I am not associated with Kyle XY in any way.

The doors to Sarah's cage were weakened considerably. Within moments Kyle and Jessi broke in.
"Do your magic!" Jessi told Kyle while pointing to Sarah. Kyle examined the child quickly and said
"She is alive, but we need to get her some fresh air."
As they both rushed downstairs, Jessi held Sarah in her arms while Kyle cleared the way. As they got to the door suddenly Jessi yelled out:
"Duck!" As she jumped behind a concrete wall herself. Kyle soon followed suit.
"Heartbeats." He stated "45 different ones in a 200 yard radius.
"Yet you walk right onto the clearing for all the snipers to see and…" Jessi was interrupted as Kyle squeezed her hand into his
"Thank you…" "I am glad you have my back..." he said staring into her eyes with gratitude
….
Jessi took a deep breath and mellowed out "Fine… We still need to figure out how to get by all these Special Forces trying to kill us."
"How do you know they are Special Forces?" Kyle started but stopped once Jessi gave him her 'that was a stupid question look.'
"4 dozen people snuck up on us even after we've sweeped the surrounding area. Who do you think they are? Girl scouts trying to sell us cookies?"
"Why would girl scouts?…" Kyle started but then stopped under another one of Jessi's looks.
"Wait." He said squeezing her hand again.
"One of them approaches…" Jessi said. "Perhaps they want to negotiate?"
"Maybe…" Kyle said with a shadow of hope appearing on his face
"I say we take him hostage, use him as a bullet shield and fight our way through…"
Suddenly a bright smile appeared on Kyle's face as he turned to Jessi.
…
"Let's call that plan B."
"What's plan A? She asked as her eyes widened in terror. Kyle stood up for all the snipers to see. Next 3 seconds were the longest 3 seconds in her life. It was quiet… Almost too quiet. But a barrage of bullets did not impact Kyle's chest. Laser dots were not pointed at his face. In fact nothing at all happened.
"Kyle what on earth are you doing? She whispered pulling on his pants trying to get Kyle to duck
.
"Shouldn't you be studying for the midterms?" Kyle asked the stranger who approached
"Shouldn't you be…" the stranger responded "…like… not on the FBI most wanted list."
"What is going on?" Jessi asked checking the firing mechanism on her guns
"Put the safety back on Jess." Kyle said approaching the stranger "This is Josh, our brother."
Kyle hugged the young man as Josh looked Jessi and Sarah over.
"Glad to have you back super girl!" Josh ran up to Jessi and hugged her ignoring the guns in her hands. "And I see you found yourself a mini-me" he said pointing to Sarah. Jessi simply starred at Josh with her eyes wide open.

"Dr. Trager, it is an honor to meet you!" a middle aged mayor told Kyle inside a van "Major Stevenson, delta Force. "
"Nice to meet you major." Kyle responded "Nice to know not everyone is trying to kill us."
"These guys are awesome Kyle!" Josh yelled out excitedly "They have all this sweet gear, and like a license to kill!"
"How did you meet my brother?"
"Our orders were to apprehend your family, as well as a large list of your known friends and associates here in the Seattle area." A spark appeared in Kyle's eyes. The van's equipment started malfunctioning. Jessi put her right hand on Kyle's shoulder to calm him down.
…
"I am glad you decided against it. We could use reinforcements." She added
"You must be XX." The man looked her over "Your skills are very impressive." Jessi smiled and didn't respond "I am a little surprised it was this easy to get close to you two. What if we were not on your side?"
"There are at least two dozen different ways to tell a person is lying by studying their facial expressions." Kyle interjected "Your adrenaline and testosterone levels would also give you away."
"If you were lying you would already be dead." Jessi added calmly
"Don't listen to her." Josh came by a menacing looking Jessi and hugged her "She is tough on the outside, soft on the inside." Jessi rolled her eyes at him

Sarah's first sensation was pain. Her body felt as though it was on fire, and her head was pounding. She tried opening her eyes only to discover that light doubled the pain. She could gather that she was inside a bright room lying on bed. The bed was quite a bit more comfortable then the concrete floor she was used to. She listened for clues.
…
"Nice of you to finally show up!" A high-pitched female voice yelled out
"What's the matter sweetie?" the voice belonging to Kyle responded
"What's the matter?!" sweetie responded "Jessi is some sort of a terrorist with amnesia who appears out of nowhere and uses her Jedi mind tricks to make you do her bidding."
"Pfft" Jessi scoffed.
"So now you run around the country doing drive-bys and shooting up mental hospitals and taking the United Nations hostage."
"That's not true…" Kyle defended
…
"Not true?!" The female paused as if preparing to deliver her most devastating argument "It's on TV!"
"Amanda, you cannot possibly believe Kyle is a terrorist!" an older female interjected
"I don't know what to believe!" Amanda's tone became softer "But… but… he is who knows where with Jessi!" "And you wanted Kyle from day one!" as she said that a sound of her palm impacting a solid object was heard
"Don't touch me!" Jessi said calmly but with steel in her voice
"You are cheating with my husband!" Amanda added angrily
"We are not.." Kyle started
"You have a love child!" Amanda yelled out and apparently stormed out of the room
…
"I should…" Kyle started
"Go after her…" Jessi said with apparent frustration in her voice
The room was quiet for a few moments.
...
"That blonde is starting to get on my nerves…" Jessi finally said
"So if Kyle and Amanda were married for 3 years…" A male voice started "And Sarah is like 7 or 8…"
"Sarah is obviously not the child of Kyle's extramarital affair to Jessi." The older female said "But could she be..."
"My daughter? I hope not."
Another silence hit the room. Sarah felt tears coming onto her eyes.
"Jessi…" The older female started
"I…I…" Jessi stumbled for some reason "I would make a horrible mother Nicole. We all know it."
"Jessi…"
"She is awake…"

"Hey kiddo…" Jessi approached Sarah's bed and put one hand on her forehead
"Jessi…" Sarah said weakly still with her eyes closed
"Shh…" Jessi said as she concentrated "if you think that was a bad headache…" she said when she was done "wait till you try tequila"
"I think I ll stay away…" Sarah said opening her eyes and stretching "Thank you, I feel better now."
"Where are we Jessi?" she asked as she looked around
"This used to be my old room." Jessi replied "We wanted to make sure Kyle's family was alright."
...
"We are your family too." Nicole Trager said walking into the room "Both of you."
"Really?" Sarah asked with a small tear appearing in her eye
"Kyle and Jessi brought nothing but love into this house" Nicole approached them both "I love them as my own kids." She said putting a hand on Jessi's shoulder "But you must have parents of your own. Biological parents I mean."
"They are dead…" Sarah said sadly. Jessi hugged the kid comforting her. "Cassidy told so to the leader of…"
"The bad guys?" Jessi added as Sarah nodded
"Michael Cassidy?" Nicole said worryingly
"Yeah… he was in charge of the facility I was being held at… But now he relocated to the Alpha facility… I have the plans in my head, but we need to act soon…"
"We are not doing anything until I treat you both to some homemade pancakes."
"Your house, your rules Nicole." Jessi smiled and took Sarah by her hand "Shall we?"
Sarah took her hand and whispered loud enough so only Jessi could hear
"Jessi, I think… you'd make a great mom…"
