"Ah quarter to twelve." Eckhart hit the call button on his desk. Emma watched him as he spoke. "Mr. Skline round up twenty of your best men and woman and have them wait out side the main door with you. I will be there in a moment."
"Yes sir, " came a male voice.
"Oh Mr. Eckhart you might want to take this off my hands," said Emma handing the bloody knife to him, "I used it to make the set up."
"Yes, I do think I should hold on to this for awhile." Eckhart put the knife in one of his desk drawers. "Now off we go. I just have to make one stop before we go outside to meet the others. To get a pair of had cuffs and a gag." Emma followed Eckhart.
When they got out side Eckhart briefed the men on the mission and appointed a guard for Emma. Telling him not to let her get hurt or else. They took the vehicles to the spot where they were to meet Adam and the others. At exactly twelve o'clock they watched the Double Helix land. Eckhart handcuffed and gagged Emma then waited for Adam and his followers to come out of the Double Helix. When they were all out Eckhart got out of the vehicle, Emma being pushed out gently by her guard. The other vehicles emptied as well.
Adam walked toward Eckhart. Emma began to scream trying to tell Adam not to do what he was about to do. "What do you want for her Eckhart? All we want is Emma back," said Adam. Emma screamed even louder and got shoved by her guard. Jesse felt an emotion - that he couldn't place at first - go through his body when the guard had shoved Emma. Emma had got the idea and was quite.
"Oh I don't want to bargain with you," said Eckhart an evil smirk forming on his face.
"Emma use you telempathy on them and run," yelled Shalimar her eyes turn yellow and her pupils narrowed.
Eckhart smiled. "She won't be doing anything of the sort." He signalled to the guard to turn her around. Eckhart pulled her hair back to show the governor. Emma let her head hang as she was turned back around. "I want them alive." Shouted Eckhart to his men. They attacked. At first it looked like Eckhart was wining. But as the combat deepened the tables turned. Emma did as she was told and stayed out of the fight. At one time Shalimar ran right past her kicking an agent in the face as she did so. Eckhart finally decided to retreat he called to the remaining men to fall back. Emma heard Adam telling the others to let them go.
When they got back to Genomex. Eckhart found out that there were only nine men left out of the twenty he had brought. "Well Mrs. deLauro your plan didn't succeed so..."
Emma cut Eckhart off, "actually my plan worked perfectly. I got Adam and the others to fall for the trap. It was your men that couldn't carry out your orders. And I did as you asked, I didn't interfere with the fight at all."
"I hate to say it but you have a point, " said Eckhart not liking the fact that he had been proven wrong at all. "I'll keep my end of the deal. But you'll have to wait a wile to get the governor removed. And you should know I am very close to being able to trust you. I'll show you to where you can sleep for the rest of the night." Eckhart led her to a small room with a bed, desk, and dresser. "I'll get you a more suitable room tomorrow but this will have to do for now." Eckhart closed the door.
********************************************************
In the Helix.
"Great what is Eckhart going to do to her now?" Said Brennan.
"We can't tell until he dose it I'm afraid." Said Adam.
"Didn't you here her before that guy shoved her. She was trying to tell us something." Said Shalimar.
"Probably that it was a trap. Or that she wasn't worth it. You know the 'don't save me save your-selves kind of a thing'," said Brennan not even glancing towards the others.
Shalimar looked a Jesse who had said nothing the whole time. "Hey what's bugging you?"
"Oh nothing. Just thinking." Answered Jesse. "Why did I."
"You sure there's nothing bothering you?" Asked Brennan. "You look like you think Emma's dead already."
"Brennan!" Yelled Shalimar. "Don't say anything like that again. If you value your..."
Adam jumped in before Shalimar could finish her sentence. "Settle down Shalimar. I'm sure he won't say any thing like that again." Adam appeared to have glared at Brennan for a moment.
**********************************************************
Emma woke up to a knock on her door. "Mrs. deLaudo if your not dressed already I suggest you do so now. And meet me in my office."
"Yes, sir," answered Emma. She decided to leave her coat in the room. As she made her way to Eckhart's office she got a few nasty looks. But not as many as her first day there.
She opened the door and was greeted by Eckhart. There was another man in the room with him. "This is Mr. Skline. He is third in charge." Eckhart motioned to the man.
"Um, sir. I'm second aren't I?" Asked Mr. Skline, confused by Eckhart's statement.
"Not any more Mr. Skline. You will be taking orders from Mrs. deLauro from now on."
"Sir she's new. And wasn't she also a part of Mutant X? She can't be trusted."
