Part 2 - In the Seduction Chamber, the Ultra-Platinum Room
Sophia and I were unwinding in bed in the Oxford Hotel. I was trying to resume my story to her, but she was drifting off.
=======
"I had to work into this from several angles. No one wanted to tell me how that worked. One of the first things that I realized from their stories and some more detail that they shared is that the management really did not want to offer those personalized prizes. That's why they kept steering customers to the immediate gratification. If someone was easily manipulated, they would respond to the front room slots' appetite for more and more spins of the wheels. A higher level of interest and they would find themselves in the Ultra-Platinum Room, where electronic dreams would turn into reality."
"What about the entries on those data screens?!!" Sophia insisted on answers, in spite of her sleep-laden eyes and tired limbs. "I can understand the customers who were there being ready for action in the Ultra room, but the casino promised something from other people who were not there. Whoever the winners selected....!?!"
"Okay. What I did when I went to Reno was to figure that part out. They were offering something costly, difficult to obtain, and it was something no one wanted to talk about. I came up with the idea of going through the system myself."
"You did what?" My lover had resolved not to be jealous in our peculiar, but satisfying, relationship, but every now and then one or the other of us slipped into that feeling.
"No one was going to tell me anything, so I went myself."
"Couldn't it have been dangerous?" She was wide awake for a few minutes.
"Perhaps if I indicated that I was going to rock the boat. If I had the chance, I could talk my way out of a problem, I supposed." It was not a clearly safe situation, but I had dealt with clearly dangerous people before. Besides, I was beginning to feel sure of the hypothesis that I was developing-- I just needed to test it.
"There was one part of my plan that I was not certain of. I was going to be spending Joe Martinez' money, so I could get a lot of cracks at the prizes. Assuming that I could win one of the "data terminal" prizes, whose name should I type in?"
"Mine?" Sophia asked that in a tone that veered between hopefulness and offense.
"No, I thought of that. But it wouldn't prove anything much. And if the two of us were involved, the casino operators or their contractor might have guessed that they were being investigated.
"I was thinking that I might have nominated Madeline Tremont, the international studies coordinator from back at the university. She had been giving me signals that I might be on the tres grande vitesse track with her -- especially after she had noticed how well satisfied the Wu twins from her program had been after my sessions with them. They had been behind, and now they understood so much! But she had turned against me for self-protection when the trouble with the Dean started. She would have been a tough cookie for them to chew on."
"I didn't think you would use sex for revenge," chided Sophia. She was still a bit edgy about where this was going.
"I think I'm past that. I needed to nominate someone who would enjoy having sex, but had a reason to not pick me." I hoped that sounded acceptable.
"Anyway," I continued, "Fawn Ramirez took care of the matter."
"Fawn...???" Sophia interrupted. "Related to Joe?"
"The young woman who I met on the plane to Reno. No, the name was just a coincidence."
"You didn't mention her before!" Sophia interjected.
"No, I was trying to keep this story straight. It was simpler not to mention her till now."
"Uh huh," she paused, and then laughed, while drilling me with a knowing look.
"It was just a random thing, we were seated next to each other, with an empty seat between. We had a good conversation. Some laughs, learned a lot across our "huge" age gap. I was mainly thinking of learning background that might help me understand Carol's story."
Sophia's hand grazed lazily over my tummy to my reviving penis.
"You're sure you weren't reverting to your former, naughty ways with co-eds?"
"It could have gone that way, but you know that I've been trying to stay at arms length from them. As you can imagine, this was an emergency."
