(Dirty Little Secret)
Logan and Victor showed up at the deserted warehouse, where they were meant to meet a few days later. Logan questioned, "Why did we come here?" Victor replied, "We came here to meet someone who might have information on upcoming job opportunities." Logan responded, "It's an odd place to meet someone for job opportunities, but let's see what happens." Unbeknownst to Victor and Logan, they had found themselves at Dirty Little Secret, a seductive nightclub located in a perfectly normal-looking warehouse on the western edge of New Orleans.
They wondered what secrets awaited them as they walked out of the Victor SUV and toward the front door of the nightclub, feeling both anxious and eager. Victor's phone began beeping to notify him that Zoe's phone was on and being used. Victor dug into his coat pocket, took out his phone, opened the app, saw that Zoe's phone was on, and found out that she was in the warhouse.
Logan asked, "Something wrong?" Victor said, "You are not going to believe that Zoe is inside the warehouse. Here we are to meet our contact for our next job." Logan said, "Who are we meeting for the next job?" Victor said, "Anderson." Gambit said, "He's the best in the business. " "I can't wait to see what he has in store for us."
Victor and Logan walked up the steel door as Victor reached up to knock on the door. The door opened, and a tall man with a mussel asked, "Password!" Victor said, "'Excellence!" The man nodded his head, stepped inside, and said, "Welcome to Dirty Little Secret."
Both Victor and Logan stepped inside to find themselves in the lobby. Seeing the lobby with red wall paper, dark wooden floors, and vintage furniture, they knew they were in for an interesting evening. Founding counter with two young, lovely women working the front counter with two doors on each side of the door.
As they came to the counter, a blonde woman asked, "Sir, how can I help you tonight?" Victor said, "We are here to speak, Mr. Anderson, to discuss a business proposal." A blonde head reached towards the phone on the counter, ready to make a call. She dialed the telephone and waited for someone to answer on the other end. Turn back and ask, My, I asked your names, please." Victor said, Victor Creed, and Logan Howlett."
Blonde said, "Mr. Anderson, This is Sarah from the front desk." "Mr. Creed and Mr. Howlett have arrived to speak with you." "Please send them up to my table." Mr. Anderson replied. Sarah said, "Yes, sir!" Sarah quickly hung up the phone and made the necessary arrangements. As the door was open, she said, "Please, fellow me!"
Victor and Logan followed, and Sarah threw the door next to the next counter on the right to find them in the underground nightclub. When both noticed the scent of alcohol and cigarette smoke filling the air and the strong scent of female hormones, they knew they were in for a wild night, and soon they could find their girlfriend in an ocean of faces.
Logan spotted Zoe sitting at a table with a young female having a drink together while taking in the live action on stage, realizing that their girlfriend was truly in her element. Zoe sniffed the air, slowly moving her head to notice both Victor and Logan following behind the woman at the front desk, and she gave them a puzzled expression.
They were taken to their VIP area by Sarah. Logan and Victor are both interested in seeing who Zoe is sitting with. Logan had the impression that he knew her from her hair color—brown and white—because it made him think of Rogue. But given what had transpired on Liberty Island five years prior, he was certain that it couldn't be Rogue. By the way, the machine blew up with her still inside. Knowing that the income would be high if they obtained his job, Victor was sinking in bushiness. Logan, in the meantime, had some knowledge of girls. So make plans to discover her identity.
Logan turned to face Victor, who stated, "Let me do all the talking." Logan turned to Victor and said, "Alright!" "Afterward, let go see Zoe and her friend." "What are you planning, Foursome?" said Victor. Logan responded, "Get your mind out of the gutters and let me worry about that, with a smirk on his face. Mr. Anderson vanished into the VIP area for a ten-minute business meeting.
(Old Friends)
Logan and Victor departed the VIP section. Both are looking through the packed music hall for Zoe and her small pal. They discovered that they were still seated at the same table, laughing and ignoring them while they watched theatrical performances. Logan and Victor walked to one side of the room so that Zoe could spend the remainder of the evening with them.
