Sookie quickly made her way across town. She had managed to pull up a map of Colligo on the PDA that was provided when she first arrived. Of course, it only took her three weeks to do so and she wasn't sure she'd be able to locate it again. She never really had been technologically advanced.

It's not like she was stupid, quite the opposite, actually. But Sookie had grown up fairly poor and if it weren't for the basic computer courses the Bon Temps, she really wouldn't have learned how to properly type. Cell phones, laptops, PDAs, none of these held any true value to Sookie. In fact, she felt these things made for things to become impersonal.

As she rounded the corner, the large casino came into view. Sookie had only ever been inside a casino once. Her grandmother had invited her to join a group of Bon Temps elusive Descendants of the Glorious Dead for a field trip to one of the many civil war battlefields scattered across the south. The group had stopped in Marksville and at the insistence of several of the members, they chose to have lunch at the Paragon Casino. While some of the older members hit up the penny slots, Sookie and her grandmother enjoyed a nice meal from the casino's buffet, before window shopping in some of the small boutiques scattered throughout the noisy building.

Sookie felt a pang in her stomach at the thought of her grandmother. It had only been six months since Gran's death and Sookie couldn't help but wish she could bring her here. Realizing how ludicrous her thoughts were, Sookie smoothed her skirt and quickly crossed the street.

As she approached two burly men at the front entrance, guards she assumed, she felt a slight sense of unease. She didn't really know anyone in Colligo and here she was taking a job that she found out about from the wretched PDA. She hadn't let Eric know where she was going. The very thought evoked rebellious thoughts within her. She knew he worried for her and had this desire to "protect" her, but he was really becoming a pain in her rear end.

"Excuse me?" She lifted her chin as she cleared her throat, demanding the attention of the guards. "I'm here to see Crowley? I'm Sookie. Sookie Stackhouse."
