Chapter 14

Rogue could get used to this she decided as she powered along the freeway to New Orleans. She liked the speed and the power. She had managed to get quiet far very quickly and she hoped she would get there soon. She had driven for the whole night and had only stopped at daybreak for a quick stop then she was off again. She was now over halfway to her destination and she was beginning to panic. What was she going to do when she got there? Would she even be able to find him? She pushed the fears to the back of her head and carried on towards Remy.

After another few hours of driving she managed to get of the freeway onto the slip road to New Orleans. She knew that she would have to go to the French Quarter. She pulled up outside a little bar, which had a vacant room sign. She went in and asked for the room. She was allowed to rent it for a reasonable price. She was going to go out and try to find Remy but exhaustion overcame her and she curled up on the bed and fell asleep.

After she had slept for a few hours Rogue woke up and saw that it was the middle of the evening. She got up and decided that she would go and look for Remy. She went down to the bar and went out to the street front. The streetlights were on and some of the bars had extra seating out the front, spilling onto the sidewalk. Rogue looked one way down the street and then the other seeing nothing but endless street and turnings that would take days to search. Rogue decided to go to her left and she set of looking this way and that hoping to catch a glimpse of her Cajun.

It was late evening and Rogue hadn't phoned. Kitty hoped that it was just because she had forgotten and not that she was in trouble. Kitty jumped up from her bed and dialled the number of the cell she had given Rogue. After a couple of minuets she heard Rogue pick up slightly breathless.

"Rogue, it's Kitty. Have you like got there yet?" she asked

"Yeah, Ah'm here." Answered the crackly voice.

"Well have you like started to look for him?"

"Yeah, but Ah'm not gonna find him. This place is huge and Ah won't be able to find him. Ah know Ah won't Kit." Answered Rogue her voice full of desperation.

"Like don't give up now, you'll find him. Just think if you were Remy where would you go."

"Ah don't know!" Rogue snapped.

"Well you absorbed his memories didn't ya, just start searching them and try and match a place." Kitty advised.

"Well there is this little place that comes up every so often but Ah don't think he'd be there."

"Well you could like try it and if he is great."

"Well Ah'm gonna go now Kitty, thanks for that." And Rogue disconnected. Kitty smiled and then dialled Lances number to tell him about Rogues little adventure.

Rogue carried on her search full of new confidence. She managed to recall a memory of Remy in a little jazz club with Bella and decided to try there. She took a few turns and managed to find the club. She went in the door and scanned the room. Seeing very little she went up to the bar and asked the tender if he had seen Remy LeBeau. He looked at her suspiciously before telling her he was at a table further back. She thanked him and set off, weaving through the tables. As she got further back she saw the back of Remy and started towards him. As she moved towards him she saw that he was not alone. She moved further along and saw that he was with a blond woman. He was with Belladonna.
