~*CHAPTER 2 - GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS*~

~*In The City*~

"Hey, have you seen this girl?" Brennan asked to almost every person that walked by him and Emma and everyone said no.

They walked back to the car without any information.

"We're not going to find her this way," Emma said opening the door to the car.

"It's the only way we've got right now," Brennan said getting into the car.

"No it's not. I'm going to try to find her with my telempathy," she said.

Emma got into the car. She closed her eyes and focused on her sister. All she could see is darkness. She opened her eyes again.

"Find anything?" he asked.

"Nothing," she replied.

"Let's see if Shal and Jesse found anything, k?" Brennan said.

"Yea, sure," she said.

Brennan lifted his hand up to his face and talked into his Comlink ring.

"Hey, anyone there?" Brennan said into his ring.

"Hey Brennan, what's up?" Shalimar said.

"Nothing, just checking to see if you and Jesse found anything yet," Brennan said.

"Zilch. How about you guys?" asked Shalimar.

"Nothing," Brennan said.

"Hey guys," it was the voice of Adam.

"Hey Adam," they all said.

"What's up Adam? Did you find something?" Jesse asked.

"Well, I have some good news and some bad news," Adam said, "You all should come back to the Sanctuary."

"Alright," they all said.

~*Back at the Sanctuary*~

Everyone walked into the Sanctuary and over to Adam.

"Hey, so what's the good news and what's the bad news?" Shalimar said getting straight to the point.

"Which do you want first? Good or bad?" Adam asked.

"How about the good news then the bad news?" Jesse asked.

"Alright, so what's the news?" Emma said.

"The good news is that I've found your parents, Emma. I have called them and explained to them what is happening. They have agreed to meet with us or if you want just you tomorrow at one of the underground safe houses," Adam said, "They have agreed to give us any information about your sister."

"Oh, okay. What's the bad news?" Emma asked.

"I have just heard from Proxy Blue that Eckhart has caught a new mutant. Proxy Blue doesn't know the name of the new mutant. But the description she gave me of the new mutant sounds a lot like Jules," Adam said.

"No, it can't be Jules," Emma said slowly, "It can't."

"Don't worry Emma," Shalimar said, "It probably isn't Jules."

Brennan put his arm around Emma. "It's okay. If it's her, we'll get her back."

"Thanks. What time are my parents going to be at the safe house?" Emma said.

"Around noon. Do you want us to come with you?" Adam said.

"If you guys don't mind, I would like to see them by myself," Emma said.

"Alright," Adam said.

~*That Night*~

Emma tossed and turned in her bed. She tried so hard to get to sleep but she couldn't.

"Argh! Why the hell can't I get to sleep?" she said frustrated.

Emma knew why she couldn't get to sleep. It was because she was too nervous about meeting her parents that she couldn't get to sleep. She got out of bed and walked out of her room. She walked around the Sanctuary for a while to see if anyone was awake.

"Hmm...I guess I'm the only one awake," she said to herself looking around the deserted rooms.

Emma walked into the rec room and planted herself on a couch. She saw a book on the table. Must be Brennan's, she thought. Emma took the book off the table, turned on the lamp beside the couch and opened the book. She started to read it when she heard footsteps from across the room. She looked up from the book and saw Brennan walking towards her.

"Hey...Why are you still awake?" he said yawning.

"I can't get to sleep. Why are you awake? I thought everyone was sleeping," she said moving her feet off the couch so Brennan could sit down.

"I heard something and it woke me up. I went to go check out what it was," Brennan said sitting down beside Emma.

"Sorry, it was probably me who woke you up," she said.

"It's alright. So why can't you get to sleep?" he asked.

"Well, I'm really nervous about seeing my parents again," she said closing the book and putting it back on the table.

"Hey...don't worry about it. It'll be alright," Brennan said putting his arm around her shoulders and pulling her close.

"Your probably right. I don't have anything to worry about," Emma said placing her head on his chest.

"Come on," he said starting to stand up.

"Huh...what? Where are we going? I was just getting comfortable," Emma said.

"We are going to get you to sleep. You need to stop worrying and get some rest," he said taking her hand in his and leading her to her room.

"Oh...all right," she said following him.

They walked to Emma's room. Emma climbed into her bed.

"Goodnight Emma. Try to sleep, k," Brennan said giving her a kiss on the forehead.

Brennan started to walk out the door.

"Wait, stay a while," Emma said.

"Emma...you gotta get some rest. I have to get some rest too," Brennan said.

"Sleep here," Emma said lifting up her blanket.

Brennan smiled. He walked over to her bed and climbed in.

"Goodnight," Brennan said with his arm around her waist.

"Night," Emma said laying her head on his chest.
