Chapter 3:  Clubbing

            It was just about nine pm and everyone was in his or her own room getting ready to go out to the club.  Brennan and Jesse were the first to be done and down stairs.  "Where are they?"  Jesse asked as the two paced back in forth.

            "Right here."  They heard Shalimar's voice from the top of the stairs.

            Brennan and Jesse looked up and saw the two girls walking down the stairs towards them.  "You girls ready to go?"  Brennan asked.

            "You bet!"  Emma replied.

            "I'm all set!"  Shalimar chimed in.

            "Alright Brennan your driving."  Jesse said to Brennan, knowing that there was a good chance that Shalimar would sit in back with him.

            "Alright I'll take us to a club I used to go to, if that's ok?"  Brennan asked them.

            "Ya we don't care were we go!"  Emma replied as they headed out the front door. 

            Jesse walked over to the black sports car and opened up the back door and took a seat.  Shalimar smiled at Brennan.  "The blacks sports car, my favorite!"

            "I knew it was."  Brennan replied giving her a smile.

            Brennan ran around the front of the car in front of the girls.  He opened both of the doors for the girls.  The girls giggled at him.  "What a gentlemen!"  Shalimar explained.

            "I've been practicing this."  Brennan said as the girls climbed in.

            Jesse turned and looked at the open door and saw Emma getting in beside him, his eyes widened, that was not the person he wanted to sit next to.  Brennan shut the girl's doors and ran around to the driver side and pulled out a pair of keys from his pocket.  He climbed in and started the car and drove down the driveway, Brennan couldn't help but look in his rearview mirror smirking at Jesse.

            Jesse didn't say a word the whole trip he just watched Shalimar laughing and talking with Brennan.  When they reached the club Brennan parked the car and jumped out of the car and ran over to open up the girls.  "What the hell got into you?"  Emma asked with a smile.

            "I don't know!"  Brennan said he gave a quick glance over to Shalimar who was smiling at him.  "Shall we ladies!"  Brennan said offering them each an arm.

            "You bet!"  Emma replied sliding her arm through Brennan's.  Shalimar did the same and they started to walk to the door, Jesse was pissed and gave Brennan a dirty look as he walked behind him.

            "Look at the line."  Emma explained as she noticed a long line of people waiting to get into the club.  "It'll be forever until we get in!"

            "Not a problem!"  Brennan said.  The girls looked at him in confusion.  Brennan walked them right up to the two huge men who were monitoring the door.  "Hey, Tom what's up?"  Brennan asked one of the men.

            "Brennan!  Nothing much!"  Tom said shaking Brennan's hand.  "What have you be up to?"

            "Nothing."  Brennan replied.

            "It looks like you've been busy."  Tom said referring to Shalimar and Emma.

            Brennan smiled.  "Ya!  Oh, Tom I'd like you to meet Shalimar, Emma, and Jesse."  Brennan introduced.

            "Nice to meet you."  Tom replied.

            "Hey it looks like you guys are really busy tonight."  Brennan said casually.

            "It's been really busy lately!"  Tom said looking at the line of people.  "Brennan you can go on in, I won't make you and your friends stand out here all night."

            "Thanks Tom!"  Brennan replied, as Tom moved away from the door to let them in.

            "Scott's here if you want to see him."  Tom said as Brennan passed him.

            "I'll go see him, thanks!"  Brennan said with a smile.

            The group walked in to find the club packed.  The lights in the club were dimmed and there were a few colored flashing light over the DJ on the dance floor.  Brennan led them over to an empty table near the bar and they all took a seat. 

            "Who's Scott and how the hell did you get us in like that?"  Shalimar asked him.

            "It's a long story!"  Brennan replied.

            "We have all night."  Emma told him.

            "Well before I joined Mutant X my friend Scott and I opened up this club and it was our home away from home.  We spent all of our time here and half the stuff in this club we stole from different stores and business's."  Brennan explained.

            "Interesting."  Jesse said not very impressed.

            "I try come her when Adam gives us time off.  I like coming to get away from everything like Eckhart and GSA, stuff like that."  Brennan said.  "Well let's get off that subject.  What's do you guys want to drink?"

            "I don't care."  Shalimar replied.

            "That goes for me to."  Emma said.

            "I'll have a beer."  Jesse told Brennan.

            "Jesse, don't forget your buying my drink."  Shalimar reminded him.

            "I guess I'll go with Brennan then."  Jesse said getting up from his chair.

            "Alright, we'll be over there."  Emma said pointing over to the railing looking out over the dance floor.

            "Ok, we'll be right back."  Brennan replied, and then walked off to the bar with Jesse. 

