The Arms Hotel Lobby, Tuesday

Mary was relaxed from a quick weekend trip to Las Vegas, though it still felt odd to be one of those people who went to Vegas for just a weekend.

But all good things must come to an end, and when Mary arrived for work, she discovered that Gunther had fired his sous chef. He insisted that he could manage the kitchen on his own. Mary didn't think so, which is why she started placing loads of fake room service orders to see how well Gunther could keep up.

Price himself was out for a walk when he decided to drop in on the hotel and see if Mary was in.

"Well, good, you are around," he greeted.

"Well, you never know when people are actually working," Price said. "The town doesn't believe in normal work weeks, you see."

"I don't think I've heard that one," Price said. "What, like, people leave for a week and come back and it's been a year on the island?"

Price blinked a few times. He suddenly felt a very strong urge to get a hold of Nikolai and Soap.

"Well if that don't take the biscuit," he said. "But I assume you're alluding to the fact you recently visited back home?"

"Very good to hear," Price said. "Glad to see you with a smile on your face, darling." He smiled at her in return. "Family's important. Or so I'm told."

"Not thinking of leaving us, I hope," Price said. "As I think I'd be sad if you became so far away, yourself."

"Only so many all-you-can-eat buffets and showgirls you can take, eh?" Price said with a chuckle.

"Alcohol probably at every turn," Price said. "And am I recalling correctly when thinking you've become a teetotaler?"

"I can't look him in the eye normally," Price said with a chuckle. "Gives me the creeps."

"I find it hard to believe a lady like yourself could maintain that sort of anonymity. Then again, I've never been to Vegas," Price.

"Not to mention the pretty face," Price said, casually. "Don't think I could ever really like a place like Vegas. Too busy for me."

"Not much for desert, either," Price said. "Luckily I didn't have too many ops in the Middle East."

"Britain isn't exactly a desert island," Price said with a smile. "But I have had the pleasure of seeing a lot of the world. What did you think, first time you got to leave your state?"

"It is a lovely place," Price said. "And definitely a view I'm getting used to. It beats the frigid parts of Russia, that's for sure."

"The island traveled to Antarctica?" Price repeated, a baffled look on his face. That was a new one.

"Well that's something I'd not heard before," Price said. "Learn something new every day, I suppose."

"Let's just hope we steer clear of Russia," Price said with a chuckle. "I don't have many friends there."

"Well I suppose now I'm not quite an enemy of the state," Price mused. "It's not quite 2011."
