Sugar

“You’re late,” I say to Leroy when he finally shows up in the parking garage with the limo to pick me up. “What took you so long?”

“I was hunting for your girl,” Leroy replies, stepping out. “The news isn’t good. Not good at all.”

“She’s gone? Shit!” I slam my hand down on the hood of the limo. “Dammit, I knew it. I’m such a fucking idiot! Any idea where she went to?”

Leroy shakes his head and holds up a hand. “Hang on, as far as I know she hasn’t left town yet. Not voluntarily, anyway. I found out something mighty suspicious about her though. Maybe you should stay away from Jade until we found out more information.”

“Quit stalling and tell me. Whatever it is, I can handle it. Is she married? Is she here in Vegas with another guy?”

“No, I don’t know about another man,” he says. “Calm down and let me tell my story. First, I went to the casino to see if I could find her. When I didn’t, I asked around a bit. She’s easy to spot with those big, ugly glasses. Several of my guys working in the casino remembered seeing her sitting at the slots the last couple of days. She’s kind of plain and ordinary, but in a way she stands out in the flashy Vegas crowd. Not to be insulting or anything.”

I nod back at him. I know exactly what he means, and it’s not a bad thing.

“Well, to make a long story short, one of my guys saw her being escorted out of the casino by hotel security yesterday,” he says.

“Yesterday?” My mouth drops open. “No way! When did this happen? Fuck! I knew she was in trouble.”

“Here’s the weird thing,” Leroy says, rubbing his bald head. “They removed her from the casino yesterday morning. Now we both know what happens when casino security hauls your ass out. They never let people come back in. There’s no such thing as three strikes in Vegas. One strike and you’re out permanently. No second chances ever. If security even gets a whiff of suspicious activity, they’ll kick your ass to the curb so fast it’ll make your ears bleed. Or worse.”

“I’ve heard about that part,” I say. “There’s a rumor they take card counters to a room in the basement for questioning.”

A chill runs down my spine at the thought of Jade being hauled off by security. She has no idea what this town is all about and who runs it.

Vegas has a very dark underbelly.

“They might call it questioning, but I call it waterboarding,” Leroy says. “Either way, I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end, especially if I was a woman.There are some sick bastards working in this town.”

My blood runs ice cold. I’ve heard whispers from other staff members about Mr. Giovanni’s dealings in the past. He’s the type that lets other people do his dirty work to keep his own hands clean.

He’s a ruthless son-of-a-bitch.

If Jade gets on Mr. Giovanni’s bad side, there’s no telling what he might do to her.
