Jean slowly dragged her tired body over to her bed with a groan, "God what I wouldn't do for a couple of straight answers from these people."
Kara groaned as she slumped onto her bed saying, "You and me both."
After spending a day questioning the older generation of Winnipeg to see if they remembered that faithful day twenty years ago, Jean realized quickly that they made a mistake by going to the older folks of the town, they should have questioned the younger town members instead.
Glancing tiredly over at her companion as she said, "Tomorrow we will go to the diner and try the younger ones, if that doesn't work we could try and find out where Amanda lived at the time."
Kara stared up at the roof saying, "Mmm, what about seeing if her stepfather is still living about here?"
Moving to her elbows as she stared out the window Jean replied, "We can look him up as well tomorrow. I'm to tired to do anything more today all I want to do is sleep."
When she didn't get a reply Jean looked over at the bed next to her only to find that Kara had fallen asleep, with a slight smile Jean laid back down thinking, 'I'll call Logan in the morning.' before she joined her friend in sleep.

Charles smiled as he watched Remy and Scott cuddle on the couch with Logan sitting opposite them with a smug smile on his face.
Feeling someone watching him Logan looked up and saw that Charles was watching him he wondered what Charles was thinking about, he knew that they needed to talk about things such as what his daughter had been like he knew that he'd get more from Remy once they went into his mind and find out what happened that faithful day.
Logan turn his attention back on his son as he heard him laugh, smiling as he watched Scott tickle Remmy's ribs, when he remembered a day long ago of a little boy giggling, "No papa not the ribs, mama papa tinklin' me."
"Logan Dewitt, he's just had his lunch and if you make him sick I swear you'll have to clean the mess up yourself."
"Don't worry Darlin' little Rem's won't puke will ya Kiddo?"
"No papa I won't be sick."
Logan jerked out of his memories only to be caught up in the stunned red and black eyes of his son.
Remy stunned looked over at his father saying, "You remembered somethin' ?"
Logan smile as he told the others what he remembered, "I was tickling you just like Scott was just now but you were about two or three, you called to your mama to help you and she just told me off for tickling you right after lunch."
Remy beamed as he asked, "What did mama do?"
Looking at his son as he said, "I'm unsure."
Remy lean against Scott as he said, "I dink mama would have joined us."
Charles said, "She sure would have, when she was a child she loved to be tickled."
Leaning forward Remy rested his elbows on his knees as he looked over at his grandfather asking, "What was she like as a child?"
Looking at his new found grandson fondly as he took in the way he was perched on the edge of the couch eager to know more about his family, "Well lets see Amanda was a sweet child a holy terror on two legs always into things you had to keep your eye on her at all times or she'd be gone in an instant."
Remy smiled at the picture he could see clearly in his mind, "What she look like?"
Charles smiled as he said, "She was a little imp, her hair lighter than yours with sparkly green eyes just like her mother, I'm afraid to say she was spoiled rotten by me she was my only child after she was born I had my accident and was unable to have any more it was one of the reasons why Caroline left me she wanted more children and I was unable to give her what she wanted."
Scott drew Remy back into his arms when he saw Remy shiver, he looked over at his mentor saying, "Her lost sir she didn't know what she gave up."
Looking over at Scott Charles nodded as he said, "It worked out in the end she got what she wanted I last heard that she had another four children and I got all you and I'm richer for it, now I think it's time to head to bed we have a busy day tomorrow and I want us rested for it."

