Jacqueline Belew has a secret.
Jackie is foster mom to five special needs children. That isn’t her secret.
Jackie loves these children very, very much. That isn’t her secret.
Jackie’s nickname is Jackie Blue, given to her by the children. That isn’t her secret, either.
Jackie Blue's secret? She knows the outcome of any game of chance. Any game. She uses this ability to win small amounts of money to assist in raising and caring for these special needs kids. She tries to never win more than she needs, since she doesn’t want to abuse her ability.
Someone has noticed her gift, however.
The Giambini crime family has noticed what Jackie can do. And when this desperate crime family decides to kidnap Jackie to be their golden goose, the children hire Joey Justice and Justice Security to rescue her.
Things turn deadly very quickly.
Even Jackie didn’t see that coming…

Vincent Lambosa enjoyed his job.
Vincent was an enforcer for the Giambini mob in the city. He had started when he was sixteen as a numbers runner for a local bookie. Occasionally, the bookie would dispatch Vincent and another guy to visit welshers to “discuss payment options” with them. Vincent threw himself into his work quite vigorously, which resulted in a near one hundred percent “collection” record. This perfect record caught the attention of people higher up in the organization. These people began keeping an eye on Vincent.
When Vincent was eighteen, he was invited to meet with Leo Lesko. Lesko was in charge of a string of bookies in the organization, which made him Vincent’s boss’s boss.
Vincent met with Leo in a booth at McFeely’s Bar on Third Street. McFeely’s, referred to as “McFeelme’s” on the street, was known for serving hard drinks to harder customers, and had been in the same location for fifteen years at the time of the meeting. Third Street had become seedy, and was just beginning to earn its nickname of “Hooker Hollow”.
“Vincent,” said Lesko, who gestured for him to sit down. “Thanks for coming.”
Vincent nodded his acknowledgement, then sat across from Lesko.
