A handsome young man crossed the lobby of the Mirage hotel. Jet black hair with blue highlights, the clothes all black with a silver cross around his neck, he looked like he was punk or emo maybe. Just another college kid on Spring Break.
At least thats what the security guards thought. The truth was this guy was no ordinary guy. He wasn't even in college. He thought he was above the whole "college thing" as he quaintly put it to his parents when he told them he wanted to go into the "family business". They had protested of course, but he was an adult so he could make his own decisions. The catch was he couldn't trade off the family name. He had to do that himself. But that wasn't the hard part. He wanted to make a name for himself, without help.
Another truth was that this guy's brother had pulled off one of the largest and most famous robberies here. Or at least this hotel/casino was involved, as were two more as well. They, said brother and the rest of the crew, had come away with millions. They had pulled more jobs together, two more to be exact. His own parents helped out on one, his father on both.
This didn't sit well with him.
He had already figured out how they did it. The S.W.A.T. bit was ingenious, the video smart but repeatable, the pinch was the clincher though. Without that they would have been done for. Of course the incredible abilities of the others deserved credit where credit was due. But he could do so much more for them.
He was thinking this as he crossed the floor near the slots, to the elevator to go to his suite. He knew how to make a pinch. In fact he knew everything there was to know about pyrotechnics (and other assorted sciences), he knew his history (mostly famous crimes), he had some serious bar tending skills, could kick box, and he knew how to play the piano. But those were rather mundane skills next to his favorite past times.
Pick-pocketing( the best and no one, not ever his parents could deny it), counting cards (he almost never lost), and his favorite, the con. He had even pulled a couple of jobs with a great crew. That was until, the last job went south. Like deep south. For everyone but him. Thats another story for another time though.
But these are not the most shocking truths about him. Not that his brother, Liunus, was coming to Las Vegas soon. Or that Danny Ocean was in town too. Or that he was assembling a crew to pull off yet another job that was just too good to pass up. Or that Rusty was watching near by as he stole another wallet, (it was the fifth during the walk across the lobby) and then proceeded to enter the elevator along with this mysterious young man.
The most shocking thing was that this man was not a man at all, but an 18 year old girl.
