You're just jealous Candi cos your surgeon wasn't as kind to you as Mother Nature was to me.

*follows Bet whilst trying to discreeetly shove things back in the right place*





And you're jealous too Bet, Harry's got better boobs than you.

Harry the Camel? 

Those aren't boobs, they're humps.

Harry Houdidme...cept he ain't done me....yet.

Grant and Phil are looking lovely tonight Honey
 
 

Why thank you Al  When are you performing tonight?

If your offering baby Harry is UP for it, your place or mine And would you like one hump or two with your Harry...
 

*remembers the hunk sprawled across bed* Errrrrr, it'll have to be another day Harry, honey, I'm all tied up here.

Sugar, I'm always performing

So when do i get to meet the real Al?

You don't need to make no appointment Honey, and you don't need no invitation
 
 
 

Why you so worried who it all goes to, everyone including Daddy knew i ran this place for him.

Its my place of work.

Well, that latest piece of evidence has opened up a whole new can of worms, that's for sure. I have even more questions now!


Sheikh: Did Roland want a particular one of your wives? Was it a favourite one? She must have been spectacular for Roland to stake his business on her? How desperately did you want the casino? Did you see it as a way out of the debts that you have run up with your gambling?


Chip: How are you going to get out of ths one?? And brace yourself honey, cos now Scarlett knows you can get your hands on some diamonds she is going to make you her next prey.


Harry: WTF are doing? Sober at this time of day? Are you ill?


Scarlett: Did you know anything about this wager between poor Roland and the Sheikh?


Tommy: Why didn't Roland come to you for protection? After all, you were so close to him? Maybe he didn't trust you, what is it they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer?? Makes you wonder which one you were, doesn't it?


AND TO ALL SUSPECTS: Exactly how long have you been here at the hotel/casino?




Right, that's it for now, I need a lie down!

Sorry to intrude.... but urgent message from the Sheik/Ros.  She sends her apologies, but  her computer got hit last night by a serious virus  She can't access the forum or FB from work, so until her puter is fixed she will be absent from the forum

Poor Ros

Another question for Scarlett! Have you ever met the Sheikh before? Have you ever been married before?


I know that's two questions, but I'm sure you'll cope!

I've just got here
 
Ladies and gentlemen....Elvis is in the building...thank you very much...a huh huh!

am I a suspect?? 


as I've said before I was hired by Roland 3 hours before he was unfortunately killed 


what time was he killed at anyway - I've a brain like a sieve? 

Vi you already know I have been at the Casino a long time now.

It occurs to me people are thinking that Roland had put the Casino up as a bet.. Step back a bit and think again . The stupid idiot put his life up as a bet! This thing goes a lot deeper. He felt someone was out for him that's why he hired the muscle, who are they? 

My theory so far.. It was a ruse to tempt the would be killer out into the open... Think about it.
Maybe the Casino bet ain't what it seems to be

or maybe someone close to him made him believe he was a target and performed enough little 'tricks' to ensure he believed it!   Scare him enough and point the finger elsewhere then do the dirty deed and pretend you know nothing about it eh Harriet!

 Your not just a pretty face Candi, you have one hell of an imagination as well..

I don't need to get out of it. It's just a little extra something to drop in the bag when I'm on my way, it's hardly smuggling. Think of it as 'formal delivery' on behalf of a friend or two.

To answer your other question I turned up in Vegas a couple of days before Roland met his maker who presumably wasn't particularly inspired when he dropped Rollers into our little universe.

Harry, I thought the wager was that if Roland died before midnight, then Sheikhy boy got the hotel and casino? If he lived, he got a wife. Seems an odd thing to place a bet on. I mean, it's not as if Roland had a terminal illness or was looking especially frail, is it? So why such a specific time scale? It's most intriguing, don't you think?

Your getting there Vi..  Would a man bet his life as the condition to win a woman? (present company excluded your divineness) ..When the camel man gets back questions need to asked.

But what sort of woman would be worth that kind of deal?

That depends on the man Vi.. Only love can cause such maddness.. I may have to interview ALL of those wives myself

I just don't get it Harry, I mean I could really see myself spending the rest of my life with Brad Pitt, but I wouldn't wager my life on the chance to.

So not a wager then but a threat disguised as a wager. Roland was desperate to find out who was behind this just as much as we are now..

Who  is entertaining tonight.
Im just coming in to oversee everything is running like clockwork.

Aww hi Jen Thanks for the reminder, I have that special booking that poor Roland gave me.. If you excuse me...

What special booking Harry??

Is all ears.

Ah knew they were talking - they used to have lots of meetings at odd times of the day and night. But ah did not take much notice - menfolk they tend to talk the talk but really a lot of it is hot air,

*Sheikh: Did Roland want a particular one of your wives? Was it a favourite one? She must have been spectacular for Roland to stake his business on her? How desperately did you want the casino? Did you see it as a way out of the debts that you have run up with your gambling?*



Vi each of my wives are possessed of a unique beauty - any one of them would have pleased Roland.  I would not say I "wanted" the Casino - I cannot resist the thrill of a bet, I just want to win something

I had kind of gathered that you were not the worlds most successful gambler, Sheikh, it's a shame you don't know Chip better, perhaps he could have given you some tips.

Oh and Scarlett, exactly how long have you known the Sheikh? Your last answer confused the hell out of me.

Ah only met the man when poor Roly died.
Ah have known of his existence for a few months because Roly used to talk about him.

I have no debts though vi ....my losses are not a problem as I am one of the richest men in the world

Sheikhy baby, why was the bet made with Roland to such a specific timescale? I mean, unless you knew something about the mans health, how could you even imagine that he would die so soon? I realise that you only stood to lose a wife and they are easy to come by, Scarlett and Candi are practically drooling at the chance, but as a 'man of honour' as you said, surely losing a wife to Roland would have hurt?

 These things happen Vi - it started as idle banter and suddenly it was a bet!  I cannot resist!
