Emily let go of Will's hands. She opened her eyes slightly. "634 S Mill" She whispered. Her gaze slipped to the side. Her face was blank of emotion. She leaned back in the chair. "Go find them." She said.

He nodded as he stood up. "I'll be right back. You rest." He headed toward Helen's office.

She was on the phone when he got there. "Yes, thank you." She ended her conversation. Looking at Will, she questioned him "Did Emily have any luck?"

"Yes, we have a partial address. 634 S Mill something." Will said stepping into her office. "They're in the same building, locked up. It looks like some kind of old hospital. There's an electrical hum there as well, maybe it's near power lines?" He finished.

Helen looked at him. How could he know what it looked like? "All right, let's see what we can find. Do we know when they are going to move the abnormals?"

"No, Gyer never said anything about that. Only that they have a list of who is going to be moved. There's also some doctor named Graves involved?" He shrugged.

"Graves?" Helen said. "Are you sure?"

"Yea, heard it myself."

"You heard it yourself?" Helen said curiously.

"Yea, Emily took me with her." He paused. "Emily! I need to get back to her. She's not doing good. I think she's exhausted." He turned and rushed back to his office.

Helen was not too far behind him. They entered his office only to find it empty. Emily was no longer there. The two looked at each other. At that instant they heard Kate from down the hallway. "Doc!" She called. "Hey doc!"

Helen headed toward Kate's call. Will following her at her pace. They turned the corner near the elevator to find Kate kneeling next to Emily. She was sitting, leaning up against the wall by the elevator. Emily stared off in the distance. Her eyes glassy with her eyelids drooping. Her pale coloring more prominent. Helen and Will squatted down next to her.

"My god." Helen stated. "She looks exhausted. Let's get her back to her quarters to rest. Emily? Look at me Emily."

Emily's eyes slowly blinked, her breathing was shallow. The trio helped her up and returned her to her quarters.


The sounds of the city quieted as the evening became night. Helen had found the address in question. The team prepared to acquire the abnormals that were locked in the building in front of them. "You sure Sarah will stay with her?" Will asked Helen quietly.

"Yes, Will. Please stop your worrying. Sarah is quite capable of taking care of Emily." Helen looked at the building in front of her. This would be another adventure to add to her journals.

"Let's go kick some butt." Kate said as she grabbed a cushing gun.

"Tranks only, Kate. I don't want any of the abnormals injured." Helen reminded her. She nodded to the team.

The team entered through the front door. It was unlocked; this seemed easier than it should be to Helen. She signaled for Henry, Kate and Declan to go up through the stairs while she and Will stood guard for the moment. They could hear a whistling sound from beyond the hallway. A large man was walking back to his assigned post, the front desk. Instinctively, Helen pointed her gun at him. He had no time to make any sound before the trank hit him. He lay on the floor, unconscious.

Helen and Will headed to the stairs. They were not going to chance using the elevator. As they reached a new floor, Will would open the door and look down the hallway. It was not the right level. What floor were they on?

Finally they reached the 8th floor. Will immediately recognized the hallway he had previously seen Gyer walking down. The team made their way through the hallway quietly. Peeking in each window as they passed the rooms. Their goal was to make sure the abnormals were safe before opening the doors. The sound of footsteps came from down the hall. Kate turned to face the sound. A woman came around the corner, Kate was ready for her. She fired her weapon and hit the women with the trank before she realized what was happening.

From around the opposite end of the hallway came three men with their own set of weapons. The team began their fire fight. It was quick and quiet. After a few quick moments the only ones standing was that of the sanctuary team. Helen motioned for Declan to hold guard at one end of the hall, Kate the other end. The remaining three headed for the office at the end of the hallway.

Upon reaching the door of Frank Gyer, they found it to be locked. Henry squatted down to unlock the door. They were trying to keep it quiet for sake of the abnormals. He quickly unlocked the doorknob. They entered the room. The books were still lying around the room as Will and Emily had seen previously that day.

"We need to find the keys to the rooms." Helen told them.

"Here!" Will said holding up a set of what looked like 20 keys. "It's probably these."

They headed to the locked doors not knowing what they would find behind them.

