"Adam, how could we possibly be chasing down mutants that got rough with your bitches when we have been dealing with Ashlocke and the Strand for the past season?" Jesse asked confused.

"Ashlocke. Hah. Haven't you noticed how fine his Strand members are?" Adam asked.

"No Adam, they are the bad guys," said Jesse.

"Jesse, you are gay. Who could not notice?" said Brennan.

"I even noticed that one," said Shalimar.

"You see, I am considered the pimp of the underworld, but Ashlocke has everything above ground. I will never be able to expand my business up here till we get rid of Ashlocke." Adam explained.

"And since he has all those hotties working for him you were hoping Mutant X would recruit some of them to the underground." added Brennan.

"Precisely Bren" said Adam. "My goals are a little larger though, I want all of them. Damn that Ashlocke. He gets all the classy ones and I get his skanky leftovers. That's one of the reasons I need your help. You guys can't abandon me now. I need you." Adam said all emotionally.

"Adam, you know I need you. I will do whatever it takes in my power to take down that evil Ashlocke and help you claim what is rightfully yours" pronounced Emma.

"I knew you would be on my side Em," said Adam trying to let a smile out. "Shalimar?"

"Hmm, pick living at sanctuary and having a healthy allowance or going back to Mom and the trailer and her bottle of booze and having whatever man she brought home from the bar sneak into my room... hmm. Easy choice. I am with you Adam" Shal said with no hesitation.

"Thanks. Brennan? Adam asked.

"I don't know Adam. If I am helping you get all those fine bitches from Ashlocke I want something more than just a warm pillow to lay my head at night" said Brennan.

"All the freebies you want" Adam threw in temptation.

"All the freebies I want? SEALED DEAL" said Brennan satisfied.

"Jesse?" Adam asked.

"I have no where else to go Adam. I will stay under one condition only - if you stop calling me gay" said Jesse.

"You first have to stop acting gay Jesse. I do promise this, a few nights with my bitches and it just may cure your unnatural behavior." Adam said.

"Fair enough. Deal" said Jesse.

"You are all forgetting one thing, I am in control here, and no one is going anywhere," said Eckhart.

"I promise you one thing Eckhart, before this interrogation is over I will be out of this chair and you will be the one injected with truth serum and we will get our laughs from your vulnerabilities" said Brennan without experiencing any pain.

"Hah" Eckhart chuckled. "You are so confident in yourself you did not even feel any pain. Impressive Mr. Mulwray. Very impressive".

"Miss deLauro, what can you tell me about Mr. Mulwray here. Enlighten me again. Besides the fact that he is extremely cocky and so full of self assurance" said Eckhart.

"Well, Mr. Eckhart, I know why he always puts up the front that he is so macho." said Emma.
