Summary: Shalimar and a young girl are trapped in a collapsed building.
~~~
Shalimar looked around the old building. She and Brennan were supposed to be meeting a new mutant who wanted to go into the underground but they had been waiting for almost an hour and there was still no sign of the new mutant.
"Adam I don't think this guy is gonna show" a frustrated Brennan said into his comm. ring
"Give it a little longer Brennan they sounded pretty desperate when they contacted the hotline" replied Adam
"Alright" he replied breaking the link.
"What's the matter got a hot date?" jokingly said Shalimar who silently hoped he didn't
"No I just don't feel like wasting my Friday waiting for someone to show up"
Shalimar was about to reply when she heard a noise. Letting her eyes go feral she scanned the immediate vicinity but saw nothing. She was about to let it go when she heard it again.
"Even I heard that" added Brennan as the two moved to check it out
Out of nowhere a young girl popped out of the shadows running directly into Shalimar nearly knocking her over before continuing to run away.
"What do you think she was running from?" asked Shalimar
Turning to the direction where the girl came from Brennan could make out three men armed with guns. "Something tells me we are going to find out" he said letting the familiar electricity come to life in his hands. "I'll take care of them go find the girl" he told Shalimar who nodded and took off in the direction the girl took
Seeing Shalimar move in the direction of their target the men began to advance towards them.
"Bad move boys" Brennan said as he extended his hands letting the electricity shoot out taking down two of the three men. The third guy lunged at Brennan but he quickly blocked the man's move and pushed him into a nearby wall. "This could be interesting" he said to himself as he readied himself the man's next attack
~~~
Shalimar moved deeper into the building following the scent of the girl who bumped into her. "I'm not going to hurt you" she said into the darkness "my name is Shalimar and I only want to help you" Hearing some sniffling come from behind her, Shalimar turned around moving toward the alcove in the corner. Using her feral eyesight she could see the girl curled up in a ball on the floor crying softly. Slowly moving toward her, so not to spook her, she gently put her hand on the girl's shoulder. Feeling a hand on her shoulder the little girl immediately flinched and tried to back away "hey it's ok I'm not going to hurt you. What's your name?"
"Allison" she whispered while wiping the tears from her eyes
"Why don't you tell me why you were running from those men?"
"They..." she started but never finished because the building began to shake

TBC....Let me know what you think.