Will quickly went through the keys and started unlocking the doors. They were at door 12 first. He knew this was where he saw Sharina earlier. Gently he opened the door.

The room was dark. There was an eerie feeling in the air. The air smelled of a fresh rain. Sharina lay on the mattress as she had before. Helen quickly passed him as she entered the room.

"Sharina?" Her words were gentle and calm. "Sharina, I'm Helen. We're here to take you back to Sarah." Helen bent down next to the young girl. Sharina didn't answer, nor did she move. Helen glided her hand to the girls shoulder. With the greatest of ease she slowly turned her to her back.

Sharina had her hands bound in front of her. Her arms covered in purple and red bruises. Helen checked for a pulse, it was strong and steady. "She's unconscious. Will, get the rest."

Will turned and headed to the other doors. Upon reaching number 6, he saw Jacob still lying on his bed. As he was earlier as well, both hands and feet were bound. He lay staring at the ceiling. Hearing the doorknob turn he closed his eyes.

Will walked into the room, tossed the keys to Henry. "Check the other rooms." He told him as he walked toward Jacob. Will reached down and unbuckled the restraints which held Jacob to his bed. Once all four restraints were removed, Jacob opened his eyes and jumped off the bed. He caught Will off guard. Will stepped back staring at the young man. He towered over Will.

"I won't hurt you. Sarah sent us." Will explained.

Jacob looked confusingly at Will. "Sarah?" He questioned. "Sarah?" he looked toward the door. Instinctively Will noticed that Jacob was unsure of his surroundings. His stance was guarded yet weak.

"Yes, we can take you to her."

"Sharina?" he questioned.

"She's in another room. Magnus is with her." Will walked toward the teen. "It's ok." His hand guided the young man toward the door. "Come on." He continued.

Out in the hallway the team gathered themselves. They had found four abnormals, the rest were already gone. Among Jacob and Sharina were two other teenage boys. The young blond boy that had been seen on the video they had previously seen and the other had long black hair which hung in his face.

"Let's get out of here before anyone else returns." Helen said.

Sarah slept in the chair next to Emily's bed. She hadn't been asleep long when her cell phone started to ring. Sleepily she opened her eyes, reached into her pocket and answered her phone. "'ello?" She said in a shaky voice.

She listened intently to Helen's voice on the other end. Her eyes opened wide and her face lit up. They had been found. "Thank you so much Helen." Was all she could manage to say. Tears filled her eyes as she hung up her phone.

She saw that Emily was still resting in her bed. She headed out the door towards Nikki's room. Once reaching the door, she didn't bother to knock. She walked into the room, flipped the light on. "Nikki." Excitement filled her voice. "Nikki, Helen found them."

Nikki sat up with a start. "She did? Are they ok? When will they be here?" Nikki climbed out of bed and embraced Sarah. They were both wide awake now, even though it was only around 2am. The halls of the Sanctuary were quiet. They headed toward Helen's office, waiting their arrival.

Not long after they had seated themselves by the fire, Big Foot entered the room. He grunted "Infirmary. Follow me." He led Sarah and Nikki to where the entire group would be returning. Their wait wasn't too long, when they started hearing noises coming from beyond the infirmary doors.

The first to enter the room was Jacob, walking next to Henry. Jacob saw Sarah and Nikki waiting for them in the room. He looked at Sarah longingly; a small smile came across his face. He walked to her, towering over her tiny frame, he hugged her tight. Nikki joined them and the three of them rejoiced together. "Where's Sharina?" Nikki asked him.

He turned to look at the door. "Helen's with her."

They watched as the rest of the group came into the infirmary. Will walked with the other two young men, followed by Kate. Helen finally entered the room pulling a gurney. Declan was pushing it into the room. Laying on the gurney was Sharina. She was still unconscious.

"Helen?" Sarah questioned. "What happened?"

Helen and Declan brought Sharina over to the medical equipment. "I'm not sure, we need to run tests."

Sarah walked to Sharina; she placed he hand upon the young girl's. Her arms were bruised with puncture marks. Sarah bent down to whisper in her ear. "I'm here baby, you'll be ok." She squeezed her hand slightly. Unexpectantly, Sharina's fingers moved in Sarah's hand. A warm smile crossed Sarah's face. "I knew you were still here with me."

