- < Take me to Atamulga. And make it fast.> - handing over a fifty dollar bill.
- < Sorry señor, I won't go there for a million dollars. Strange things happen there. The city, it is cursed, amigo!>
Logan got out of the car and asked every other cab driver there if they would drive him. There was definitely something going on there. He finally found a driver willing to take him, but for three hundred dollars. He took it anyway. "Just make it fast" - he said as he lit the cigar he had put out in the airport while in the US. It was a warm, calm night. Same as... well, every night. The cab driver began to throw in some conversation.
- < So - he said - what a strange day, huh?>
- < Why?>
- < Well, no one goes to Atamulga anymore. You are a brave tourist.> - He gets no answer from Logan. "Maybe just a stupid tourist", he thought - < Anyway, two tourists on the same day, going there! Now that's strange.>
"Jubilee" - thought Logan, immediately. He then decided it was time to get some answers.
- < Why is everyone so afraid of that place?>
- < Well, it is cursed señor. There are spirits living there. Whenever the place gets too crowded, they come down the mountain and attack the people. Some of them even look human, but they fly, or lift rocks like feathers! Some go through walls! They are ghosts!>
"What the hell's going on here? That Daniella character better provide me some answers soon". They got to the village. It was a small and rustic town, and by the time he got there, everybody was indoors.
"Now - thought Logan - I'm going into the heart of the forest with a telepath more powerful than any other I've seen before. I must be crazy". They kept walking for about an hour, when Jubilee started to complain. Wolverine tried not to think about anything important, and then runs into Daniella. He grabs Daniella by the neck.
- OK lady. I want answers, and I want them now.
She didn't even blink.
