When they reached London, Jean had them put their horses in a stable
and paid for a few days for the horses to be in there while they looked for
Betsy Braddock.
"How do you want to do this?" she asked, looking at Rogue and Kurt.
"You're the one wi' the mind powers!" Rogue said. "Just look for her wi' yer mind!"
"If we were going to be so simple about it, I could have gone alone." Jean pointed out.
"Both of you know it off." Kurt said calmly. "Jean, go and look for her with your mind. It's the fastest way we'll be able to find her now just do it!" Sighing, Jean closed her eyes and she reached out, blocking out everyone else's thoughts except for Betsy's.
She was sitting in the room alone, wondering when her brother would come back from his mission. She was lonely and scared when her brother wasn't there with her. She really wanted him to be there, and she felt like she was going to scream because of the voices coming into her mind all of the time.
"She's scared." Jean said. "She can hear everyone's thoughts and she thinks that it means she's going insane."
"Do you have a place yet?" Rogue asked.
"A tavern." She said slowly. "With the head of a bloody pig as a sign."
"Lovely." Kurt said. Jean nodded a bit, sighing softly as she slowly concentrated more on Betsy's location.
"It's called the Filthy Swine." She said finally. "We need to break up and find the Filthy Swine. When one of us does, we should go up to her room and send out a mental signal to the others and give directions. If I'm not the one to find her, I'll be the one translating to the other.
"Are we all ready for this? Good, let's go."
They split up; Kurt taking the slums, Rogue the marketplace, and Jean taking the nicer part of London.
*** Author's Note: The next two chapters will be the experiences met by the two who do not find Betsy. The third and continuation of the story afterwards is of the one who obviously finds her.
