The blare of the siren was deafening. Jess looked around but couldn't see anything through the thick smoke. She stared into the thickest section, and saw a red glow was getting closer. Fear pounded through her heart and she tried to run but couldn't get up off the ground. Suddenly a figure broke through the smoke in front of her and looked at her. She looked up and strained to see them. It was a green paladin staring blankly through its helmet at her. She raised a hand up to it for help, but when the soldier raised its hand it was holding a pistol. Jess had just enough time to register she had looked down the barrel of this gun once before when she heard a loud crack.

Jess lay on the floor in a daze. It took her a minute before she decided her head hurt too much for her to be dead. She slowly sat up and let the clouds fade from her vision. She looked around the room, there was no smoke, no fire, and no paladin. Jess realized this was her room in the Lucky 38. She glanced at her covers on the floor and rubbed the bump already growing on her head. "Just another dream..." she up on the bed she just closed her eyes when she heard the door slam open and a wheel roll in.

"Why howdy partner, oh that's funny I thought you were up and moving, I heard a banging in your room." an over energetic cowboy voice rang out.

"Morning Victor" moaned Jess, slowly sitting up.

"I just came to tell you the boss man wants to see right away ma'am."

Jess crawled out of bed. and mumbled "Tell him I'll be right up there." Victors face disappeared into static and the face of Mr. House faded in.

"It would be in our best interests if you hurry, this is a matter of utmost importance." House's face was then replaced by Victor's once again.

"Well, see you soon pardner." Victor rolled back out of the room leaving Jess to her thoughts.
