Emma woke up early the next morning. As she sat up and stretched she softly groaned. She walked stiffly over to her dresser and opened the middle drawer and pulled out a black top. She put it on her bed. She opened the top drawer and began to search for a pair of black pants to go with the top she had already laid out on her bed. She quickly found a pair of black leather pants. She hastily got changed. When she was ready she opened her door to go down and get a coat. After she had picked a black coat out of the closet, she remembered that she hadn't done her hair yet and quietly walked back towards the washroom to do so.
When she was making her way back down the stairs she noticed Shalimar walking around. She walked into the room.
"Hey Emma, going somewhere?" asked Shalimar.
"Ya I was thinking about taking a walk to clear my head."
"Hey can I come?"
"I think I need some time alone."
"Emma you were in your room for the whole day yesterday don't you think that is time enough?"
Emma shook her head, "no I still want some more time alone."
"Can I at least drive you in to town? I'm bored."
"Sure that would be awesome. That's a lot better then what I had in mind." Said Emma. "And I'm not kidding this will make it even easier."
"Ok can you wait just a sec? I'll be right back," said Shalimar.
Emma now noted that Shalimar was still in her P.J's. "Ok, I'll be waiting in the hanger." Said Emma walking away.
In the Jeep Emma and Shalimar had agreed that Shalimar would pick Emma up at around eleven o'clock. Shalimar added that if Emma wanted to get picked up sooner, not to hesitate to contact her on her on the comlink.
"I won't," said Emma in an in-tolerant voice, "right here is good."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, quite sure indeed," answered Emma.
Shalimar stopped the jeep. Emma opened the door and stepped out. "I'll be back at eleven. Be careful," warned Shalimar.
"Yes mom." Said Emma sarcastically as she shut the door and walked away, not seeing Shalimar smile, not even the smallest chuckle at her comment. Emma waited for Shalimar to drive away before she walked off towards a dark ally. Emma walked deep into the ally until she was satisfied with the location. She took the small knife out from the inside of her jacket.
When she was happy with the look of the ally she put the finishing touches to make sure the others found the ally. She winced as she pricked her middle finger with the already bloody knife. She let the blood drip onto her ring. Then she took it off and placed it on the ground. "All I need to do now is get Eckhart. And I still have three hours," said Emma to herself as she walked out of the ally and in the direction of Genomex.
When she got nearer she saw that Eckhart had two guards posted. "This is too easy." Emma used her telepathic abilities and made herself look like another security guard and slipped past them with ease. When she was in she went straight to Eckhart's office. Before she opened the door she made herself look like one of the guards that was out side. She opened the door. "Mr. Eckhart, sir."
Eckhart turned around in his chair. "What."
"I think there is an intruder in the building."
"Why didn't you notify the security you id..." Eckhart left his mouth open. Emma had revealed her self.
"Because I want to talk," said Emma sitting down on a near by chair.
"How did you get in here?"
Emma paused pretending to be deep in thought. "How do you think?"
"What do you want?" Asked Eckhart his hand over the security button.
"I want to offer you something."
"Offer me what? I know what you did last time Mrs. deLauro."
"And I would like to apologize for that. But that's not all I came here for. I set up a scene that looks like I have been kidnapped. But I have left no clue from the kidnapper. All you have to do is email Adam, tell him it was you, and tell him to meet you somewhere to get me back. You probably can guess the rest of my idea."
"You're offering me Mutant X. What's your price?" Eckhart was taking all the necessary precautions as he had fallen into Emma's traps before.
Emma smiled. "I want my only superior to be you."
"You think I would fall for that again."
"Well if you're going to. I suggest you hurry up because at eleven o'clock Shalimar is going to find the scene and notify the others."
"You are tempting me greatly but how in the world in the world do I know I can trust you?"
"Easy you have to. To get Mutant X out of your way."
Eckhart thought for a moment. "You have to agree to a sub-dermal governor till I think I can trust you. And you will not interfere with the brining down of Mutant X."
"Oh and you better handcuff and gag me to make it look real," smiled Emma.
