Chapter 6: Emailing Adam
Lydia looked over at Shalimar, who was softly crying to herself. "I'll help you if you want me to." Lydia told her.
"The only way you could help is if you can get to a computer and email Adam and tell him were we are." Shalimar explained sarcastically.
"I'll do it!" Lydia said eagerly.
"But how can you get past the guards?" Shalimar asked.
"I can go invisible remember." Lydia explained.
"Oh ya." Shalimar forgot all about her Mutant ability, she was too worried about Brennan and his condition.
"Here let me show you!" Lydia said.
Shalimar looked at Lydia and noticed a silver substance covered her body quickly and she soon disappeared. "Whoa!" Shalimar said as her eyes widened.
"Yow think that's cool watch this." Shalimar heard Lydia.
She watched the silver substance rush over Brennan's body and he disappeared as well. "You can make other people invisible?" Shalimar asked.
The silver substance fell off of Lydia and Brennan and disappeared admittedly. "Only if I want them to. I have to remain touching a part of their body, if I don't then the reappear." Lydia explained.
Shalimar was about to continue her conversation with Lydia, when she felt Brennan move on her lap. She looked down and saw Brennan's eyes open slowly. "Hey, how do you feel?" Shalimar asked holding back her tears.
"My head and neck hurt like hell, and my stomach aces like a mother fucker!" Brennan explained holding onto his stomach.
Shalimar moved his hand away and lifted up his shirt to take a look. "Brennan your all black and blue."
Brennan saw the concern on her face. "That's what you get when you don't cooperate with Eckhart." Brennan laughed, but winced at the pain that it created. "Boy does that fuckin hurt."
"Don't move to much, they could have broken some of your ribs." Shalimar ordered him. "What did they do to you?"
"They used me as a human punching bag, and some electro-shock thing when you didn't answer their questions." Brennan explained. "I didn't think their little electrical thing would work on me because I'm Elemental, but it did!"
Shalimar smiled at him. "Your so brave." She said jokingly.
"Hey this is no joking matter, I'm really in pain here!" Brennan wined.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it!" Shalimar said leaning down and kissing his forehead.
"It's alright! Just promise me that you won't give into them, all they want is Adam!" Brennan said.
"I promise!" Shalimar replied.
"Alright help me up!" Brennan said to her.
Shalimar slowly lifted him up off of her lap and help him lean against the wall beside her. Shalimar stared at Brennan, she saw the pain on his face, and knew that she was next and that he had to ask Lydia for her help. "Do you think you could get an email to Adam?" Shalimar asked turning towards Lydia.
"Ya, I could try!" Lydia replied.
"Brennan do you have a piece of paper?" Shalimar asked as she pulled out a pen with her left hand, from underneath her jacket.
Brennan looked through his pocket and pulled out a napkin. "All I have is this napkin."
"It'll due." Shalimar replied taking the napkin out of his hand. She unfolded it and started writing instructions on it. She finished writing on one side and flipped over the napkin and started on the other side. Lydia and Brennan watched her write as fast as she could. "There!" Shalimar said picking up the napkin and handing it to Lydia. "Lydia you have to follow each step to be able to email Adam."
Lydia looked at the napkin; it had at least fifteen steps scribbled on it. "Ok! But when do I go?"
"When they come back for me!" Shalimar explained.
"I won't let them take you!" Brennan said angrily.
"Brennan I'll be fine, I'm a big girl." Shalimar said rubbing Brennan's shoulder to reassure him. "You on the other hand, someone needs to watch you while were gone."
"I'll be alright." Brennan replied.
"That's not good enough for me." Shalimar explained.
"Faith and Ben can watch over him." Lydia interrupted.
Shalimar nodded her head yes in reply, and Lydia waved her friend over to her. Ben and Faith stood up from their corner and walked over to Lydia. "Shalimar I'd like you to meet Ben and Faith." Lydia introduced.
"Nice to meet you both." Shalimar said.
"You to." They both said.
"Can you watch Brennan over here while were gone?" Lydia asked her friends.
"Sure, but were are you going?" Ben replied.
"I'm going to help Shalimar get us out of here." Lydia explained.
"Good I need to get out of this hell hole!" Faith announced.
"You and me both." Brennan replied with a smile.
Shalimar looked towards the door then turned to Lydia. "Showtime Lydia."
"What?" Lydia asked in confusion.
"Two men are coming down the hall." Shalimar explained.
"That is so cool." Lydia said with a huge smile.
Brennan chuckled. "You should see her Feral in bed." Shalimar elbowed Brennan in his side before he told them about their whole sex life. "Hey I'm injured, reframe from the hitting." Everyone laughed at him.
"Your so silly." Shalimar said giving him a kiss. "But I'm still in love with you."
"That's good!" Brennan replied kissing her again quickly.
"Alright do your thing Lydia." Shalimar explained and watched Lydia disappear in front of her eyes.
The door swung open just after Lydia went invisible, and two agents barged in. "You!" One of them said pointing to Shalimar. She stood up and Brennan grabbed her hand, she looked down at him.
"They won't take you with out a fight from me!" Brennan said softly as he tried to stand.
"I'll be ok Brennan." Shalimar replied giving him a kiss.