Brennan and Jesse stood at the bar waiting for the bartender to come.  He finally came up to them.  "What can I get you?"  The man asked them.

            "We'll have two beers, a Strawberry Daiquiri, and a Russian Cocktail."  Brennan replied.

            "Coming up."  The bartender said turning around to fix the drinks.

            Brennan turned around and looked at the girls, he noticed that two guys were standing around them.  Brennan watched the men closely as they talked to Shalimar and Emma.  He didn't like the way they moved or their body movements around the girls.  He noticed the girls turned around away from the men, obviously tired of what they were saying.  The men started to leave, but one turned back to Shalimar and smacked her ass before he left, then walked off with his friend.  Shalimar turned around and was about to go after the guy but Emma held her back.  Brennan watched the men go up the stairs to the second floor and up to a man look out over the club, and then turned back around to face the bar.

            The bartender turned around and placed the drinks in front of them.  Jesse reached in his back pocket and pulled out his wallet and paid for the drinks.  Brennan grabbed his beer and the Strawberry Daiquiri and turned away from the bar and headed back to the girls, who were now sitting back down at the table.

            "Here are your drinks ladies."  Brennan said as he reached them.

            "Good I need a drink."  Shalimar said.  Brennan handed Shalimar the Strawberry Daiquiri and Jesse hand Emma the Russian Cocktail.

            "How did you guys now what drinks we wanted?"  Shalimar asked.

            "Lucky guess."  Brennan explained as he placed his drink on the table.  "I'll be right back."  They nodded in reply.

            Brennan walked away heading towards the bathroom.  He glanced back at the table and noticed everyone was looking towards the dance floor.  Brennan turned and headed over to the stairs where the men had gone up.  He ran up the stairs to the second floor, he reached the top of the stairs and saw the two men standing beside a man at a table that looked out over the whole club.  Brennan walked right over to the man; he knew immediately who the man was even from the back.

            "Scott!"  Brennan said loudly.

            The man turned around, he was about Brennan's age with short dark brown hair, and brown eyes that widened when he saw Brennan.  "Brennan!  It's been along time."  Scott said with a huge smile, he stood up and gave Brennan a hug.

            "Yes, it has Scott."  Brennan replied.

            "So what brings you up here?"  Scott said as he returned to his seat.

            "Actually I came up here to talk with your boy's over there."  Brennan said pointing to the two men that bothered Shalimar and Emma.  "Especially that one."  Brennan pointed to the man that touched Shalimar's ass.

            "What about?"  Scott asked.

            "See the blond down there at that table."  Brennan explained as he pointed down to Shalimar.   

            "Ya! Boy is she hot!"  Scott said with a big smile. 

            "Ya, tell me about it."  Brennan said with a laugh.  "You see your boy's were putting the moves on my girl."

            Scott smiled at him.  "Your still the ladies man Brennan!"

            Brennan didn't reply to his comment, but just moved on to his point.  "One of them kind of put his hands were he shouldn't have, and if I see them go near her again I'll come back and take my it out on you and your friends!"  Brennan placed his hands on the table and lend closer to Scott.  "Do you remember the thing I could throughout of my hands along time ago?"

            "Ya!"  Scott replied.

            "Well I still have it and it hurts like hell when I used it on people.  Do you get what I'm saying Scott?"  Brennan said as he collected some energy into his finger and showed it to Scott.

            "Loud and clear Brennan it will never happen again."  Scott said clearing his throat.  "Ryan, Chris over here."  Scott called out the men, they moved over closer to him.  "Did one of you touch that girl down there?"  Scott asked pointing to Shalimar.

            "Maybe boss.  Why?"  Ryan asked.

            "If you do it again I'll break your fuckin arms, you got it!"  Scott explained in a mean tone.

            "Ok, boss!"  They said nervously.

            "If I see you get anywhere near her, he might go after you!"  Scott said referring to Brennan.  "He wouldn't be as nice as I would!"

            "We won't go near her boss!"  Ryan replied looking over at Brennan.

            "Get away from me!"  Scott said angrily.

            "I see you haven't lost your touch."  Brennan said with a smile.

            "I guess not!"  Scott said watching his men walk away.

            "I'll see you later, Scott."  Brennan said to his friend.

            "It was nice seeing you Brennan, you should come bye more often."  Scott replied as Brennan started to turn away.

            "I will!"  Brennan said. 

            Brennan walked back down the stairs and back over to the table to his friends. He took a seat beside Emma and Jesse, and took a sip of his beer.

            "Is everything ok?"  Shalimar asked him.

            "Ya, everything's fine now."  Brennan answered with a smile.
