(Razor Back)

In British Columbia, Canada, in the Northern Rocky Mountains, at bar called Razor Bar. Zoe was sitting at a table in the back, having a few drinks, and watching crowed people and cage fighting. She thought about getting into the cage and fighting. As the night went on, Zoe's curiosity grew, and she found herself drawn to the adrenaline and intensity of the fights. The cheers of the crowd and the sound of fists hitting flesh fueled her desire to step into the cage herself.

Zoe's cellphone started ringing. She reached into her pocket, pulled it out, and noticed Logan's name appeared on the ID. She answered it and said, "Hello, sweetheart, You miss me?" Logan said, Hello! Darlin." He then asked her how her night was going, and Zoe couldn't help but share her newfound interest in cage fighting. Logan chuckled and replied, "Well, be careful what you wish for, Darlin." Zoe said, "What are you come, and show me how it's done."

When Zoe heard Victor's voice, he started to demean Logan by saying, "Jimmy gave me that phone." Logan said, "No! Talking to Darlin." Zoe started laughing. Until the front door opens, her scent kicks in: beer, sawdust, smoke, perfumes, and a few more orders. Her eyes are locking on her target the way a hunter would lock on its prey. As Victor's voice faded into the background, Zoe hugged her cellphone without saying a word. Turning off her cellphone, she wouldn't think that nothing would get between her and her hunter.

As she watched, the man walked over to the bar and started ordering himself a drink. Zoe knew it was time to act. With a determined look on her face, she got up from her seat and moved around. She approached the man at the bar and smoothly slid into the seat next to him. She gave a sexy smile without showing her fangs. As men turn to Zoe and are intrigued by her boldness.

The man said that his name was John Maxwell." Zoe introduced herself as Emily with a confident charm, knowing this was the beginning of her plan to extract valuable information from him. Zoe knew that he was her target.

As the hour passed, Zoe's cellphone went off a few times. But she never answered it. She had sent it to voicemail. Zoe was fully focused on her mission, subtly steering the conversation towards the topic she needed information on. The man seemed captivated by her charisma, making it easier for Zoe to manipulate the situation in her favor.

Until Mr. Maxwell asked, "If she would like to have sex in his hotel room?" Zoe licked her lip and said, "I would love to have sex with you in your hotel room." This was not part of Zoe's original plan, but she knew it was a necessary sacrifice to obtain the information she needed. She hoped that by agreeing, she could quickly gather the information and make her escape.

They both left the bar and headed to the hotel room. The man didn't know that Zoe had other plans. Once they arrived at the hotel room, Zoe quickly scanned the room for any clues or information that could help her with her mission. She was determined to stay focused and not let anything distract her from her goal.

Mr. Maxwell closed the door and locked it. Before he could turn around to face her. Zoe springs into action. She swiftly grabbed a nearby cord from the lamp, wrapped it around his neck, and started to strangle him. Zoe knew she had to act fast before he could overpower Mr. Maxwell. With adrenaline pumping through her veins, she tightened her grip and didn't let go until she was sure he was unconscious.

Zoe dropped Mr. John Maxwell to the ground and started going through his things until she discovered the disk her boss was looking for. Zoe knew, once she got the blue disk in her possession, that her new Mafia boss had ordered her to assassinate the man.

She was going to hag Mr. Maxwell from the beam about his floor, so she snatched the bed-sheet from the bed to give the impression that he had hung himself. Zoe quickly planted the bed-sheet in a way that made it look like Mr. Maxwell had committed suicide, following her boss's orders to the letter. Satisfied with her work, she left the scene without a trace, knowing she had completed her mission successfully.


(Victor Apartment)

Logan and Victor went back to their apartment. "Jimmy, did you forget to lock the front door?" Victor approached the door knob and inquired as he opened the front door, noticing that it was unlocked. Logan answered, "Vic, you were the last person out the door." They heard music coming from the kitchen and recognized the smell of gumbo with their smells.

