Ellie: Ok well now we begin.

It's 9:00pm. Nick and Ellie are ready. Ellie still can't get over how incredible Nick looks and Nick can't believe how unreal Ellie looks. Honestly damn it they should just tell each other.

*at the casino party*
Ellie: wow. it's honesty incredible. I'm actually at a loss for words. Anyway, over the past week, the IT department have been putting out feelers for Santiago and Stella. This means James Godfrey knows who we are and he is expecting us both.
Nick: That's good. We just need to find him and play a bit of Casino near him so when they call out our names that we've won, he'll hear.
Ellie: Ok cool.

*Nick spots James and pulls Ellie to go with him to the table opposite James*
