    Summary

    As time passes further from his abduction, Pete hears Vegas’ name less and less in the mansion. Nowadays people mostly refer to him only as the devil, sometimes they don't even have to say that, everyone just knows. Vegas is an ever-present ghost, haunting the minds of the people of the major family, but he’s not tangible, he’s an abstract concept.   

    But he is very real to Pete. He refuses to take a spectral form. 

    Vegas sends him letters - no that’s not correct- Vegas sends him plane tickets which he scribbles all over. To Tokyo, Shanghai, Johannesburg, Beirut, Istanbul, Prague, Amsterdam, Sicily, Havana, New York, and to, of course, Las Vegas.

    There is a world map on the wall of the small library in the mansion. Sometimes Pete stands before it, his finger hovering over the city Vegas might be in at that moment, but not touching, never touching.
