Chapter 4
Emma contacted Adam as Jesse helped Brennan into the Double Helix. She told him about the attack from the GSA agents and Adam was concerned that they would try again.
"Brennan was hurt," said Emma, "Dana used her powers."
"Jesse can bring him back to Sanctuary," said Adam, "I want you to stay with Danielle, as she seems to trust you, Emma. Keep an eye on her, okay?"
"Alright," said Emma, "Adam? I think you should know that Brennan lost his temper earlier. He didn't really mean to..."
"I'm glad you told me, I'll keep him here with me."
"Okay, how's Shal?"
"She woke up about an hour ago, she's resting but concious."
"That's a good sign right?" said Emma hopefully.
Adam paused, "Yes, it is."
"Great, see you later Adam."
"Be careful Emma."
"I will."
At Sanctuary, Adam checked Brennan out and found that he was alright but he needed to get some rest. He told Brennan to go to bed but Brennan wanted to stay with Shalimar for a while. Adam relented this time and went to talk to Jesse who was sitting in front of the computer upstairs.
"Did you find anything useful out?" asked Adam as he came up behind Jesse.
Jesse shrugged, "I don't think it's useful, but I did find out a little bit about Danielle."
Adam sat near Jesse who turned to face him.
"I found a few pictures and her diary. It looks as if Danielle and Dana went to school together and were best friends up until Dana started working for Eckhart. Dana had told Danielle she would never tell anyone about her power but she betrayed her to further her position in the company."
Adam nodded, "Anything else?"
"That's about it really. Her apartment is small and it looks as of she doesn't spend that much time there. Her life revolves around the shelters."
"Any idea why Danielle set up the shelters?"
Jesse nodded, "I found out that her mother was a runaway who became pregnant on the streets. She died when Danielle was three, leaving her daughter with a couple who had tried to help Danielle's mother," said Jesse pausing, "Her mother had become dependant on drugs."
Adam nodded, "That would explain why Danielle wants to help other runaways and homeless teens."
Brennan stood beside Shalimar, looking down at her. She looked a little better but Brennan wasn't fooled. He knew that if Adam couldn't find the right antidote that Shalimar probably wouldn't make it through the next week. Brennan watched as Shalimar opened her eyes and smiled at him.
"Hi Brennan," she said attempting to stretch her muscles, "I wish Adam would let me get out of here for a while, I am feeling much better."
"He's worried about you, Shal, we all are. He wants to make sure you can beat this poison-"
"Yeah... I guess every time I go unconcious, it isn't helping, is it?" Shalimar laughed nervously, "I will get well again, Brennan."
Brennan looked away, fearing that Shalimar may read the pain in his eyes, "Of course you will..."
"And I can't wait to kick your butt in a training session!"
Brennan laughed, "In your dreams Shal!"
"We'll just see about that," Shalimar smiled as Brennan looked into her eyes.
After a moment, Shalimar reached out and touched his arm.
"Shal, I-"
Whatever Brenan was about to say died on his lips as he watched Shalimar loose conciousness again. As her hand slipped from his arm, Brennan took hold of it and kissed her cheek, before laying her hand by her side. Then, Brennan touched his comlink and called for Adam.
Emma arrived back at Sanctuary later that night after Danielle had insisted that she went home. Emma had made Danielle agree not to leave her apartment until she turned up again in the morning. Danielle agreed and Emma was confident that she would keep her word, they had quickly become friends.
Emma was about to go to her room when a strange feeling washed over her. Puzzeled she walked to the garden to find Brennan sitting by the water, staring into it.
"What are you doing up?" she whispered as she knelt beside him.
Brennan didn't take his eyes from the water but shrugged, "Danielle okay? Did you tell her I was sorry?"
"She's fine and she understands, she knows we are worried about Shalimar," said Emma studying Brennan closely, "What's wrong Brennan?"
For a few minutes he didn't say anything and Emma wondered if he was ignoring her, but finally he spoke.
"It's all my fault..." he whispered.
"What's your fault?" said Emma, "What's happening to Shal, you mean?"
"I should have protected her..."
Emma put her hand on his shoulder, "You aren't psychic, Brennan, you couldn't have known what Harvey was going to do to Shalimar. It isn't your fault!"
Emma could see Brennan wasn't really listening to her.
"She's laying in there... getting worse by the hour, Em... and I can't do anything to stop it..."
To comfort him, Emma put her arms around him and hugged him close.
The next morning, Emma went to Danielle's apartment. She knocked a few times but noone answered. Emma used her telempathic powers to try and connect with her. What she saw made her afraid.
"Adam?" said Emma touching her comlink, "Danielle's gone, the GSA have her."