Logan and Victor stepped to the table, reached down, pulled out their chairs, and sat down. Logan waved over to the waiter to take their orders. Logan sat next to Marie, while Victor sat next to Zoe. Zoe turned her head toward Victor and gave him a sexy smile. Victor couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement as he returned the smile.
Marie turned her head to the man sitting next to her and looked surprised to find who was sitting next to her. "Rogue!" said Logan. "Logan!" cried Marie as she turned to face Logan. Glancing at the young woman, Victor looked surprised that the young mutant had survived what happened five years ago at Liberty Island.
Zoe said, "I guess both of you have met before?" with a curious expression on her face.
Before Logan and Marie could say anything, Victor spoke up and said, "Yes! Five years at Liberty Island." Zoe just looked at Victor and looked for an explanation for what happened. Victor remained silent, avoiding Zoe's gaze and refusing to provide any explanation about what happened.
Marie turned to Zoe and said, "Do you remember when you found me in the harbor?" Zoe said, "Yes!" Both Logan and Victor were surprised to find out that Zoe had discovered Rogue. Marie said, That was the night that Magneto put in a manshin so that everyone in Mutant." Zoe said, "What is Magneto?" Marie hesitated for a moment before answering when Logan said, "His name is Erik Lehnsherr, but he is better known as Magneto." Victor said, "He's a powerful mutant with the ability to manipulate magnetic fields."
Zoe said, "That would be a bounty to go for." Victor, Marie, and Logan looked at Zoe. Marie said, Why would you say that?" Zoe said, "Erik Leehnsherr owns a lot of people's money." "He hasn't paid his do's." "The price on his head if you could catch him would be astronomical."
Victor reached over, pulling Zoe face to face, and said, "Now! Talk about something else." Zoe said, "Shit! Remy here." Marie smiled as she turned to see Remy enter the hall. " Logan and Victor turn to notice Remy and a few men heading straight for them. Until Remy appeared at the table and said, "It's time for you to return to your room." "It's time for you to return to your room, Hayley."
Before Logan, Marie, and Victor could say anything, Hayley felt a needle in her neck and made a reach up to her neck. She tried to stand up but started feeling wielding and stumbing. Victor demanded to know, "What are you doing to her?" Remy said, "This isn't any of your business." "Stay out of it."
Marie said, "This is best for Hayley and will help control her feral side." Marie firmly believed that Hayley's transformation was necessary for her own well-being. Logan said, "Caging an animal isn't the best way to control the animal inside." Remy turned to Logan and said, "Stay away from my little sister or there will be consequences."
Victor realized that something was going on with Remy that he was hiding and planned to figure it out in order to protect Zoe. Marie said, "Sorry! Logan, I hope you understand why Remy has to do this. Hayley." Before Logan or Victor could respond, Remy interrupted, "I've made my decision, and I won't change my mind." He firmly believed that it was the best way to keep Zoe safe. He firmly believed that it was the best way to keep Zoe safe, even if it meant going against his own desires.
Logan turned to Rogue, only to discover Marie and Zoe were already gone. Remy stood in front of both of them and said, "It's best if both stay away from my sister." Remy spun around and walked away, leaving Victor and Logan sitting at the table.
Logan sighed and realized that he would have to find another way to locate Zoe. Victor said, "If Remy thinks going to leave our little mate alone with likes of him, he's sorely mistaken." Logan looked over Victor and said, "Damn Vic, I have never seen you act like this over a woman before."
Victor said, "There is something about Zoe that gets my blood pumbing, and beside, she is the only female feral that we meet." "I can't help but be drawn to her." Logan said, "I know what you mean." "I can't wait to get her legs wrapped around me for a wild night." Victor gave an evil smile as dirty thoughts danced in his head, eager for what the night had in store.
