Inside of a hotel in Downtown Pasadena,

A man, with a suave appeal grabs a microphone and begins to speak to all the guest in the grand ball room.

"Hello everyone and good evening. I am glad you have all joined me for the grand opening of my hotel, T.C. Hotel, Named after my initials. I am Tyler Christopher and I am your host for this evening. I hope you all check out my hotel and please have a good time."

The guests give out an applause and "This is why I'm Hot" By MiMs begin to play from the surround sound in the ball room.

Treachery

Tyler walks over to his right hand man Daniel who is sitting at the bar, sipping on some Ty ask his bartender to fix him a double shot of .

Ty(leaning closer into Daniels ear to keep their conversation on the low)

"One of my men dropped off a package on the bed in room 420. I want you to get it, try it out and if it is good go back to room 420 and the there will be a woman will be waiting for you."

Daniel

"A woman? What the hell is a woman gonna go with a pound of ?

Ty

"Don't asks questions when we are getting money!"

Daniel

"....Bet. I hope it some good good, I need a lift right now."

Ty

"Now I must warn you, that the person buying this package is dressed in all black with a black veil. Don't be alarmed! Now she is to give you a stack. And please Daniel, don't mess this up and don't lose none of my money. I need all my chips!"

Daniel

" Ty relax man, you will get all 10 of your Ben Franks. I have never messed up any deal before have I?"

Ty

"Just go get my money. Time is money!"

Daniel downs his goose and gets going to his mission.

As Daniel walks away, a beautiful brunette bombshell catches Ty's eye. He can't help but to stare at her as he walks over to her.

Daniel pushes the number 4 on the gold elevator plate. He sees his girlfriend, Lauren behind him in the reflection of the gold plated elevator door.

Lauren

"Where are you going?"

Daniel turns around to face her.

"I wish you would stop acting like the police and act more like my girlfriend."

Lauren

"You make that hard to do. I saw you and that snake Tyler whispering and what not. I know it has something to do with drugs!"

Daniel( Frowning at Laurens loud tone)

"Keep your damn voice down.... I told you I'm not selling drugs for Ty. I am clean. I gave up that life when I got out of rehab." He says lying to her

Lauren

"Good now you won't mind if I go with you then?" As if to test the truth.

Daniel( Getting agitated)

"Lauren No!"

Lauren

"Why not? What were you and Tyler talking about?"

Standing by the indoor water fountain, Ty tries to spit game at the beautiful woman

" Your are beautiful. Too beautiful to be standing her all by your self. Can I be your date?" He boldly asks.

"It's nice to meet you Mr Christopher." The woman replies.

"Just call me Ty. And you are?" Ty replies back.

"My name is Jennifer but most people call me Jenn. And as flattering as your offers sounds, I don't think my boyfriend would approve very much of it."

Ty

"I see. Well I would never leave a woman with your beauty alone to meet guys like me."

Jenn

"And what kind of guy are you?" She says gaining interest, as she chuckles.

Ty

" A guy who gets what he wants."

A man walks up behind Jennifer.

"And I'm a man who keeps what he has." the man says.

The man puts his hand out to shake

" I'm officer Mike Dietz, You have a very nice hotel here Tyler."

Ty does not return the hand shake. He has a couple of quick thoughts.

<This is all I need, the damn police up in here while I'm making drug deals!>

Mike(Wondering why Tyler won't shake his hand)

"Is their a problem Mr Christopher?

The tempo of the party slows down as the song "Love" by Keyshia Cole begins to play.

Officer Mike pulls his hand back after Tyler does not shake it.

Mike

" Well Mr. Christopher, if you don't mind, my girlfriend and I would like to dance."

Ty ( Still starring at Jenn)

"Yea whatever" Ty grabs Jenn's hand and softly kisses it.

Ty

"It was a pleasure meeting you Jenn and I look forward to seeing you again."

Mike (Frowning up and on the defensive)

"Well don't hold your breath for that one." Mike quickly touts back.

Mike grabs Jenn's hand and pulls her onto the dance floor where they hold each other and slow dance to the love song.

Ty goes back to the bar and orders another double shot of Patron. He continues to look at Jenn while talking to his bartender.

" She's beautiful isn't she Chris?"

Chris

"Yes she is . I assume thats her boyfriend she's dancing with?"

Ty

"Yes it is. He's a cop."

Chris

"No deals!. That's all bad."

Ty

"Normally I would say your right. But I am not worried about robo cop. She's a gem. And besides, I think she is feeling me a little bit. I saw it in her eyes."

Chris

"Your asking for trouble."

Ty

"No trouble at all. I love a little challenge. Mike being a cop will just make things all the more interesting." Ty has a smirk on his face.