Logan and Victor exchanged glances. They became suspicious of who might have entered their apartment when they learned that neither of them had left the door unlocked. They stood ready for an altercation as they moved warily in the direction of the kitchen. Logan and Victor watch as Zoe prepares her signature gumbo in the kitchen.

Logan and Victor could smell the aroma filling the room, and their lips were watering for dinner. Zoe grinned as she looked up and heard Victor and Logan say, "I hope you are hungry." "Because I made my famous gumbo." Victor and Logan entered, with Zoe offering him a taste of the gumbo as it simmered on the stove. Logan couldn't resist and eagerly accepted, savoring the rich flavors that he knew would soon be filling his belly.

Victor moved behind Zoe, wrapping his arm around her waist, while Logan was getting a taste of the gumbo. Logan peered up at Zoe, seeing that she was wearing a colorful apron with a pattern of crawfish and jazz instruments. He chuckled at the sight, not knowing that Zoe's love for New Orleans cuisine ran deep.

While Victor was sniffing the air, he caught the scent of female hermons and realized that his mate was just going into heat again. Zoe winked at him playfully, knowing that her gumbo always had a way of bringing people together. Victor leans down close to Zoe's ear and said, "Jimmy, our little mate has gone into heat again."

Logan peered up at Victor and sniffed the air. He soon realized that his Darlin had gone into heat again. Zoe had turned back to gumbo, started putting in Shimp, and said, "Both of you are going to have to wait until gumbo is done before you both have some." Victor chuckled and replied, "It looks like we'll have to be patient, Jimmy." The two men exchanged knowing glances, eagerly anticipating the meal that would bring them all together.

Zoe asked, "Did you bring any wine?" Victor walked over to the icebox, opened it, and pulled out a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. Zoe peered up from the gumbo to see the name of the bottle and said, "No!" "Never serve red wine with gumbo." Good thing that I brought some and have it chilling in the icebox on the left side of the middle rack." "Gumbo is always served with Sauvignon Blanc, a white wine in Cajun cuisine." Victor smiled, placed the wine back in the icebox, and grabbed a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc instead. "Thanks for the tip," he said, pouring glasses for Zoe, Logan, and himself before returning to the table to enjoy their meal together.

As they savored the delicious pairing of gumbo and Sauvignon Blanc, Zoe shared some interesting facts about wine and food pairings with her friends. The evening turned into a lively discussion about different cuisines and the perfect wines to accompany them. Both Victor and Logan discover that Zoe knew the different wines that go great with each cuisine in New Orlenas.

Victor said, ""That run Zoe bubble bath while Logan goes fix the guest room for the night." Victor had gone into the bathroom while Logan went into the guest room to fix it for Zoe. Zoe peered down at her cellphone, seeing that text message from Deadpool informing her that she had a job in New York. Zoe sent a text, jumped up, grabbed her bag, and dashed for the front door, leaving a note next to the bowl.

Victor came back into the living room, noticing Zoe had disappeared from the dining table. But he notices a note next to the wine glass. Victor walked over to the table, picking up a note and reading it to himself.

"Sorry! Something came up, and I had to leave."

"Thank you for the first date." "Call you later."

Hayley.

Victor sits down at the table, pours him more wine, and takes a drink. He smiles to himself, feeling hopeful that Hayley's abrupt departure was not a sign of disinterest. As he sips his wine, he looks forward to the possibility of a second date with her. Logan walked into the bedroom and said, Guest room ready. When he noticed Zoe had disappeared, Logan asked, "Where is Darlin?" Victor handed a handwritten note to Logan to read.

Logan read the note and said, "Darlin, thought it was our first date." Victor said, You know that our next date with our little mate will have to be better than a home-cooked meal." Logan said, "It's cute!" Darlin wants to show off her cooking skills." Victor chuckled and replied, "She's a keeper, that's for sure." Logan nodded in agreement and added, "Our next date will have to knock her socks off." Victor smiled and chuckled, knowing that statement had two meanings.
