As they taunted ‘call” at him, a Jack of Diamonds leaped from the sleeve of his beaten tan leather overcoat and into his hand. The men stared in anticipation as he threw his hand up in the air, landing perfectly in formation card after card in the centre table.
“Din’t y’all think I could win you?” He pushed the chair back from the comfort of his rear and stood, hands cupped to receive his winnings. “And with that, Sirs, I bid you bonne nuit. The night is a lady, and she’s callin’ my name.”
Staff in hand he walked languidly down the hall through a throng of gambling people to his left and right. “Not so fast” a voice uttered from behind him. “Remy”, she looked at him; eyes lost in his purplesque irises for a moment. “Remy” she spoke again, he didn’t turn.
“Mademoiselle, I have no business with you no more.”
“Daddy.” She spoke again in hushed tones.
Gambit turned to look at her, his eyes glowed, and then he was gone.
The girl chose to follow him and to try and stop him in his tracks for his acknowledgement and for his attention. As she spotted him in an alley way she shouted “Don’t go any further PLEASE!!!!!”
Gambit suddenly stopped dead in his tracks and turn around to the girl and said “Mademoiselle, I told you that I have no more business with you no more, and if you try to stop me again I won’t hold back on you”.
“I have a reason to stop you Gambit, you’re my father”
Gambit suddenly went silent, thinking to himself saying “how can I be this girl’s father?” as Gambit kept thinking about this strange occurrence he then asked the girl a question “I’ve never had a child in my life how can you be my daughter?” She then replied “Well you’ll be a father in 5 years time from now but I don’t have time to explain right now you have to come with me immediately or you will end up dying.
Gambit started getting very cautious very suddenly from his mysterious daughters words. He then started to ask 1 more question to the mysterious girl before they make a move “I believe you in being my child but before we move what exactly happened to me in the future?” she then replied with this words “like I said father we don’t have time to ask questions we have to move now!! Before it’s too late but I will answer your question a little bit later.
Gambit nodded his head to her words and started to languidly walk past her saying “we better start making a move then monsharie”. And during that they start making their move to the unknown location.
