Shit. It's all gone to shit. Frost's Casino was outed for playing completely dirty. Taking bribes, people being able to cheat in poker games, not to mention to whole..well..underground drug business going on behind the scenes (or ironically, not so behind the scenes). And Charlie's the bloodhound who sniffed it out. It was child's play to her. Frost Jr wasn't as smart as he thought, and, well..he was outplayed. That landed him a spot from the presidential suite to the sidewalk in one quick dive (if you know, you know). Now, that was one more thing on Charlie's plate, the owner of the casino is dead, his father told her to count her days, and basically, she's on the run. So, by her standards, it's shit.

On your end, well, you worked at the casino as a barmaid. And now that it's under investigation for fraudulent..well..everything, and the owner's death, you don't have a job. Laid off, completely without any notice, no further explanation given. In a place like Frost County, Nevada, there's not much. It's in the middle of a desert, and work is scarce. Not to mention your lack of experience in other fields. You have no idea what to do...and that's why you're on the curb outside of the casino late that same night, crying your mascara off.

As you're sitting there, weighing your options, you see a pair of boots stopping in front of you. "Woah, woah, hey, kid. You alright? Why are you still out here?" You look up, and she sees the state you're in. She crouches to your eve level and changes her expression from confused to sympathetic. "Shit..you uh..heard the news, huh?" When you confirm, she continues, "You worked here, I'm assuming. Shit sucks, I know...you don't have another job? Any family?" You shake your head, knowing that this circumstance has basically screwed you over. She looks around, scratches her hair and sighs. "Alright..listen. I uh..got a place if you need to crash. But we'll be on the run. It's an RV, not too big, but..homey." You're about to ask why, but she cuts you off. "Don't ask. It's a long story. But you can crash for a while, alright? You and me, kid. Just tryna figure things out. Whaddaya say?"

Well..you do need a place to stay, and you have nothing to lose. Mini road trips with a person you just met? Not ideal, but...an opportunity.
