He sat down at his station, located behind a small group of monitors. With a grin he put his hands behind his head and leaned back in the office chair, closing his eyes. The night shift was always nice and easy, especially in a government office. No one could get by the security system.

He kicked his feet up on the desk, about to doze away when a small noise behind him startled him. He sat up and turned around, deciding he would feel much more comfortable when he checked it out.

He grabbed the flashlight and trudged down the hall, shining the light in all the dark corners, just in case. Satisfied that all was well, he moved back to his station.

Someone was sitting in his chair. She spun around; her red hair framed her face as she grinned wickedly. He dropped his flashlight and reached for his gun, but it was too late. A blow to the head sent him to the ground, unconscious.

Scott poured a bowl of cereal, sitting down at the island in the kitchen and turning his attention to the TV.

The reporter stood with a police officer in front of a charred brown building. The officer held his hat under his right arm, an extremely serious look on his face.

"Hey, turn that up." He said through a mouthful of cheerios.

The screen switched to a shot of the inside of the charred building.

"It appears the intruder was able to make their way past the security cameras, sneaking into here; the room where security guard Alan Roswell had just begun his night shift."

A picture of the man flashed on the screen.

"Alan was found tied up and gagged behind this government building, suffering from only minor injuries. The police have yet to formally question Roswell, but it is clear that he did see one of the suspects before being knocked unconscious. A Caucasian woman, approximately mid twenties with red hair, dressed in black. The police here have begun referring to her as the 'Black Fox'. Back to you Dick." The female reporter said with a nod. The shot switched back to a male reporter in the studio.

"Thank you Cindy. This has been the second terrorist act towards a government building since the mutant research act was approved. We'll have more with Cindy a little bit later, now for your local weather with-"

Storm put the TV on mute and Logan growled slightly. "I don't like the sound a'that."

"You think it's a mutant job?" Scott asked, munching his breakfast as he looked up at Logan.

"It sure looks like it. Ever since the government has started funding mutant research, they're just askin' for someone to bomb them." Kitty shook her head. "Seriously. Who could sneak by those cameras?"

"Apparently someone named ze black fox." Kurt said with a grin.

"All the more reason for our little trip downtown." Bobby nodded, looking at Logan with a grin.

"Downtown!" Kitty giggled "The big city!" She took a deep breath "Start spreadin' the news! I'm leavin' today!" She started singing.

"Ugh. That again! Learn a new trick." Rogue shook her head.

"But it finally makes sense. We are leaving today!" She wined "It's the only day I can sing it."

"That didn't stop you from singin' it yesterday, an' ah'm sure it won't stop you from singin' it tomorrow."

Logan rubbed his temples. This was going to be a long trip.

Kitty finished her extended rendition of 'New York, New York' when they arrived at the hotel. They checked in to their rooms, Rogue trying to convince Logan to let Kitty and her have their own rooms.

"Ah'll even bunk with Gambit an' Bobby… just please don't make me stay with her."

Logan chuckled "Sorry kid. Them's the breaks."

"If y'want… y'could still bunk wit' Remy." Gambit gave her a wink. "Bobby won' mind, right?"

Bobby grinned; he raised his eyebrows at her with a wink. Rogue let out a frustrated breath, grabbing her luggage and stomping up to her – and Kitty's- room.

"So how come you get your own room and we all have to share?" Bobby crossed his arms.

"Because, I'm the boss." Logan smiled. "Get yer stuff."

They all headed to the elevator, making their way up to their rooms.

Kitty danced her way down the hall.

"Yeah, just remember, we're here on business kid."

"Business shmizness." Kitty threw her hand in the air. "I wanna go shopping! If you find a lead, let me know, otherwise, ciao!"

"We do have a lead, that's why we're down here." Logan grunted.

Rogue furrowed her brow. "You didn't say anything about that before…"

He opened his door. "Because you didn't need to know. We're meetin' for lunch." He scribbled down the address on a pad of paper located by the bed. "Make sure you're all there. If not… head's are gunna roll."

Kitty faked a look of concern. "Oh no!"

"I mean it." He narrowed his eyes. "Don't be late."

He closed the door behind him.

If his and Professor Xavier's suspicions were correct, this vacation wouldn't remain fun for too long.

Just a nice little chapter to arouse your sense of curiosity. I think I spelled that wrong. :)
