Chapter 1: The Beginning
It was a warm night in the famous city of Las Vegas, Nevada. A casino was as alive as ever. Men and women were placing bets, testing their luck at the slots, and a few hit it big... but lost it all in seconds.One man came to the casino very often. He would play his favorite card game. That game was Blackjack.
The Man's name was Jack Lee. Jack was a pretty tough looking guy. He was six foot six and 245 pounds of muscle. He often wore a black T-shirt with black jeans and black boots. He had short black hair and blue eyes.
Jack had pretty good luck when it came to blackjack. He won seven out of ten games. The only real problem was when the dealer tied him, meaning the dealer won.
Jack was sitting in his usual spot. He was winning left and right. The dealer was beginning to get frustrated. He even tried cheating and Jack still won.
Finally, the dealer threw the cards down.
"You son of a b****," The dealer snapped. "How do you keep winning? No one can win this much without cheating!"
"I guess its because I'm that damn good," Jack replied sarcastically. "And the fact that you can't win at all, just shows that you suck."
The dealer drew a gun. Jack stood up.
"Don't even think about doing anything," The dealer said. "Now you are going to give me all of your winnings right now."
"And if i dont want to?" Jack asked.
"Then I'll blow you away," the dealer replied.
Suddenly, a baseball bat hit the dealer in the back of the head. The dealer fell forward and was knocked out.
There stood a woman. She had long brown hair, a red shirt, a blue skirt, and red shoes. She had green eyes.
"Hello Farrah," Jack said.
Security dragged the dealer away and he was arrested.
Jack and Farrah embraced and kissed. They had been a couple for three years. Jack actually met her after a game of blackjack. Farrah was the dealer at the time, and a very good one.
Farrah was now the manager of the casino. She had been for about six or seven months.
It was time to go home and Jack walked with Farrah. They lived just two blocks away from the casino. They almost always walked unless it was really cold.
"So how was your night?" Jack asked Farrah as they were walking home.
"It was good until the dealer tried to kill my boyfriend," Farrah replied with a smile.
"He tried to rob me," Jack laughed. "Besides he couldn't even cheat right, do you think he could shoot a gun?"
"Good point," Farrah said. "Well, lets go home. I am so tired."
They got home a few minutes later. It was a pretty nice house.
Farrah fell asleep almost as soon as she laid down. Jack wasn't tired yet. He decided to stay up a little bit.
He got a can of soda out of the fridge. Dispite being in a casino and around all the drugs, alcohol, and smoking, Jack did none of those.
Jack sat in a chair. He turned on the TV. There was a breaking news story on.
"This is Las Vegas News live," the reporter said. "Another body was found in the ally next to the supershow casino. The body was found bloody and the head was removed from the victim. On the wall next to the victim in blood was a pentagram. Police say that satanists are most likely responsible for the murders, but so far no arrests have been made."
Jack shook his head. He found the situation to be stupid. He did not believe in demons or the devil. He didnt believe in any life after death.
"All these religious people need slapped," He said to himself.
Jack stood up and was about to leave the room.
Suddenly, he heard a loud car. He looked outside and there was a man in dark clothes and a hood. The man seemed to have yellow eyes... and the man began heading towards Jack's house.
