Chapter One:

Night time…………

  It was late on a Friday night and the streets of the city were almost deserted. The few who were out were mostly groups of homeless people who huddled together in the boarded up entrances of long disused buildings. The night was quiet except for the wind and the occasional sound of the trains that passed close by.

  All of a sudden, out of the door to one of the abandoned building, came a young man with blond hair wearing a black leather jacket, his pounding feet shattering the silence of the street. He raced to the corner of the building he had burst out of, and down the dark side alley that led down to the water front. From the building burst three heavily built men wearing suites, handguns drawn and followed the first man down the alley.

  The men shot their guns blindly into the darkened alley, stopping when they heard the grunt of pain and the stumbling of footsteps ahead of them. They slowed down, walking slowly guns ready as they neared the area where they had heard the man stumble. As their eyes grew more accustomed to the darkness they saw a small pool of blood against the far side of a dumpster to their left. As one they moved around the dumpster and surrounded the purpose of their chase. The young man lay still on his back, eyes closed; blood coming out of a wound in his shoulder showed where the bullet had entered his body but not left. As one of the men signaled for the others to check his pulse and guard the body, he took out a cell phone and punched in some numbers.

  'Mitchell here. I need a med crew over by the water front.' The man said into the phone and looking at one of the other men that were bent over the body who nodded, he continued. 'The subject has a gun shot wound to his right shoulder. No exit wound. His stats are good and he's not bleeding too badly. He is currently unconscious.'

  Mitchell hung up the phone and turning back too his men told them too stay put and that their back-up would be there soon.

  As they turned back too the body a women dressed in black with long blond hair dropped down from the roof of the building to land on her feet silently behind them. She smiled and then taking a step forward tapped Mitchell on the shoulder. The three men whirled around, guns out to focus on the new arrival.

  'Hey boys, didn't your mother ever teach you not too play with guns?' she asked sweetly, as she continued to smile her eyes flashed yellow in the darkness.

  'Get her' Mitchell ordered too the other two men behind him who stepped forward obediently. 'Be careful not to kill her.'

  As one of the men made a grab for her left arm she stepped quickly to the side and brought her leg up slamming it hard into the man chest sending him flying head over heels into the alley wall. The second man took out a taser from his inside pocket and turned it on. He swung from side to side with it at the women, trying too drive her back too the wall, but she ducked quickly under his out stretched arm and grabbing his arm she twisted it behind the mans back shocking him with the taser.

  'Quite a mess you made, I'd be impressed if I didn't already know you were a mutant' Mitchell sneered at her. As she took a step towards him he held his gun up and pointed it at her face. 'One more step and I'll shoot you.'

  The women looked at the gun in Mitchell's hand and then her eyes moved past him too look at something over his shoulder.

  'You took your time getting down here Brennan' she called smiling.

   'I thought you could handle things on your own Shalimar' Brennen called back innocently.

   Startled Mitchell started to turn around to bring his gun to face this new attacker but as he did so Shalimar kicked his hand that held the gun and sent it flying into the air. As Mitchell looked from the women to the new attacker he began too feel scared.

  Brennan was standing a few meters behind dressed in a leather coat and a dark red jumper. His dark brown hair and brown eyes hard too notice in the dark alley. He held his hands, one over the other, and as Mitchell looked he saw flashes of electrical energy forming into a ball between his hands.

  From behind him Shalimar called out. 'It' lights out time creep.'

  At those words Brennan sent the ball of electrical energy into Mitchell's chest, throwing him backwards too land on the ground unconscious.

  Brennan walked slowly towards Mitchell's body, making sure that he was staying down, he then looked at the still bodies of the other two attackers who lay near by.

  'They're out cold.' Brennan said approvingly too Shalimar.

  'You know I could have taken him if you hadn't shown up right.' she replied.

  'Off course.' Brennan said cheerfully. 'Now where is this new mutant that they were chasing?'

  'Back behind the dumpster' Shalimar nodded to the dumpster and then walked towards it, stopping when she reached the end. 'Hey where'd he go?'

  Shalimar looked quickly around the dumpster, noting the blood on the ground. 'He was definitely here, but he must have got away when I was taking care of the GSA agents.'

  She took out a plastic vile and a swab. She soaked it in the already drying blood on the floor by her feet and then returned the swab too the vile doing it up securely and then placed it in her pocket.

  While she did this Brennan brought his right hand close too his face, and spoke into his com-link ring which linked him too Adam and the Mutant X headquarters.

  'Adam. It's Brennan. We located the GSA agents just after they had caught the new mutant.' Brennan continued regretfully. 'We took care of the GSA but the guys disappeared. He's been shot, but as he was able to walk away he couldn't have been too badly hurt. Do you want us too search the buildings for him?' Brennan asked.

  'No.' Adam replied immediately. 'I'm tracking a GSA truck that is on its way to your location. They'll be there in a few minutes you'd better leave.'

  'Got it, Adam.' Brennan replied. 'We're on our way home.'

  With that he looked too Shalimar who had walked to stand next too him.

  She smiled. 'Let's go shall we.'

  At that they walked down the alley and were swallowed up by the darkness; they're footsteps the only sound in the quiet night air as they slowly retreated until they too were swallowed by the night.
