Adam gathered the remaining members of Mutant X together in the briefing
room, and let them in on just exactly what Brennan was doing. Brennan had
turned his com link off, but Adam knew where he was going. He ordered all 3
mutants to head back to the club alley, and go from there.
Meanwhile, Brennan had already arrived in the alley. He was searching around the back door were he had been attached a few nights prior. It was another cold autumn day, and there was barely any light, which made it hard to search for clues.
"Where are you Thorne" Brennan yelled. There was no response. Brennan scrambled the ground looking for any clues, but he was unsuccessful. He thought perhaps his ears had started to ring, and the noise gradually got louder and louder. He flipped the lid open to the giant green dumpster to find a ringing cell phone. He hit the send button on the phone and held it up to his ear without making a sound.
"Are you ready Brennan?" Thorne's voice said on the other side of the phone.
"Bring it! Where are you coward? Show your face you bastard" Brennan demanded.
Instantly he felt a stinging pain in his left thigh. He looked down to find a small gray dart sticking out of his leg. His spontaneously got a severe head rush, sending him directly to the ground. He vaguely remembered Thorne forcing one of his eyelids open.
"You are just about to experience pain like I did," he said, injecting Brennan's neck once again with a shot of some sort. He remembered a swift kick to the head, and than darkness once again. He awoke back at sanctuary.
"What is going on?" He said in a very powerless voice.
"We found you unconscious in the alley". Emma remarked. "Do you remember anything?" She added.
"Yeah, a dark to the leg, shot to the neck, and kick to the head" Brennan moaned. "Adam, my vision is blurry".
Adam responded, "You were not over your concussion Brennan. I am afraid you reversed any healing from the past few days. I believe you are going to have to stay in bed again". Adam fearfully shined a light into both of Brennan's eyes. By now his eyes were rolling up into his head. "What is going on Brennan, talk to me" Adam commanded. Brennan instantaneously started convulsing into a seizure. "Hold him down" Adam yelled at Shalimar , Jesse, and Emma while he tried to get a sedative ready. Jesse tried to grab Brennan's legs, but was kicked in the face and thrown back by Brennan's out-of-control leg movements. Emma tried to get into his mind but was unsuccessful. Shalimar grabbed his legs as tight as she could while Jesse stood back up and grabbed Brennan's left arm. Adam was successful in sticking the tranquilizer into his arm, and the convulsions gradually seized. A phone began to ring and Emma pulled a cell phone from Brennan's pants pocket.
"Answer it Emma" Shalimar shouted out. Emma held the phone up to her ear, "Hello".
"Where is Mr. Mulwray" Thorne's voice said.
"Um, he is unavailable at the moment" Emma said.
"By now he should have started his seizures, and it is not going to get any prettier than that. I was hoping I could hear him scream in pain." Thorne said in a wicked voice.
"Brennan is fine" Emma said with a hurt, terrified look on her face. "What did you do to him", she cried out.
"Nothing he did not have coming" Thorne said. "When Mr. Mulwray has the strength-no if Mr. Mulwray has the strength, have him re-dial me on this phone." Click.
Everyone looked at Brennan who had stopped thrashing around, but was holding his head again.
"Make the pain stop Adam," he whimpered out. Adam injected his arm with a sleep aid and stroked his head.
"Sleep now Brennan."
Brennan rested his head back and looked up at everyone with a very miserable face expression. "This really sucks" Brennan managed to get out with a slur.
"It is OK Bren", Shalimar said with a fake smile. "Adam will take care of you and you will be back to normal in no time. Do not forget, you still owe me a dance."
With that Brennan attempted to put his hand out for Shalimar to hold, but before she could grasp it Brennan passed out.
"I wish that was true" Adam said. "I do not know this time." [pic]
