It was shaping up to be a good week. The Phoenix diamond-eater (or whatever it was he wanted the stones for) had already been planning a trip to the city for his own devices and paid Frankie well for the stones he'd gotten from Celeste; in truth, it was a little more than Frankie had expected, a nice little kickback from the universe making up for what he had lost to his bookie. It seemed appropriate to celebrate, so he had actually gotten all decked out in a suit for a change and hit one of the higher end casinos on the strip. He could look the part, even if he couldn't play it for long; two hours in, a few hundred down, and a ridiculously over-sized fruity concoction in his hand, Frankie tended to stand out.
He stood a little ways back from the roulette table, just watching the little marble make its journey over and over again, often to the detriment of the players. He liked roulette, from a certain perspective; the only real way to cheat would be to have a rigged table apparatus and, so far as he knew, this particular casino was straight on at least that tip. Games of chance were exhilarating, when they truly were simply the luck of the draw.
There was a woman standing on the opposite side of the table that struck a chord of familiarity to him. She was lovely, dark hair and an intelligent gaze, but it wasn't just that. Frankie was certain he had seen her somewhere before -- somewhere when he was watching through feline eyes.
