The Darkness #17

While in Atlantic City on business, Jackie finds himself depending on the hospitality of Mickey Vern, an underling of Ivan Petrovich. When Mickey starts slapping around a working girl, named Lori Jackie intervenes, causing Mickey to lose face. Later Lori brings Alex Petrovich, daughter of Ivan Petrovich, to Jackie’s room so she can thank Jackie for what he did earlier. In the morning, Jackie and Lori wake up to find that Alex has been killed by the Darkness. Before they can leave the room, Mickey and his men stop them, only this time the Darkness refuses to help Jackie.
