The miser was such a “Scrooge”. The addict was drawn in by the casino’s “siren song”. The hall monitor was never one to “cry wolf”.

Roland’s glass door swing open‚ the man walks through is the very epitome of authority with his gun hanging idly at his hip‚ the party guest reflected in his over-large sunglasses. Everyone seems not to notice‚ they are not scared. What can he do? Arrest them all for underage drinking. Maybe if a soldier walked in‚ people would start talking.