"Come on move it!" The agent ordered.
Shalimar walked over to the two agents and followed them out of the cell, with Lydia right behind her. They led her down the hall and into another room.
Lydia watched the two men push Shalimar into a chair as the door shut behind them. She took a deep breath and ran down the hall, she turned several times onto different halls making her way to the computer room. She slowed down and stopped in front of a door. Lydia grabbed onto the doorknob, she opened the door slowly and peeked in. The room was almost pitch black, except for the light coming from the four computers in the room. She went over to one of the computers and sat down. Lydia placed the napkin down beside the keyboard and it appeared as she removed her hand from it. She connected to the Internet and started reading Shalimar's instructions. The first ten steps were just different links that lead her to Shalimar's secret email address. Lydia then read the first really step that would help them out of this crazy ass place.
Step 1: login as Shalimar Fox
Step 2: password fuse
Step 3: Type a message to Adam, his email address is under my address book
Step 4: Include in the message where we are or were you think we are, and how Eckhart is after him. Also mention what happened to Brennan. Adam will probably think someone hacked into my account so tell him my code name Shadowfox
Step 5: Send the message and pray that he gets it in timeLydia quickly typed up the message and made sure that she put everything that Shalimar wanted her to put in. She sent the message and disconnected the Internet; Lydia grabbed the napkin and had it disappear. She got up from the computer and left the room as quietly as she could. Lydia made her way back to the cell; she stopped when she heard screaming coming from behind the door that Shalimar was in. Lydia flinched when she heard the painful screams of Shalimar, but she made herself move on back down to the cell.
Brennan talked to Ben and Faith about his powers and Mutant X. He stopped when he saw the door open and shut without anyone walking through. Soon Lydia appeared heading towards them. "Did you email him?" Brennan asked.
"Yes!" Lydia replied.
"Did you see were they took Shalimar?" Brennan asked as he winced from the pain in his stomach.
"She's just down the hall." Lydia answered wondering if she should tell Brennan about the screams she heard from the room.
"If they hurt her, I don't know what I would do!" Brennan said angrily. "Yes I do, I'd kill them!"
Lydia decided she definitely wasn't going to tell Brennan about the screams, she didn't want Eckhart's agents to kill him or Shalimar. "I don't think they will."
"I hope your right!" Brennan replied.

Adam went down to the lab around six o'clock, he found Jesse a sleep at the computer. Jesse was up all night trying to find were Eckhart to Shalimar and Brennan, with little success. Adam walked up to Jesse and nudged him gently. "Jesse! Jesse wake up!" Adam whispered.
"Huh, what?" Jesse said shooting up from a deep sleep.
"You fell a sleep." Adam explained.
"What time is it?" Jesse asked as he stretched his arms.
"Six o'clock." Adam answered.
"Oh shit!" Jesse said as Adam leaned over and pushed the return key on the computer to wake it up from its sleep. Jesse stood up from the computer chair to let Adam sit down.
"Any luck last night?" Adam asked taking a seat.
"No, absolutely nothing, everything was a dead-end." Jesse replied.
Jesse and Adam turned their attention to the computer when a message box showed up flashing 'ONE NEW MESSAGE'. They both new who the message must have been from, because only two other people knew Adam's email beside Jesse and Emma. Adam quickly double clicked on the box and a message popped up.
"It's from Shalimar!" Adam said excitedly.
"What does it say?" Jesse asked hovering over Adam's shoulder.
"She says that they're in Genomex's lab nearest to the club you were in last night. Also that they tortured Brennan and that he is all bruised around his stomach, and may have some broken ribs." Adam summed up for Jesse. "And there after ME!"
"How do we know its Shalimar?" Jesse asked.
"She signed the message with her code name, and only we now that." Adam explained.
"That's good enough evidence for me." Jesse said. "So when do we go?"
"Tonight!" Adam replied.

Brennan was extremely worried about Shalimar; she had been gone for hours, which was much longer than they had him. He hoped they would bring her back soon; he wanted to hold her in his arms and tell her it would be ok. Lydia tried to comfort Brennan but he was like a brick wall when it came to Shalimar.
Ben heard footsteps coming down the hall. "She's coming back."
Brennan tried to stand up but he was in too much agony to move even an inch. The door flew open and Shalimar stumbled in, and Lydia ran to her side to help her over to Brennan.
"Shalimar are you ok?" Brennan asked her as Lydia helped her sit down beside him.
"I think so." Shalimar said hoarsely.
"What did they do to you?" Brennan asked again grabbing a hold of her hand.
"This!" Shalimar replied as she lifted up her shirt to show six huge red marks on her stomach.
"What is it?" Lydia asked her.
"Electro-shock!" Shalimar explained. "Six different wires!"
"Those son of a bitch's!" Brennan said angrily.
"Come down Brennan, it didn't hurt that bad." Shalimar lied, it hurt so bad that she wanted to scream out in pain right there. "Did you email Adam?"
"Yes, let hope he gets it." Lydia replied.
"Good, he should be checking his mail sometime this morning." Shalimar said leaning her head against Brennan's shoulder.
Brennan kissed Shalimar's forehead and brushed away her face. "We should be out of here soon!"
