Candi Stripe, the three bounty hunters walk in. They head over to a table in the back. Almost immediately, one of the waitresses comes over to take their order. "What do you guys want? Our bartender can make just about anything." Buffalo Bill pulls out a fifty and hands it to the woman. He then hands her a photo and asks "Do you remember this guy?" She grabs the fifty and stuffs it in her bra. She then looks at the photo and says "We get allot of men like that. Allot of married men come here in disguise." He stares at her and says "What about this man, do you remember him?" She shakes her head no and walks off. Boom Boom looks at him and says "You sure are easy with our money." Buffalo Bill glares at him and says "In a city like this, it is the only thing that gets people talking."

    The waitress goes into the backroom and knocks on Candi's door. "What is it? I'm busy." she yells out. "Ms. Candi, there are some men here looking for a man." She hears a laugh and Candi then answers "Tell them that they are at the wrong bar. This is a straight bar." The girl does not laugh. She then says "They are asking questions about the same guy that those big guys were here about." She then hears some scuffling inside the room. A minute later, Candi cracks open the door, wearing a bathrobe. "Are they still here?" The girl nods yes as she tries to peek into the office. She knows that Candi has someone in there, but she also knows that Candi has a back entrance, so that the girls do not blab about who visits here. More than one politician has snuck in here to blow off some steam and the last thing they want is to end up in the newspaper. "Give them a round on the house to keep them here while I get dressed." The girl smiles and walks off. Candi then slams the door and turns to her partner, a senator and says "Sorry, but I have to cut this session a little short." He looks at her, wearing nothing but a pair of boxers and says "Is it serious?" She smiles at him as she opens the robe to reveal her naked body and says "Nothing that I can't handle. She then grabs her bikini bottoms and slips into them.

    As the men watch the women dancing on the stage, the waitress brings over three beers. "These are compliments of the house." she says as she puts down the beers in front of the men. Slash smiles at her as he takes a long swig out of his. Buffalo Bill says "What is the meaning of this?" Boom Boom laughs as he says "This is what your fifty bucks bought us. Ask me, we were ripped off." Buffalo Bill gives him a dirty look as he takes a deep drink out of his beer. He then watches as the waitress walks off. She is wearing tiny little bikini underwear that looks more like a bathing suit than something to be worn in a bar. He starts to dream about how he will buy girls like that with his share of the money.

    A few minutes later, Candi walks out in her hottest outfit. It is a small red teddy that leaves little to the imagination. She has her long blonde hair flowing behind her and she is wearing a push up bra that sends the eye right for her breasts. As she walks over to the table, she leans over and gives the men a good long look at her breasts that are barely contained by her bra. "I hear you men are looking for a man. From the looks in your eyes, I think you would be happier with a woman." Buffalo Bill is all but drooling as is Slash. Boom Boom is the only one who is keeping his wits. This is Candi's plan, throw them off balance and find out what they want. She found that men are weak and if you flash some flesh at them, they will tell you almost anything. "We are not looking for a man to have sex with, we are looking for this man." He then hands her the picture. She pushes her hair back from her face in a sexy way as she looks at the picture. "What are you guys, private investigators?" she says as she hands the picture back to him. She then fixes her bra, making sure to jiggle her bosom. "These things are always slipping. If I'm not careful, they may fall out." Boom Boom then asks again "So has this man been here?" She pulls a chair over and sits down, between Buffalo Bill and Slash. The puts one leg on the table and gives them an eyeful of her small panties. "We get allot of men here, what is so special about this one?" Boom Boom glares at her. He knows what she is doing and he is upset at how well it is working on his two partners. "Can you please just answer the question?" She then drops her leg and glares at him. She waves over to the bouncers and immediately, two really large men start walking over. "Let's get one thing straight. This is my bar and I call the shots. If you want any information from me, you have to tell me why you want it. Understand." The two bouncers near the table when Boom Boom answers "We are private investigators and have been hired to find this man. He was reported missing by his family and the only lead we have is he was seen here." She then grabs the picture and takes another look at it. After she takes a good look at it, she looks at him and says "Tell you what, tell me who took this picture and I will help you." Boom Boom then describes what the man looks like. When he finishes, she looks at him and says "Yeah, he was here. Came in and paid for a lap dance for another guy and then left. But that is all I have." Boom Boom makes a disappointed face as he asks "Well, how about security tapes?" She laughs at them as she says "Why would I let you see those? You have shown me no IDs, nothing. For all I know, you guys are bounty hunters or worse, perverts." She then waves for the bouncers to remove them. As they are being escorted out, she yells out "Unless you have a search warrant, don't bother coming back." The men are then shown the door.

    Jack walks into his old room and goes under the bed and grabs out his briefcase. He opens it to check to see if all the money is there and is relieved to find it has not been touched. He then ponders what to do. He is already up allot of money. Maybe he should just leave before anything happens. He is not worried about hotel security, he can take them out with no problem. But he is worried about blowing his disguise. The last thing he wants is for people to put a face with the Fury. Right now, he is unknown and wants to stay that way. But the thought of spending the night with a woman like the one back at his hotel room is hard to pass up. He has not been with a classy lady since his wife. Since their divorce, it has been nothing but hookers. Not that this woman isn't just a high priced hooker, but she is a knockout. As much as it goes against his better judgment, he decides to stay here and take advantage of their hospitality.

    As Jack leaves his old room, he notices a man down the hall. The man is standing against the wall, trying to blend in. Jack stops for a second and reads his mind. <Why has he stopped? Has he noticed me?> Jack smiles to himself as he walks the other way. He heads to the elevator and waits for it to open. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees the man slowly walk down the hall, towards him. As he gets on the elevator, the man heads to his room and opens it. He quickly pulls out his cell phone and hits a button. "I am in the room. He is on the elevator." A voice comes over the cell phone. "We have him covered. Check over the room and see if he left anything behind."

    Back at the room, Nina is making the final preparations. The food has just arrived and she is setting the table. She pulls out a bottle of expensive champagne and pours two glasses. With the table ready, she opens her purse and pulls out a bottle of expensive perfume. It is supposed to be made with some kind of pheromones or something that makes men instantly attracted to it. Not that she needs it, but she wants to do whatever she can to keep him off balance. She has found that the more senses she can control, the easier it is for her to get what she wants. She then looks in the mirror and fixes her makeup. She makes sure that her lips are bright red. She then does her eyelashes. She wants the kind of bedroom eyes that makes a man melt.

    There is a knock on the door as Nina is fixing her makeup. She yells out "Will be there in a minute." She quickly fixes her hair and smiles in the mirror. Not a sweet smile, but the smile of a shark that is going in the for the kill. She purrs to herself "He will not know what hit him." She then walks over and opens the door. "You know how to make a woman wait." she says as she pulls the door open. He steps in and takes a whiff of the perfume. In his mind, he thinks <She doesn't miss a trick.> She then takes him over to the large table and pulls a chair for him. As he sits down, she grabs a glass of champagne and hands it to him. She then sits down next to him and says "Let's have a toast. Here is to a night of no regrets." They then clink glasses and both down their glass. They then settle down for a nice meal of steak, lobster and all the trimmings.
