Chapter 5: Cat and Mouse

After Brennan had a shower he put the clothes Sita had gave him on and walked out into the hall. Man was he every sore. He was bruised and cut all up his back and his legs were nothing but bruises the water hadn't help the showerhead had pulsed water and he thought it was torture but at least he was clean. He moved threw the house to fine Sita in the kitchen cooking.

"Thought that you'd be hungry." She said. As she passed him a cup of coffee. He smiled and took the coffee.

"Thanks." he looked back at her. "How do you know me?"

"Everyone in the business does, well did." She frowned.

"Really in the good way or the bad way?"

"Both really." she finished frying his eggs and put then on a plate and passed it to him she grabbed her plate and her toast and made her way to the table. She sat down followed by Brennan. They ate for a while then as they drank there coffee they talked some more.

"So how'd you fine me?"

"I knew how to look."

"Really how?"

"Look I had been looking for you before you disappeared off the face of the earth I was looking for a partner for a job."

"Oh."He frowned." How do I know if you aren't some cop or something and you just keeping me here till your pals come and get me."

"Because the cops aren't the ones after you." she said standing up picking up the two plates and moving back to the kitchen. Placing the dishes in the sink she finished her coffee and then put the cup in to. She turned around to face him she pulled her self to sit on the counter." Look it's Eckart that's after you you're getting to be too much trouble for him and he wants to get rid of you he has a new mutant out for you and trust me when I say that she has nothing to loss. The only reason she has is that if she fails her and her brother will be killed and she'll never let that happen because they have a special bond. Something about their powers it bond then when they were born. Both of their parents were mutants... powerful ones at that."

"So If their so powerful, why don't they just get rid of Eckart and leave?"

Sita sighed "it's not so simple. They need each other to be so powerful and then brother has been in a drug-coma since the age of 13. The girl doesn't have the power to overthrow Eckart with out her brother so this is how it's been for close to 10 years. She's been Eckart's little servant always with the threat of death for her and her brother hanging over her head." she paused for a moment to let this sink in and then finished." so as you can see she hasn't failed and this case makes a really big deal. If she kills you Eckart is going to let her brother go."

"By He'd never do that." Brennan said shocked by what he's hearing.

"She doesn't know any better she thinks he will. So she wouldn't stop until your dead or she is from trying to get you."

Brennan sighed holding his head in his hands." I guess we'll need some help huh."

"I Guess so but who's going to help us you're wanted for murder and I'm a well known thief."

"I know so people do you still have my ring?"

Yeah here." she said as she pulled it out of her back pocket. She throw it to him and he slipped it on to his hand.

Emma was watching the screen on board the double Helix when Brennan's signal flashed to life. She sighed with relief. She had loss "touch" with him late last night and was worried ever since.

"I just picked up his singal."She took Jesse who was up front piloting to plane.

"Okay where is it?"

"It's" Emma pulled up the map and quickly found his position. "293 west cove." she stated. As she watched she saw 4 SUVs headed towards that location. "Jesse you better hurry. It's Eckart's men threw closing in on his location and fast." She said.

"Okay hold on. "He said as he told control off manual and turned the plane around and quickly towards Brennan's location hopefully fast enough.

Brennan was sitting with his eyes closed when he heard it a soft click of a lock being picked he quickly got to his feet and walked softly towards the front of the apartment. He saw women with long golden hair and bright blue eyes. She had a pair of black pants and a zip up sweater on. She had he hair pulled back into a ponytail. He watched as her eyes flashed.Great.He thought. A feral just what I needed. She quickly and quietly made her way into the room. Brennan backing up into then room where he had woke up in. I hope they didn't get Sita she was a nice girl is. He moved quietly to the bathroom not closing the door knowing that she would hear it. Hope Shal and they get here soon or they fine a dead Brennan.he softly sat down and waited.

Amelia could smell him it was just a matter of time before she found him. She had told the other's to wait outside so she could deal with this problem They hadn't like that but since when had she gave a Damm what others thought. She told other breath and received another whiff of him. Smiling she got down to business. She had all day.

As soon and they landed and got out Shalimar had smelt her. She growled and her eyes flashed. Emma sensed the change and sent a calming picture to her. God I hate that when you do that. She thought to Emma.

No you don't. Emma sent back. Shalimar smiled and pushed forward. Moving to Brennan smelling his fear.

I hope he's okay. She thought.

He's fine. Emma said inside her head.

I know it's just...She couldn't finish her thought.

Amelia was surprised when she smelt her there wasn't any other feral on the team she had made sure of it. The she growled deep in her throat she knew who that was it was Shalimar Fox of Mutant x which meant that the others went far behind. Got to hurry I don't have much time left. She moved faster just searching the house forgetting about her game of Cat and Mouse.
