Two days later, we arrived in Louisiana. Johnny asked around town and found out where we could find a guy called Remi Laboux, otherwise known as Gambi. just by his name, I could tell he was a charmer [as we all know gamblers usually are] Turned out we could find him in an alley casino, playing cards towards the back. The guy we fount that out from, yeah, as it ends up he lost 12,ooo dollars to Gambit in a card game about a week back. Call me crazy, but I'm thinking that I wouldn't go for a large bet against a guy with that nickname. [but thats just me]

Logan parked his bike, as did Johnny, outside and they taled up a scheme about how to approach this guy. I rolled my eyes and walked right in. All eyes fell on me immediatly. "Well Wade was right, toating around a couple of sword will certainly get you noticed." i thought as I scanned the joiny. Obviously Logan didn't notice me gone yet, or he would be flipping shit, running in here trying to find me. I saw him. A man in the back at a poker table, manipulating the cards. I smiled. It was kinf of cool after all. I rolled on up, people moved out of the way for me, I thought it was nice of them. [they probably thought I was crazy or something.]

I took a seat at the table, his eyes were over my body twice before I sat down. "Deal in a pretty lady?" I asked batting my eyes a couple times. He leaned forward with a sly smirk playing his lips.

"Only if that pretty lady," He reached out grabbing my hand, placing a soft kiss on the back of it. "will give me the pleasure of telling me her name." He finished. [see, charming...] His accent was smooth.

I smiled. "Only if you're the guy I think you are." I said sweetly. He nodded for me to continue. "Remi Laboux?" I asked.

He laughed. "Only if I don't owe you money." I laughed in return.

"Well, you don't owe me money sir." I said politly. I felt my eyes begin to burn, "but I would appreciate a little information." I said venomously. His smile faded and he asked everyone around the table to leave. They obliged. I looked towadrs the door to see Logan and Johnny running in. He was going to storm over, but I shook my head non-chalantly, and they moved to the back, obviously because they thought this guy was going to run.

I turned my gaze back to Gambit. "What can I do you for?" he asked, still playing the smooth card.

"I have a few questions..." I began. "about a man named william Stryker." He gave me a dangerous glare. "Don't get all jumpy." I said defencivly. "Me, and a couple of my friends, are out for blood from that man. Hes fucked us harder than you could imagine..."

"Oh I think I have an idea." He said drinking his burbon down. "You don't know the hells that man put me through." He said getting angry.

I lit a smoke. "Well thats good, because you don't know the hell I'm about to put him through, now lets call it even." he sighed and nodded. I noticed that Logan and Johnny had both moved outside. "Thats strange..." I thought to myself. I turned my attention back to Remi though. "I need to know where the island is, the place he takes all of the mutants after he captures them." I spit out straight forward.

He huffed. "You're asking a heavy favour pretty girl." He looked away, like he was going to say no. "What did he do to you? And how do I know you're really going to kill him and not just trying to bring me back to that hell hole?"

"You make a good argument." I said putting my smoke out. "William Stryker killed the man I loved, after making us comit sins that even the devil himself would turn away from." I grabbe dhis bourbon, poured a shot and drank it down. "My friends? Well its about the same story, we were all on the same team. We all quit around the same time, then he killed my lover, killed my friend Logan's lover and Johnny just wants to see him dead." I explained rather quickly. I was beginning to get worried about Logan and Johnny.
