~*Chapter 8 – The Trip To Genomex*~
~*At The Sanctuary*~
"Mind control," Brennan said walking towards the lab to the others, "It's mind control."
"What is?" Shalimar asked.
"That's how Eckhart is controlling Emma and Jules," Brennan said and then pointed at Camille, "She has the ability to control minds. But now that she isn't close to them, the link between her and Emma and Jules is broken. So they aren't being controlled."
"So right now their good?" Jesse asked.
"Well, not exactly. Eckhart has put a chip in them but I don't know where," Brennan said, "That's why Emma was normal for a while at the factory. The link between Emma and her was broken because she was knocked out. But Eckhart activated the chip and she was back in Eckhart's control again. Oh…and her name is Camille," he said pointing towards Camille again.
"Brennan, how do you know all of this?" Adam asked.
"Jules, she has the ability to communicate to people from a far distance," Brennan said, "Emma told her about me so she knows who to communicate with. They had the chips in them but I think Eckhart activated them at that time."
"How do you know this is true Brennan? What if they were just telling you lies to get you to go to Genomex?" Shalimar asked.
"I'm sure about it Shal," Brennan said, "I'm certain that they were telling me the truth."
"They were telling him the truth," Camille interrupted.
"Well now," Brennan said, "The silent one speaks at last."
"Oh be quiet. I'm talking about this now aren't I," Camille said, "This is what you wanted."
"Yes, yes it is," Brennan said, "Now tell us what you know."
"Everything that you said was true. But you can't be certain that it was the normal Emma and Jules communicating with you," Camille said, "Like the blonde said, it could be a scam."
"Brennan, you can't do anything yet," Adam said, "You can't save Emma now. We have to be certain that the contact that they had with you wasn't a fake."
"I can't promise you anything Adam," Brennan said, "I'm going to get Emma back. I love her and I'm going to get her back."
"Brennan, listen to me," Adam said angrily, "We all love her too. But you can't do anything now. We have to find more information. You have to give me your word that you won't do anything. Give me your word."
"Fine, fine," Brennan lied, "I won't do anything."

~*Genomex*~
"Do you think he'll come?" Emma asked her sister.
"He will Emma," Jules said, "He loves you a lot."
"I love him too," Emma said softly, "But what if he doesn't come? What will happen then? What if we're going to be at Genomex forever with Eckhart controlling us?"
"Emma, stop with the what ifs," Jules said, "Brennan will come and save us because he loves you and if he loves you as much as you love him then he'll come. He'll come."
"I hope so Jules, I hope so," Emma whispered to herself.

~*Sanctuary – At Brennan's Room*~
Brennan lay on his bed and looked at the clock on his desk. It read 12:09am. He got off his bed and went to his closet. Brennan took out a long black coat and put it on. He walked towards his door and slowly opened it. He looked out the door into the hallway to check if anyone was there. They should all be asleep by now, Brennan thought. He stepped out of his room and gently closed the door. He walked silently towards where all the cars were parked. Brennan walked through the rec room. Just as he was about to open the door and get a car there was a voice behind him.
"Where do you think you're going?" the voice said.
Brennan turned around and saw Camille stare at him.
"Well?" Camille said.
"I'm going to Genomex to get Emma, Jules, and her parents back," Brennan said to her.
"You're not supposed to," Camille said.
"Well, I don't care about what I'm supposed to do or not. I'm getting them back," Brennan said, "Go back to wherever you're supposed to be."
"No," Camille said a bit loudly, "I'm not going away."
"Be quiet or they'll hear us," Brennan said angrily, "Why don't you just go away?"
"I won't because I want to come with you," Camille said, "But if you don't take me I'll make some noise and wake the others up."
Brennan shrugged, "Why do you even want to come? So you can capture me and let Eckhart put a chip in me too?"
"No, it's not that. I want to help you," Camille said.
"You help me? How do I even know if you're telling the truth or not?" Brennan said, "You work for Eckhart."
"Do you think I really want to work for him?" Camille said, "I couldn't just walk out. I didn't want to be in a statis chamber like the other mutants he captures. I don't want to be tested and experimented on. I had no choice. I thought if that I worked with Eckhart he won't do anything to me. I want to help you save Emma, Jules, and my parents. You won't be able to save all of them without my help. And I know Genomex better than you do. I was there for all the 19 years of my life. You got to let me help you."
"All right," Brennan sighed, "Come on. Let's go."
Brennan and Camille walked out the door and got into a black SUV. He started the car and drove off.

~*Genomex – Where Emma And Jules Are At*~
"They're here," Emma said, "I can feel it."
"They are," Jules said, "We should get Mom and Dad."
"You go. Hurry, before Eckhart get's these chips on again," Emma said.
"All right," Jules said rushing out the door, "I'll be back soon."
"Hurry…hurry," Emma whispered to herself.
*************
~*Eckhart's Office*~
Eckhart sat on a black leather chair in his office looking at the screen on his computer. It showed all of the front, the back, and the inside of Genomex. A little figure walked up towards the front of Genomex.
"So he came," Eckhart said, "Mr. DeLauro was right, his love is pure."
Then another figure walked up behind the other one.
"There she is," Eckhart said, "He's brought Camille back here for me."
Eckhart leaned towards his desk and pressed a button on a speaker.
"Guards, we've got some visitors coming in at the front. Go give them a welcoming gift," Eckhart said, "Oh…and remember don't hurt them really bad have your fun but there is one thing, don't kill them."
He took his finger off of the button and sat back into his chair.
Eckhart smirked, "The fun is about to begin."
*************
~*At The Front of Genomex*~
Brennan walked slowly and cautiously towards the door of Genomex. He opened it and looked in to see if the coast was clear.
"What the hell are you doing?" Camille said eyeing him.
"I'm trying to sneak in undetected," he replied.
Camille sighed, "I'm from Genomex. They won't attack unless they know the person. I'll just say that you're a friend. It'll be easy."
"Oh yea, never thought of that," Brennan said opening the door for the both of them.
"That way," Camille said pointing towards the right.
"All right," Brennan said, "Let's go."
They walked towards the right and down the hall. They reached a hall with four ways to go.
"Which way?" Brennan asked.
"The left," she replied.
They turned towards the left and a group of at least 8 GSA agents stood in front of them holding tasers in their hands. They started to turn around and run but 6 GSA agents blocked their way.
"Hands up," one of them yelled.
Brennan started to put his hands up but Camille left them down.
"Hands up now. Yes, that means you too Miss DeLauro," the agent said.
"So Camille, this was gonna be easy you say," Brennan said quietly to her.
Camille sighed angrily and put her hands up into the air.
"I never knew," Camille said, "It would go this way."
