*At Dead Man's Hand*
  I got out of the taxi, to see myself in front of a club. The clubs sigh was of three Ace Cards and the words "Dead Man's Hand" written at the bottom.
  There as a long line in front of the club. Anywhere from a little teenager with a fake driver license to old Betty's tryin' to act like their 16 again. I just shook my head.
  Instead of going to the back of the line, I cut straight to the front. And of course, there was allot of people that were ticked off about it; but I didn't care.
  "Hold on there Miss." A deep voiced, muscular said as he stopped me from entering the club.
  I showed him the tattoo behind my left ear.
  "My sincere apologies Ma'am. You may enter." The man said as he stepped aside.
I nodded in response and entered the club.
  Once in the club, I see lots of people dancing, drinking, and talking. I roamed myself to where the bartender was.
  "What will it be- Oh! How do ya do My Lady in Red. The usual?" The bartender asked.
  I nodded my head 'yes.'
  "Alright, one bottled water coming right up." The bartender said as he got the water.
  "Here you go." The bartender said, handing me my usual.
  I stood there, watching people dance and listening to the music an the rumors.
  "Hey bartender!" A half drunk man said with a smug look.
  "Yes sir?" The bartender asked.
  "What's that fine ass, smoking hot chick in red, story?" The half drunk man asked in a lustful way.
  "Watch your mouth! That's a proper lady!" The bartender exclaimed.
  The drunk man was about to say something but his friend who wasn't as drunk, stepped in.
  "My apologies for my friend. He has has a bit too much for drink. But I am curious too. What's her story?" A business looking man said.
  The bartender sighed.
  "All I can tell you is rumors. Everyone here at the club calls her, The Lady in Red. Rumor has it that my bosses has a soft spot for her because of her past. My guess is is that they met her about ten years ago. Cause that's how long she's been coming here for. She has a special tattoo that gives her special access to anything. And she gets whatever she wants here, for free. But again. These are just rumors that I've heard. I doubt that that's true." The bartender told to, now very drunk, two idiots.
  I heard the whole thing, and I smiled sadly at the memory.
  Now I felt like dancing, which is a good thing cause my favorite song came on.
 

(I DO NOT OWN THE SONG OR THE VIDEO. PLAY HERE.)
  I walked to the middle of the crowd and started dancing. Moving my hips left and right. Getting lost in the music. Every once in a while, I would dance lower an lower to the ground an come right back up. I would jump up and down every so often.
  After the song was over, out of the corner of my eye, I see two of Cloverfields men working their way to me.
  So, I decided to make my way to the second floor.
  The door to the second floor was located in the corner with a green light shining over it.
  A tall man, guarding the door, was about to stop me until I showed him my tattoo behind my left ear.
    He immediately granted me access.
