There’s a town just outside of Vegas called Broken Wing. It’s hardly more than a smudge of neon against the black sky at night, a glorified truck-stop, a big parking lot, a restaurant with a bar and casino attached, a trucker’s motel with hourly rates, no questions asked.
The big rigs and tourists come laboring up Angel Pass and like to stop here before topping the mountain and starting that long glide down into Vegas proper. They cool their engines, grab a beer, or cop some Z’s or something else in the motel while they get their game faces on for their big time down in the neon wilderness.
We also catch them coming the other way too, back from Vegas, more likely than not burned out and broke, maybe even in debt and running for their lives. They all pass through here because they know I’ll give them a break. I’ve got sympathy to offer and cash to lend, and I’m always ready to deal. Make me an offer.
Just remember that I don’t run a charity. Everyone pays, sooner or later. You need air-fare home? You can bus tables or deal blackjack if there's an opening. If you want to pay it off quicker there’s truckers and gamblers who’ll probably pay you for your company, either in the motel or right in their rigs. I get a percentage of the gross, and maybe a percentage of the goods too if I think you’re worth it.
I own the place. I’m also Sheriff of the town of Broken Wing, what there is of it: a café, a jail and a pawnshop, a few houses for some of the people who work at Broken Wing. But mostly it’s a ghost town since the interstate passed us by. We get a lot of hot in the daytime and a lot of freeze-your-ass at night, and wind all the time. The wind is free. Not much else around here is.
I’m also Justice of the Peace, which means I’m pretty much the all the Law there is around here. That’s fine with me, and I don’t hear many complaints from anyone else.I can arrest you, sentence you, and throw your ass in jail and lock you in myself. I don't have to do that much. More likely, some big winner will come in and pay me for the priveldge of locking her up and playing a round of Slut in the Slammer. Whatever. I'm amenable.
My name’s Elliot. Elliot what? Elliot “Sir” will do for you. I'm always around. Just ask anyone who works here and they'll find me.
Now what can I do for you?
