Thorne attempted to use his cell phone and the signal was weak. He stepped
outside to the front of the warehouse where he was greeted by the second
guard.
"There is no sign of anyone sir", the guard reported to Thorne.
"Very good, please continue looking. I am going to call in some more men just to be on the safe side", Thorne said while dialing a number on his cell phone.
MEANWHILE
Emma heard the door unlocking to her room. She picked up a chair and stood directly behind the door. The moment the door opened Emma swung the chair as hard as she could. She caught the guard totally by surprise and knocked the food he had in his hands out of his hands and knocked him back to the floor into unconsciousness.
"Fool" Emma said as she lifted the chair over her head and hit the man one more time. Emma cautiously looked both ways outside of the door before dragging the man into her room and activating her com link.
"Adam can you hear me?" Emma asked.
"Emma, thank God your alive. I did an ETA scan on Brennan's link, I am five minutes away." Adam said.
"I have escaped" Emma continued, "Thorne had me locked in a side room. Everyone else is chained in the plant, I am going to get them down now", Emma said.
"Be careful!" Adam said.
With that, Emma quietly hugged the walls of the building structure toward her friends.
Brennan attempted to zap Jesse's governor against his own judgment. He missed and shocked Jesse in the chest, along with shocking himself (due to being soaked by Thorne).
"Ouch!" he yelled out, "Dammit Brennan, is that the best you can do?" Jesse moaned.
"This wasn't my idea in the first place. I told you I can't see straight. Do you think I enjoy torturing myself?" Brennan said pissed off.
Brennan again began coughing and spit up more blood. He clinched his lip with his teeth in pain only to make his busted lip bleed heavy again.
Shalimar could not help noticing what bad shape Brennan was in. He was so pale. The front of his shirt was completely blood-stained from his ribs. She could not help but think he was bleeding internally and probably would not make it through anymore torture.
Emma walked up to her friends with her finger over her mouth, motioning to be silent. She stood on the tips of her toes and managed to unclasp Brennan's arms. Brennan almost immediately collapsed on her. He was almost to weak to stand. Emma worriedly threw both her arms out and steadied Brennan. He looked at her with so much compassion.
"I am going to kill Thorne Em. I am so sorry. Did he....." Brennan started to say.
"Bren, NO. I am fine. He never touched me" Emma said reassuring she was okay.
She proceeded to unclasp Shalimar's arms and than Jesse's. As they all freed their legs Emma spoke quietly.
"I knocked one guard out, as far as I can see there is one more around her somewhere. I have not seen Thorne. Adam should be here any second." Emma said.
"Brennan, deactivate our governors" Shalimar demanded.
Weakly, Brennan zapped everyone's governor giving himself an unpleasant jolt each time.
"Good, lets get the hell out of here!!" Jesse said as his governor was deactivated.
"I'm for that" Shalimar said putting her arm around Brennan's waist trying to take some weight off of him. Emma grabbed Brennan's arm and wrapped it around her neck.
"Two beautiful ladies putting their paws all over me, I must be dreaming" Brennan managed to keep his sense of humor and charm going.
"In your dreams only" Emma said smiling at him as they walked towards the front door to the plant. Jesse opened the front door and walked outside in front of his team.
Thorne was standing off to the side on his cell phone. His mouth dropped when he saw them. "How the hell did they get out" he mumbled to himself as he dropped his cell phone causing it to break. Thorne reached into his pocket and pulled out a remote to the governors. He pushed the button for Shalimar, nothing. He pushed the button for Jesse, nothing. "Shit" Thorne said throwing the remote on the ground.
Brennan squinted his blurred vision at Thorne and was filled with rage.
"He is mine" Brennan said.
Jesse put his hand out to touch Brennan's chest and gave him a light push back.
"No Brennan, let us take care of him" Jesse said.
Emma removed Brennan's arm from her neck and proceeded to walk forward towards Thorne along with Shalimar and Jesse.
Brennan clutched his ribs and leaned back against the building coughing.
Thorne frantically looked around and spotted a shovel leaning on the side of the building. Using his telekinesis, he picked it up and sent it directly at them.
Jesse pushed Emma behind him and turned rock solid, causing the shovel to bounce off his chest.
Shalimar's eyes glowed as she pounced at Thorne giving him a kick in the stomach. Thorne swung his fist at Shalimar and she ducked underneath it giving him a punch in the gut. Thorne kicked at Shalimar hard sending her backward.
The guard that was patrolling the area came running out from the side of the building. Brennan noticed him and instinctively threw his leg out and tripped the man. As the man stood up Brennan used all of his energy and threw a punch into his face, knocking him on the ground.
Jesse turned rock solid again and pushed Thorne, sending him several feet back landing in grass. As Thorne stood up again Emma sent Thorne a psionic wave hitting him directly in the face. He shook it off and gave Emma a glare.
"I take it you are declining my offer Emma. I am very disappointed" Thorne said.
"I would rather rot in hell" Emma said giving Throne another blast.
The helix landed down off to the left of them. With that Thorne took off running to the right..
Jesse started to run after him, but stopped when he heard Shalimar call his name.
"Come on Jesse, we have to get Brennan medical attention NOW!" Shalimar yelled.
With that, Jesse changed his direction toward Brennan, who was on the ground next to the guard holding his side tightly and eyes closed.
"There is no sign of anyone sir", the guard reported to Thorne.
"Very good, please continue looking. I am going to call in some more men just to be on the safe side", Thorne said while dialing a number on his cell phone.
