It was easy. The lies that fell from my tongue were too easy. Jay believed I was going with Jenna and Molly to visit UNLV for the weekend. That I was finally taking those steps to being independent again and planning for a future. He went on and on about how it was perfect timing and he would be busy working between Sarge’s ranch and the shop to keep up appearances. I packed my bag without sweating over it. I even left my mom a note with the same lie. Hell, I told it so many times this week that even I almost believed it. Everything fell into place like I had planned. I was cramped in the back seat with Antonio while Joe sat shotgun and Stone drove us the couple hours north to the Vegas strip. They were going to work at the newest hotel and casino on the strip, La Flor. A single text from Seth sat unopened in my inbox. I hadn’t had time to seek out Trent like he suggested and frankly, I had no reason to believe either of them. My gut told me that what I needed to know I was going to find in Las Vegas.

“Sin City,” I whispered when the neon lights from the Strip were starting to glow in the early evening dusk and could be seen from my small vantage point in the back.

“Where demons hide.” Antonio wags his brows at me, a look of excitement and knowing crosses his face. My breath catches and I play it off quickly like his words don’t send shivers down my spine.

“Where millionaires fall and the underdog can become someone,” Joe adds from the front seat before rolling down his window and letting his hand coast through the air.

“Where the depraved can be left in peace while the weak-minded are held accountable.” Stone joins their twisted word game. I fight the urge to roll my eyes, not fully understanding where the conversation is going. Believing they sound like coked-up frat boys on their first weekend of rush at college, only they’ve already been graduated for fifteen years, and now they’re the creepy guys at the bar. Seriously?

“Er,” I hesitate. “Are we staying at this hotel, too, or just working?” It’s been a few years since I’ve been on a Vegas run and even then, I never had a hand in the actual planning. The guys had the jobs lined up, and Blake took care of the hotel, sometimes plural, that we stayed at.

“Yup,” Antonio replies, using his index finger to poke my forehead. “No worries, B, it’s all taken care of.”

“Things are going to seem a little different this time, Blaisey,” Joe warns me, turning in his seat to meet my eyes. “We’re pretty well known in these parts.”

“What he means to say,” Stone interjects, his deep black eyes finding mine in the rearview mirror. “Is it’s less manual labor now. And we usually celebrate at the club afterward these days.”

“In style,” Joe throws in there, smirking proudly.
