Chapter 338 Trip to Las Vegas

Less than two days after returning to Los Angeles, it was the weekend. Jack took advantage of the holiday to go to Las Vegas alone, where a special "Star Trek" commemorative exhibition was being held.

As a former American TV series fan, pseudo-science fiction fan, and glue guy, but now he had a little money in his pocket, he wanted to come to the special exhibition to see if there were any gadgets worth collecting.

For example, the model of the USS Enterprise, or the USS Enterprise, or even the USS Voyager, USS Discovery, or Deep Space Nine.

Of course, if he could collect them all at once, Jack wouldn't mind making room in his study and putting up two cabinets to display them all.

Hannah originally planned to follow, but her promotion notice came. Less than half a year after she became a Special Agent, she was upgraded to a Senior Special Agent.

Hannah had to stay. In addition to accepting congratulations from colleagues and bosses, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson also held a family dinner specially for her.

Jack was reluctant to attend such family gatherings. He shuddered at the thought of having to face Zoe and Hannah's families at the same time.

Jiejie was not in Los Angeles either and flew to Silver Spring to see her parents. Rhett was very interested. Unfortunately, there was a lecture at the University of California that required him to attend. In the end, Jack had to drive the Firebird alone to this world-famous gambling city.

Los Angeles is very close to Las Vegas. Jack set off at 5pm and arrived at the booked hotel at around 9pm.

The hotel industry in Las Vegas serves casinos, and it is approaching the off-season for tourism. Suite prices are ridiculously low. Even at the more luxurious Linnick Hotel, the price of a basic suite for one night is less than $200. .

Jack tipped the front desk 20 dollars, and the ordinary suite was upgraded to a deluxe suite. This little trick was taught to him by Rhett.

Before Red was banned from all Las Vegas casinos, he was a frequent visitor here. He had no gambling addiction, but he liked counting cards.

Of course, this trick is common in the hotel industry across the United States, but the success rate is higher in casinos during the off-season.

Jack had no interest in gambling. He strolled around the casino in the hotel and admired the beautiful figures of the bunny girls. Then he turned around and strolled into an Italian restaurant called "Vintner Grill".

His taste for French food is average, and of course it may be due to Rossi's influence. When dining out, if he can't find a more authentic Chinese restaurant, he usually chooses Italian food.

When you ask a girl out for dinner for the first time, and you don’t know her taste, choosing an Italian restaurant with a good reputation is a less likely choice to make mistakes.

Yes, before he went to Las Vegas, he made an appointment with the FBI agent who looked exactly like the Scarlet Witch in the previous Marvel movie.

Unlike the BAU, which handles a case and leaves the finishing work to the local police station and runs away, Jane Banner stayed in Wyoming for nearly two months and only recently returned to the Las Vegas office.

It's not that Jack really thought about her. When he originally planned to travel, he called Jane in front of Hannah and made an appointment for today's dinner.

After all, they had caused such a big trouble in Wind River Valley. Without Jane Banner's cooperation, they would have spent a lot more effort.

It's natural to treat someone to a meal and talk to express their gratitude. By the way, it can also understand the outcome of the case from the mouth of the main person in charge. Of course, Jack mainly wants to know if there is anyone behind the scenes.

Without keeping anyone waiting, Jane Banner appeared on stage wearing a burgundy evening dress, escorted by eyes all the way.

"Amazing." Jack praised without hesitation.

Jane no longer wished she could wrap herself up like a bear when she was in Wyoming. The close-fitting evening dress showed off her beautiful figure to the fullest.

Her long dark brown hair was pulled into an elegant bun, and her beautiful legs were looming in the slit skirt. Jack tried hard to look directly into her blue, gem-like eyes.

Because the heart-shaped hollow chest design of this dress is so eye-catching.

"Actually, I should be the one to treat you to dinner today. As you expected, I was promoted as soon as I returned to Vegas." As soon as the two sat down, Jane couldn't wait to share her joy.

"So, what should I call you now?" Jack dismissed the waiter and opened the champagne himself as a congratulation.

"Still a Special Agent for the time being." Jane blinked. She only wore light makeup today and no false eyelashes, but her big eyes were swaying, making her look a little more playful and cute.

If this girl ignores her figure and just looks at her face, she is not the type to be stunning at first glance, but she is absolutely attractive.

Maybe it was beautiful and delicious, for both parties, the meal was a feast for the guests and the host. Even if there was a sudden storm, lightning and thunder outside near the end, it could not ruin the good mood of both parties.

Jane gave an overview of her experience in the Wind River Valley in the past two months. As expected, both the state government and the federal government, and even the BIA, a department with the name "Bureau of Indian Affairs", are trying to keep a low profile. this case.

There was no task force, no "SCIS" (Special Field Investigation Team), or even police support from other places. An FBI trainee agent and a tribal police department with less than ten people were able to handle two cases with a total of more than 100 victims. A big case involving 20 people.

During the low conversation between the two, Jane was filled with admiration for Jack. She looked at him with eyes that were so sticky that they were about to get stringy. Just when she took the initiative to ask someone to take her back to her residence, there was a sudden sound outside. The thunder suddenly plunged the surroundings into darkness.

"What happened?" Jane subconsciously grabbed Jack's right hand. The whispers of the surrounding customers changed from the exclamations of several ladies to loud inquiries from male customers.

Jack glanced out the window. The same was true for the splendid casinos and hotels outside. The whole street was plunged into darkness, which made people feel nervous, as if the end was coming.

Soon, a light came on, and the restaurant manager holding an emergency light hurried to the middle and called the waiters to bring lit candles.

According to the restaurant manager, it seems that a large power substation was struck by lightning, causing a chain reaction. Now not only Las Vegas, but most of Nevada has been plunged into darkness.

The restaurant was equipped with an emergency generator, and part of the power supply was quickly restored. Soon, the lights in most of the buildings outside were gradually turned on again.

However, it was obvious that the emergency generator was not enough to support the decorative lights and street lights on the building's exterior walls. The streets still seemed extremely dark, but some police cars with flashing lights arrived nearby almost immediately.

My book shouldn’t be blocking anyone’s path to making money, right? I had asked for leave in advance, but several trainees came out and said that I was a eunuch and that I was really sick.
