Chapter 11: Twins Meet
Monday Morning: Eckhart's OfficeSydney stood in front of Eckhart's desk waiting for him to give her the lecture on using her abilities in school. "I don't want you to expose yourself as a mutant. I just want you to get close to this teenager," Eckhart explained handing Sydney a picture of Devon.
"Fine!" Sydney huffed and looked at the picture closely. The guy was kind of cute.
"I'll have some agents take you to school, then pick you up at three," Eckhart told her before Sydney turned around and left followed by two agents who had been guarding the door.
She stopped in front of her grandfather's door and entered. He was sitting at his computer desk. Fox looked up and quickly closed the top of the laptop down. Sydney was a little suspicious at her grandfather's action; it wasn't like him to keep secrets. "I just wanted to say goodbye before I went to school," Sydney said sauntering over to the desk.
"Goodbye sweetie, have fun!" Fox replied as she gave him a small kiss on the cheek.
"I will, but I'll see you later." Sydney said walking out of his office and off to school with the agents.
Fox slowly reopened the laptop once his door was shut. He studied the screen for a long time; he read the email that he had written up over and over again, before pushing send. "I hope she gets it," Fox thought to himself.

Eckhart sat at his desk quietly, until he was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Come in!" The door opened and an agent's head popped in. "Come on in agent Smith."
Smith entered and walked up to Eckhart's office. "We have a problem sir."
"What's the problem?" Eckhart asked looking up from his work.
Agent Smith cleared his throat. "It's Fox, sir he just emailed someone outside of the GSA."
"SHIT!" Eckhart yelled slamming his fist down on his desk. "Let me guess it was to his daughter?"
"Yes sir," Smith replied. "Would you like me to get rid of him?"
Eckhart thought for a moment. "Yes!"
The SanctuaryBrennan saw his son running down the hall towards the garage. "WOO, where are you going?"
"To get a car for school!" Devon answered as he stopped and answered his father.
"No you don't!" Brennan said walking up to his son.
Devon was pissed off. "Why not?"
"We're not going to let you take a car until after the first couple of days," Brennan answered.
"Oh man!" Devon huffed.
Brennan smiled. "So I'm taking you to school and your mom will pick you up at three."
"Fine!" Devon sighed and followed his dad to the garage and climbed into his dad's silver Audi.

After a semi long drive Brennan finally pulled up to the front of the school. There were many kids being dropped off by their parents or the bus. Devon started opening up the car door, but Brennan put his hand on his son's shoulder. "Now remember what we talked about the other day?"
"Yes dad." Devon said rolling his eyes.
"And?" Brennan asked wondering if he remember.
"Not to use ANY of my abilities at school and try not to get in trouble," Devon answered.
"Right!" Brennan said watching his son climb out of the car and he rolled down the window to speak to him on last time. "Don't forget your mom will pick you up at three."
"I won't." Devon replied, and then walked away from the car to find some of the friends he made while in Drivers-Ed.
Brennan took one last look at his son's retreating form, and then drove off back to the Sanctuary.
Devon walked in to the school, it was so busy, teens were everywhere in the halls, gabbing about how their summer was. Devon soon heard his name being called behind him; he turned around and saw three guys walking over to him. Devon smiled. "Hey Nick!"
Nick stopped in front of Devon. "So your parents let you come to public school?"
"Hell yes!" Devon replied.
"Sweet!" Nick replied. "Oh Devon this is Ben and Tyler, guys this is Devon." Nick did the introductions as they all greeted each other. "So what's your first class?"
"Chemistry," Devon answered.
"That sucks," Nick laughed. "I'll see you during break then."
"Sure," Devon said.
"Cool," Nick replied then walked away with Ben and Tyler right beside him.
Devon smiled and started walking down the hall towards his locker before his biology class.
Sydney was at her locker getting books out, she glanced up the hall and saw the guy Mason wanted her to watch. He was getting closer to her. 'How am I going to get his attention?' Sydney asked herself. She looked up and noticed that he was almost right on top of her.
Without warning Sydney shut her locker did a 180 and ran right into Devon as he walked by. Her books and papers spilled across the floor, they both bent down to start picking up the stuff. "I'm so sorry," Sydney apologized.
"Hey its ok," Devon said in a soft tone.
