The Hundred Thousand Chip
Casino del Estrecho, ten past four in the morning. The commemorative hundred-thousand chip, the only one the house has issued in sixty years, was waiting in the drawer under the cash desk counter until the winner of the high game claimed it. The game ended, the winner came over to collect, and the drawer was open. Nobody has left the building: the doorman locked up at three.

Floor manager
I never left the store room.

The roulette room is where I was. Melchior — I saw him in the manager's office, and I stand by it. What Salome is telling you is a lie.

I spent that entire stretch in the store room. Deborah is telling the truth, and I stand by that.
