Wellspring Arms, Saturday Afternoon

[spring_lost]

Cable had relocated downstairs and stayed there after the troopers had left. He was studying the large map at the back of the store intently, as if plotting out routes in his mind, adding up numbers where no one could see.

Maybe he was.

Or maybe he was just lost in thought about... other... things.

Still half-crying but determinedly brushing the tears away, Aly banged on the door to Wellspring Arms. If Wade refused to talk to her and Roy wouldn't tell her the full story, she'd go to someone else who had to be involved.

He was still thinking when the noise penetrated his consciousness; it took Cable a few seconds to turn around. Slowly, he walked towards the door, pulling it open.

And paused.

"Hello, Aly."

"Nate - Cable," she said quickly - and she really, really hated asking him for information. "May I please ask you a favour?"

"Depends on the favour," Cable answered, his tone mild. Maybe a little more so because he had a crying woman on his doorstep. "Go ahead."
