Casino De La Queen

Staff Meeting

When Danny woke up he was laying on a hospital bed. He was in a small room, there were three counter's one on each of his sides and one in front of him, In between the counter on the right and the one in front was a door. Above the counters were windows. Danny was attached to an IV. The Queen was laying next to Danny. She was Staring at him and Smiling.

"Hello Sweetie," she said as Danny slowly opened his eyes.

"Where am I?" Danny asked exhaustively.

"You are at Saint Rose Dominican Hospital," Mr.Quinton said from the cell phone, The Queen laid next to Danny's ear.

"We took you here after you passed out," Madame Queen said.

"You..... why?" Danny asked.

"Well, we couldn't just leave you on the ground, now could we"? Mr.Quinton said. "Now I have a proposition for you Danny" The Queen stated.

Danny turned his head. "Well more of an ultimatum," Mr.Quinton said.

¨Mr.Quinton and I discussed an idea I had" the Queen said.

"After I saw your sculpture I thought you might be...." "You want to hire me," a tired Danny said softly interrupting the Queen.

"Yes, but not as a sculptor. We are going to let you work for our establishment as a bellboy and slot attendant" Mr.Quinton said.

"Our background check says you been without employment for about three weeks, and that you had been without nourishment for quite some time" he continued.

¨It's even surprising that you were still able to move let alone sculpt¨ he finished.

¨So here's your choices, the Queen started. ¨Either you come work for us and make a few bucks, or you starve yourself to death¨ she offered. Danny agreed to work for them after realizing that he needed the opportunity.

The Queen got up and walked out the door. When she came back she was pushing a large tray of food. As one of my workers, you need to work up your strength. Now I'm going to go talk to Mr.Quinton you stay here and eat up, Bubbles will come to pick you up. Danny wondered if his sculpture was what actually convinced billionaire business tycoon to want to directly hire him.

The next day Danny's first shift as bellboy went fast, 10:30 came before he knew it. Danny was tired after his first shift, but not too exhausted. He was looking for the conference room and was ten minutes late. Danny could hear Mr. Quinton from down the hall when he found them.

¨Now staff pay attention, we are going to have to pull through tonight¨, Mr.Quinton said. Bubbles was standing next to him. ¨Mr.Callahan is coming in and you know what that means¨, he continued to say as Danny walked into the large conference room. Mr.McArthur glad you are able to join us Mr.Quinton said annoyed.

It still seemed strange to Danny that the people who ran the company, the Queen Corporation, were directly running one Casino de la Queen and resort. Why did the owners and lead advisor's of the Queen corporation call meetings personally Danny thought but soon dismissed as he realized that an annoyed Director was addressing him.

¨We here at Casino De La Queen do our best to show up on time¨ if you would like to maintain your existence as an employed man you might want to do what you are told Mr. Quinton continued.

"I apologize sir.....well good, you will be assigned to Mr. Callahan," Mr. Quinton said cutting Danny's speech off.

There was a blonde man near the end of the table, he looked very intently at his laptop. He was wearing a black suit and a long plaid reddish brown dress tie. Next to his laptop was a gray business calculator, by his chair was a bag the same color as his tie. His hair was very long and frail but it was well kept. It was combed back, it seemed as if he made sure nothing got in the way of anything he did.
