Chapter 5
A heart breaks while a plan is continued


Adam was alone in the kitchen, as everyone had already eaten their lunch. he had a bowl of turkey and rice soup with a slice of Shalimar's wonderful buchetta. Adam could hear the computer beeping from the Lab with the results of the latest blood tests,and he quickly gathered up his plate and bowl and took it too the lab with him. Adam looked at the screen as he entered the lab, he noticed something on the keyboard. As he moved closer, he realized what it was and his heart stopped. His breathe caught in his throat has he picked up the paper from the keyboard. Oh no! he whispered to himself. *She had found it....no Emma wasn't the type to go snooping in other people's things....was she?* It really didn't matter, what mattered was that someone found his poem for Emma... that they knew how he felt for her. His mind raced. *no i didn't put her name on it.. so no one knows it's for Emma.* Adam looked closer at his poem. *Are those musical notes?* He scanned over the poem. Someone had put his poem to music. Adam was curious, he scanned the music and words into the computer. His mind wandered as the computer downloaded the music into a mp3 file. He was thinking of her again, about how he loved the way her hair fell in front of her face when she meditated. He longed to feel it's silky soft texture between his fingers, to place it behind her ear so that it revealed the structure of her cheek bones and soft creme colored skin. Suddenly Adam's body reacted. he cursed under his breath. He shouldn't be reacting this way, it was inappropriate. Adam took a deep breath to calm himself and tried to control his body.
After ten minutes he succeeded and was back to normal again, relieved that none of the others had walked in. He turned to the computer just as it was finished downloading. After picking the piano accompaniment, he played the new finished mp3 file. The notes softly flowed from the computer's speakers. It was just like how he imagined it would be, soft but passionate, just like Emma.

Jesse heard the music coming from the lab and smiled. Looking through the Lab's window and saw Adam sitting in his lab chair with his eyes closed listening to the music. just then shalimar came up behind him and touched him on the shoulder.
she said softly, not wishing to startle him or let Adam know they where there.
The plan is working, Adam found the song Jesse said quietly. Shalimar smiled and just walked away. Jesse grinned as he watched the golden beauty walk off.

After the song was over, Adam smiled. He wished he could share this with Emma, to be able to dance with her to this music, to the poem he wrote for her. He sighed unhappily. * I can't ever show her this* He thought to himself, as he looked around the room, he saw Jesse hiding in the shadows next to the window.
Jesse... Can i help you? he said, his voice in the quiet, reserved way it always is.
Jesse popped out from behind the doorway and smiled. sorry Adam, you looked like you were enjoying yourself, and i didn't want to disturb you. Jesse smiled.
Adam gave a half hearted grin. yes.. i was Jesse's face turned concerned.
Everything ok Adam? he asked softly. Adam looked at Jesse. *So young... but so full of compassion, something everyone should have.* He thought as he smiled again.
Yes Jesse, everything is fine. He looked back at the screen. Jesse... Do you know where this came from? He asked the young molecular. Jesse walked toward the screen and studied it for a moment. No Adam... I don't Jesse said, keeping the plan a secret.
Oh ok, well if you hear anything, let me know ok? Adam said as he turned back to the screen.
Ok Adam... Jesse smiled and headed out the door.

Jesse went looking for Brennan and Shalimar when he bumped into Emma in the hallway.
Oh! Hey Em! He said cheerfully. How was your nap? Jesse smiled.
Emma rubbed her eyes and smiled. It was nice! thanks for asking!' she said, her voice still thick with sleep. Jesse... my song is missing from my room, do you know where it is? Jesse looked right into her eyes, he hated lying straight to her face, but it was part of the plan he made with Shal and Brennan.
No... I don't know anything about a song Emma... sorry! He said grinning. Emma could sense something was up again, but she knew that she couldn't read Jesse, it would be a violation of his trust for her. So she just smiled and walked off. * if Jesse doesn't know anything about my song, that leaves just Adam.* She froze. * Did Adam write the poem?* she thought to herself. *But who is it for...?* her mind pictured Shalimar. * They are close...* Her heart sank at the thought of HER Adam with Shalimar. *Oh God!* A tear rolled down her face as she sensed the overwhelming emotion of love coming from Adam's mind. * Oh God... It's true! he loves her* Her heart couldn't take the pain of losing him, even if she never really had him. Tears where streaming down her face as she walked back to her room and shut the door behind her. Emma threw herself on her bed and sobbed. * Oh My Adam, how could you love her! When I love you!* Her mind screamed in pain. She cried until she fell into a fitful sleep.


Jesse found Shalimar and Brennan sitting on the couch in the sitting room, they where sitting a little too close for his liking he thought as he sat down next to them.
Shalimar and Brennan blushed a tiny bit.
What's up Jesse? Brennan said, trying to avoid he gaze. Jesse ignored what he just said and smiled. Well I think it's time for the next step in our little plan... He said with a note of evilness in his voice.
