Ugh. The first thing I noticed when I landed in Vegas was the heat. As soon as I stepped off the plane a layer of sweat broke out all over my body, and I began silently praying for my air-conditioned room at the Goodfellas Casino, a room given to me courtesy of the Moretti Family. I walked out of McCarran International Airport, bags in hand, and prepared to hail a cab. Soon enough, I realised there would be no need.

"Zero! ZERO!"

I turned, ever so slightly. Anthony Moretti was half-hanging out of his personal limo, waving like a madman at me. I walked over to him, lugging my bags along behind me. I finally reached the limo, panting and heaving and covered in more sweat.

"Zero, I've been waitin' here for you for hours. Get in."

I just stared at Moretti for a minute. Then I sighed.

"Fine, Mr. Moretti. Just lemme put my bags-"

"Never mind that! Alphonse! Take care of my friends bags for him."

The driver, a tall, middle aged man climbed out of the limo and walked up to me. He took my suitcase and my sports bag and disappeared behind the limo. Moretti opened the door, and I climbed in. Thank God, this limo has air-conditioning. I took a seat facing Moretti, who was dressed in his trademark suit and had a glass of scotch in his hand. He offered me a drink, and I gracefully accepted.

"Now then, Zero, we gotta discuss things.." Moretti spoke in a businesslike manner, as I sipped the alcohol. I gave him a small nod.

"Of course. Business."

"Zero, I think things are gonna turn out alright. I got a call from one of the guys we spoke to at Countdown to Violence..."

A call!? Things are looking up. Did Bad Religion just get a new member?

"And? Who made the call?" I demanded. Moretti fished a piece of paper out of his pocket and handing it to me. I studied the name on it for a moment, nodded, and then handed it back. The limo gave a sudden lurch, and our trip to the Goodfellas Casino was underway.

"This guy is definitely in. He was very interested in what we had to say. Now, all we gotta do is wait for the other guys to make contact." Moretti had a smug smirk on his face. Evidently the man had been busy while I spent a few extra days in Toronto.

"He'll be a valuble asset to our cause, Mr. Moretti. We could use a guy like him."

Moretti nodded, sipping his drink.

"Yeah. He'll be working with us on Showdown this week. And speaking of Showdown... We're gonna need all the help we can get."

I was a little apprehensive of his words.

"What do you mean? What is happening?" I asked hesistantly.

"Paige booked a freakin' Roulette Night. Everyhting is being decided by chance. Anybody can face anybody, in any kind of match type, with any title on the line. You could be facing some rookie with no experience in a normal match... Or you could end up taking on Psyko Stevo in a Hardcore match. Anyhting, and I do mean anything, can happen."

"Damn... that could pose a few problems.." I instantly began thinking on what could happen on this "Roulette Night". I suddenly had a brain spark. "But, Mr. Moretti, this could work in our favour! I could end up facing Alex Ross for the World Heavyweight Championship..."

Moretti made a harumph noise.

"I doubt it... Alex has made deals with the right people, Zero. It isn't likely he'll defend the title at all, let alone lose it." He rubbed his face with his hands.

"What about Night? Or even this... Frank James character. I could end up against one of those men in a title match. Either way, it would bring some gold back into the Bad Religion camp." I was desperately throwing out ideas here, trying to made good out of this awful Roulette Situation.

"Zero, don't worry about winning titles. Something like thrity guys are involved in this Roulette Night. You could be facing any one of them! Shredder, Drew Carrig, Equinox... I want you to start studying every guy on the sVo roster when you get the Casino. I'll dig as much info up on what Paige is planning as I can."

I was silent for a moment, still thinking.

"But what about the new guy? Surely we could get S-"

Moretti almost flung himself across the limo at me. Instead, He help up his hand a made a "shush" motion.

"I'm not sure this limo is secure" he explained apologetically, "I have a feeling Paige bugged it to try and dig up some dirt on Bad Religion's plans. We should keep the new guy a secret, it'll really give her a shock when she finds out!"

I nod, knowing the wisdom of his words. Travis William's absence must be filled in, soon. And the guy Moretti got, this is really gonna make an impact. I nod along with his words.

"Okay, titles are off the agenda. I'll begin my "homework" when I get back to the hotel.." I begin dejectedly. I was looking forward to hitting the tables at the Goodfellas Casino for a while. Moretti would love to clean my pockets of his money.

"Good man. You know, we a re the last two members of the original Nad Religion. It's funny how much things can change in a month... But you and me, we're on the same page. We gotta stick together, no matter what. Understand? because eventually, it's gonna down to us versus them. And, well, I'm offering you a chance to be on the winning side, and enjoy the benefits of being my right hand man." Moretti smirks as he speaks, draining off the last of his drink as he finishes his little speech. I sigh.

"Mr. Moretti, we're in this together. I helped you start this, and I'm going to help you finish it."

"Good, Zero. That's good to hear."

I finsih off my scotch at the limo halts outside the Goodfellas Casino. I open the door and step out, closing it behind me. The window slides down, and Moretti pokes his head out.

"Zero, listen, come to this address tonight. I've got something tp show you."

He hand me a small card with an apartment name scrawled on it. I nod, and walk to the back of the limo to collect my bags. I pick up my case and bag, and begin my walk to the entrance of the Casino.

Things are about the change.
