Chapter Nine
?So what?s the plan for today?? Jenny asked as she ate her breakfast of fruit salad, brought up by room service.
?We start hunting,? said Adrian, holding up a folder. He tossed it onto the table and several pictures slid out, men and women with the photos taken from varying locations and across years. ?These are some of the people I need to get into contact with. In truth, I could easily contact them myself, but it?s better to hide how much information I have on them so that they?ll lower their guard as much as possible. Vegas is a frequent vacation spot for these people, so while I can admit to knowing about them when we meet, it is better that they not find out that I?m actually looking for them. It should just look like a matter of good fortune on our side.?
?So we?ll search the casinos for them, staying just active enough to not stand out. We can?t go on winning streaks because the casino security will be on to us before we can even cash in our chips. We have to win big and lose often. Basically, we just have to act like a young rich couple with more money than brains that can be occasionally lucky,? said Jenny.
Adrian grinned. ?Correct. Now let?s finish eating and head downstairs.?
The casino was quite extravagant, with bright chandeliers illuminating the casino floor, which was carpeted with an ornate flower area rug. Placed in key points, marble pillars were supporting the cathedral-style ceiling with a maze of slot machines and game tables stretched out across the floor. Their conversation was almost completely drowned out by the ringing of slot machines, jingling of coins and chips, and the calls of celebration or woe from the gamblers that flooded through the corridors of gambling tables.
?Ok, give me a second to get into character. I need to summon my inner-dumb blonde,? Jenny said, closing her eyes and taking several deep breaths. ?Oh his god! This is so much fun!? she exclaimed with an obnoxiously shrill tone and a goofy smile.
?Just remember to surface for intelligence, I don?t want you to drown in the stupidity of the stereotype.?
?Actually, I kind of like it this way. The world is so much happier when you think with your boobs instead of your brain,? she teased as she twirled her hair around her finger.
?Jenny, you?re scaring me.?
?You?re so easy to mess with.?
Adrian had his face in his hands and was giving one sigh after another. He was in the Bellagio casino and had just lost a 100K at blackjack. The dealer had a smug look on his face at his suffering.
?How did it come to this?? Adrian kept muttering. He still had 500K with him, but his recent loss had just left a huge crater in his pile of chips.
?How about you quit while you?re ahead?? the dealer asked.
?Hell no. If I?m going to go out, I?m going out in a blaze of glory. I?m all in.?
?Oh, this is better than TV,? the dealer said as he handed Adrian two cards, flipping them both face-side-up, while he his own two cards facedown. Adrian gave a small but confident smile and tapped the table, having already figured out what the next card would be.
?Are you sure? You have seventeen, it?s a lot more shameful to go overboard then to stop when you know you should,? the dealer asked, giddy with the hope that Adrian would fail.
?Blaze of glory my friend, blaze of glory,? the young genius insisted, tapping again. The dealer sighed with a smile and handed him another facedown card, then flipped it over along with his cards and his jaw dropped when he saw it was a four.
?Twenty-one! Hallelujah!? Adrian hollered, falling to his knees with his fists in the air.
The dealer grudgingly pushed over his one million dollars in casino chips and Adrian poured them all into a plastic bag and strolled off. ?Hmm, too easy,? he chuckled, returning to his normal personality.
Jenny and Adrian had spent almost a week in Vegas, working the casinos like hacked computer games. They spent every day and night growing their fortune merely for the fun of it while keeping a lookout. With their genius intellects, they were able to win almost every game that was within their control. They were so good that all the money they purposefully lost was pure winnings. In fact, they had more than tripled the cash they had arrived in Vegas with.
Along with gambling, they spent a lot of time touring around Vegas. They watched the fountain shows of the Bellagio, they went to see the Bodies Exhibit, looked around the Atomic Testing Museum, filled their stomachs at M
