THE DATE IS DECEMBER 31, 2029. IT IS THE DAY, A YEAR EARLIER, THAT ALL THIS STARTED.
THE CASE HAS CONTINUED. A MEETING OF THE TOP LEVEL LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL IS TAKING PLACE IN A HOTEL ROOM AT THE BIG ROLLER CASINO.

THESE IMPORTANT GOVERNMENT OPERATIVES ARE USING THEIR TAX-PAYER FUNDED SALARIES WISELY TO KEEP AMERICA SAFE FROM THE CRIMINAL ELEMENT.

ONE OF THE GOVERNMENT OPERATIVES SOUGHT SOLITUDE IN A QUIET PLACE. A MOMENT OF REFLECTION AND MEDITATION, SHE WAS SURE, WOULD HELP TO SOLVE THIS PUZZLE.

THESE CAPABLE GOVERNMENT AGENTS AND OPERATIVES STUDY THE PROBLEM ALL DAY. THE SOLUTION ELUDES THEM. BUT, THEY HAD FUN THINKING ABOUT IT. THEY ARE GOOD AND PRIMED FOR THE NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY THAT WILL BEGIN IN JUST A FEW HOURS.

MEANWHILE, THE VEGAS PD HASN'T BEEN IDLE. DOWNTOWN AT HEADQUARTERS HOMICIDE DETECTIVE BLACKFORD HAS BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH OTHER COPS IN THE JURISDICTIONS WHERE THE SERIAL KILLER HAS STRUCK, AND HE HAS A THEORY.

DETECTIVE BLACKFORD GOES TO THE BIG ROLLER CASINO TO COORDINATE THE ARREST.

I"I'VE TRACED IT TO ONE OF THE IMMERSIVE COCOONS ON THE SECOND FLOOR, IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM. IT'S REAL DARK BACK THERE AND THE VILLIAN IS USING THAT COMPUTER," BILL TOLD THEM.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US BEFORE?" ASKS BLACKFORD.

"I JUST FIGURED IT OUT A FEW MINUTES AGO, RIGHT BEFORE YOU GOT HERE", REPLIES BILL. "SOMEHOW, HE'S BYPASSING MY OPERATING SYSTEM AND HACKING INTO THE DATABASE. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. NOBODY CAN GET PAST MY SECURITY."

BLACKFORD AND JOE LEAVE THE TECH SUPERVISORS OFFICE AND GO OUT INTO THE CASINO. THE PLACE IS JUMPING. MIDNIGHT IS LESS THAN AN HOUR AWAY. THEY STRUGGLE TO GET PAST ALL THE WEIRDOS WHO ARE PARTYING AS IF IT IS THE END OF THE WORLD. THE YEAR 2030 IS FAST APPROACHING.

AS THEY MAKE THEIR WAY THROUGH THE CROWD BLACKFORD LOOKS AT ALL THE WEIRDOS AND WONDERS ...

OUT FRONT, A LIMO ARRIVES WITH AN IMPORTANT GUEST.

THIS VIP GETS THE RED-CARPET TREATMENT AND IS WELCOMED TO THE PARTY. USING THE FORCE, THE GUEST PARTS THE WEIRDOS BLOCKING HIS PATH LIKE A HOT KNIFE THROUGH WARM BUTTER. SWIFTLY HE MAKES HIS WAY TO HIS FAVORITE PART OF THE BIG ROLLER CASINO. HE'S LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FESTIVITIES.

HE APPROACHES THE IMMERSIVE COCOON DROOLING AT THE THOUGHT OF THE PLEASURES THAT AWAIT HIM WITHIN.

(END OF CHAPTER NINE. WILL THE VILLIAN BE TRAPPED? STAY TUNED.)
