All Bets Are Off Script

Scene Four..

That evening went quickly for Circus. She got dressed, for the first time in ages, in a red dress and black gloves. The last time she wore something like that was years before the strip was even made. Circus waited outside behind the entrance and after a few minutes, a black limousine drove and stopped in front of her. The driver appeared and opened the door for her, once she got in, she closed the door and waited patiently.

Circus(muttered): "Nice decoration decision…"

The car started to move and what she didn't know was that HollyWood was sitting down across from Circus.

HollyWood: "Why, thank you. It was an anniversary gift from Monte himself. It's very beautiful." 

HollyWood took a moment to look at Circus.

HollyWood: "My, My. What a wonderful dress…I didn't mean for you to come in all dressed up. But, whatever you're comfortable with. Oh! Where are my manners? It's good to finally meet you in person! I'm HollyWood, the manager of the strip and my casino. Pleasure to meet you at last."

Circus had a mixed feeling about HollyWood, but tried to stay alert. 

Circus:(nodding) "Please, the pleasure is all mine. It's good to see you in person as well. I might ask, if you don't mind; what's the real reason why I'm involved in this...invitation?" 

HollyWood took a moment to answer, finally crossing the strip. She looked out the window.

HollyWood:(not interested) "To discuss some recent events, but...for you to also enjoy your time here. Oh, and we'll be picking up Monte, it's much easier to have everyone here and not to take too many trips."

Circus understood and remembered what Caesar and Excalibur said to her about HollyWood. 

The vehicle stopped at the airport and a crowd of people were around the door. The doors opened and a tall man came through and walked through and to the limousine. 
HollyWood opened the door and looked around to see Monte Carlo in front of her, she gave him a handshake and brought him inside and closed the door.

HollyWood (happy, smiling): "It's so good to see you again, darling. We brought the person you wanted to meet at long last.."

Monte looked at HollyWood then at Circus, his face was not at all showing expression, there was a scar on his right cheek, which scared Circus. Monte sat down next to HollyWood.

Monte: "Circus. It's been too long. How are things? It's been a while since we've last met."

Circus knew what he meant by that, which frightened her.

Circus: "Everything is fine, thank you. I wasn't expecting this invitation at all." 

There was a chuckle from HollyWood and Monte. 

HollyWood: "Oh, like I said; Just some managers like us, having fun and getting to know each other. Nothing else of the sort."

The vehicle came to a stop and the doors opened, Monte got out and so did HollyWood, Circus got out last and looked around in awe, she was surprised by the surroundings and the people, which excited her.

HollyWood:(smiling) "Like it so far? Good, there's more to see."

Monte took Hollywood's hand, leading Circus inside the casino. Guests were already having fun gambling and winning, the sound of slot machines and music filled Circus ears. She hasn't heard that much action in years, which made her a bit sad but pushed the emotions away. They walked through the crowd and finally to the elevator, once all got in, the door closed and HollyWood pushed the number 48 button, sending them up to the floor. Which was the main manager's private lounge for special guests and other casino managers. It had a bar, a fireplace both insane and on the patio, even a blackjack and roulette table.

HollyWood: "Go ahead and make yourself at home. The others should be arriving soon, what would you like to drink, Circus? I assume you don't drink?"

Circus nodded, she wasn't the type to drink of all people. 

HollyWood: (nodding) "May I give a suggestion then? How about a smoothie? Cold pressed juice? Or maybe a non-alcoholic daiquiri?" 

Circus chuckled.

Circus: "Maybe a strawberry daiquiri wouldn't hurt. Thank you." (grinning)

HollyWood nodded and snapped her fingers, and her workers at the bar started to make her drink. The elevator dinged and Circus looked behind her, the door opened. Her eyes widened in fear.

The people at the door were Aria, Paris. In front of them was Excalibur and Caesar, frightened.

HollyWood: "Ah! You're just in time! Come in! Come in!(smiling) We're just having a drink."

Excalibur and Caesar walked first before the other two followed, they were scared since Monte was staring at them.

Monte: (sitting down) "What's with those long faces, you two?(smiling) We're all here to have a nice, long, chat."

He smiled and took a sip of his drink that he poured out himself.
