Shalimar limped along the road, seeing a small town up ahead. The cut she'd made in her leg was bleeding badly and burned with each step. She suddenly stopped when the sound of gunfire zipped through the air. "Brennan!" she yelled as she began to run towards the town as best as she could.

George continue to walk along the middle of the street in search of Brennan. "Come out, come out wherever you are!" he taunted. Hearing a noise to his left, he turned and began firing. Slowly, he walked over to where he'd just emptied most of his gun, waiting to see Brennan's body. But all he saw was a dead raccoon. "Damn it!"

As Shalimar came down the street she saw George. She quickly got out of sight and crept along the buildings, keeping an eye on him the entire time.

Aaron heard his cell phone begin to ring so he picked it up.

"Aaron, it's MacKenzie. Something's up with the girl. Her device has been in the same place for fifteen minutes now."

"I'll take care of it," he said before hanging up the phone and tossing it onto the passenger seat. He stomped on the gas and kicked up the dirt of the road behind him.

Shalimar hid behind a pile of chopped wood that was against one of the buildings. She leaned forward a bit to see where George had gone but in doing so, the wood pile fell over.

George whipped around and began firing as he walked towards the pile of wood. When he got there, he kicked pieces of the wood in frustration as he found no one there. "You're starting to piss me off!" he yelled. Just as he was about to turn and walk away, something on the ground got his attention. He slowly knelt down and inspected spatters of blood on some pieces of the wood. He smiled as he stood up. "Let the games begin," he said.

George's cell phone began to ring in his pocket. He reached in and pulled it out, answering it angrily. "What?!?"

"It's me. Have you seen the girl?"

"No, why?"

"I think she took her monitoring device out. We're fucked if the police find out what we're doing."

George looked around the area as he talked on the phone. "Don't worry about it. They'll both be dead before either one of them has a chance to talk. I hit the boy so he oughta be giving up pretty damn soon."

"Where are you?"

"Kenmore," he said. "Hey wait a minute, why am I telling you? What's the point of the hunt if I tell you were the huntees are?"

"Look, we need to find the girl. Nevermind the damn game. I didn't count on her taking the device out. I'll be in Kenmore in about fifteen minutes." George hung up and continued driving as fast as he could.

George tucked the phone back in his jacket and began reloading his gun.

Shalimar slowly made her way up a fire escape on the side of one of the buildings. She got to the roof top and positioned herself against a wooden storage shed that sat in the corner. Wondering what was inside, she opened the door and was tackled to the ground.

Coming to her senses she realized that Brennan was on top of her, his fist about to connect with her face. "Wait! Wait! It's me!" she said as she put her hands up.

Brennan stopped his fist just in time and felt relief wash over him. "Shal!" he said, winded.

"You okay?" she asked as she wriggled out from under him.

"Yeah," he said, lying.

She looked him over and then spotted the blood all over his left thigh. "Brennan, you've been shot!"

Brennan nodded and leaned against the shed.

She took her belt off and tied it tightly above the wound, causing him to grunt in pain. "Sorry," she said as she inspected the wound. "You better stay put. There's no way you're going to be able to move around on this leg. You're bleeding really bad. Here, get inside the shed and stay low." Shalimar helped him into the shed and got him settled.

"I called Adam," he said.

"You what?"

"There's a payphone down there. He said he's on his way. Let's just wait here until he gets here."

"Are you crazy? We can't both stay here. I'll keep George occupied and away from here until Adam gets here."

"Have you seen Aaron?"

"No. You?"

"No, just George."

"Well, Aaron oughta be here soon," she said as she showed Brennan the bleeding wound in her leg.

"You didn't!"

Shalimar nodded.

Brennan leaned his head back and swallowed hard. "This is all so messed up."

"Listen, you stay put in here. I'll be back as soon as I can." She leaned over and kissed him on the lips, excited that he was returning it.

She smiled at him and closed the door of the shed before making her way to the side of the roof. Looking all around she didn't see George anywhere. She quickly went back down the fire escape and eased her way by the side of one of the buildings. Coming to the corner, she peered around and saw George sitting on an overturned trash can smoking a cigarette.

When he wasn't looking, she ran across the street and positioned herself so she could come up behind him.

Slowly she crept up behind him and got him in a head lock. He grabbed at her arms, trying to free himself from her grip but she held on with all her might. He fell down on his knees as he struggled to breathe.

"There you are!" Aaron said as he appeared out of nowhere.

Shalimar snapped her head up at him as she continued to hold George's neck.

Aaron shook his head and then began firing his gun at George. Several bullets struck him and Shalimar felt him die as she held onto him. She fell to her knees as his body came down to the ground.

"Who told you you could take your monitoring device out? Certainly not me," Aaron said as he stood near her, waving his gun around.

Shalimar remained still and didn't answer.

Aaron brought his gun up and aimed it at her. "You really shouldn't have done that because now I have to end the game sooner. And where's the fun in that?"

Aaron was about to pull the trigger when all of a sudden he was hit with a bolt of electricity. The force sent him back, knocking the gun from his hand, and knocking him unconscious.

Brennan limped over to Shalimar's side within seconds. "Shal? Shal, are you okay?" he said as he knelt before her, putting his hands on her shoulders. Just as he did she fell over onto her back, coughing up some blood. "Shal?!?" He looked down at all of the blood on her. Most of which was George's but some was her own. Taking a closer look, he saw a bullet wound in the right side of her chest, just above her breast.

Brennan placed his hand over the wound, trying to stem the bleeding. "Hang on, Shal!"

Just as the words came out of his mouth, the Double Helix appeared above them. Adam sent a force field down and retrieved them, quickly getting them into the jet.

As they appeared in the back of the jet, Adam ran over to assess their wounds. Brennan held onto Shalimar as tight as possible.
