Take her hand
she will lead you through the fire
give you back hope
and hope that you won't take too much
respecting what is left
she cradled us
she held us in her arms
unselfish in her suffering she could not understand
that no one seemed to have the time
to cherish what was given
and I would be the last to know
and I would be the last to let it show
I would be the last to go...
Mary walks...- Sarah Mclachlan
"Why did you let her go by herself?" asked Shalimar.
"What?" asked Adam.
He looked up from the computer to see Jesse, Shalimar and Brennan standing in front of her.
"Why was Emma there all alone?" asked Jesse.
"We should have been there" said Brennan.
"Do you really think it would have mattered?" asked Adam.
"Yes" replied Shalimar "Emma is one of us, she shouldn't be experiencing something like this alone"
"Something like this?" asked Adam "Do you know what this is? Because I don't"
Shalimar looked at Brennan, confusion written on all their faces.
"Could you eleborate?" replied Jesse.
"Something happened to Emma on that building last night" replied Adam "and I'm not even sure if she knows what it was"
Emma sat in front of the reflection pool, lightly skimming the water with her hand. She quietly hummed the Sarah Mclachlan song that played on her discman. She jumped when a hand touched her shoulder.
"Sorry" said Brennan.
"Its okay" she said Smiling.
Brennan sat down next to her and looked at her. He was worried about her. Her blue eyes were dull with exhaustion and sadness, her smile, when she smiled was forced.
"Ya want to talk?" he asked.
Emma leaned her head on his shoulder and shook her head. She laced her hand with his and stared into the water.
Brennan kissed her knuckles and smiled sadly. Emma meant so much to him. Her quiet smile, her always shocking amount of compassion, her heart and mind. Since they had met, Brennan had tried to protect her. It was almost an obsession with him. Now she was hurting and he could do nothing to help her.
"You know you can talk to me, right?" he asked.
"Yeah Bren" she whispered "I know"
He kissed the top of her head, and closed his eyes. He didn't know what he would have done if I wasn't for her. She kept him sane, she had saved him so many times. The way she had saved him, meant more to him than just keeping him physically safe. She had made sure he always felt loved, and in that he had felt safe. Now when she needed him, he was going to make sure she felt loved.
THE NEXT DAY….
"Shalimar? Have you seen Emma?" asked Jesse.
"She's in the lab with Adam. Why?" asked Shalimar.
"No reason, I just was helping her out with something" said Jesse skirting the issue.
Brennan looked at Shalimar and the two got up and followed Jesse to the lab.
"Em?" asked Jesse pulling her into a corner "I found it"
Brennan stood behind the glass doors watching the two. His heart felt a stab of jealousy when Emma smiled brightly at Jesse and embraced him.
"Thank you Jesse!" she said "Adam, do you need me?"
"No" said Adam smiling at her.
Emma smiled and walked out the door. She pulled her coat on and walked out to where the cars were stored.
"Wait Emma!" yelled Brennan "You going into town?"
"Yeah"
"Can I come with you?"
"Yeah" replied Emma "Hop In"……………
