Chapter 9: Are we there yet?

Alex sat watching out the window his eyes memorized every piece of this jet, there were three parallel scratches on the last window (problem from Logan). On the third seat on the right there was a stride gum wrapper. It all seemed like a prison. Remy had tried for the fifth time to start a conversation, "Yah been to New Orleans?" His Cajun drawl was hard to ignore.

"No, but it already is ranked low on my place to visit." Alex said looking to his phone seeing a text message. He flipped it open, Becca was trying to text him.

'I had lots of fun last night 3' she had sent him.

'Yeah me too.'

'What was wrong last night?'

"It's really not that bad. Personally bad for me but its nice, you know other people like it." He said still trying to break the silence.

"I bet." Alex turned to the window looking at the clouds they were passing.

'Nothing don't worry' he sent her back.

'Okay…I don't think they liked me.'

'Don't worry hun, they'll get over it.' He hit the send button before he realized, when he gets Roxy back. Will they still be broken up? Was it her? Unaware that his questions were said out loud Remy began to answer.

"I guess you will just have to ask your Chere. What do you want?"

Shocked Alex looked at him, 'is he physic now too?' "What? Um I guess I don't know. Becca is nice." He let his words trail off.

"Are you saying you don't love Roxy anymore?" Scott now started in on their talk.

"No, I do, I think. I just don't know where Becca lies."

"When you see her I think you'll figure it out." Beast said with a grin already knowing the ending.

Alex turned off his phone and tuned them all out leaving his thoughts in his head. Holding a piece of paper slowly ripped of small pieces he was aching to see her again. But unsure what to say, he tried to focus on what to say. His mind kept flying back to the 'what happened', and 'where is she'. It seemed like forever, but slowly the ground was getting closer. Scott tried to land the jet in untouched land. Slowly everyone felt it sinking. Beast spoke up, "I don't think we can land here."

"Drop us off; the land is all like this." Remy said.

"Okay Remy and Alex go look for her call if you need us. When you get her call and we will pick you up." Scott said his eyes locked on his brothers.

Alex got up out of his seat quickly as he stepped out his feet sunk slightly into the muddy ground. Remy seemed not to be phased as he explained, "It must have just rained." The pair walked quickly through the woody Louisiana; they soon saw the back of a bar. As they walked along side it, the scene changed. The sun was setting and everything was light up. Alex stepped on the street everything was alive in this town. He looked to Remy who was watching everyone who walked by. Alex finally asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ah told yah I made some good enemies here. The people known as dah Rippers, more then dislike like meh'" he explained keeping his voice low. "How are we going to find her?"

"I don't know I didn't think of anything yet, did you?"

"No, great, let's start asking folk." Remy then stopped, "do we have a picture?"

"Uh, Yeah," Alex opened his photo and flipped to her picture in a bikini on beach. Remy rolled his eyes and walked into a convenience store. The clerk there gave the same answer 20 other stores, and hotels would give, "No, sorry." Running out of places they even tried a bar. When Alex went to the bar tender, he opened his mouth and the guy answered. "Look I doubt your 21—"

"No," flipping open his phone to the picture, "Have you seen this girl?"

With a chuckle he said, "Mmm she is nice lookin' thing." Alex had had enough reaching over the counter he grabbed his collar. With that the whole bar turned to Alex and Remy. Everything stopped no-one talked just stared. Remy put his hand on Alex's shoulder, "Stop it." One guy pushed his way to the bar and looked at Remy. With a chuckle the rough guy said, "Look who came back, where is your girl?"

Remy looked to this thug, "Leave meh now."

"Ah feel that dah boss would be mad if Ah did."

"I got rid of you once—" Remy started to say. Alex stopped and put down the bar tender and stood behind Remy. Alex stared at this man, he looked no more then a thug but Remy knew him.

"Yeah but now we have a new toy." He laughed and grinned. He was proud of their "new toy."

"We both know that Ahm good, better then any new gun." Remy said hoping to hide what he meant.

"She is like you, only not, but kinda." His words trailed into a rambling mess, he no longer could try to sound clever. Remy looked over his shoulder to Alex. His eyes were wide and he moved closer. Remy put his arm out to stop Alex.

"Ah doubt it." Remy added with a smug grin. Alex shot him the 'what the hell' look.

"She'll make yah cry."

"Really? Bring meh to her." Remy said.

He was unsure if he had just been tricked or not, the thug made his way to the door. Remy and Alex followed quickly after and out on the street. When they hit the street the thug was. They couldn't find where he went.

"Great plan genius!" Alex barked.

"Hey, now you stop that. Ah found where she is didn't ah?"

"Well lead the way." Alex said angrily then added, "your probably the reason they took her."

"Do yah want to start this?" Remy stopped walked and turned to him.

Okay so another shorty sorry. I know my description of New Orleans is very off I have never been there, clearly. Enjoy I am trying to slow it down, I have ideas and don't wanna rush.