Adam groan as he woke up glancing about the room he knew right off that he wasn't in his room he was in Raso and standing guard at the door was Raso second in command Mario.
Mario nodded at the younger man saying, "Hey there how ya feeling?"
"Sore. I need to speak to Raso."
"About?"
Adam looked about the room again he wasn't sure if he could tell Mario but then looked back at the taller man saying, "He needs to warn a friend about this guy."
Mario frowned as he stepped closer to the bed asking, "Who does he have to warn?"
Licking his dry lip Adam debated whether to tell Mario, though Mario had never hurt him Adam always kept a safe distance from the bigger man, deciding just to tell his boss and keep the secret that had been in trusted in him he said, "I think I better tell Raso he'd know what to do."
"Just tell me kid the Boss is to busy to run about listening to trivial dribble that me or one of the others can handle."
Nervously Adam chewed on his bottom lip before telling the older man, "I can't."
Frustrated Mario growled, "Just tell me kid before I punish ya for disobedience."
Raso who had heard the raised voice of his long time friend as he came up the stairs and hurried the rest of the way to witness the scene in front of him, stepping into the room he sternly asked, "What the hell is going on here?"
Mario stepped back from the bed as he explained, "The boy wanted to see you and to tell something he thought was important and I was just trying to find out if it was worth wasting your time."
Frowning at his long time friend as he ordered, "Go and wait for me in my office."
Raso watched as Mario left the room without a fight before turning to the young man in his bed shoving his anger away so he could focus calmly moving to the bed he sat in the chair he took note of the fear lingering in the pale silver grey eyes of his boy.
Adam watched as his boss made his way to him he fought the impulse to run and hide knowing that Raso would not hurt him for disobeying Mario he only had to obey Raso at all times and customers during scenes and working hours otherwise he was his own man.
Once settled and sure that Adam didn't feel threaten by him Raso asked gently, "What do you need to tell me little bit?"
Licking his dry lick as he looked his Boss in the eye when he found what he was looking for he began to relax, patting the mattress beside him let Raso know that it was okay to move closer to the younger man. Raso moved onto the bed with a smile once he was settled he opened his arms so that Adam could snuggled into him. Raso nuzzled the top of Adam's head, resting his cheek again Adam's long hair as he asked, "What is this all about little bit?"
Adam groped for Raso hand and lacing their fingers together once he was done he said, "Boss you need to get in touch with Logan."
"Why? You know we can't just call him out of the blue for no reason."
"I know Boss but that guy he gonna hurt Rems."
"He after Remy LeBeau?"
Adam nodded as explained, "And he plans of killing him when he done."
"The man a damn fool if he thinks he can get to Logan's boy and harm him."
Snuggling deeper into Raso side as he sighed in total bliss, he felt sleepy closing his eyes and let sleep over take him.
Raso smiled as he felt Adam go limp in his arms moving quietly he got off the bed and straighten the blankets about the sleeping man as he whispered, "Sweet dreams Little bit." Then tiptoed out of the room and closed the door quietly, leaning against the door he closed his eyes and spoke aloud, "I promise that no body will ever hurt you again Little bit." With his mind made up he pushed away from the door and strolled off to deal with his second in command and to warn an old friend of the danger coming his way.
Entering his office he ignored Mario who was standing beside the door waiting for him till he was standing beside his desk resting against the desk on one hip he asked, "What were you thinking? You know you don't have the right to punish any boy without my permission."
Mario stared at Raso as he replied, "I was checking to see if the boy was wasting you time."
"That's not a good reason to threaten the boy he has the right not to explain to you why he wanted to see me, you know by now that Adam never asks to speak to me without a reason. Why this time?"
"I told you boss some of the boys have told me that Adam has demanded that he speak to you for no reason, he has to learn that you can not drop everything just to coddle him."
"Ahh you mean Jackson and Jaja have told you, do you know that those two are jealous of Adam?"
Frowning Mario asked, "Sir?"
Smiling Raso smugly replied, "Those two boys are so jealous of Adam and what he means to me and will do anything to undermine Adam all the time and they have tried to get my boy into trouble. I think it's time to deal with them. Oh and Mario next time ask me or Adam if it's true I will not have anyone undermine me or mine again. Also spread the word among the members Adam is now off the market."
Not all that surprised by the news he asked, "How long?"
"For good. I'm taking him away for awhile till things have settled down and to let him heal it's time to tell him. You're not to get in touch with me unless it's vital."
"When are you going?"
"Tomorrow." Raso smiled as he moved to sit saying, "I'll let you deal with the brats as you see fit but make sure that they can still work."
Mario grinned he knew what his boss was saying and he was giving his permission to deal with the two boys. With just a nod Mario left the office and went out to seek the two trouble makers.

Raso waited for his office door to close, picking up his private line and punched in a number tapping his fingers as he waited for the other end to pick up. "Logan it's me. . . That great. . . Bet ya proud as punch. . . Look there is a reason I'm calling, my boy had a run in with a man who after your kid. . . Yeah we're coming I need Blue to check on Little bit, the Bastard did a real job on him and I want in. . . Yeah We'll be there tomorrow morning sometime. . . Yeah I think this man has some help from someone. . . You don't say? Creed that old bastard in town again? Ya would think he would know by now to stay away. My people are looking into this as well but they don't have the same connections we have. Okay see ya tomorrow then give that kid a hug for me." Hanging up the phone Raso shook his head as he muttered, "Fuck it. If it don't rain it damn well pours." Picking up the phone again he began dialing, "Yeah it me I'm heading out of town for a bit I need ya to check into some things for me, I'll fax over the info and you can sent it over to Logan on his private number." Hanging up Raso picked up a file from his desk and walked over to his fax machine writing a brief message on the front he sent it off, he waited long enough to get a comfirmed notice before leaving his office.
