Chapter 7

Wolverine and Sabertooth arrived in the station parking lot around the same time. As soon as they parked, they sized each other up.

"Why am I not surprised they sent you, Runt?" Sabertooth growled.

"Because they knew I could fix whatever you screwed up, Old Man." Wolverine shot back.

"That'll be enough now, boys." said the Captain of the Mounties walking out of the station.

"Hey, Paul," said Wolverine.

"You do realize we're both older than you? A considerable amount older." said Saberthooth.

"Ya, I know, it just doesn't seem to register. You two wouldn't happen to have seen Zeek anywhere, would you?"

"No. Is he still trying to train that mare?" asked Sabertooth.

"OH SHIT!" yelled Zeek as he was dragged through the parking lot in his uniform, although he had lost the hat somewhere along the way, by small black mare.

A crash came from inside the station.

"Don't tell me Bob and Larry are still at it," said Wolverine.

"What the sons I never wanted? The two of you should know, eh? You're in here enough."

"Of course we're in here all the time, Paul, how many other stations are run by a telepath? Every time one of us gets in trouble you come and find us." Sabertooth commented.

"C'mon the kids are in cell B." said Paul.

"Let's make 'em sweat it out some more," said Wolverine.

"You do realize they're still asleep." said Paul.

"I hope they enjoyed it," said Sabertooth with a snicker, "because where they're goin' the lectures are gonna rage on fer weeks."

"Well, if where they're goin' is that bad allow me to buy them some time. Lets go crack open a Molson er two."

Meanwhile Lance and Kitty were in dire need of a GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) System.

"Lance are you sure you know where you're going?" Kitty asked as she watched the trees go by out the window.

"Of course I know where I'm going!"

"Maybe we should have asked back at that gas station."

"Kitty, for the last time I don't need directions and even if I did I wouldn't be able to ask anyone we're in a completely French speaking section."

"Fine, you don't need directions." said Kitty dismissively.

"See, there's the sign for the police station." said rather pompously, "Men don't need direction!"

"Like at the rate your going this man won't need sex either!"

"Just kidding, Ha ha, what you don't know a joke when you hear it?" Lance said nervously.

---------------

It was nearly two thirty, Remy and Rogue were still asleep. The only problem with the peaceful scene was that now all the beer was gone.

"I almost don't want to wake the little monsters up." Paul admitted, "When they're asleep is the only time things are actually quiet minus Bob and Larry of course."

"Tell me about it," said Sabertooth, "but all things have to come to an end."

Logan cleared his throat, "STRIPES!"

THUD! Remy and Rogue hit the cement floor hard and fast, landing in a tangle of limbs, blanket and chain.

The dynamic duo looked up at a very unwelcome sight.

"Ahg, get offa me, Swamp Rat!" yelled Rogue as she shoved Remy off to the side and leapt to her feet, "Logan?! Whah are you here?"

"The question is what are you doing here?" Logan growled.

"Ah have a perfectly logical explanation for whah Ah'm in this cell." Rogue trailed off.

"Glad to hear it, Stripes. What is it?"

"Uh. . . . Remy whay don't you tell him how we got here."

"Oh, so Chere only likes Remy when he can help her?" said Remy with mock emotional damage, crossing his arms as he turned his back to her.

"Did you hit yer head or somethin'? We're in this mess because of you and yer stupid mystery woman!" yelled Rogue.

"Perdon?! Cher, could've hit de brake at any time!" Remy flew around to face her.

"And what throw myahself headfirst into the road!?"

"That'll be enough, time to go," said Paul as he unlocked the door.

Both Remy and Rogue sprang forward as Paul opened it.

CLANG! The door slammed shut.

"You two are the first who have refused to leave a cell, c'mon," said Paul as he attempted to open the door again.

"NO!" Remy and Rogue yelled simultaneously pulling the door shut again.

Paul tried to suppress a laugh.

"You don' get it" Remy insisted.

"If you give us to them we will diah long and painful deaths!" Rogue explained.

"What those two?" asked Paul, "I wouldn't be too concerned, they're sportsmen, they'll give you a head start, then hunt you down. Although that chain will slow you down."

"I don't know about the runt over there, but I won't be hunting anything until Mystique is finished with him." said Creed.

Rogue cringed just at the sound of her foster mother's name.

"Tell Gambit, she not be waitin' back 'ome."

"Ok," Creed shrugged.

Gambit shuddered.

"How much is this gonna coast?" asked Wolverine.

"I thought you already paid." said Paul rather confused, "My records show they both made bail earlier this morning."

BANG! The door to the station flew open to reveal Lance and Kitty fully armed with 60-caliber pistols.

"What the hell?!" Logan growled.

"Merde, Gambit tink you lost your minds."

"How did you clear customs?" asked Paul.

"We didn't exactly go through customs." said Lance.

"Half-Pint what are you doin' here?" yelled Logan.

"We came to save Rogue and Gambit once we heard you two were sent to get them."

"And where did you get 60-caliber pistols?" asked Creed.

"I know a guy," said Lance slyly.

"Ah changed mah mind open the door Ah've been wanting extra closet space for a long time now!" yelled Rogue preparing to take her roommate with extreme prejudice.

Remy had to practically pry Rogue off the bars, "Easy, Chere!"
"Back Off, Swamp Rat!"
Things were undoubtedly about to get ugly when the fax machine went off.
"Larry, Bob one of you get that!" yelled Paul.
"Kind of detained at the moment, Sir," yelled Larry as he tightened his grip around Bob's trachea.
"Uh, Gambit, is this your mystery woman?" asked Creed holding up a photo of the woman from the nightclub.
"Mon diu, where did that come from?"
"The fax machine, it says she covered your bail and to blame her for your arrest, that she was the one who chained you together." Creed summarized the inscription on the image.
---------------

So, after a little assist from Logan's claws Remy and Rogue were finally able to part company, but the day was far from over. Wolverine took Rogue back to the manor and Lance took Kitty home as well, while Sabertooth took Remy to what he believed to be his last minutes on earth once Mystique got a hold of him.
