Sorry Sheikh, been busy in the Casino.

Strolls through. I'm taking a good look round while he place is in shut down mode.. Kicks aside a  discarded bra, almost Breaks toe in the process.. Huh? picks it up.. Now why the hell would a girl keep a knife in her bra?. Shrugs..

My god it's just come to me!! Looks at bra size and pockets it.. I think I have a little announcement to make to everyone. It might just crack this case wide open!!! Tonight Guy and Gals... Tonight.

*watches Harry sneak a discarded bra into his pocket*


Now, either he is a secret transvestite or he is on to something here....hmmmmmm, best keep my eye on him.


*gets on with the clearing up* Best do this cos I don't need another run in with old Sourknickers.

*stops Violin playing and laudanum supping for a short while, leaves room and wanders down to The Cocktail bar*

Looks around for anybody who may be in charge of this investigation. .see's no one so leaves a list of questions and some note paper for the suspects to answer.

1]  What was the time of death?

2] Where were all the suspects around the time of death?

3] Can the suspects provide an alibi?

4] Have we seen Rolands will yet?

5] How is it Bet can make it so her punters don't win in her pit? You are very protective of it Bet why is that and what do you hope to gain?

6] Scarlett if you have just lost your husband to be why are you already canoodling with another man and not grieving?

7] Sherry where is your mother?  Does she know you contacted your father and what are her thoughts about that?

8] Did Roland have any partners in the Casino and did he fund the purchase all by himself or with backers?

9]  Harry where do you store your props and who has access to them other than you?

10] Who found the body?

will call back later for answers..  and more questions..

*Goes back to room to play Violin while pondering on meaning of life and wondering where I can get my next supply of Laudanum as I am running low  .. *

My mamma God rest her soul  departed this cruel, cruel earth many years ago  as for my daddy, I haven't seen him for a good long while - he may be dead for all I know 

oops laudanum senior moment. .I meant Sherry  

*goes to edit question list and adds one more question*

*lingers in background waiting for answers to Sholmes' questions to come rolling in*

*checks through notebook discreetly stashed under bar and looks to see if there are any other questions that need asking*


That Sholmes is darn good, wonder if he needs an assistant?

Oh dear lord ....the Twat in the Hat's back.


I don't make them win or lose Hat Boy .......I just ensure they win or lose fairly, or as fairly as the Casino allows it to be.  We get a lot of weasels thinking they can play us at own game, and stack the odds in their favour.... I just make sure they don't get away with it. That's what I get paid for. And I'm damn good at it.

I am ever hopeful that people will turn up here and answer these questions, after all, their freedom could depend upon it....or even their lives....do they have the death penalty here or not??


Jen: How many stepmothers of yours are still alive? What happened to your Mother? How rich are you now Daddy is dead?


Harry: How long have you been drinking? Did Dwight die before you started here or did he die here?? Are you gay? Was Roland gay?Whose bra did you pick up earlier?


Scarlett: Was Roland planning to sell this place to bankroll your career?


Sheikh: Can you afford all this gambling? Where exactly are you from and why didn't you bring any of your wives with you?


Bet: Were you in love with Roland? Did you ever meet any of his wives? How old are you? What the hell has the world done to piss you off so much?


Candi: How did such an innocent as you end up in Vegas? Just what were you prepared to do to further your 'career'? What were the extras??


Tommy: How much of a stake do you have in the hotel? Did Roland owe you money? Do you know anything about Rolands numerous wives? Just how close are you to the Ewynns?


Sherry: Who is your mother?




Blimey, I need a drink after all that.

*goes to check that questions aren't same as Sholmes...hopes not cos can't be bothered to edit*

Vi....I'm confused. Are you supposed to be good cop, bad cop, or totally crap cop?

Pfft.... what do you take me for? I am more than capable of being grateful to a man for giving me a break, without feeling the need to go all doe-eyed and gooey over him.   And We're not all money grabbing, gold diggers like that Scarlett O'Dear-I-have-no-career!




No. His daughters seem to be coming out of the woodwork though!


