"Madison Caden"
Chapter 3
SANCTUARY- MEDICAL
"Adam!" Brennan yelled when Adam wasn't in medical even though they called ahead of time and told him that they were bringing in both Shalimar and Madison who needed medical attention. Emma and Adam soon came running. Brennan had laid Shalimar on the chair in the middle of the room, while Jesse had laid Madison in the one to the right of Shalimar.
"WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED?" Adam asked.
"I was in the Double Helix," Jesse said.
"Shal' and I went in for Madison. Madison was unconscious on the floor when we arrived. Gabriel said he was going to kill her. Shal' and I jumped down and I hit a whole bunch with a jolt. Shal' had Gabriel pinned up against a wall for a while. After a few minutes when I almost had the other people knocked out I heard Shalimar scream, but by the time I could get to her Gabriel had his hands on her head. I hit him with a jolt. I picked up Shal' and Madison and we got here as soon as we could."
"Wait, you're saying that Shalimar HAD Gabriel PINNED up against a wall?" Adam asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"Shalimar wouldn't have been able to do that UNLESS Gabriel wanted it happen."
"What?"
"Gabriel must have had something planned. Emma start a scan on both of them."
"Yes, Adam."
Adam turned to his computer and watched as Shalimar's scan results came up. "Damn it."
"What?" Jesse, Brennan, and Emma asked in unison.
"Shalimar has severe internal bleeding and she's in a coma...I'll have to start operating right away."
"What about Madison?" Emma asked.
Adam acessed Madison's scan results. "I don't really see anything wrong with her. She was hit over the head, but she should just have a slight headache and bruising. She should be fine. She should be...awake." Adam looked over at the unconscious Madison. "Jesse, why don't you put Madison in one of the extra rooms and keep an eye on her?"
"Okay, Adam," Jesse picked up Madison, carefully cradling her in his arms.
"Emma, I need you to help me operate."
"Okay."
"What can I do ?" Brennan asked.
"Nothing right now. Just help Jesse with Madison," Adam told him and with that Brennan left obviously not happy. Brennan had wanted to help with Shalimar. "Emma, you and I need to go change." Adam handed Emma a white sterile medical outfit and she left to change. Adam looked down at Shalimar's still form. She was so pale, Adam ran his hand along the side of her face. "I'm so sorry, Shalimar. I know this must be one of the ways Gabriel is punishing me. I'm so sorry he hurt you. It should have been me and not you. I should have known that he would have hurt one of you. I should have known and kept all of you here at Sanctuary. I should have known he'd go after you again. What do I do, Shalimar? You're usually always here for me to talk to. When I told everyone about how I made the sub-dermal governors and the pods you were the first one out of the shocked silence telling me that I did it to keep Gabriel from hurting everyone, but now he's out and he's hurt you. And then you told me that I couldn't have known about what Mason was planning, but the truth is that if I had paid more attention to what was happening than maybe Breedlove would be alive and we would all be in a better situation right now." Adam looked at Shalimar one last time before leaving to change.

SANCTUARY- BRENNAN'S ROOM
Brennan had told Jesse that he was feeling a little drained and needed to sleep. Jesse had said that he'd check in on Madison and inform him if anything happened. Brennan was tired, but that wasn't the reason he had retreated to his room. He wanted to be alone. Brennan took off his shoes and jacket and then just let himself collapse onto his bed. He began thinking about Shalimar: when they had first met, when Shalimar had lost Richard, when Shalimar had bonded with Angel and Beau-her feral protectiveness and just all her feral qualities, how scared he was when Adam had put Shalimar in the dojo as a trap and then dosed him with water and tried to kill Shalimar, how jealous he had been when Zack showed up, his fears when Henry had attacked her and then she had fallen into his dreamscape, when she had been shot and then had kissed him with the antidote to the scorpion's feramone, and then when he and Shal' were working out and then Gabriel grabbing her, and then when they ALMOST kissed. He loved her, and he didn't want to lose her. Brennan closed his eyes and tried to remember all of thise times they had had fun together, but all he could see was Shalimar's lifeless body and hear her scream. Brennan tried to push it from his mind. He couldn't, it was too hard. He turned over and opened his eyes. He remembered when Shalimar and Emma had asked if they could just pick out all of his girlfriends. He looked at his nightstand, there was a picture of all of them. It had been Emma's birthday. It was him, Shalimar, Emma, and Jesse since Adam had taken the picture. "We all were so happy...god! Why does this need to be happening?" Brennan could hear her voice in his head...god! Why can't I help! At least then I'd feel like I was doing something to help Shalimar. Anything, even if it was something small and meaningless. Brennan turned back over and eventually feel asleep.