Sydney made a pile of books; she was about to pick them up when Devon did it for her. She stood up and ran her hand through her dark dirty blonde hair to get it out of her face. Devon followed suit and stood up handing her the books. Sydney gave him a big smile. She was surprised he was a lot hotter in person than in the picture Mason gave her. He was tall, with electrifying baby blue eyes and light dirty blonde hair. She loved the all black clothes that he wore, a pair of black khakis and a tight tee-shirt that showed off his muscles that he got from the extensive training his parents put him through everyday.
Devon grinned as he looked upon the girl; she was about 5'9 only an inch or two smaller then he, he couldn't take his eyes off of her she was thin and her hazel eyes looked upon him with excitement and interest. He looked her up and down quickly. She had on a tight pair of low cut jeans, a very sexy red spaghetti strap shirt, and a pair of black sunglasses clipped to the front of her shirt that she pulled out and placed on the top of her head to hold back her shoulder length hair.
"Thanks!" Sydney said softly taking the books from Devon.
"No problem," Devon replied smiling, he looked at her for a minute feeling a familiar fib coming from her. "Have we met, before? It seems like I've met you before somewhere."
"I don't think so," Sydney answered even though she felt like she knew. "I'm Sydney," Sydney introduced herself holding out her hand of him to shake.
"Devon," he replied shaking her hand.
"Well thank you again Devon," Sydney told him before walking off.
"You're welcome," Devon answered to her before going to his locker. Devon grabbed his books and walked to his class.
There were a lot of kids already in the room, sitting at the lab tables waiting for class to start. He looked around and immediately saw Sydney sitting by herself in the back of the room talking to the two popular girls in front of her. He took a deep breath and stood up straight trying to show off a little to all the girls in the room, then started walking over to Sydney.
Sydney looked up when she saw her two new friends look up behind her and started giving the person behind her sexy smiles. She turned around and found Devon standing behind her, even though she already had known it was he from her feral abilities.
Devon smiled at the girls. "Is this seat taken?" He asked her.
"No have a seat," Sydney replied.
Devon placed his books on the desk and took a seat on the stool. The two girls in front of him kept smiling and almost drooling over him. "Hi, I'm Devon," he introduced himself.
"Hi," they both replied barely.
Sydney rolled her eyes and turned her attention to Devon. "This is Emily and Lindsay," Sydney told him pointing to each of the girls.
"Nice to meet you both," Devon said using his best manners that everyone back at the Sanctuary taught him, especially his mom and dad, who had always expressed good manners towards women.
Before any of the girls could reply the Chemistry teacher entered the room and got the attention of the class. The male teacher wore a blue lab coat and had on a black pair of thick geek glasses. "Alright class, even though it's the first day of class I want to see if I can do a simple lab with you," the teacher announced, just as everyone groaned. "Everyone follow me to the lab and your lab partner is the person you're sitting beside."
Everyone stood up and followed the man through a door connected to the next room. Their lab was to use a burner to heat up some chemicals to see which ones would react to most amount of heat. Sydney and Devon were probably the only ones that actually had fun during the whole lab.
After the class Sydney had left the room without saying goodbye to Devon. He soon caught up with her outside on the steps of the school right before it ended. "Hey no goodbye?"
Sydney smiled and walked down the stairs and over to a black Isuzu parked on the side of the street all with many other cars waiting to pick up kids.
Devon heard Nick walk up behind him and hit him on the arm playfully. "So Devon did you like public school?"
Devon turned around and noticed Ben and Tyler were with him. "Ya it was a lot more fun than home schooling."
"Yes and the women are a lot hotter." Nick explained. "Like that woman over there stand by that black car." Nick pointed.
Devon turned around and looked in the direction Nick pointed. He couldn't believe it. "Dude that's my mom you're talking about!"
"SHIT, she's fine!" Nick replied with a laugh.
Devon rolled his eyes. "Dude that's just gross." Devon didn't want to hear it any more and started down the stairs. He could still hear the guys behind him talking about his mom and he quickly ran over to her trying to get out of earshot.
"Hey you ready to go, honey?" Shalimar asked with a huge smile.
Before Devon could reply he heard Sydney's voice yelling over to him. "BYE DEVON!"
Shalimar looked over and saw the girl that yelled in the front seat of an Isuzu passing by. Shalimar turn her head around to hide her face from the agents in the car, but she saw Devon smile and wave to the car.
