Kaz was seated on a bar stool at the large, full bar located in the center of the casino. An arm rested on the counter top, a hat beside it, and a gloved hand cupped a half-full glass of whiskey, while keen, gray eyes took in the hustling, bustle environment around him. His ears peeled for any talk, any secrets slipped past tongues loosed by suffocating amounts of vice and temptation around him. Occasionally, it would pause on one of the Black Jack tables located conveniently across from his place at the bar and on one young woman in particular.
He’d time himself, counting out only a few seconds, before he shifted it back to his drink, his phone, and then to the other patrons once more. Anyone who noticed would simply think Kaz was admiring the blond seated at the table. Perhaps even wager he was considering asking her for a drink after another round of cards. It was precisely what Kaz wanted them to think. That his interest in that woman was purely attraction and nothing more.
Though, it could not have been farther from the truth. Kaz had never, would never see Nina Zenik that way. If anything she was like a sister to him. Not that he would ever admit that to her face. To anyone. But he wasn’t foolish enough to think Nina didn’t already know it. Someone with the ability to spy, blend in, and disappear in a sea of faces knew a thing or two about reading people. She wouldn’t be as good at her job if she was clueless to the inner workings of those whose eyes she attempted to pull wool over. With her shameless flirting and well-placed touches, effortless smiles, Nina was a master at being a spy. The perfect actress.
At least, she had been. Kaz had set up this con precisely to ensure she still possessed such skills. Nina, for her part, was excited at the prospect of utilizing her skillset once more. Given the latest antics of the Dome, Kaz was also inclined to have a distraction and a casino con seemed the perfect way to cross two things off his list with minimal effort. Normally, Kaz would be at the table too or at a nearby table, but tonight, he wanted to see what Nina could do so he set her loose on the casino alone.
Saints help her if she fucked it up.