Old enough to spot a cheater when I see one, and young enough to chase the cheater out of town and all the way back to his trailer trash roots!



What are you talking about? This is me in a good  mood.

Are you supposed to be good cop, bad cop, or totally crap cop?




I'm aiming for a mix of all three.

Bet, did you see yourself in the role of Rolands protector at all? Did you ever wish you could just make all those gold-digging, money grabbing 'friends' of his just disappear?

Harry, honey, why do you and Bet hate each other so bloody much? I mean I can see that she is not always the most likeable person on earth, but what is her problem with you? They say that the line between love and hate is a fine one......

Hey Vi Iv'e been drinking since I was a baby your gorgeousness  Breast fed and proud of it.
Dwight was my stage partner we worked here for years, then a year ago Roland somehow bankrolled the casino and no I'm not gay. If Roland was he kept it hidden from me and Dwight.
Bra? Oh! you were in the bar this morning huh? What you doing hiding there eh? I intend to do a little checking up on that bra. I do know one thing.. It was not yours honey.. You cant fit a quart into a pint glass

So Roland was in charge when poor Dwight died? And the drinking referred to the alcohol as well you know, you saucy man you.

Oh and I know the bra isn't mine, even my training bra was bigger than that.

I don't hate him Brator....he's far to irrelevant to hate

It's the magic I can't stand. I mean, it's just cheating isn't it? Trying to trick and fool the idiot masses into believing something that doesn't exist?

And I can't bear a cheat.

Hi honey -I have just come in now to grab me a drink. Ah have had a baddd day I am telling you..

You want to know if Roland was gonna bankroll me by selling this place?

Not that I am aware of... besides, Ah don't need no man to give me money... Ah can make ma own see...

Blimey Bet, I'm guessing someone hurt you really bad in the past? How do you release all that aggression?

Well that sure ain't my bra.... I don't wear cheap cotton..

If you are so good at making your own money Scarlett, how comes you are so desperate t bag yourself a rich man??

A girl can never have too much money sugar - wouldn't you agree?

Yeah....that's about right

Off to grab some food before my shift in the bar.

my mamma died and I needed to pay medical bills.  A friend who was out here already suggested dancing as the money is good.  It's true I do private dancing although I don't like it, but you get so much more than ordinary chorus dancing.

I do not give the sort of extras your implying 

To answer Herlock and Vi - my mother is an eccentric English Teacher.  She puts it about a bit if you know what I mean - hence my coming about.  She actually wasn't the slightest bit bothered about me tracking down Roland - she just said she remembered it was a great night...the night of my conception!

Sorry people - AH have just woken up...
Gee Ah am sooo tired at the moment - Ah recently had mono and haven't really gotten over it.

So Hi Sherry... how are you? We haven't really gotten to know each other well have we honey?
How long have you worked at this here establishment? You must enjoy the work - you certainly have more than your fair share of drinky poos..

* laughs* Ah am wondering sugar how you manage not to fall over. Ah know Ah couldn't carry those big ole heavy trays  when ah am slightly worse for wear...
Honey you must have a constitution of a little ole ox..

Well, hello there Scarlett  I've only worked here a couple of months actually - but I'm already getting bigger and better tips than I ever got at my last place - love it.  I do like the perks of the job I must admit - lots and lots of drinkies on tap!


I actually fall over all the time, but somehow always manage to fall in a customer's lap and they are always more than willing to give me a hand  I love this job!

Well Sherry honey as long as you like it thats the main thing...

Now pour me a drink and have one yourself...

Ah am just going to take 5 and read through my latest script -  Ah will see y'all later 

Cheers Scarlett - don't mind if I do  see you later!

Scarlett, you poor thing, mono can be nasty. Where were you when you got it? Are you sure you should be drinking??

*Pops in for a Scotch*

*pops out for Al* ( . Y . )

and you have the nerve to question my morals 

*pops in and wonders if she's accidently gone next door to the Sleazy Sluts Saloon*


VI BRATOR!!!!!! MY OFFICE.........NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
