Chapter 2
A meeting has been called for all of X-Force. Questions are being asked, but no answers can be found. Finally, Cable gets up in front and quiets everyone.
"Cable, why would Deadpool take Sam?" asks Siryn.
"I have no idea, Theresa, but he has and we will get him back," answers Cable.
"First 'Berto, now Sam. Who's next?" asks Rictor, mostly mumbling to himself.
"I said we will get him back, Rictor," states Cable, glancing over at Rictor.
"Where could he have taken Sam?" asks Boomer, bouncing up and down.
"I don't know, but first things first, we'll…" starts Cable, but stops when he hears the holonet turns on and Deadpool is on the screen.
"Hello Nate," chirps Deadpool. "Guess what I got?"
"Deadpool, why did you take a member of my team," demands Cable.
"If you didn't answer my question, why should I answer your's?" pouts Deadpool. Pausing for a moment, Deadpool shrugs his shoulders. "Well, if you really want to know, I was hired."
"Who?" demands Cable, getting angrier.
"Now that's my little secret," replies Deadpool. "But if you want to meet him, come to the same place as we last met and come alone. If any of your team shows up, the kid is a goner."
Before Cable can respond, the connection is broken and Cable is staring at a blank screen before turning to face his team.
"What was that about?" asks Boomer, glancing between the blank screen and Cable.
"I'm leaving," says Cable. Glancing once at Siryn, he nodds to her. "Theresa, you're in charge. Stay here."
"Cable, where are ye going?" asks Siryn.
"Italy," replies Cable.
……………………
Scrdegna, Italy, the ex-base of a man of mystery, a man known only by the name of Tolliver, who is believed to be dead. For a year, he held Domino prisoner here, while an imposter took her place. Cable came to take out Tolliver and discovered the real Domino.
Cable is back again, except this time, he knows a friend is inside. A friend that he considers more than a friend, more like a son. Cable will do anything to get him out.
…………………..
Deadpool looks around upstairs whole keeping an eye on Cannonball, who is tied up and has a mutant restraining collar on. He is wide awake now and watching Deadpool's every move.
"In case you want to know," says Deadpool, pausing for a moment before continuing. "Cable's here."
"Ah heard you talking to Cable," says Cannonball. "Who hired ya to grab me?"
"Why Sam, haven't you figured that out by now?"
Whipping around as much as he can in his chair, Cannonball watch the speaker enter the room.
"Gideon!" says Cannonball, glaring at the immortal mutant. "You were warned away from is the last time. Don't ya ever give up?"
"Sam, you should have realized, I always get what I want," replies Gideon, with a wave of his hand before turning to face Deadpool. "Deadpool, go downstairs and wait for Cable."
Deadpool leaves the room without a backward glance. Alone with Cannonball, Gideon can't contain his pleasure anymore and a large grin appears on his face before he schools his features once again.
"After Deadpool takes care of Cable, no one will be able to help you. First I must study you, then once that is done, I will kill you," explains Gideon.
