Author's Note: HOPEFULLY this will be done by Friday night since the new MX
episode comes on here on Saturday at 2pm Pacific and I wanted it up before
it comes on.
Chapter 2 - Feralness
Later that day. Adam's Office - Sanctuary
Adam was sitting in his office asleep. He had fallen asleep with his head in his hands. Suddenly his computer came alive with an impatient steady beeping. Adam looked up at his computer to see that it read that he had mail. Adam opened his e-mail to see that it was from Doctor Charles Obsidien. It said:
Adam- I've gone over your ideas and tested the ones I had and I think I've come up with one that would work.the only hitch is that it would have to be over a month's period of time and that I would most likely have to do it.I've attached the simulation and the calculations. Contact me with your decision. Charles Obsidien
Adam frowned slightly at the e-mail and then downloaded the attachments and looked them over. The simulation and the calculations seemed to work very well, but the whole idea that Shalimar would be gone for a month with Charles bugged him. He felt like there was something off. But it was his only choice. He wouldn't let Shalimar die.he loved her too much. Adam clicked on the reply button on the e-mail and began to type:
Charles- I really wish that she didn't have to be gone for a month.but it has to be done. Please contact me with all information involving the procedure so that I can talk to Shalimar about it. Adam Kane
Adam sent the e-mail and then decided that he needed a snack and a nap too.
The Next Day. Dojo - Sanctuary
Brennan and Shalimar had decided to workout together. Which wasn't exactly what they were doing.they were really going to fight. After a few minutes Brennan was out of breath and wasn't thinking right. Shalimar's eyes glowed gold and she kept at it. "Shal', I give up," Brennan said tiredly as he fell to the floor, but Shalimar kept coming. She didn't stop, which worried Brennan. "Shalimar!" Brennan shouted trying to stop him from injuring him any further. "Shalimar!"
Adam came running in with Jesse close behind him, "Shalimar!" Adam pulled her away from Brennan, but she just threw Adam to the floor. Jesse was right behind and massed out as Shalimar tried to throw him to the floor. She waited for him to take a breath and then knocked him off of the dojo platform. Seconds later, Shalimar collapsed to the dojo floor. Adam was unconscious.
Brennan looked over at Shalimar, and wondered what could be wrong with her. He got up and made his way to Adam who was still alive just unconscious. When Brennan went to go check on Jesse he was walking up the stairs. "You okay, Jess?"
"Ya know it really hurts to get knocked off of the dojo by a feral," Jesse told Brennan matter-of-factly.
"Yeah well at least you weren't phased through the stairs," Brennan said sitting down next to Adam.
"Hey! That was an accident!"
Brennan smiled, "yeah I know.I wonder what's wrong with her," Brennan wondered aloud directing his gaze to Shalimar.
"What did you say to her?"
"NOTHING! She just attacked and wouldn't stop!"
Med Lab - Sanctuary
Adam woke in med lab and saw Emma, Jesse, and Brennan right outside sitting on the steps. Adam sat up and held his head with one of his hands. His head felt like it had been slammed into a concrete wall. Adam got up and exited med lab. When the doors to med lab swooshed open the trio turned. "How'ya feeling Adam?" Brennan asked.
"My head hurts, it feels like someone slammed it into a wall."
"Almost. Shalimar went all feral on us and about killed all three of us."
"Where IS Shalimar?" Adam asked noticing he didn't see her.
"Ummm well," Jesse started. "We sort of left her in the dojo with the force field up."
"We figured it'd be the safest place for all of us," Emma explained.
"You're probably right," Adam told her.
Dojo Area - Sanctuary
Adam and the others looked in on Shalimar from the other side of the force field. "What's wrong with her Adam?" Emma asked sensing something. Like he was keeping something from them.
"I don't know Emma, I'll have to run some tests," Adam responded.
"Adam?" Emma questioned.
"I HAVE TO RUN TESTS!" Adam repeated upset and walked off to his lab.
"Oooookay." Jesse said as they watched Adam walk away.
"Emma.what's going on?" Brennan asked looking over at Emma.
"I think Adam knows what's going on with Shalimar," Emma answered.
"Adam wouldn't let anything like this happen to Shalimar," Jesse argued.
"Maybe not, but he IS keeping something from us."
"I'll go find out." Brennan said.
"Are you sure that's a good idea.maybe I should go?" Jesse asked.
"No, I'll go."
"Okay."
Adam's Office - Sanctuary
Adam was sitting in his office looking through papers on his desk. He had found what he was looking for and started looking over the paper when Brennan walked in. "What's going on Adam?" Brennan asked.
"What?" Adam responded setting his papers down.
"What secret are you keeping from us?"
"Brennan."
"Adam, Emma knows.why can't you just tell us?"
"Because I can't, not now anyways."
"Adam, if it involves Shalimar then it involves all of us."
"Brennan, Shalimar will be fine!"
"How do you know that? What's wrong with Shalimar?" Brennan demanded.
"Brennan, I told you I don't know yet," Adam told him annoyed. Adam stood up to rearrange the papers on his desk, trying not to look at Brennan.
"AND I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!" Brennan yelled not happy with Adam keeping a secret from him and the fact that he was being ignored.
Adam looked up at Brennan, "BRENNAN WILL YOU PLEASE LEAVE!"
"I CAN'T DO THAT!" Brennan said and charged at Adam and pinned him up against the wall. "NOW you are going to tell me EVERYTHING you know.EVERYTHING you aren't telling us.EVERYTHING about Shalimar's condition!"
Adam wasn't happy, he also wasn't able to breathe very well being pinned against the wall by Brennan. "BRENNAN!" Adam exclaimed trying to breathe.
"TELL ME!"
"OKAY, OKAY JUST LET ME DOWN!"
Brennan took a breath and let Adam down. "TELL ME."
"Shalimar's DNA is breaking down," Adam said calmly.
"WHAT?! Oh my god! Why didn't you say anything?! Does she know?!" Brennan asked very worried.
"No she doesn't know.but there might be a way to stop it.a treatment.but she would have to be gone for a month." Adam told Brennan as he watched Brennan sit down.
"How? What do we have to do?" Brennan asked looking up at Adam.
"Shalimar would have to go with my friend who works with the department of defense," Adam explained.
"You can't do it here?! And why would it take a month?"
"I'm afraid that I don't have the resources or equipment to do it here and the reason it would take a month is so that she won't be seriously hurt from the process."
"When can we do it?"
"Soon, but I'm not so sure we should.I mean I haven't even told Shalimar yet."
"Have you seen her?! She's not even our Shalimar! She's feral! She could have killed us all!"
"But she didn't."
"No, no she didn't."
