Name one thing that kept us from doing bad things. The law? What if we don't care about the law? Our conscious? What if we didn't have one?
Then you'd get the Suits. Hearts, Spades, Clubs and Diamonds. Each faction was gifted a King, a Queen, a Jack, an Ace and a Joker. High ranking members of each gang were numbered, 2 to 10. Just like a deck of cards.
My name is Melissa Lark. Joker of Diamonds. This is the story of my partners, Ethan Denna and James Lark, and Myself. I can't guarantee this will be a pretty story.