"Mr. Skline she was the one that set the trap for Mutant X. Your troops screwed it up."
"Sorry sir, I didn't know." Apologized Mr. Skline.
"I want you to stay with Mrs. deLauro and make sure all her needs are catered to. But first I want you to show her to the lab so her governor can be removed."
"Yes sir. Right this way Mrs." Mr. Skline paused trying to remember her name.
"DeLauro." Said Emma.
"Thank you," replied Mr. Skline showing her out of Eckhart's office. When they were on their way to the lab Mr. Skline asked Emma a question. "So, why the sudden change in of mind?"
"Mr. Eckhart knows. And you don't have to," answered Emma. They came to the lab. Mr. Skline courteously opened the door and let Emma in he came in after.
"Eckhart has given orders to have Mrs. deLauro's sub-dermal governor removed. Be sure to make it as quick and pain less as possible."
"Yes, sir," said the man running into the back of the lab. He came back with a few tools. "Have a seat," said the man. Emma sat down. The man kept her hair out of his way with one hand while he worked at the governor with the other. Emma cringed when the governor shocked her before it dropped to the ground. "Sorry about that shock."
"Don't worry about it," said Emma rubbing her neck glad to have it off.
"May I ask why Eckhart had your governor removed?" Asked the man.
"She is an new recruit of Eckhart's. She was formally a member of mutant X. And is now second only to Eckhart himself." Droned Mr. Skline.
"I look forward to your orders Mrs. deLauro." The man put out his hand. But Emma didn't shake it.
"Shall we go Mr. Skline?" asked Emma.
"Of course Mrs. deLauro. Would you like me to show you around Genomex?"
"Yes. That sounds like a good idea." Said Emma.
"Right this way then."
While Mr. Skline showed Emma around she was stared at a lot. She just glared at them saying 'she'd get back to work if she were them' and kept on walking. Just when Mr. Skline had finished showing Emma around Eckhart called her to his office. Mr. Skline insisted on coming with her. When Emma walked in the door she saw Eckhart sitting at his desk.
"Mrs. deLauro I have finished your Genomex profile. Would you like to look it over? Oh, Mr. Skline you may leave, your duties are done for now."
"Yes sir," replied Mr. Skline as he exited the room.
Emma walked over to the computer and looked at the screen. She read her new profile. "Mr. Eckhart when can I change the number of completed missions?"
"Well do you have anything in mind Mrs. deLauro?"
"Yes in fact I do. Adam still thinks I'm your hostage so what do you think his thoughts would be if he found out that I raided a safe-house?"
"I like the way you think Mrs. deLauro. When would you like to put your thoughts into actions?"
"Tomorrow, I want them to suffer for one more day."
"I assume you have the security code?"
"Yes sir, I do."
"Good, tomorrow it is than. Did I mention black really suits you?"
"Why thank you. Speaking of clothes though. I don't really have any others than these."
"That could turn out to be a slight problem. Well you'll have to shop on the Internet because Adam will be keeping an eye out for you in town. I'll have a computer put in your room." He pressed down the intercom button. "I want a computer set up in Mrs. deLauro's room within the next ten minutes."
"Speaking of which I have to show you your new room." He stood up and walked towards the door. "Follow me Mrs. deLauro." He opened the door and walked out Emma followed him closing the door behind herself. When he stopped and opened the door to Emma's bedroom. Her eyes widened when she looked inside. The room was huge. It had a queen-sized bead, a fancy desk with a light on it, a large dresser, and it had a window that looked over the front of Genomex. Other than that it had nothing in it but Emma didn't mind. At that two men came in with a large box in hand.
"Sorry to interrupt you Mr. Eckhart," said one of the men apologetically. Eckhart cleared his throat gesturing towards Emma. "Oh, welcome Mrs. deLauro. Sorry for the interruption." It only took the men three minutes to set up the computer and they were out. Eckhart had had them keep the computer on.
"Here, I'll show you were you should go to get what you need. The people that run this site know me they'll have the things delivered by tomorrow morning," said Eckhart as he typed in an address. "When you're done feel free to look around the programs. You wont have access to some of the information but I'll have that fixed when you are away tomorrow." Eckhart walked out of the room. "I can't believe it. He trusted me faster then I thought he would. He must really want someone he knows will get things done. And also really want Adam and the others out of the way. After tomorrow if any of them run into me their going to try to get me back. So I'll have to be on my guard but for now lets see what I can find worth while on this site." Thought Emma as she sat down in front of her computer. *************************************************************
