R of B- Vegas break

The quartet settled into an averaged priced hotel a block off the strip. Each got her own standard room, but the plan was to meet up for dinner and to see a show.Together,they seemed like an unlikely grouping. Sharon, middle aged and biracial,who cared nothing for fancy clothes, seemed like the default leader of the group and managed to keep them organized and on schedule both now and while they planned and "executed" their projects. She was the only one of the four who liked mementos/ trophies of the men they had killed. Alina, with her severe facial scarring, often repulsed strangers who gave her eye contact. Ironically,the rest of her body could be a double for Scarlet Johannsen, and Alina always dressed very stylishly. Myrtle's grandmotherly, benign look fooled many acquaintances, because she cursed a lot and drank a lot and got very loud when she chose. The most visibly noticeable member was Pauline who dressed to the nines and loved to wear lots of makeup and jewelry. Already tall, Pauline would wear very high heels, and had the look of a woman who may have once done modeling. They decided to eat at the Bellagio's top restaurant , because they all felt like splurging and getting some mental distance from their most recent hot, dirty desert job.They all ordered rare filet and lobster. They had male waiters , and Sharon gave them a hard time. In fact, all four women were really demanding throughout the meal time, but they left a 25% tip which most assuredly surprised the waitstaff. Then they went to see Celine Dion by paying through the nose to get last minute tickets, and enjoyed the concert tremendously. Afterwards, they all found it amusing that not one of them wanted to gamble.They decided to do that the next day when they would play Black Jack in the high roller area.So they went back to the hotel, changed and got into the hot tub. With nobody else around, they drank a bottle of Grand Marnier, smoked a couple joints, and felt themselves relax and enjoy this particular evening of post-mortem chatting and laughing. The unusual team had coalesced.
