A/N: thank you again to all who reviewed and I hope I didn't upset many with the last chapter. For those who I upset I'm sorry but I thought it would make it more interesting. Anyways here is …
Chapter 13
After they ate, Brennan and Shalimar excused themselves and walked out towards the garden. Adam went back to the lab; he told them he had work to do, but he really just wanted to sit and worry about Emma. Jesse and Emma were left alone in the kitchen.
"Does Gabriel know?"
"I haven't felt him inside my head lately, so I hope not. Jesse, how can I do this? I don't know how to take care of a kid. Let alone give birth to one."
"We'll help you, don't worry. Stress isn't good for the baby or for you. Do you want to go shopping?"
A big smile appeared across her face, and her eyes sparkled wildly. "Okay!"
One hour later
Jesse was beginning to regret that he asked her if she wanted to go shopping. His arms were so full of bags, that he could hardly see where he was going. "Emma, I think we should put this stuff in the car. Then you can buy more stuff."
"Fine," Emma said. When they reached the parking lot, Emma noticed five black cars. "Jesse, the GSA." People wearing black climbed out of the cars, towards them.
"Let's run!" Jesse dropped Emma's bags and grabbed her hand. They tried to run, but they were surrounded by about twenty agents. "Okay change of plans. We fight."
Jesse and Emma put their backs to each other and prepared to take on the agents. Jesse massed as one of the agents fired their weapon at him. Emma was easily taking out agents, one by one, by blasting them with her psi orbs. Jesse kicked one of the agents, who happened to knock over another agent. One of the agents fired a bullet at Emma; it hit her on the front part of her shoulder.
Emma screamed out in pain, making Jesse turn around to face her, "Emma!"
Seeing that he was distracted, another agent knocked him out with the barrel of their gun.
"Jesse!" Emma put her hand on the wound, trying to ease the pain; it didn't help. The pain began to take its toll on her, and she collapsed on the ground as she lost consciousness.
"Grab them, and let's take them back to Genomex. I want my promotion." The agent smiled as she watched the other agents load the two members of Mutant X into one of the cars.
Genomex
"Come in."
"Sorry Mr. Eckhart sir. I just wanted to inform you that I have apprehended two members of Mutant X. They are being held in cell 4B."
"Good I shall go see them now." Eckhart hurried out of the room, and took the elevator to the basement level. He entered the cell.
Jesse and Emma were chained to the walls, they were both awake now. Emma was trying not to think about the bullet in her shoulder. Pain was searing through her shoulder like someone kept jamming a knife into the wound. She knew the bullet had to be removed, or else she could get a bad infection.
Jesse was the first one to notice Eckhart; he looked up and said, "Please let Emma go. She was shot and the bullet needs to come out."
To Jesse and Emma's surprise, Eckhart said, "I'll remove it myself. Unchain her, but put a governor on her first."
Emma's eyes widened; she didn't know what kind of effect the electrical shocks would have on her baby. Knowing perfectly well she couldn't risk anything happening to the baby, she let them lead her over to a table that was ten feet away from where Jesse was.
"I'll remove the bullet Mr. Kilmartin, and you will watch. Chain her to the table." The guard did as Eckhart instructed. Emma was now securely fastened to the table. "Bring me the tray. Now Miss DeLauro, this will hurt a lot. Feel free to scream."
Eckhart began to remove the bullet, but he didn't give Emma any anesthesia first. He dug around her shoulder looking for the bullet.
Tears streamed down Emma's face, but she refused to scream. She knew that Eckhart wanted the satisfaction of torturing her. The pain became too much for her, and she blacked out.
"Get some water in here! Wake her up! I want her to feel the pain." Quickly the guard set to work reviving her.
Jesse could feel anger take him over. He could care less if Eckhart beat and tortured him. But instead Eckhart was hurting Emma, his sweet Emma. *She doesn't deserve this.*
Her eyes fluttered open, and she screamed. "Please stop. It hurts so much. Just leave the bullet in there. Please."
Eckhart smiled, *finally she wants me to leave her alone. The pain must be excruciating. Good.* "The bullet is already out, now I'm going to sew you up." He grabbed the tools he needed and started to stitch her up.
Again she cried out as the pain surged through her shoulder. She hoped he would be done soon, the pain was unbearable.
Jesse was glad Eckhart was almost done. *I don't see how she could take all that pain. She'd better be alright, otherwise Eckhart will pay when we're free.*
"All done. Chain her back on the wall." Again the guard did as he was told. Emma was dragged back over to the wall, and the guard fastened the chains to the wall.
"Now Mr. Kilmartin, tell me the location of Sanctuary," Eckhart demanded.
"Go to hell!" Jesse's eyes flashed with anger.
Eckhart pushed a button on a device, and it activated Jesse's governor. The electrical jolt of the governor lasted about five minutes. Eckhart released the button. Jesse gasped and his heart was beating rapidly.
"Fine. Miss DeLauro, tell me the location of Sanctuary."
Emma raised her chin bravely, knowing she was going to get it, "Drop dead."
"Wrong answer," Eckhart pushed another button. This activated Emma's governor.
Pain seared through Emma's whole body as the electrical force continued for seven minutes. Eckhart hated her almost as much as he hated Adam. She had double crossed him before, and now he was paying her back.
When he released the button he said, "I'll be back in a few hours. Next time you will tell me what I want to know." With that, Eckhart motioned for the guard to stand outside the door. Eckhart then walked into his office. He was so happy that he in a few hours he would know the location of Sanctuary. Eckhart began to plan different ways he could force the information out of them.
The cell
Jesse looked at Emma and said, "Are you okay?"
"I think so…" All of the sudden, pain ripped through her abdominal section and she screamed out, "Jesse! The baby, it's hurting me! What's going on? Why am I hurting, is something wrong with the baby?"
Jesse could do nothing but stare at her. *The electrical shocks must have hurt the baby. I hope they didn't kill the baby.* All he could do was hope that Adam and the others found out where they were and rescued them, before Eckhart returned.
