Building 24………

 Brennan screamed in pain as an electric charge was sent into his chest via the four pads Mr. Lyle had attached there. In that moment of complete pain Brennan found himself wondering if he caused people this much pain when he used his powers on them. He doubted it. His energy was just enough to knock the guy down, and it didn't last long. The pain he was feeling now was constant, only stopping every couple of minutes for MR. Lyle to ask a question.

  Brennan wasn't sure how long this had been going on for, but knew it had been a while. He'd passed out once already from the pain and he could feel himself slipping away once again. In those last few seconds of consciousness Brennan wondered what they'd do to him after this and if he really wanted to know.

  Agent Mitchell entered the lab just as Brennan lost consciousness.

  "How's it coming?" He asked as Mr. Lyle turned of the electric shock machine.

  "He's hanging on longer than I would of thought." Mr. Lyle said smiling insanely as he turned to look at Agent Mitchell. "But I'll break him; just give me a little more time."

  "You don't have more time Mr. Lyle." Mitchell answered glaring at Mr. Lyle. "Mr. Eckhart is not pleased with the amount of time this is taking. He's ordered me to return Mr. Mulwray to Genomex where a team has been assembled who are much better qualified to take care of the situation."

  "Telepaths?" Mr. Lyle spoke the word in disgust. Mitchell just nodded. "Fine. When is he to be transferred?"

  "You've got two hours." Mitchell said as he left the room leaving Mr. Lyle to decide what he was going to do to Brennan in that time frame.

Sanctuary………

"Adam." Shalimar called as she ran into the Med-Lab, where Adam was checking Sage's vitals once more. "We don't have time to wait for the guards to change. Jesse just intercepted an e-mail from the building saying that they're transferring Brennan to Genomex in less than two hours."

  "Okay, you guys had better get moving. Are you ready?" Adam asked looking up from the computer screen to face Shalimar.

  "Jesse's waiting in the Double Helix and Emma's just grabbing her Jacket." Shalimar answered quickly knowing full well that that wasn't what he was asking. Before he could open his mouth Shalimar continued. "Look Adam I'd better go. They're probably waiting for me."

  She gave Adam a little goodbye wave and then left as quickly as she had come in. Adam stared after her for a few moments before turning to the computer and turning on the com-link that linked him from Med-Lab to the Double Helix.

  "Jesse." Adam said as he started to quickly type commands into the computer. "I'm sending you a computer program. When you get to the building upload it into their computer systems before you go in. it should disrupt all their cameras and electrical equipment for about 10 minutes so you have to be quick."

  "Okay got it Adam." Jesse voice came over the com-link sounding a little anxious. "See you soon."

  Adam started to pace the room. He hated being left behind. He wanted to be there on the mission but he knew that he'd only get in the way. He didn't have any powers and they wouldn't be able to protect him if something went wrong. Sighing to himself he sat down in front of the computer and started typing. Well, he thought to himself, I might as well try to catch up on some work while I wait.

Double Helix………

  "Do we actually have a plan?" Emma asked as she looked from Shalimar to Jesse, who was sitting in front of her on the computers.

  "No, not yet." Shalimar said, not looking up from the computer screen. "According to the buildings mainframe they're holding Brennan in the interrogation section of the building in room C.3."

  "Where's that?" Emma asked, not wanting to go traipsing round the GSA building looking for Brennan.

  "I'm pulling up a schematic now." Jesse said as he typed away at the computer. A 3-d hologram of the building appeared in front of him, showing the different levels to the building, one level was flashing. "Room C.3 in on level 2, red section."

  "Okay so how do we get there?" Emma asked.

  Shalimar examined the hologram for a moment and then turned to look at Emma.

  "When we arrive we'll upload the disk that Adam gave us into their database, hopefully it'll help cause confusion among the employees. You and Jesse go through the front door and cause a distraction. I'll go round the back and find my way in there. As soon as I find Brennan I'll call you and we'll meet outside here." Shalimar indicated a place on the holographic map. "Then we high-tail it out of there." She looked questionably at the other two, who both nodded their understanding, before turning back to the computer controls.

  They spent the rest of the trip in silence all of them going over the plan in their heads, trying not to think about what would happen if they failed. Finally a beeping sound told them that they had arrived at their destination.
