They had been searching for about three hours, but they had found no sign of Emily. They had gone to her house, her school, even her friends' houses, but still nothing.

"I'm kinda getting the feeling that this kid doesn't want to be found," Brennan stated as he looked out the car window.

"Yeah, same here," Jesse agreed.

"You know, maybe we should split up. We could cover more ground that way," Shalimar suggested.

"Good idea. Shal, why don't you and I look around here while Brennan and Emma take the car and go further into town." Shalimar nodded. "Is that ok with you guys?" Jesse asked the other two.

"Sounds good to me," Brennan answered as Emma simply nodded. Brennan pulled the car over, letting Shalimar and Jesse out on the sidewalk.

"Keep your comlinks open. We'll contact you if we find anything," Shalimar said.

Both Brennan and Emma nodded.

"Will do," Brennan replied.

"Ok. Well, we'll see you later then," Jesse said as he and Shalimar turned away from the car.

With that, Brennan pulled the car away from the curb and continued to drive on.

"I wonder where she is," Jesse stated as they walked down the sidewalk.

"I don't know, but you've got to realize that Emily has no idea what's happening to her and she has no way of controlling it. I mean, I was totally freaked out when my new mutant ability kicked in. Imagine having more than one and never knowing which one is going to go off. I'm sure she's scared to death," Shalimar explained.

"Yeah, you're right. I was freaked out as well when mine ability started working."

Just as they were about to turn a corner, a girl came around it and slammed right into Shalimar, knocking them both down. Immediately, Jesse and Shalimar recognized the girl to be Emily Mackenzie, but before they could do or say anything, the girl was back on her feet. Mumbling an apology, she took off again and ran around another corner.

"Was that who I think it was?" Jesse questioned.

Shalimar nodded, "Yup, that was Emily Mackenzie."
