Chapter one
The main lobby of the Wells Fargo Bank of Las Vegas was crowded. It was the third Friday of the month, many people, mostly union workers for the labor unions in Vegas, were cashing their respective paychecks and heading out into the Vegas night to spend a little money on the lucky dice. Or not so lucky dice, as the case may be.
It was one of the oldest buildings in Vegas, a national historic landmark if anyone bothered to read the sign. It had been there long before the casino boom, a post station for the stage coaches full of gold heading their way west.
A woman walked into the lobby. Interviews would later give conflicting opinions of her height, weight, and appearance, but for the moment she was dressed in a simple sundress, loose and gauzy around her knees. She carried nothing in her hands, of that they were all certain. She walked into the middle of the lobby, carefully positioning herself on one of the blue tiles, patterned in the blue and red flooring. A gentleman bumped into her, he was in a hurry, not looking where he was going.
"Oh I'm sorry, ma'am. I didn't mean to bump into you."
"That's alright," she said softly "I wasn't going anywhere anyhow."
A split second later she exploded.
Blood, tissue, bits of fiber and bone scattered across the lobby. The man who'd been standing by her side was killed almost instantaneously, bone from her body driving deep into his. Several other onlookers were wounded, the rest scattered. Over a radius of several meters, there was nothing but a circle of red. Within minutes the police responded to a jumpy teller's emergency button. Within minutes of that the CSI unit was on scene.
Who are you?
