Brennan and Jesse walked into her room after knocking at the door, Amber was just standing at the bookshelf looking at all the books on it really quietly. Jesse just stood there for a minute just looking at her, her hair was in a really messed up ponytail like Shal's usually is when she is done having a work out. But this was different he could sense something in her some kind of connection that she had between Brennan and Brandon something that had formed earlier that day. As if she felt the same way about both of them. All the trust in the world is what they had with her. Jesse knocked on the door again a bit harder this time, in hopes of getting her attention. She turned around and looked at them with a book in her hands, "Sorry, when I get into a book I tend to really get into it, and shut out the rest of the world. Have you been waiting long?"
Jesse looked at her and smiled. "No, not really but I brought you some PJs for tonight and I brought you some apple juice for you to have before you get some sleep." He looked at Brennan.
She quietly took the cup from Jesse's hands and looked at Brennan, she did trust him but she still did not trust Jesse, she knew that there was things out there that could make her fall asleep she just did not want to have to deal with what they would do to her body she had not slept for so long. "Brennan is it just apple juice? Or is there something else in it, something that would make me fall asleep in the next few hours?"
Brennan just looked at her and remembered what Brandon had told him about her trust and the fact that she just does not give it out anyone. Then he thought about the fact that he had seen molecular go crazy because of the lack of sleep that they tend to get because of the fears that they have. As Jesse had told the sleeping powder was a needed thing for her right now, and it was for her own good. "Amber it is just apple juice in that cup to my knowledge, if you want I can zap it and usually if there is anything in it they will come visible?"
She looked at Jesse who was just standing there holding the PJs that he had brought for her to wear that night to bed, as if she was actually going to sleep. She looked back at Brennan she did trust him and she knew what Brandon had told him about her trust he tells that to everyone that she trusts but sooner or later that trust is lost because they make a mistake and lie to her. But there was something different about Brennan she really did think that he was being completely honest with her, he could make sure that there was nothing in the juice. "Yes can you do that Brennan? Meanwhile I'll just go behind this curtain thing and get into the PJs that Jesse brought for me." She walked behind the curtains to get changed.
Brennan looked at Jesse he really did hope that the zapping did not make the sleeping powder visible although when he thought about it, the fact that there was sleeping powder in there was only hearsay, which justified it a bit. "Amber do you want me to zap this when you get back out here or can I do it right now?"
From behind the curtain she could hear the hesitation in his voice not really knowing what she was going to say then she felt Brandon enter her thoughts:
'Is everything going well down there?'
Focusing her thoughts was a lot easier right now, 'yes Brandon I'm just getting into some pyjamas then maybe going to try and get some sleep. Although I think me sleeping is going to be a useless idea it will never happen.'
'Well what does the other molecular say about his sleeping habits and how he sleeps?' he looked at his computer
Brandon: hey Shal you still there?
Shal: Ya Brandon what is up?
Brandon: truthfully did the molecular put something in the juice that he gave her?
Shal: yes Jesse did put some sleeping powder in the juice that he gave to her.
Brandon: how much did he put it, meaning how long will she be out if she drinks it all?
Shal: Sometime tomorrow afternoon. Then we will hopefully get to check her out in the lab.
Brandon: does Brennan know about the sleeping powder?
Shal: I am not sure, I think he might be able to guess because of the look that Jesse had on his face when he was holding the cup and walking into Brennan's room but whether Jesse told him or not; I am not so sure about that.
Amber finally managed to focus her thoughts enough to tell him that: 'he has not mentioned whether he manages to sleep all the way through the night or not but the bed is made so that no one can phase through it.' She remembered the juice maybe Brandon can take a look in Jesse's head and see if he put anything into it on her. 'Can you see if the molecular put anything in the apple juice?'
Brandon sat on the bed for a few seconds before he really figured out what to do
Brandon: Shal is there any way I can talk to Brennan right now before he does something crazy?
Shal: what do you mean does something crazy?
Brandon: decides to lie to Amber she just asked me about the juice I have a trick I can do but I need to talk to him first before I do it.
Shal: Okay give me a sec to try and get him.
Shal looked at her ring and said "Brennan I need you to come here right now. Something has happened and Jesse you coming is probably a good idea too."
Brennan looked at Jesse "Shal, what is going on? Can this wait a few minutes?"
Shal looked at the computer screen in front of her and Emma with the messages from Brandon on it. She was worried about this girl just the same but in her own way and the constant waiting to find out about her fears where making her mad and worried about everything. "Actually Brennan we need you two up here right now, I'll explain what it is for in a few seconds and bring the cup with you."
Jesse looked at Brennan then to the curtain, "Amber we will be back in a few minutes we just need to go talk to Shal for a few seconds, if you want get back into that book and we will be back in a few minutes."
Amber peaked out of the curtain she had listened to the conversation between them and the girls. "Okay," she came out from behind the curtain and settled on the bed. "Are you going to leave the juice here or are you going to take it with you?"
Jesse looked at the cup in his hand it was cold by now and so he was going to heat it up a bit and hopefully he she believed that. "Although Shal did tell me to bring it with me I think it needs to be heated up again it has gotten cold since I heated it up last time. So just settle yourself on the bed and read for a few minutes and we will be back and I'll make just hot again."
With that the two of them rushed off to computer area not waiting for Amber to respond to the thing that they did.
A/N: Hey all. Sorry it took me so long to put this one up. Hopefully I have the next chapter up sooner. R&R
