Sin City Adventures (A Zak Bagans FanFic)

Chapter 1: Sin City

I can't believe I'm here in Sin City! Viva Las Vegas! I mean yes, I've been here once before but that was for my 21st birthday six years ago. Now not only am I back, but I'm living it up! The best part about it is that my best friend, Kelsey, is moving here with me. We've been inseparable since kindergarten and I'm so excited to be sharing this part of my life with her. We found the cutest two-bedroom apartment just ten minutes off the strip in a quiet, gated community. Moving away from our families in Florida was a difficult decision, but we both wanted a change and Vegas is definitely that. I only hope that she's as excited as I am.

We officially moved in about two weeks ago and have already seen some of the sights on the strip. The infamous Binions offered some great blackjack tables where we gambled away some of our money. Well, let's just say I played and she watched. I'm not a huge gambler but my dad taught me how to play when I was in middle school and I wanted to put my "skills" to the test. I came out $150 on top! That may sound like a minuscule amount to most people but it was good enough for me! I mostly play just for the fun. We also went to the Stratosphere and went on the needle ride, enjoyed some wine and fondue at a super nice restaurant, and played more blackjack at the Wynn.

Since it's Friday, we're back out on the strip as we just happen to have off work together. Hello three-day weekend! I'm a Licensed Veterinary Technician at a local animal hospital and Kelsey works at the same hospital as a receptionist. I'm not sure how we got so lucky to have landed a job at the same hospital, but it sure is fun working with my best friend. As we're walking down the strip fighting large crowds, Kelsey suddenly stops and points to a massive building.

"Hey there's the Bellagio! Want to check it out?" She shields her eyes from the blaring desert sun as she looks up to read the building name. 

"Oh, yes! It's beautiful in there!" I remember going here before with my mom and step-dad the first time I visited Vegas. The gardens are amazing and everything is so vibrant. I don't think I've ever seen so many colors in one place before.

We walk in looking like complete tourists as we stare at the breathtaking glass flower ceiling. "Wow! This is gorgeous!" Kelsey exclaimed, not caring who heard.

"It is pretty amazing," I agree with her, amazed it's just as pretty as the first time I saw it. I stop craning my neck upward and start walking quickly realizing Kelsey isn't next to me. "Kelsey, you coming?" I look back and laugh.

Kelsey peels her eyes off the flowers, "Yes, sorry! Let's go." She slightly runs to catch up with me.

Suddenly we hear a small group of what sounds like teenage girls squealing. I jump and look over to the left where the screams are coming from and I couldn't believe what I was seeing! There were four guys dressed in all black standing in the lobby. I recognized them instantly and my jaw hit the floor. Speechless, I just stood there and stared at them. Luckily, I was far enough away they didn't realize I was doing so. What in the hell were they doing here? Was there something going on? I was so mesmerized at the moment I didn't even care.

"Hello! Earth to Shawn!" Kelsey waves her hand in my face and gently closes my mouth from under my chin. I jump a little and look over at her.

"Do you realize who they are??" I whisper loudly and secretly point at the group of guys.

"No, who?"

"Oh my God." I dropped my finger realizing I was still pointing. I had to remember that Kelsey didn't watch their show as much as I did. "It's Zak Bagans and his Ghost Adventures crew!" I tried not to say too loudly.

"Oh my God, really?"

We were both staring now. Kelsey had a secret crush on Jay, I could tell, especially when her face went bright red when she saw him. And me? Well one could probably guess, like the rest of the world, we all have a thing for the same nerdy, hot guy with black rimmed glasses and spiked hair. I snap back to reality and realize the girls were still there trying to talk to them. The crew looked slightly annoyed that they couldn't seem to get rid of them.
