"I Don't Know You Anymore" by Savage Garden.
~*Chapter 7 – The Message*~
~*At The Club Brennan And Emma Met*~
Brennan walked through the doors of the club where he and Emma first met. This was the only place he felt like being in right now. He walked over to the bar and sat down on a chair. The bartender behind the counter stopped cleaning the glasses and took Brennan's order.
"I'd like a beer please," Brennan said to the bartender.
"Sure thing," the bartender replied.
The bartender took out a bottle of beer, opened it, and slid it over to Brennan. The bartender got back to work and Brennan drank his beer. He started to think about Emma again. He sighed. Brennan didn't know what to do to get her back. He ran his free hand into his hair in frustration.
"Hey, you look like you have some troubles," the bartender said as he cleaned the glasses, "You wanna talk about it?"
Brennan shrugged, "Naw, it's okay."
"If you wanna talk you can," the bartender said, "That's what I'm here for, to clean glasses and listen if any customers have troubles. You sure you don't want to talk? I'm a good listener and I have a break soon."
"It's okay. Thanks though," Brennan said with a small smile.
"No prob," the bartender said as he walked away to serve some other people.
The song playing ended and the DJ put in a slow song. Couples started to walk into the dancing floor and dance together. Brennan sighed again and listened to the words of the music.
*Because I don't know you anymore*
It's true, Brennan thought, I don't know Emma anymore, she's like a whole different person to me now. What did Eckhart do to her, he thought.
*But what I wouldn't give to see your face again*
I would give anything to see you again Emma, Brennan thought, anything.
*Are you still the same*
Brennan sighed. I would like to know the answer to that, he thought sadly.
*I know I let you down. Again and again*
I have let you down Emma, Brennan thought, I couldn't get you back.
*Because I don't know you anymore*
Brennan took out his wallet. He took a five-dollar bill out and placed it on the counter. A picture of Emma fell out of his wallet while he was putting it back into his pocket. Tears filled his eyes.
*I see your face*
He had to get out of the bar. The song that was playing was too much for him to take.
*I see your face*
Brennan got out of the chair and walked out of the bar. A girl walked by him. He looked at her. Emma, he thought. Brennan walked up to the girl and grabbed her arm.
"Emma!" Brennan cried.
"What the hell are you talking about?" the girl said frighteningly, "My name's not Emma. My name is Carrie."
"Emma," Brennan whispered.
"Let go of me," the girl said, "Let go."
Brennan loosened his grip and the girl dashed away from him.
"Brennan," a voice said from his Com-Link, "you there?"
"Huh…oh yea," Brennan said into his ring, "what?"
"It's Jesse. Well, you should come back to the Sanctuary," Jesse said.
"Why? What's going on?" Brennan asked.
"Emma's sister woke up," Jesse said.
*************
~*Genomex*~
Emma opened her eyes and looked around. She was lying in bed in a room. Her head was throbbing with pain. What happened, she thought to herself.
"Emma, I'm glad that you are awake," someone said.
Emma looked around and saw Eckhart sitting on a chair beside her bed.
"What happened Eckhart?" Emma asked, "Why is my head throbbing?"
"Camille lost control of your mind when she passed out," Eckhart said, "She's been caught by Mutant X."
"What about Jules? Where is she?" Emma said.
"She's right her Emma," Eckhart said pointing to the bed next to her, "She's all right."
"I have to get Camille back," Emma said.
"We'll get her back Emma. You don't have to worry about that," Eckhart grinned, "Keep your mind on destroying Mutant X."
"Yes sir," Emma said.
"Good," Eckhart said, "Get some rest. I'll be back later."
*************
~*Eckhart's Office*~
"Did you find anything while you were prowling through Mr. Mulwray's head?" Eckhart asked Edward.
"Not much. He was putting up a fight in his head," Edward said, "It took me a while just to find to code to get out of their stupid safe house."
"What did you find Mr. DeLauro?" Eckhart asked impatiently.
"He loves her," Edward said.
"Is that it Mr. DeLauro? Because if it is, I've got better things to occupy my time with," Eckhart said.
"Well, I was thinking. If his love for Emma is pure then he should be willing to do anything for her. And his love will lure him here, where we will get him on our side and Mutant X will be done for," Edward said.
Eckhart grinned, "Good thinking Mr. DeLauro."
**************
~*Santuary*~
"Where is she?" Brennan asked, "I've got some questions to ask."
"She's in the lab with Adam and Shal," Jesse said, "She hasn't told us anything or answered any of our questions."
"I'll get answers out of her," Brennan said walking to the lab, "I will."
Brennan walked towards Adam and Shalimar in the lab and saw Camille sitting on a metal chair.
"Is that her?" Brennan said.
"Yes. She won't tell us anything. Her name, age, nothing," Adam said, "All we know is that she is Emma's sister and Jules' twin. Nothing else."
"Who are you?" Brennan asked Camille.
"I can't say," Camille said.
"You're going to tell me who the hell you are and what they want with Emma if it's the last thing I do," Brennan said.
"Well, then I guess you should get a ready to go six feet under if this is going to be the last thing you do," Camille said dryly.
"You know what, you're going to tell me what I need to know. If not I don't know what I'll do," Brennan said.
"Do whatever you want. I'm still not going to tell you anything," Camille said.
"Please! If you have at least a tiny bit of decency in you tell me what I need to know," Brennan cried looking into her eyes, "I beg you. Tell me! I have to get Emma back! I love her!"
Camille saw the pain in his eyes but she still couldn't say anything. She swore that she wouldn't.
"I'm sorry," she said, "I'm not to say anything."
"Is it Eckhart? Did he make you swear not to tell?" Brennan said, "Please. Eckhart won't have to know that you told us anything."
"I've told you, I can't say anything," she said.
*************
~*Brennan's Room At The Sanctuary*~
Brennan lied on his bed. They didn't get any information out of Emma's sister. She didn't say one word that could help them. He got off his bed and started walking around his room.
"Argh!" Brennan yelled in frustration.
He punched the wall of his room hard. Why is this happening to me, he thought. Brennan walked over to his bed and sat down on the edge of it. He rested his elbows on his knees and rested his head on his hands. A tear rolled down his face. Emma, he thought. Brennan pictured her face in his mind.
"Brennan…" a voice whispered.
Brennan lifted his head from his hands and looked around attentively.
"Brennan…" the voice whispered again.
"What? Who are you?" Brennan said.
"I'm Jules and Emma's here with me," the voice said.
"What? How? What's going on?" Brennan said.
"I can communicate to people from a great distance. Eckhart caught me and when Emma came to save me he did the same thing to me that he did to her," the voice said, "He made us bad and we are to fight against you. He put a chip in us to control us whenever Camille couldn't. Camille has the ability to control minds. The chips aren't on right now so that's why I am communicating with you."
"I don't understand. You don't even know me," Brennan said.
"I don't know you but Emma does. I don't have much time," the voice said, "Emma wants you to know that she's okay and that she loves you."
"How do I know that this is real?" Brennan said.
A picture flashed into his mind. It was of Emma and Jules in a room at Genomex.
"I'll get you guys back," Brennan said convinced that it was real, "I promise."
