"So where do you want to go?" Sally asked briskly. Jack slipped his hands into his pockets and shrugged. "Where ever you want to go I suppose." Sally stared at her feet as they walked down the sidewalk. "Have you been in London all this time." she asked. "No," he said simply, "I've been everywhere. France, Spain, almost everywhere in Europe. These idiots are still being chased by fans."
They stopped at an intersection and waited for traffic to clear. Sally took the time to look at Jack's face. He had deep dark shadows under his eyes and a long scar ran down his neck from his left ear. Jack saw her studying him. He cleared his throat and nodded forward. Traffic was cleared. They walked in silence for a moment then she asked, "How long has it been since you came to London?"
He scrunched up his face in thought. "About ten years but every now and then we would stop by and get supplies or something to eat." "Wait, you haven’t been here since you where eight?" "Only for pit stops." "I'm sorry Jack." "No, no don't be. I've seen most of Europe now. I just... wish there was something more." As they continued walking, bright lights gleamed from the building ahead. Sally sighed.
"Don't make eye contact with anyone." "Why?" "They'll try to invite you in for a gamble." Jack looked up at the sign above which read
Snake Eyes. Next to the words were two huge blocks of dice. Jack couldn't help it but to let his eyes wonder on the colorful building. He then spotted a broad man. His blond hair was slicked back and he wore a suit in royal purple. He looked up and saw Jacks stare.
"Jack..." Sally whispered. He turned away. The man spit and made his way to Jack and Sally. Sally looked back. "Oh gosh we attracted one." Jack turned to see the purple suited man following them. She started walking faster just then three teenagers blocked thier way. Jack and Sally stopped and turned around. The man in purple gave them a big smile.
"Hey there!" he said cheerfully. Sally gave a weak smile and Jack plainly stared. "You are...?" Jack started. "I'm the owner of that big flashy building over there and those three work for me. I saw you walk by. You must not be very wealthy." "Your right we arn't, so have to go now." said Sally with a smile. "No, no please. I'll give you a tour. I'm honored to have such guests in casino."
