Note From Writer:
Thank you everyone for the advice, I am taking it, I hope it is easier for
everyone!
Brennan walked downstairs into the workout room. Emma and Shalimar were in the middle of simulation and Adam was sitting on the bottom step observing. Brennan felt extremely nauseous knowing he was about to lie to Adam. Brennan came up behind Adam and sat down directly next to him.
"Hey Adam" Brennan said nonchalantly.
"Hey Brennan, how are you feeling" Adam said with a smile.
Brennan paused for a moment. "Fine Adam. I never thanked you for saving my life" Brennan said.
Adam put his hand on Brennan's kneecap and gave it a squeeze. "Brennan, I am the one who puts your life in danger with this job. There is no need to thank me" Adam replied.
Brennan felt his throat get dry. He never was a good liar. "I broke the phone," Brennan said.
"I know. Did you talk to Thorne first?" Adam asked.
"No, I decided to take your advice and let it go. The GSA will probably end up capturing him eventually and his fate there is much more severe" Brennan said with a fake smile.
Adam smiled even bigger and squeezed Brennan's leg even harder. "You do not know how happy that makes me," Adam said. Adam looked over Brennan's shoulder. "Hey Jesse".
"Hey Adam" Jesse responded.
Brennan immediately removed Adam's hand from his knee and stood up. "Feel like doing a simulation with me?" Brennan said feeling even more guilt ridden.
"Yeah sure, why not" Jesse responded.
"Hey ladies, care to let the men play for awhile," Brennan said turning to Emma and Shalimar who were obviously observing him anyway. (Little did Brennan know that Emma had been reading his mind the whole time he was sitting next to Adam.)
"Sure Brennan", Emma said smiling and leading the way off the platform.
"Jesse take it easy on Brennan. He is not fully healed" Adam said still observing.
"Take it easy on me?" Brennan said. "Ha! That should be the other way around".
Brennan immediately attacked Jesse, throwing two punches and three swift kicks. Jesse managed to block all five, and his first kick sent Brennan half way across the dojo onto his stomach.
"Brennan!" Jesse said running toward him. Adam was already on stage holding a hand out for Brennan. Brennan stood up grabbing his rib cage sighing.
"I am fine guys, calm down." Brennan said (when it was so obvious he was not). Brennan walked slowly down the few steps. "We can continue this later Jes". Brennan walked off with a look of discomfort on his face.
"I am sorry Adam", Jesse said with an upset look.
"It is not your fault Jesse. Brennan is so eager to heal. It takes time," Adam said. He patted Jesse on the back and headed out in the direction of the lab.
MEANWHILE..
Emma grabbed Shalimar by the arm and turned her to look her in the eye as they left the workout room.
"Shalimar, I was reading Brennan back there and he is lying. He called Thorne and Jesse is in on it too. They are going after him tomorrow night. I did not get a hit on what time or where." Emma said.
"Should we tell Adam?" Shalimar said.
"I say we follow them first. They may need a hand. Besides, I met Thorne and he deserves a good ass kicking!" Emma said.
Shalimar grinned evilly and shook her head.
