Downtown, Sage's Apartment…………

  Shalimar starred around at the apartment. They had entered a large room that was obviously used as the lounge and dining area, as it contained a large leather couch with matching chairs as well as a wide screen TV and dining table. The room was a mess, showing signs of a struggle. The furniture had been knocked around and the TV smashed.

  'It looks like a fight took place here.' Shalimar remarked as she scanned the room looking for any sign that would tell them what had happened there. 'Do you think that the GSA got here before we did?'

  Before Brennan could answer they heard the sound of something falling to the floor in one of the other rooms. They looked around trying to pinpoint which room the sound had come from. Shalimar nodded to one of the doors on the left and started to make her way towards it, as Brennan followed closely behind ready to use his powers if the need arose. Shalimar gently grabbed the door handle and turned it opening the door slowly.

  The room was dark but Shalimar could still make out the form of something crouching on the floor. She ran her hand up and down the side of the door searching for a light switch. Her hands caught on the switch just as she was about to give up and she pressed it impatiently. Her eyes, having gotten used too the dark now took a moment to adjust too the sudden light that flooded into the room.

Sanctuary………

  'I can't raise Shalimar or Brennan on their Com-link rings. Something's jamming the signal.' Adam said worriedly, absently scratching the side of his face. He looked at Jesse and Emma who were waiting anxiously for their orders. 'You two had better take the Double Helix over there. Land on the roof, the kid lives on the top floor so you should have good access to his apartment from there. I'll continue trying to raise them from here.'

  Adam turned back too the computer he had been using and started typing fast, Oblivious when Emma and Jesse left the lab and headed too the jet.
