Kurt
and Logan docked and headed for the nearest bar on Madripoor.
This was like Vegas on an island, the richest and the poorest resided there,
along with the long-standing tradition of piratism.
They weren't bad off for being pirates, and like always, they needed some extra
fun after "work".
"But
do you have to wear that," Logan
growled.
Kurt
looked at his pirate garb. The good old black trousers, wide red sash wrapped
around his waist, fluffy white shirt, and wide-brimmed hat set at a jaunty
angle. "What's wrong with it?"
"We
get stared at," he stared down a few of those very business-minding challened people, making them seem to shrink a few inches
in their very bones.
"I
like traditional," Kurt snorted.
"You're
the only one," he muttered, pushing through the door. Taking a seat, they
kept an eye out for any friends or enemies they might have ripped off at one
time or another. The list was small, and they had call to do so, but even
limited enemies could be dangerous. Logan
grabbed a passing redhead in a silken green dress. "Beer, lots of
it," he snarled, swatting her ass.
"Get
your own booze," she smacked his hand away.
"What,"
Logan replied
flatly, staring the young woman right into her bright green and very angry
eyes.
"Oh
boy," Kurt sighed heavily. This wouldn't be the first or last time Logan got them in trouble
for messing with women. He hoped she wasn't here with anyone,
she looked young enough to be accompanied by an older brother or father, but
just old enough to have a very large husband as well.
"I
am not your serving girl," she crossed her arms over her chest, a petulant
pout on her lips.
"For
the right price you'll be just that and anything else I please," Logan showed her a large
sum of money from the inside jacket pocket. The woman instantly changed her
tune, going to get them drinks.
"There.
Now," she held out her slender hand.
"Later,"
he motioned for her to sit.
"I
did your fetchin'."
"You
did it well enough, after you refused-and you struck me."
"I
don't work here, you have no right to grab anybody
just passing by."
"Don't
much care," he smirked.
"Know
what, never you mind. I like the look," she
smiled at Kurt, weaving her way through the crowd.
"Somethin' funny about that
one."
"She
liked my outfit," Kurt grinned happily, leaning back in the chair.
"We
got drinks, that one don't matter until we run out.
Then I'll just grab another. Too bad, her backside felt firm, kinda bouncy...could've had some fun with that one."
"That
one just picked your pocket, I think."
"How
could she, I-" Logan
put his hand into his jacket. "That bitch!"
"I'll
pay this time," Kurt happily put his money down on the table.
Logan shoved through the
crowd, smelling the air. "This way."
"We
aren't hurting for money."
"It's
the principle of the thing."
"We
haven't been much for principles before."
"We
are when they're needed. Now," he sniffed again, catching her scent down
an alleyway.
"Do
you have a bad feeling about this? Because I do," Kurt looked around them
warily.
"If
we didn't, we wouldn't be on Madripoor."
He
sensed her nearby, darting around the corner to grab her by the arm.
"You
owe me money, little girl."
"You
need to let me go."
"Why,"
he gave a laugh that sounded like a bark.
"They'll
shoot you if you don't," she smiled, pointing at eight gunmen above them.
"Shit,"
Logan muttered,
nodding for Kurt to raise his arms above his head while doing so himself.
They
barely had their fingertips to their shoulders when they both crumpled to the
ground unconscious. "Get 'em inside," the redhead instructed.
