What:The sale of the DeVries Diamond
When:Early Evening
Where:From the KR to The LV Strip

Slipping the black bowtie around his neck, Nate tied it effortlessly as he glanced in the mirror and then back over his shoulder to Pavla in the bed, “I’m having Rosemary come sit with you. She’s very sweet and has some practice at nursing”, he pulled the bow tight, straightened his jacket and used a bit of gel to tame his thick, spiky, blond hair.

Walking over to sit on the side of the bed, he kissed the diminutive Romanian’s forehead, “Still feverish, poor baby. I’d have you in sickbay, but seems as if Doc Jordan has already flown the coop”, he brushed Pavla’s silky black hair from his face, “…I’m sure the Doc is out performing some unspeakable act even now”, he stroked the boy’s cheek, “I’m sorry I have to go, baby, but I’ll not stay away any longer than I need to, okay? I have to sell this diamond while I can”, he held the rare stone up and the light caught it’s many surfaces, casting beams of color on both of them, There aren’t many can afford such an item, eh?”.

Just then, a knock came and the captain called for the person to enter. It was Rosemary, the telepath. Though she was somewhere in her 40s, Nate considered her quite a beautiful woman and also ‘a good catch’…more than once she had fueled a fantasy on his ‘alone nights’. “Rosemary! Thank you for coming on such short notice”, he greeted.

“You’re more than welcome”, the attractive, plainly dressed woman returned, “I had no plans, really, and sitting with Pavla would be my pleasure”. You could tell she truly meant what she said. Rosemary was a disarming woman.

Clearing his throat, The captain bent to give Pavla one more kiss to the cheek and then say, “I won’t be any longer than I need to, Rosemary. I owe you one”. Then he was out the door and heading for Gwen’s quarters.

As he walked through the corridors of the ship, people passed dancing and laughing and talking about how much money they were going to win…everyone seemed to be in a party mood. Good, he thought, they deserve it!. Nate was never happier than when he saw ‘his people’ happy. Suddenly, there was a bounce in his step and a smile on his face. Maybe they would be in Vegas for a few days, eh? Stopping in front of Gwen’s door, he knocked and patiently waited, remembering the last time he was there.

She almost fell into the hug with Nate and grinned at him. She took his arm. She gave a tinkling laugh at his exclamation. "I'm sure the Immortal will have his own selection of girls." She grinned leaning in front of him to smile at Gwen. "Hey. I don't think we've met yet. I'm Serena DeSoto. Codename Grease Monkey." She grinned at her once more before they entered the hotel. She knew they had a few more people on board, she could tell when she liftedit off the ground in Hawaii. This girl must be one of them.

GM loved this hotel and looked around in fascinated wonder. It was so classy and beautiful. And she loved the water show in the front. She was excited to be seeing the Immortal again, too. Not surprised that he had picked the Bellagio to buy a room in. He was a nice man, easy on the eyes and quite witty. She had enjoyed the time they'd spent with him the last time. She couldn't believe that it had been seven years already.

As they entered the penthouse suite, Serena broke a smile for Methuselah. He looked as handsome as ever, and as young. She wished that she could keep her youth the way that he could sometimes. She waited while he made Gwen's acquaintance and then moved to give him a hug. "It has been too long. This suit is gorgeous on you." She had an eye for fashion, and he looked striking in it.

She stepped back so that Nate could greet the Immortal as well. She looked around the penthouse, recognizing a few of the people there. She smiled and nodded when she caught their eyes, but didn't make a move to go speak with any of them. They were here on business. She accepted a glass of champagne as it was brought around on a tray and moved in closer to Nate, Gwen and the Immortal.
