Chapter 11: Interruptions
Brennan looked at Shalimar, "Can I do the honors?"
"Be my guest," Shalimar smiled back.
"I'll need a distraction," Brennan whispered.
"It'll be my pleasure," Shalimar replied as they moved apart.
Ashlocke watched Shalimar walk away from Brennan and over to him, she was shaking her head. "You know it's hard for a girl to get involved with a serial killer. I mean look at you, unstable, psychotic, and unpredictable. I would be surprised if any girl would got within 10 feet of you without running away."
Brennan watched as Shalimar taunted Ashlocke, he smiled proudly; his girl was a great manipulator. Ashlocke was getting upset and Brennan could easily tell.
Shalimar smiled at Ashlocke, "You know you should really take some lessons from Brennan, maybe he can give you some pointers on love. It's obvious you don't know anything about the way to treat women, relationships, or even love." Shalimar was having so much fun playing with Ashlocke, but the plan was working which was the main thing, he was keeping all his attention on Shalimar.
Ashlocke was fully enraged at Shalimar's taunts, so he slowly gathered a small ball of electricity, and was about to fire it at Shalimar. Brennan saw his opportunity; quickly making a ball of energy in between both of his hands he threw it at Ashlocke. Ashlocke stumbled backwards towards the stairs leading to the basement; Brennan threw another hitting Ashlocke in the chest. Ashlocke stumbled back and lost his balance on the top step. Shalimar moved back over to Brennan as they both watched Ashlocke fall down the stairs. They could hear his body hit each step until silence; they both knew he had hit the bottom.
Shalimar started to giggle; Brennan gave her a weird look. "What's so funny?"
"That was the first time we actually kissed without any interruptions," Shalimar pointed out.
"Ya it was, wasn't it?" Brennan wrapped his arm around Shalimar's shoulder and pulled her in close to him.
"Ah huh," Shalimar smiled as she turned to face him. "You know we should go see what happened to Ashlocke."
"Ya in just a sec." Brennan said with a smile, he started to lean down to kiss her again, when he heard someone run into the room.
They broke apart and looked in that direction believing it was members of The Strand, but all they saw was Lydia run in looking over her shoulder just about every step.
"Lydia?" Shalimar was surprised she was here.
She ran up to them, "We need to go! I just pissed off a whole group of New Mutants back there and they're heading this way." Brennan and Shalimar just stood there. "Come on LET'S GO!!" She pulled on Shalimar's jacket getting them to follow her.
All three ran out down the hall in the direction Brennan had originally come through. They were about to reach the end of the corridor leading to the door, when they suddenly were surrounded. Lydia and Shalimar took their defensive positions, but Brennan grabbed both of their hands. "Too many, this way!" He pulled them off into a nearby room.
"We can take them," Lydia announced.
"I don't want to take my chances," Brennan said rushing over to the window after locking the door behind them. "Ladies first!" Brennan announced pointing to the window.
"Such a gentlemen," Shalimar smirked as she followed Lydia out of the window.
Brennan looked back at the door hearing the mob behind it try to get it open, before going through himself. He jumped down, noticing the girls were waiting for him. "Come on!" He gestured for them to follow.
The trio ran past the front door, just as some mutants ran out after them. Brennan unlocked the car and they piled in as the mutants came closer. He started the car and peeled out right before the group reached the car.
Lydia watched the group of mutants return to their headquarters. "That was a close one."
"We've had worse," Shalimar replied with a smile, as she turned around to face Lydia in the back seat. "I was surprised to see you here." Shalimar paused, "Why are you here?"
"I was ordered to find Deacon after he left," Lydia explained. "The FBI was sort of pissed that you left so suddenly and I have to admit I was supposed to hunt you down, but Deacon kinda went postal. A few days ago he just left, no goodbye or anything, just vanished."
"He just left?" Shalimar asked.
"Yup just left in the middle of the night. At least that's what Ben told me, see they were all with the President while I was out hunting you down." Lydia explained. "So I got a call ordering me to find Deacon instead."
"So did you find him while you were in there?" Shalimar asked.
"I didn't see him inside The Strand, until I tripped over his body," Lydia hung her head.
Shalimar's eyes widened, "He's dead?"
"Ya, it was horrible you should have seen it," Lydia started to explain. "I entered a room, it was dark I couldn't see anything so I went to my feral vision. I tripped over him; I didn't even see him there. His face was all smashed in; there was a lot of damage, too much blood. I could smell it when I entered the room, but I didn't think it was him. Shal I didn't even recognize him."
"It's ok Lyd, at least you know where he ended up and you're not looking for a ghost," Shalimar said with a smile.
"Ya," Lydia hung her head. "Brennan can you drop me off at my pick up point."
"Sure thing, where is it?" Brennan asked.
"It's at Chamberlain Park," Lydia replied.
The rest of the short ride was silent, Lydia knew what she had to do but wasn't sure if she could. Brennan pulled off and parked the car across the park. "Thanks Brennan," Lydia said with a smile.
"No prob. It was nice meeting you," Brennan told her before Lydia got out of the car.
Shalimar turned to Brennan, "I'll be right back."
"Ok," Brennan replied.
Shalimar got out of the Audi and ran over to Lydia, "Lydia wait!" Lydia stopped and turned around to face her, "We'll keep in touch right?"
Lydia smiled, "As much as our jobs will allow us." Shalimar laughed. "Bring you back with me, or hunt you down again."
Shalimar sighed, "I'm not going with you."
"Well that's kind of obvious," Lydia said with a smiled as she looked over at Brennan. "Plus I couldn't bring myself to pull you two apart, so I'll just have to make up an excuse."
"Na, I'll have Adam make one up for me, so you can go back to being with Ben and the President," Shalimar suggested.
"Thanks!" Lydia giggled. "That's all I need, to follow the President everywhere he goes."
Shalimar crossed her arms; "I don't think you'll be having any problems, we know now that Ashlocke was behind the threat, so Mutant X can take care of it. That is if he's still alive."
Lydia nodded and noticed a black car pull up across the street, "Well there's my ride. I'll see ya around Shal," Lydia said as Shalimar pulled her into a hug.
"Cya Lyd," Shalimar said, and then watched Lydia stride off to the nearby car.
Shalimar ran back over to Brennan and climbed back into the car. "That girl's alright, by my book." Brennan stated.
"Ya, she's great," Shalimar said watching the car drive away. She then turned back to Brennan. "So what now?"
"Ahh…" Brennan fumbled through his pockets looking for something. "This, I was saving it until I found you," he handed over Shalimar's comring.
Shalimar smiled as she put it back on, "Thank you,"
She leaned in to kiss him, but Adam's voice rang out, "Brennan you found her?"
Brennan sighed as they were interrupted once again, "Why does that always happen?" He said to Shalimar who bit her lip playfully then laughed, as Brennan spoke to Adam trying to hold back his urge to kiss her, "Ya Adam we're on our way back."
"We'll be waiting," Adam's voice replied.
Brennan huffed and started the car, before driving off. Shalimar slid over closer to Brennan and placed her head against his chest. Brennan smiled happily as he wrapped his arm around her, "Lets go home," She said to him as she snuggled up closer.
"Ya lets," Brennan replied as he kissed the top of her head at the next stoplight.
