School's In (Open to all Xavier's Students)
Joey walked up to the front gate looked at the damaged building and tried to remember if this was the place that Foxx described when she sent him here. He wasn't sure what this place had to do with finding his mother, but Foxx assured him that he'd learn something valuable here if he knew where to look. He still had trouble believing that this was a place for people like him and wondered if there were more of these places in the world. There certainly weren't any in Australia.

It took a long time for him to decide what scam he'd use to get in, and he'd gone over all of his best ones in preparation. When he finally told Foxx his plan, she just laughed at him.

"Trust me. Where you're going, the best con you can go with is the truth. They'll see right through anything else."

"Not with me, they won't." he said.

"Maybe, maybe not, John. Clever got you this far, but the truth will get you in..."

"I'll take just what I came for , then I'm out the door again." he grinned. He and Foxx shared a love for the same song.

That was three months ago. Now, St. John "Joey" Allerdyce, Jr., was here at Xavier's and on trail of information he wasn't even sure he wanted anymore. He pressed the button at the gate and waited for someone to answer, but the damage to the building didn't give him much hope.

It would be just my bloody luck to get here after they decided to pack up and leave. he thinks.