As soon as the car passed Devon looked down at his mother. Her face was pale and fear spread across her face. "Devon, get in the car!" Shalimar ordered as she ran to the driver's seat.
"Ok," Devon climbed in and put on his seatbelt, just as his mother took off down the road. "Mom what's wrong?"
"I have to talk to Adam fast!" Shalimar said as she ran through another stoplight.
Devon eyes widened and he gripped the side of the car a little nervous of the new side of his mother that he was seeing. "Why?"
"Just because," Shalimar semi snapped.
Devon didn't reply in fear of angering his mother more. He glanced down at the speedometer and saw they were reaching 100 mph. Shalimar quickly pulled the car off the side of the road on to a dirt path, still going about 100 mph. Devon was startled by the change of terrain they quickly made. The road was all dirt and mostly straight, but with in minutes Devon noticed a rocky side of the mountain ahead.
Devon squirmed in his seat and glanced over at his mom. "Ah mom, are you trying to kill us?"
"No," Shalimar said with a laugh as she shifted the car into fifth topping the car's speed out at 160, heading straight for the side of the mountain.
Devon didn't want to look but he did, the wall came up fast and with in seconds they passed right through the wall like it wasn't even there. He glanced back and saw the rock wall.
Shalimar smiled at her son. "It's an illusion."
"Oh!" Devon said glancing at his mom.
Shalimar was driving up a tar road, almost like a runway. The road's incline increased gradually, causing Shalimar to increase the car's speed to make it up. Shalimar quickly shifted the car down to four and into three, as she slowed the car down as they reached the top of the hill. The road opened up into a cave, Shalimar whipped the car around in a 180 and stopped the car on a plate form. She shut of the car and climbed out along with Devon.
"What was that?" Devon asked following his mom over to a door, as he watched her push a button on the side of the wall and the car started to move up towards the ceiling on the plate form she had parked on, the car disappeared through a opening in the ceiling that soon closed once the car passed through it.
"What do you mean?" Shalimar didn't really understand what he was asking.
"Where are we?" Devon asked again walking into what looked like an elevator.
Shalimar closed the elevator and it started moving upward. "Under the Sanctuary. We took a short cut home." She answered with a smile.
"That was some short cut." Devon laughed.
The door opened and Devon found himself looking into the lab. They both walked out and were greeted by Brennan who looked a little worried. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Shalimar replied, but Brennan knew her better then that.
"I'm going up stairs," Devon said to his parents.
"Alright," they both replied.
Once Devon left the room Brennan turned to Shalimar. "Honey what's wrong?"
"One of Devon's classmates is working for the GSA," Shalimar announced.
"Really," Brennan replied.
"Yes two agents picked the person up," Shalimar answered just as Adam entered the lab.
"Agents at the school?" He asked walking up to the computer in the lab.
"Ya two of them," Shalimar replied crossing her arms.
"Hmm…" Adam logged on to the server on the computer as he thought about why two agents would be picking someone up at the school. He was about to give his opinion on the matter when a message popped up on the screen 'Shadowfox has one new email'. "Ah, Shalimar you have a new email."
"What?" Shalimar was surprised.
"Someone emailed you," Adam repeated.
"Are you sure?" Shalimar asked still puzzled.
"Yes I'm sure," Adam said.
"That can't be," Shalimar said walking over to him.
"Why can't it?" Brennan asked.
Shalimar took Adam's seat. "Because I've never given my email out to anyone." She quickly logged on to her email account and checked the message. She quickly skimmed the email, and her expression changed immediately.
"What's wrong?" Brennan asked placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
Shalimar took a minute to reply. "It's from my father."
"What?" Adam and Brennan asked in unison.
"My father wrote me, he's in town and wants to meet me and my husband tonight." Shalimar stated.
"Why after all these years does he want to see you?" Adam asked her.
"He wants to tell me something important about… Sydney." Shalimar answered almost choking on the last word. No one had spoke or mentioned Sydney's name with in five years.
All three were silent, Brennan looked at Shalimar. "Let's go!"
Shalimar looked over at Adam to get his approval. "Only if Jesse and Emma go with you, in case it's a trap."
"Thanks Adam," Shalimar replied. She still couldn't believe that her father wanted to talk to her and Brennan about their missing daughter.
