The Warehouse
Brennan jumped down from the warehouse window, where he broke in. He looked both ways once inside before calling to the other's to come through. Jesse climbed through the window next, fallowed by Emma. All three waited around the window for Shalimar, but she didn't show. Brennan got nervous that a guard saw her outside the window.
"Shal, are you there?" Brennan yelled, but she didn't answer. "SHALIMAR!!!" He yelled again, still nothing.
"She was right behind me." Emma explained to Brennan who looked more nervous every passing second.
Brennan was afraid that Shalimar was captured or killed if she was then he could live with himself. "I'm going back for her."
"Back for who?" Brennan heard from overhead.
He looked up to see Shalimar standing on the pipes overhead smiling at him. "For you. I was afraid that you might have gotten caught or worse."
Shalimar jumped down from the pipe to join the rest of the group. "Oh, how sweet." She gave Brennan a quick kiss on the cheek.
Brennan blushed briefly. "So what happened?"
"Well a couple of guards came so I had to climb up the fire escape and go through the roof skylight." Shalimar pointed upwards towards the roof.
"Good thinking." Jesse replied looking up at the window.
"Alright that were all here let's get going. Jesse, Emma take this floor, and Shalimar and I will take the bottom floor." Brennan instructed to the group. "Now we are just looking for New Mutants nothing else."
"Alright we know." Emma puffed.
Brennan and Shalimar turned and ran down the hall towards the stairwell. They reached the main floor and started looking in each door. Earlier that day Adam got a message saying that some New Mutants where being held in the warehouse by GSA. He sent the team out to gather them up and bring them back to the Sanctuary.
Brennan and Shalimar checked most of the doors. They were down to only a few, when Shalimar spoke up. "Brennan this doesn't feel right."
"Ya, I was getting the same feeling. You think it might be a trap." Brennan asked.
"I don't know." Shalimar smiled at him. "It could be nothing though."
"Well let's be careful." Brennan opened another door, nothing. They moved on to another door, still nothing.
"So Shal what are you doing later to night?" Brennan asked shyly.
Shalimar stopped in front of the next door. "I don't know, why?"
"Well I was wondering if you wanted to go to dinner and see a movie with me tonight?" Brennan asked as he opened the door. "So what do you say? Do you want to go?" Brennan just looked at Shalimar.
Shalimar wasn't looking at him though but inside the room. "Brennan." Shalimar nudged Brennan with her elbow, making him look into the room.
There was a chair in the middle of the room with a girl tied to it. Four stocky men surrounded the chair. "Who the hell are you?" One yelled out.
"We're looking for the bathroom, but I guess this isn't it." Brennan said jokingly.
"I'll take the two on the left, you take the two on the right." Shalimar whispered to Brennan who nodded in reply.
"GET them!" One of the men said.
The four men rushed at Shalimar and Brennan who got ready to fight. Shalimar eyes flashed a bright yellow color as she pounced forward onto one of the men. Brennan stood still as he gathered some energy into his hands; he fired an energy bolt into the first man's chest sending him flying backwards straight into the second man. Shalimar punched the man she jumped on in the face a couple of times before the second man grabbed her from behind. The man grabbed her hair and ran her towards one of the walls. Shalimar ran up the wall and flipped over the man landing behind him. He turned around just in time too meet up with the heel of Shalimar's boot, as she did a roundhouse kick into his face. The man's head snapped as the force of Shalimar's kick connected with his jaw. Shalimar flipped her hair out of her face and turned around to find Brennan walking over to the chair in the middle of the room.
"Shal you ok?" Brennan asked as she walked over to him.
"Ya I'm fine, you?" She asked in return.
"I'm fine." Brennan walked in front of the chair.
The girl was sitting tied up and gagged, but she was limp and her hair was covering her face. Shalimar brushed the girls dirty blond hair back, and the girl flinched a little but didn't look up at the two. Shalimar lifted the girl's chin with her hand; she looked like she was around twenty. "It's ok we're here to help."
The girl looked had some bruises and tears rolling down her cheeks. Brennan untied her legs and hands, while Shalimar untied the cloth around her mouth. Brennan and Shalimar helped the girl up; she took two steps, and her knee's buckled. She stumbled forward; Shalimar and Brennan caught her before she fell to the floor. "Hey your ok." Shalimar said as she braced the girl's arm around her neck.
They brought the girl out into the hall, where Brennan radioed Jesse. "Jesse you there?"
There was a slight pause before Jesse answered. "Ya Brennan I'm here."
"Did you guys find anything?" Brennan asked.
"No, we check every room and we found nothing." Jesse replied. "What about you guys?"
"Ya, we found a girl, but there are still a couple of more rooms to check. So start heading back to the Sanctuary, and we will be right along." Brennan explained.
"Ok that's fine we'll see you soon then." Jesse said.
Brennan turned off his radio and looked at Shalimar who was holding up the girl. "I'll be right back. I'm going to go check the rest of the rooms."
Shalimar pulled the girl up a little be more. "I'll be right here waiting for you."
Brennan smiled at her, turned, and started down the hall. "BRENNAN!" Shalimar yelled at him, he turned around to face her. "Be careful."
"I will I promise." Brennan replied.
Shalimar watched Brennan run down the hall opening and shutting doors. He turned down another hallway. A few minutes pasted and still no Brennan, Shalimar kept an eye on her watch five minutes past. Shalimar waited a little longer soon it was ten minutes since she last saw Brennan. "Where are you Brennan?" Shalimar asked herself.
The girl she was holding up started to moan, and sway back and forth. "Hey, stay with Brennan will be right back and we'll take you to get some medical attention."
"Hey, Shal all clear." Brennan yelled as he came around the corner.
"Thank God your back. I think she's going into shock." Shalimar explained.
"Lets get her to the Sanctuary." Brennan said as he grabbed the girls other arm.
Brennan and Shalimar helped her back up the stairs to the top floor. They brought her to the window were they entered. Shalimar climbed through first to help the girl down when Brennan helped her through. All three made it outside and headed to Brennan's car. They laid the girl down in the back seat so she could get some rest. Brennan drove off heading back to the Sanctuary to get the girl some help. The girl moaned again. "Hey, you're going to be ok." Shalimar said reaching back and grabbing the girl's hand. "So what's your name?" She asked.
The girl looked at her and whispered. "Isabel."
Shalimar smiled. "Well Isabel your save now." Shalimar turned around and looked at Brennan. "Hurry she's not doing so well." Brennan nodded and pressed down harder on the gas.