Eckhart smiled a little then called his lab. "Get a governor ready. I'll be down with the famous Mrs. deLauro in a moment." Eckhart walked towards the door. "Right this way Mrs. deLauro." Emma followed Eckhart out the door and into the hall. Emma got a few looks from the people surrounding her. After a while of walking Eckhart finally stopped and opened a door. "After you." Eckhart motioned inside the door. Emma did as he asked. She heard a click off to her left when she walked into the room. She looked over and found that she was staring into the barrel of a gun. Eckhart came in closing the door behind him. He cleared his throat. "You can put the gun down."
"Mr. Eckhart. I didn't know you were with her," said the man lowering the gun.
"Where is the person that I told I would be coming?"
"I guess you mean the man that just left. His shift was over sir."
"Just get a governor ready."
"Yes sir." The man ran into the back of the lab. Returning with what Eckhart wanted.
"Take a seat Mrs. deLauro," said Eckhart pointing to a near by chair. When Emma had sat down Eckhart took the governor and the attaching mechanism (that looked much like a gun) from the man. "I don't know how much pain this will inflict on you," warned Eckhart as he put the governor on the back of her neck with a click. Emma cringed as a sharp pain was sent through her body. "Now what time is it?" asked Eckhart.
"Five to eleven." Answered Emma glancing at her watch.
"Just enough time for you to help me write an e-main to Adam," said Eckhart, "come we'll go back to my office."
"Sir shall I notify the rest of the staff not to shoot at Mrs. deLauro?" Asked the man.
"Yes, you do that," said Eckhart leaving the lab with Emma right behind him. ********************* 11:05
"Adam, you there," said Shalimar into her comlink.
"I'm here, what?" Asked Adam.
"Can you get a fix on Emma's ring. I'm worried about her."
"Sure thing." Shalimar heard the sound of keys being hit.
"She should be only a few feet north from where you are. But she's not moving."
"I'm going to check it out, " said Shalimar locking the jeep. She walked north for a wile before Adam told her to turn to her right. "Adam are you sure? That leads into an ally?"
"I'm sure." came Adam's voice, calm as ever.
Shalimar walked into the ally, "I don't see anyone."
"She's still about fifty feet away from you keep walking."
Shalimar walked a little further. "I still don't see her."
"You sure your only about five feet away from her now."
Shalimar took a few more steps. Then decided to go feral. She saw blood all around. She saw something glint on the ground and picked it up. "Adam I found Emma's ring."
"Shalimar that's not possible. The rings don't work unless."
"It's covered in her blood. I think you should get the others. It looks like Emma has been attacked. Actually." Shalimar looked around. "It looks like she's been kidnapped."
Adam swore under his breath. Before calling the others.
"Shalimar is there any sign of who it could have been?" Asked Adam, after Brennan and Jesse had come running into the lab.
"No there's no sign of anyone at all. The only DNA I can find is all Emma's and it's all blood. Adam I don't like this."
"None of us do. Just a sec I just got an e-mail from an anonymous sender." There was a short pause then Adam spoke again. "I think I know who the kidnapper is."
"Well tell me so I can go kick their butt and get Emma back!"
"Shalimar It won't be that easy. Emma is being held by Eckhart and he wants us to meet him near Genomex."
"When?"
"Tonight at twelve o'clock."
"Ten bucks say it's a trap."
"Shalimar I'm afraid we don't have much of a choice. Come back to Sanctuary so we can try to think up a plan to get Emma back in one piece. Don't forget her ring."
"I'm a coming." Said Shalimar walking out of the ally and towards the Jeep.
**************************************************************
"You sure they'll come?" Asked Eckhart.
"Oh they'll come to rescue me. Don't worry," answered Emma.
"So Mrs. deLauro you never told me why you have decided to hand your friends over to me."
"There not my friends. And the reason is that the others couldn't accept my full power so I've always had to hide it. I'm getting sick of it. They think I'm helpless and that my powers are weak. They underestimate me. That's why they'll come." Emma crossed her arms as she said this.
"So you came to me for revenge?"
"Not revenge. I came to you because I know you will welcome my power. And if destroying Mutant X is a way to get you to trust me. Too bad for them." "Well if this plan of yours works. You will take orders from me and me only." They both smiled at each other (for probably the very first time ever.)
