All the members of Mutant X were strapped into Genomex chairs. Shalimar, than Jesse, than Adam, than Emma, than Brennan. Eckhart wanted Adam in the middle of this.

"Ah, at last, I have all the members of Mutant X exactly where I want them" Eckhart said praising himself.

"What do you want Eckhart, let the others go you have me!" Adam pleaded.

"How very self-righteous of you. Adam, Adam, when will you learn? The picture is quiet bigger than you" Eckhart said.

Eckhart nodded his head at two men in lab coats and they began injecting all the Mutant X members with a yellowish fluid.

"What the hell is this?" Brennan squirmed.

"Don't fight it Mr. Mulwray, there is no use. You see we are going to play a little game. My scientists are injecting you with truth serum. In about twenty minutes, I will be able to ask you any question and get an honest answer. You can't battle it. I will ease my way into the questions and before this is done I will know the location of sanctuary and the new mutant underground," Eckhart said sighing.

With that Eckhart walked out of the room.

(Twenty Minutes Later Eckhart was back and began to test his serum.)

"I will only ask these questions once, if you lie to me, the serum will cause severe pain and misery" said Eckhart.

None of them wanted to give up private information. However, none could handle the torture of the chemical. The truth serum Eckhart had injected had worked and he was ruthlessly questioning each team member one-by-one.

Eckhart had started with Shalimar Fox.

"How old are you?" Eckhart asked with a look of anticipation.

"I am 22!" Shalimar screamed out in pain.

"You are lying. Make the pain stop. Tell the truth".

Shalimar could not take the pain any longer. It hurt too badly to lie and something inside of her was forcing her to tell the complete truth.

"Okay! Make it stop! I am 34!" she cried out.

"I knew it!" Brennan yelled out from his chair. I just knew it!"

"Shut up Brennan, your just jealous" she cried out.

"Jealous? Of what? I am flat out disgusted." Brennan barked back.

"Quiet Mr. Mulwray, you'll get your turn to tell the truth soon enough!" Eckhart said.

"Who is the real Shalimar Fox?" Eckhart said looking into her eyes.

She could not hold the truth back any longer. The drug was making her say what she had felt for some time.

"I am the real Shalimar Fox, 100% women and don't forget it! I am the number one Mutant on Mutant X. This team ain't got shit on me" she blurted out.

"Really, do continue," Eckhart said interested.

"I am the one who kicks the most butts! I am the one who does all Adam's dirty work. Without me the whole Mutant X thing would never work."

"Do you like all of your team members?" Eckhart said having some fun.

"I try, but I am so much better than them. Emma is a real bitch. She told Brennan that I sleep around. That is so not true. I am more popular than her because I am cooler and hotter. Emma, if you could put your jealous pride down I would give you some serious fashion tips because frankly, you need them sista! What is up with that wardrobe Em?" Shalimar blurted out to Emma.

Emma glanced over at Shalimar but kept her silence.

"Really?" Eckhart said intrigued. Tell me more about Shalimar Fox and her deep secrets.

Shalimar could not fight the truth any longer.

"Well my deepest secret is..(Shal paused trying to hold back the words but the pain in her head was so intense. She blurted it out) I have been wanting to f*** Adam forever, since day one.

Every member of Mutant X glared at Shalimar in disbelief. Brennan looked like he was going to puke.

"My my Miss. Fox, I can't believe you are talking such trash. Didn't your mother raise you better?" Eckhart chuckled out.

"No, as a matter of fact my mother was a stripper and we lived in a trailer park till I joined Mutant X. I never wanted any of them to know this dirty little secret," Shalimar cried out.

"Well well, break out the popcorn Mutant X" Eckhart said in complete laughter. "This is the best invention my scientists have come up with yet". Eckhart was laughing so hard he had tears rolling down his checks.

"You have not mentioned Mr. Kilmartin or Mr. Mulwray yet. Any comments for them?" Eckhart asked in hysteria.

"Oh sure. Jesse, I would like to quote Jennifer Anniston from friends and say, "No, it doesn't happen with other guys, yes it does happen all the time, and yes, it is a big deal. It is an inside joke that only he would get. To you Bren, are you dumb or gay or both? It has been shoved in your face. Get a clue."

"Shal, you swore you would never tell anyone!" Jesse said with his eyebrows all scrunched up.

"Oh well get over it Mr. Minuteman!" Shalimar said in laughter.

It was obvious the drug had her high as a kite now.

"Ahh! You and Jesse?" Brennan said in anger.

Shalimar did not even comment she just rolled her eyes at him.

"Any other secrets Miss. Fox?" Eckhart said in pure amusement.

"Well, I am currently negotiating for Play Boy. They don't want to pay me enough and they won't put me on the cover. They say I am not "popular" enough. Ask the football team to my high school and college and they will verify I am popular enough. I promised them if they pay me enough and put me on the cover, that issue will be the most profitable EVER! Guaranteed!" Shalimar blurted out.

"Ahhhhh" she screamed in pain.

"Remember, you must choose pain or truth," Eckhart said covering his grin with the rubber latex glove over his hand.

"Okay, okay, I never went to college! In fact, I dropped out of high school! There I said it!"

"Very good Miss. Fox, very good. Hmm lets see, what else can I ask you. What are your hobbies?

"Besides sex? Shopping, shopping and more shopping. I don't know if this is considered a hobby, but I am totally obsessed with dying my hair. I can't stand the black roots that show through. I have to die my hair once a week or I just freak."

Eckhart was on the floor in laughter now.

"Ahh you mutants are too much. I need a glass of water. Don't go away people, I am not done with my questions!" Eckhart said laughing even louder and exited the room.

Eckhart laughed all the way down the hall to the drinking fountain. He was followed by one of his men.

"What would you like us to do with the new mutants Mr. Eckhart?" the man said.

Eckhart guzzled down some water and cleared his throat.

"Leave them be, I want to have a chat with Mr. Kilmartin next. After I am done having a little fun, I will find out the location of sanctuary and the new mutant underground. Than, we will kill them all!" Eckhart said.

He began whistling as he walked down the hall. He could not help laughing out loud again. "What is up with that Em?" he said mocking Shalimar and laughing harder and harder.
