Vegas. Who's ready to go home broke?

Shan landed. She stumbled forward a little.

"Working on it," she laughed.

Shan nodded and looked around. There was a burning on her hand. "Ow."

She looked at it and was surprised to see her burn had gotten smaller. she looked back up and smiled. "Okay... We need to find the Black Azalia shop. It's hard to find."

Shan, despite herself, ran with him, laughing and giggling as she went. She didn't know how fast she was going.

Shan turned, her smile flashing and her fangs out slightly. "We're close, John! Can't you just feel it? It's like lightning running through me!"

"Did you know Vegas is run by witches?" Shan asked him. She grinned. "Circles Midnight, Daybreak and Twilight. They run thirds of the town each. Thats why casinos are so competative. The Circles hate each other. Well... Midnight and Twilight do. Daybreak is peace loving."

"There's plenty to teach you, John. And plenty for me to learn," she said. "And read out from that special sign over there which can only be read by werewolves, vampires and other paranormal creatures."

Shan frowned at him. She kissed him on the lips and frowned. "Since when do I date lab rats, silly," Shan corrected, using her unimpressed face.

Shan broke into a grin. Then froze. Sheleapt beyond him and ran after a shadow. "John! Come on!"

"I don't know. It's someone," Shan called back as she ran. She made it to the dead end of an alley and turned. She had a bad feeling.
