Chapter 8:

      Brennan felt sick. He was in a cell with water up to his knees. they had taken his shoes, socks, and comring. The only good thing was the fact that they hadn't put in a sub-dovner governer. //Wanted me to suffer. Can't do that if I don't have my ablitles.// He swayed barely staying up straight. He reached for the wall and received a shock as he touched it.

      "Damn it Eckhert. Come in here and face me you spine-less basterd." The door swang open to reviel Mason Eckhert and the women that brought him in.

      "Mr.Murlray, a pleasre as always." Brennan growled and locked his knees. He'd be damn if he showned weakness in front of this creature. The two stayed well out of the waters reach.

      "What afriad of a small puddle of water Eckhert?" Brennan taunted him. He smirked.

      "I let others do my dirty work." Suddenly two men walked in the door and grabbed Brennan. A third man brought in a governer.

      "NO!!!" Brennan screamed. He brought the energy to his hands and fired it at the water. He'd die before they put on of those back in him. All the men including Brennan screamed in pain. The three falling into the water flopping like fish out of water.

      "Hurts, eh?" then Brennan's legs finally gave out. He sank down sitting in the middle of the water. He heard clapping. He looked up at Eckert.

      "Good. you're powers are growing. But please Mr. Mulwray save your strenght you'll need it." And with that he left with the women and three differt men came in to collect there fallen members. Carefully making sure they stayed out of the water they fished them out then left Brennan sitting in chest high water.

      Shalimar was fustrated. Adam had grounded her due to her ijures. She felt responsible for Brennan's Cature and now all she could do was wait around. //Or...// She actived the dojo simulater. Pulling up the file her and Brennan had been making she stepped into the area.

      "Computer active Program." A small jungle appered. She smelt the 'air' //Brennan// she moved deeper into the jungle that surrounded her. Brennan and her had made this for if they got bored it was their own personlitles and fighting skills scanned into the computer for one another to fight with.

      Shalimar smelt Brennan and three other people some GSA agents. The idea was that she had to first find Brennan then together they had to take out the Agents. When she ran this program she always felt calmer. Fighting side-by-side with Brennan always helped her calm down. Suddleny she saw him.

      He was standing beside a small river with just a pair of shorts on. He dove in the water quickly washing off all the sweat and dirt. Shalimar purred. Cathing herself she was shicked. //This is Brennan.// She told herself. //No it's a computer program.// the voice in her head told her. She shook her head. ADn walked over grabbing his clothes she was going to have some fun even if this wasn't the real Brennan. She hind the clothes behind a outcropping of bursh and sat down on the rock which had held his clothes.

      "Hey Bren, How's the water?" She asked as he broke the surface. he turned surprised, then smiled.

      "Hey Shal, the water's nice you should come in and join me."

      "You know how much i hate the water." She smiled, he grinned at her and made his way out.

      "Almost as much as i hate it." He looked at her. " I think you need a hug."he told her as he began to drip off.

      "Brennan, don't you even think about it." She shouted as he rushed towards her. He laughed and swept her up into his arms.

      "Last chance to go freely."

      "Nope don't want to." She said crossing her arms. He began to walk.

      "Well guess what?"

      "What?" She said

      "I just changed you mind." then he dropped her into the middle of the river. She can back up spitting water.

      "You're so going to pay for that." She told him as she grabbed his arm pulling him under. Knowing it was only a hologram and water didn't have the same over  powering effects as it would on the real Brennan. She held him under until he began to fight back. the played like this for about half an hour.

      Slowly they crawled out of the water and floped down on the bank.

      "Computer terminate GSA agents." Shalimar said under her breath.

      "Changes confirmed." Came back the digital voice. Shalimar relaxed back agaist 'Brennan.' She drifted to sleep.

                        ~*~

      When Shalimar woke up she smiled and curled around Brennan. He moved and she spoke up.

      "I wish I didn't have to leave." Shalimar said.

      "Then don't stay here with me." Brennan said.

      "I have to get back to work." She stood up and began to leave.

      "Shal,please don't go." He said standing up. He reached out for her hand. "I Love you." The Brennan image said. "It breaks my heart everytime you leave."

      "You do...it does." She asked. //This has to be true i mean it's his personlitly.//

      "Yes I do. i love you I have scine i first saw you." A tear ran down Shalimars cheek. "Why are you crying?" he asked taking a step towards her.

      "I'm sorry." She said.

      "For what?"

      "This...computer delete Shalimar/Brennan Program 001." Suddenly Shalimar was standing by herself on the dojo. The tears raced down her face.

      Emma felt overwhelmed. She had the sub-conueiess form of Ms.O'Leary in her head. Althought she had taken over her body Emma felt pity for her. to be trapped in genomex so she could save her brother.

      As she sat thinking about this she felt emotions ram into her. Pain,Love,Hatred, and grief. She took an involutry gasp, and closed her wyws sherching for the person or poeple connected to those feelings and she was shocked to find Shal and Brenn. She consintraied first on Shalimar. She was so sad but she also felt something else. It was the Love she felt. It was radiadting off of her in waves. Then Emma turned her attendance to Brennan he was in great pain and the hatred also flew off him in waves. It was almost to much but Shalimar's feelings of lovehelped even it out. Then Emma saw him, he was standing in a room with water up to his neck. he was fighting aginst the water but it countied to pull him under. He was losing the fight.

      "Oh- I think I'm going to be sick." She said as she broke the connection. She opened her eyes to find Adam and Jesse both watching her.

      "What is it?" he asked instaly worried.

      "It's Brennan and Shalimar.

      "What about them?"

      "There emotions. i don't have a good wall up their hard to block right now." She took a deep breath and imagened a wall surrouding her mind from the rest of the world.

      "Shal, fine." She told Adam and Jesse thier worry overpowering her shield. "Can you calm down?" She asked. "You two are giving me a headache."

      "Sorry." they mumbled. She slowly regained control.

      "Like i was saying." Emma began. "Shal's fine just Sad and frighten for Brennan. Not to metion angry she didn't get to come along"Emma said smiling at Adam. She didn't metion the love She'd talk to Shalimar about it later.

      "And Brennan." Adam urged.

      "Well you know who ever scnie his powers have grown he's more sensitve to water right."

      Adam nodded fearing the worse.

      "Well from what i can get it they have him in a room somewhere surroded in water. he's in a lot of pain..." Emma paused. "And his hatred is." She paused again thinking of a way to put it. "It's painful." She finished.

      "When I get my hands on Eckert." Adam was interputed by Jesse who had went back to the controls.

      "We've reached the Agent recruminet facilty, and either the GSA has run into some money who there is a speacil VIP here."

      "Okay." Adam spoke up giving out commands, "land the plane on the roof. We'll go in. Don't forget it goes. Brennan first then Amelia and then finally we will go get her brother." They nodded. Jesse landed the plane and lowered the landing gear.

      "Let's go."  Jesse said.
