"Letters from London"
Chapter 1
SANCTUARY-MEDICAL LAB
One Day Later...
Adam was alone in his lab, working on his computer when he noticed he's received e-mail. He opened the e-mail and it read:
Dear Adam-
I was wondering when I was going to actually receive a letter or an e-mail with this child's name. Anyways, I can't just keep calling her baby. Please respond soon.
your sister,
Eve
Adam looked around and noticed that no one was around, but just in case someone wanted something he decided to seal off the lab, so that no one would see the e-mail he was about to send. He deleted the e-mail his sister had just sent him and decided that he would write back immediately, so he wrote:
Dear Eve,
Sorry it's been so long, I just didn't want to rush Shalimar. I told Shalimar and Brennan that Brennan was the father, they took it well and they named her. Her name is Sierra Isabelle Fox. I'll be looking for those letters and packages. E-mail me when you mail them so that I can have someone pick them up. Keep me updated.
your brother,
Adam
Adam looked up when he heard a knock, it was Shalimar. He quickly sent the e-mail and then erased it before getting up and unsealing the lab. "Sorry, I didn't know that I sealed it. Must have bumped the button or something," Adam apoligized.
"That's okay, I was only there for a minute. So, whatcha working on?" she asked.
"Nothing really. I was just looking over everyone's latest test results."
"And?"
"And you're all perfect."
"Do you need any help?" Shalimar asked.
"Not really, why?" Adam asked curiously.
"Well, we've been isolated from the rest of the world and I thought maybe you would have something to keep me occupied."
"I'll tell you what, why don't we all go out?" Adam suggested.
"Really?"
"Yeah, but let's try something new."
"I'll go tell the others!" Shalimar told him smiling before she left.
"That's the first time she's smiled in a while..." Adam told himself.

SANCTUARY-ADAM'S ROOM
A Few Hours Later...
Adam was getting ready to change when a knock came at his door. "Come in," Adam said.
Jesse stepped in and closed the door behind him. "Do you think this is really a good idea, Adam?"
"Going out?"
"I mean Gabriel's still out there..."
"So, we'll be careful, Jess."
"Gabriel won't be too happy when he finds out that the baby died," Brennan said opening Adam's door and joining in on the guy meeting. "He'll blame Shalimar and probably try to do something to all of us."
"Guys, I understand, but we can't live in fear all of our lives. Plus, we all need this," Adam told them. "Just keep an eye on each other."
"So, where are we going?" Brennan asked.
"That's up to the four of you," Adam told them. "So, why don't you all go and discuss it while I change?"
"Okay," Jesse said as he and Brennan left.

"So, where are we going?" Adam asked.
"We get to pick?" Emma asked.
"Didn't the guys tell you?" Adam asked Emma and Shalimar.
"No," Shalimar answered.
"Guys, I said that the four of you were to decide."
"Come on, Adam. You said somewhere new and that's where we're going," Jesse said.
"It's a surprise," Brennan added.
"Uh huh," Adam said looking at them, studying them to see if they were lying. He knew why they hadn't told the girls, they were trying to protect them. "It's not a club, is it?"
"No," Brennan answered.
"Good. Okay, then let's get in the MV," Adam said. "Brennan and Jesse in front since you both have the secret destination." Brennan got in the passenger seat while Jesse got in the driver's seat. Adam sat in the middle in the back with Emma behind Jesse and Shalimar behind Brennan. Jesse started up the MV and headed out of the mountain towards the city.

The Next Day...
Adam had an e-mail again, he opened it and read what it said:
Adam-
Pick up package ASAP!
contains: blood and tissue samples, and Sierra's hourly stats since I got her.
Eve
Adam left the lab and headed for the garage when he was stopped by Emma who had a headache. "Adam, where are you going?" she asked obviously in pain.
"I was going to pick up a package, but let me look at you first," Adam told her.
"I'll pick it up Adam," Jesse volunteered. "Where and what?"
"Here," Adam handed Jesse the key to his PO Box and then wrote down the address and the box number. "There should be a package."
"Okay," Jesse said and left.
"Come on, Emma," Adam said leading her to the medical lab.
