Chapter 10
Shalimar wasn't really sure what was happening around her. Brennan is concern about Emma and there is nothing new about it. Brennan has been like that to Emma since Emma died in Caleb's hands; or better yet, from Caleb's kiss.
They all made a vow not to let that thing happen again, although Emma showed a lot of change about her fighting skills. Not a year lately, Emma finished her black belt exercise in Thai chi. This year, she's finishing her mastery.
Yes, Emma has been better but it still didn't change the fact that all of them get worried about her too much considering that her powers are somewhat mysterious. This still doesn't explain why Brennan is killing himself of worrying about Emma.
Brennan should be concern about his future son--shalimar thought. She stood there in her room; now theirs--Brennan and hers. She shook her head. There is something Brennan was hiding from her. she doesn't know it but she'll figure it out soon.
Shalimar looked at their bed where Brennan lay silently asleep. Even in his sleep, Shalimar knew he was in deep thought. His face was cringed and the lines on his forehead were heavier. He has been worrying too much. Shalimar sighed. There were hidden issues here, she was sure of that but she just don't know how to make Brennan confess.
Shalimar was definitely tired. She has been in the computer center lately and she has spent too much time helping with the assignment. She still want to be involve even is she can't go out in the field. She sighed once more and then crept silently on the bed beside Brennan and pulled the covers. She needed to rest not only for herself but for the little thing growing inside her.
oOo
Jesse and Emma left very early that morning. When Brennan woke up he didn't find them. He didn't even see breakfast on the dinning table. He knew that means they have to prepare for their own.
Brennan didn't even had his chance to speak to Emma or even see her before she left with Jesse. Not that she's not coming back, but Brennan wanted to talk to her so much. He needed to talk to her so badly but she was not in the Sanctuary.
He was a complete jack ass last night. He knew Shalimar could tell that there was something behind those worries. Had not he been more careful, hell he could kiss Emma right there and then. He wanted to tell every one that Emma is his only meaning of living. He wanted to tell Emma that he can't afford to see her being harrassed by other man even if it is an assignment.
He hated this whole mission. He never thought Emma would take a mission like these. It was so unlike her... all these things are so unlike Emma. This job is for a woman with Shalimar's attitude--fierce, daring, lethal... Emma is sweet, caring, intoxicating but behind these Emma is dangerous.
"Playing whore was not for Emma and it will never suit her" Brennan thought. He was never used at this. He was used to Emma just staying in the Sanctuary. Every time he wakes up, he would find her just around the Sanctuary...avoiding him...but around the Sanctuary. but today is different.
The Sanctuary has been really quiet for the past months. He can no longer hear Shalimar's roar in dojo...of course that is because Shalimar is pregnant...He can no longer hear the tapping of the computer keyboard as a reminder that Jesse is around...and worst of all, there was no more of Emma's sweet laughter.
Now, every time he walks in the Sanctuary, he would see Adam training Shalimar in the computer center--a job that Jesse and Emma used to do; and he would find Emma exhausting herself in the dojo while Jesse guides her combat with holograms. Other times he would find them group together teaching Emma to dress and speak like a whore. Everyone was so liking this set-up... everyone but him.
oOo
Emma has been really busy lately. She took several self defense courses and even took special computer training with Jesse not to mention the flirting class she got from Shalimar. It was tiring but fun.
Emma soon realized that she was liking the assignment so much specially the factors that comes along with it...shopping for free, dining for free and meeting people without attachment on them since everuthing is a hoax.
She loves everything about the mission. She has prepared herself for this for the past months. She thanked the gods for the assignment too... this had helped her pushed Brennan out of her mind. This also made her discover things about her. She found out that she could really be sexy and daring. She found it exciting to connect with men even if she was not using her power. She discovered that night life could also be fun.
But the event last night made her think. She could read Brennan clearly that night. She knew he still cares for her. She wanted to scream with gladness. It gave her hope...Brennan's thought gave her hope...but what about Shalimar. It was obvious that she loves him too much.
Emma does not want to hurt her friend. She admits that she loves Brennan so much and she wants him back but she also know that her happiness would mean Shalimar's pain and she was never selfish. She would be happy for her friend's happiness.
oOo
Jesse drove the camaro quietly. He was enjoying this. Even if he was modest enough, we all know that he is a man and he too has weakness. Jesse enjoys seeing alot of naked woman in Emma's line of work now, although Emma was a class one. She has the highest bid.
Jesse has to admit that Emma was really doing good and he loves it. Like Emma, he too was loving the job and the factors that comes along with it. Free drinks, free striptease shows and specially free food.
He was thankful Russ allowed Emma to get her own driver. Emma told Russ that she does not trust any man to drive her. Jesse smiled as a thought strucked her. Emma has her ways to convince anyone.
"Excited?" He asked Emma, who was sitting at the back, and smiled at her.
"A bit," Emma replied "and nervous too." she said clutching her hands.
Jesse glanced at her. "Nervous of what?"
"Russ might change his mind." she softly said but still managed to smile. "What test do you think would he give me?" she stared at him.
"I don't really have any idea." Jesse replied. There was a short silence before Jesse spoke again. "Ems, if O'brien asked you to do something bad with me but you think it would not kill me, do it."
Emma knew Jesse was serious. "Yes," she replied and then added something. "And if he instructed you to do something to me...Something that would really hurt me, do it. you don't need to say anything. I can read your mind."
Jesse nodded and tried to smile. This short conversation made him nervous too. This was the first time Emma would be in serious mission like this. He was scared for her... he was scared that Emma's emotion would not be stable. He was a bit startled when Emma tapped his shoulder.
