Latica turns to James with a confused glance, "Who is she?" James hesitates to answer he's looking into the casino below him, but she can see that he's looking into something else. "James I've known you for a long time now, and I've seen you in your bar, but I've never known you to fear anything."
the word fear snaps James back into the now, "It's not fear, well not the way you mean it."
"So who is she?" Latica returns her gaze to the tattooed woman. "She's someone from your past isn't she?"
James and Latica have known eachother for a number of years and during that time James has opened up to her. She is one of the few people that knows him to have had two separate pasts.
James turns away from the one way glass and walks towards the bar. Latica keeps looking at her. "Yes, but not from the darker one, Lets just say she was a darker part of the happier past."
with an out of character tone "Ok that was odd, as soon as you walked away from the window she turned back around to the table." Latica turns to face James she has a questioning expression on her face
"Yeah kind of un-nerving isn't it." there's a half hearted laugh in his remark. "She's...Well, we've always been that way."

I was about to send Steph out looking for you...

OH COME ON YOU TEASE...Better not leave me hanging on this one.

I like that line..."She's the darker part of the better one." Good. That's real good. Is she what actually made the better past, better?
I know, I know...lets not get our panties in a bunch. Let's be patient and let the author tell the story.

"Who is she?"

Well... it looks like the world may never know.

Just some chic w/ a village tattoo on her back standing in a casino.
