Jade Chan & Heading to Santa Carla

In Santa Carla

Her amber eyes sparkling with excitement and her chin-length onyx hair flowing in the wind, Jade Chan was heading down the road, her red shoes tapping against the sun-baked ground. She hoped she would find some great adventures waiting for her in Santa Carla. She had somehow gotten the impression that something big was about to happen or was happening already (although she doubted that last part).

As she passed by the “Welcome to Santa Carla” sign, she took a moment to stop and look at the words in red spray paint on the back of the sign.

Murder Capital of the World

What on Earth does that mean? she asked herself as she turned and walked down the road, thinking over the words in her head.

But then she remembered the promise she had made to herself that she would find adventures in this town, and she allowed herself a slight, cautious grin. Whatever the phrase meant, it sure wasn’t going to stop her from having fun anyway.

Nope, not one bit.