The room bustled with everyone moving about. Helen checked all four of the teenagers they had rescued. None seemed to have any ill affects. Sharina slowly woke up. Helen found that she had been heavily sedated earlier in the day.

* * * * * * * * * *

Everyone was settled, the sun began to peek through the morning clouds. Will yawned stretching his arms wide. No one had realized it was early morning. It must be time for breakfast soon.

Will wandered down the hall toward the guest quarters. His thoughts turned to Emily. She should have gotten a good night's sleep. Once he reached her door, he noticed it was ajar. Opening the door completely, he saw that the room was empty. "She must be eating or in the library." Will turned to search for his friend.

Noticing the chair was occupied in the library as usual, he walked toward the high back leather chair near the fireplace. Emily usually sat here reading. Will pulled up the matching chair and sat by her. Her eyes were swollen and bloodshot, tear streaks marked her cheeks. She flinched when he sat down.

"Hey." Will started. "Thought you'd be sleeping."

She tugged her sleeves of her sweatshirt down to her hands. "Hey," She quietly replied. She looked deep into the fire.

"How long have you been in here?"

"Few hours, I guess."

"We found Jacob and Sharina."

She continued to look at the fire. "I'm glad."

"What's wrong?"

She shrugged her shoulders pulling them tighter into herself. "Is she ok? I saw Sharina come in on a stretcher."

"Yes, Magnus ran some tests. She's been heavily sedated and a little dehydrated, but she'll be ok." He shifted himself in the chair. "What about you?" He reached to touch her hand; she instinctively pulled away and turned her head away from him. He reached farther and took her hand. Pulling the sleeve of her sweatshirt up her arm, he could see that she had been scratching her arm again. Gently he pulled the sleeve back to its original place. "What's wrong?"

"Sorry, I'm just tired, that's all. I'm fine." She tried to shake off his questions. "I'm afraid to sleep."

Will stood up, reached his hand out to her. "Come on. I have an idea."

* * * * * * * * * *

Will sat reading silently in the chair alongside her bed. Emily lay on her bed, sleeping. He had promised her to wake her if she was having another bad dream. She was finally resting, with the help of meditation and medication. Day turned to afternoon, afternoon into night.

Emily opened her eyes slowly. The room was dark but she could see his figure in the chair beside her. She grabbed her covers and snuggled back down to sleep.

The sun crept into the room through the drapes. Emily turned toward the chair, expecting to see Will still there sleeping. She jolted up when she saw he was no longer there. "Will?" She said.

"Hmm, down here." He said. He was on the floor next to her bed, covered in a blanket. He sat up, stretched and moved into the chair. "How are you feeling?"

"Better" Emily smiled. "Thanks." She sat up in bed, feeling refreshed finally.


The hum of the sanctuary had returned to a peaceful state. Sarah and her kids had returned to their home in New City. Sarah knew that the kids needed to return to a normal routine and get back home as soon as possible. New to her group was the young man with the white blond hair that had originally teleported Jacob and Sharina away from her. He chose to go by the name Wes, although they weren't sure if that was his real name.

Helen stood in the doorway with Emily. They had come to see everyone.

"Please come in." Sarah said answering the door. "Guys!" She yelled. "Company!"

Each member of the family came into the living room. Emily smiled sweetly, happy to see that her work was worth all that she had gone through.

"Emily, I'd like you to meet the rest of my kids." Sarah said facing the teenagers in her household. "Jacob, Wes, Sharina, this is Emily. She helped Helen find you."

Wes reached out his hand to shake hers. "Nice to meet you." He said in a southern accent.

"Thank you." Sharina moved closer to Emily and gave her a tight hug… "Thank you so much." She cried.

Jacob stood back from the group. He was the last to acknowledge Emily. He slowly walked to her, lowered himself to her height "thank you for bringing us home Emily." He placed a soft kiss on her cheek.

Emily looked at the family gathered in the living room of the house. She realized that even though she had shared thoughts and memories with these teenagers, each life was more than worth it. How could she give this up?
