Jupiter pulled his cell phone out of his pocket as he made the turn into Las Vegas. He could already see some Night people on the streets and his earlier calmness disintegrated. He needed to make sure Carmen was ok and stay ok before she fell prey to some other vampire. He dialed one handed and pressed the phone to his ear. "You've reached Fiona, how may I help you?" Jupiter raised an eyebrow as he made a turn. "Fiona? It's Jupiter," he said.
"Oh! Jupiter! Hi!" she exclaimed. Jupiter could hear the smile in her voice. "I'm in Las Vegas," he said. "Oh, good, good. Do you remember my address?" she asked. Jupiter told her he did but she repeated the address anyway. Then she wished him a safe drive and hung up.
Jupiter put his phone back into his pocket and wondered whether Carmen had found his note yet. He hoped that she'd call and at least give him a slight clue to where she was.
He made another turn and found himself in familiar territory. He had come up to Las Vegas with Niki about two years back and, if he remembered correctly, went to a party in one of the buildings around here. He noticed a faded, spray painted black iris above one of the doors and saw that someone was sitting outside. The guy looked up as he drove past but Jupiter didn't make eye contact.
Him and that guy didn't have a very good history.
During the party, the guy had shoved into Niki and Niki hadn't responded smartly. He had had a few drinks so he pushed the guy back. The guy got pissed and a fight broke out. Jupiter, seeing his best friend in trouble, punched the guy in the nose and then kicked him between the legs.
While everyone made sure he was ok, Jupiter grabbed Niki and dragged him out of the club.
Another reason why Jupiter didn't like Las Vegas. Not many happy memories.