"I told you I can read your emotions." She winked and moved back on her seat. "Don't worry for me Jesse. We can do this. I can do this."
oOo
Jesse parked the car infront of a manor. It was the exact address Mr. O'brien gave them. "He sure is wealthy, Emma." He commented.
"Emmie... Call me Emmie, okay Jess." Emma said and stepped out of the car. She found the place very interesting. It was wonderful. She could tell that one could just come there because there were too many security. Instantly guards walked towards Emma and threw questions at her.
"This is a private place you can't come here." a security man told her.
Emma smiled. "I'm here to see Mr. O'brien." she answered back but the security service was not letting her in.
"Mr. O'brien does not like visitors." the man firmly said showing off his gun to her.
Emma stared at him thinking if she should hit him with a psionic blast or just knock him unconscious. She then grinned at him and then quickly grabbed the security guard's gunand pointed it at him. Seeing the comotion, the other security members rushed to help the head security.
"Now you've done it." The man said.
Emma grinned at him and said, "Done what?" she then glanced at six men who were running towards her and then looked back at the head of security then gave him a head butt. she then faced the six men who surrounded her emmidiately.
Not bothered by the shortness of her skirt, Emma sommersaulted the men run towards the empty space she left. As expected, they bumped with each other and fell twisting in pain. Emma laughed but she soon was attacked with a man with gun. Emma managed to avert the bullet. She then rushed to the man and punched his nose then hit his croch.
Alarmed, the five more security guards rushed to help but Emma effortlessly knocked all of them uncousious.
Jesse was about to go out of car but then realized that Emma was still doing fine. He didn't want to make Emma feel that he doesn't trust her strenght so he just let her fight her own battle. She knew that Emma was loving this. Emma has wished for this moment all of her life. She wanted to prove that she was worth it. She wanted to show them all that she too was an asset of the group.
Jesse sometimes wished the same break. Lately, it has been Brennan and Shalimar who gets all the action and he would always be left to train Emma. Not that he does not want Emma around but he too wants field assignments. He smiled. It was a great feeling to watch some one you've trained win his--her, in this case, battle.
It didn't took long before Mr. O'brien came running out of the house. He saw the extra activity but didn't notice who was the woman beating his men down. "What is happening here!" he screamed.
Hearing his voice, Emma turned to face Mr. O'brien. "I came here on time as you said and you let your filthy men welcome me with their guns?" she gave him a disgusted look. Actually, she knew this would happen. she expected this and she likes it. It made her practice what she learned from Jesse.
"Emmie!" Russ said excitedly then he realized what his security have done to her. "I'm sorry about this." He apologized and then he called someone to take care of the guards. "Don't worry, I'll teach them a lesson." He said. willing Emma to smile but she didn't. She was a bit tired. But Emma was smiling inside. She wanted that to happen anyway.
"Did you come here alone? O'brien asked.
Emma shook her head. "No, I came with my driver." she said and signaled Jesse to come out of the car. "He's my driver and my personal security."
O'brien smiled. "This is the first time for me to see a woman like you with a Security."
Emma smiled. "Being a whore is just a part-time job. My other works requires some one whom i could entrust my life with. I can't find anyone but him."
"I see." O'brien nodded and extended a hand to Jesse. "I'm Russ, and you are?"
"Jess." Jesse replied.
O'brien nodded. He really didn't trust Jesse but Emma is a big fish just to be left uncatched. They needed Emma and he just can't say no to her conditions. "Can we now come inside?" He asked them. Jesse and Emma just nodded and then followed O'brien's lead.
oOo
Shalimar was working on the computer when she heard someone came in. She didn't have to look to know that it was Brennan. Her feral instinct became to familiar with him and she could detect him with in a 1.5 kilomerter radius. "What brought you here?" she asked without looking at him.
Brennan kept staring at the ground. He didn't know how to start a conversation with her. "Are you still mad at me?"
Shalimar stopped her work and was forced to look at him. She stared at him with a loving eyes and then shook her head. "No. I was never mad at you." she said with a soft smile. "just a little irritated." she added.
Brennan walked towards her and gave her a hug. There was nothing romantic about the hug. It was plain apologetic hug for him. His feelings towards Shalimar hasn't change. She was still just her friend. He just can't bring himself to love her. and he was sorry about that too.
Shalimar was glad Brennan apologized although she was hoping he would tell her why he acted like that. She didn't want to push him. she knew it was not a good idea. "I love you, Brennan." She told him.
"I know." was Brennan's response. Brennan hated moments like this... moments that requires him to talk about love or emotions that he was not really felling for her. He can't explain why. He is not even excited for the baby. He was still hoping that everything is just a dream and he would soon wake up still beside Emma and everthing would turn out just fine.
oOo
Adam found the elemental and the feral in a sweet embrace. He looked at Shalimar and found happiness in her face. Adam knew that Shalimar was hoping to be with Brennan the very first day Brennan came in the group although it was not a secret that Brennan only agreed to join the group because of Emma.
Adam knew about the special connection the two mutants shared that is why he was a bit surprised when Shalimar made it official that she and Brennan were dating. For now, Adam was just happy for Shalimar.
All this happy thoughts vanished when Adam got a glimpse of Brennan's face. Brennan's brows were full of pain and regret. It was obvious that what Brennan was feeling is the exact oposite of Shalimar's. Could it be, that Brennan really didn't love Shalimar? If he really does not, then why is he staying with her?
