Dedication: I've decided to dedicate "Letters from London," to Quest who has been an awesome friend!
Recap: "Letters from London," is the sequel to "The Price We Pay," so read it first if you haven't already. So far we know that Adam's sister Eve has Shalimar and Brennan's daughter in London and she is still being affected by Adam's DNA acceleration. Shalimar and Brennan have been growing closer and closer, and so have Emma and Jesse. Jesse and Emma know that Sierra is alive and confront Adam, but don't tell Shalimar and Brennan after Adam tells them why he did it. Meanwhile in London a lonely Sierra Fox is visited by Madison Caden (who is making an appearence...she is from "Goddaughter," and "Madison Caden.) Madison tells a clueless Sierra about her parents and gives her a locket and then they find out that Evelyn Carter, Johnathan, Madison Caden, and Sierra Fox are taking Sierra back soon to be reunited with her parents. And now on with the next chapter...

Chapter 7 - "The Kiss"
Two Months Later...
SANCTUARY
The team was still mostly confined to Sanctuary. Emma and Jesse went out to lunch and shopping occasionally. While Shalimar, Brennan, and Adam stayed in Sanctuary. The last two months had been quiet. Adam had been locking himself away in his lab again. Shalimar and Brennan had been growing more and more closely. Jesse and Emma seemed to be getting closer, as well, since they had found out about Sierra they had been avoiding the others and just spent time alone or together.
Emma walked through the dojo area, but was startled when Shalimar jumped in front of her from no where. Emma closed her eyes, held her heart, and tried to breathe normally. She opened her eyes again, "Shal', you scared me!"
"Sorry Emma. I just haven't talked to you, or Jesse, or Adam for awhile."
"I know, well I have to go," Emma told her, but Shalimar swung her back around.
"What's wrong Emma?"
"Nothing's wrong," Emma lied and she knew Shalimar would be able to tell that she was lying.
"Emma," Shalimar said now obviously a little upset. "Aren't we still friends?"
"Yes, and I'm sorry we haven't been hanging out lately. Why don't you and Brennan join me and Jesse AND then we can try to PRY Adam away from the lab. We can all have lunch and watch a movie," Emma suggested.
Shalimar immediately perked up, "okay!" She ran up the stairs to find Brennan. Emma smiled to herself and then headed to meet up with Jesse.
__________________________________________________________________________
"Jesse!" Emma shouted as she entered his room without knocking.
"What?!" he exclaimed trying to get fully dressed. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, but hurry we're ALL going to have lunch and watch a movie, but...we still have to pull Adam away from his facinating lab work."
"You want a miracle then?" Jesse asked smiling.
"Very funny, Jess," Emma told him pushing him backwards. Jesse caught Emma's arm pulling her with him as he landed on his back on his bed and Emma landed on top of him. Their faces but a mere inches apart...Jesse moved closer and kissed Emma softly. Jesse waited, but Emma said nor did anything. A few minutes passed and Emma kissed Jesse back. After a few minutes of kissing, Emma sat up, "umm...we need to go meet the others for lunch, remember?"
"Now?" Jesse whined and kissed her again.
"Yes, now, Jess," she told him and kissed him again. Emma stood up, took his hand, and led him to where Shalimar and Brennan where.
Shalimar and Brennan were sitting on the couch and Shalimar instantly noticed there was a kind of glow to Emma. "Hey, Emma! Can I talk to you for a sec?" Shalimar asked and then she and Emma stepped out.
"What?"
"What's with you?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You have this glow," Shalimar told her.
"What glow?" Emma asked.
"A happy glow," Shalimar answered and Emma blushed. "What?"
"I can't tell."
"Please? Come on, Emma! Who am I going to tell?"
"Brennan. Adam."
"So, it has something to do with Jesse, huh?"
Emma smiled and lied, "no!"
"Yes! Please tell me! I promise I will not tell!"
"Fine!" Emma gave in. "Jesse and I kissed"
"Kissed? So, is it serious?" Shalimar asked interested.
"Maybe?"
"So, you two kissed...aww...it's so cute!" Shalimar told her very happy.
"And not just once..." Emma added.
"Ohh, so it COULD get serious? Well, what can we expect with all of us locked up together," Shalimar said.
"So, what about you and Brennan?"
"We're good. Actually a lot better lately..."
"Why lately?" Emma asked.
"It's been over a year already since Sierra died and I think I'm finally starting to accept it."
"So? What? Have you been more open with Brennan?"
"Maybe. But I KNOW that I haven't been as depressed as I was."
"Well, I'm happy for you," Emma said hugging Shalimar.
"I'm happy for you, too," she told Emma.
"What are you two doing?" came the voice of Brennan who was watching them. They turned to see him in the doorway and then Jesse joined him.
"Nothing," Emma told them.
"Just girl stuff," Shalimar said. "So, are we going to go rescue Adam from himself?"
"Is he even still alive?" Jesse joked.
"Maybe he's been eaten by his lab," Brennan chimed in.
"Well, we'll never know unless we go INTO the lab and LOOK for him," Emma told them.
"So, let's go!" Shalimar said and started off to the lab with the others following.
When they arrived at the lab, it was sealed. They couldn't SEE Adam, but KNEW he was in the lab. Shalimar knocked on the door and Adam emerged from the other room and let them in. "Yes?" he asked.
"Why MUST you ALWAYS seal off the lab," Shalimar asked.
"Shalimar, I don't ALWAYS seal off the lab," Adam told her.
"Just MOST of the time," Brennan said.
"Anyways?" Adam asked to change the subject.
"You're being secretive, Adam..." Shalimar pointed out.
"Secretive, Shalimar?"
"Come on, Adam. Why keep any more secrets from us?"
"To protect ALL of you until it is either safe or necessary to tell and explain."
"O...okay," Brennan said. "Anyways, we are rescuing you."
"Rescuing me?" Adam asked confused. "From what?"
"Yourself," Jesse told him.
"The lab," Brennan said.
Adam smiled. "Come on, we want to ALL have lunch together and watch a movie," Emma told him.
"Please?" Shalimar asked.
"Okay," Adam told them and they headed to watch a movie and to have lunch.
