Jesse ran toward Brennan and helped Shalimar pick him up off the ground and
carry him toward the helix.
Thorne realized he was not being followed and stopped behind a tree to catch his breath.
As the door opened on the helix, Adam ran out to help Shalimar and Jesse with Brennan. Adam stopped to briefly look at Brennan with much concern, before saying "Get him on the helix".
As Jesse and Shalimar dragged Brennan onto the helix, Adam paused again and put his hands on Emma's shoulders.
"Are you okay Emma?" he asked as he gazed into her eyes.
"Yes Adam, I am fine" she replied.
Adam put his hand behind Emma's back and motioned for her to get on the helix.
Thorne pulled out a switch blade from his back pocket. He opened it up and held it on the palm of his hand. Using his powers, he sent it toward Adam, striking his target in the stomach. Adam clutched his gut and fell directly on the knife, sending it even further into his flesh.
"ADAM!" Emma yelled and she tried to pick him up but was not strong enough.
"Shal, Adam has been hit!" she yelled.
Shalimar helped Jesse gently set Brennan's body on the floor, before running back out of the helix and rolling Adam over.
"Oh my God Adam!" she yelled before picking him off the ground and carrying him into the helix.
"What are we going to do?" Emma cried. "Adam takes care of us mutants. With him hurt who is going to take care of Brennan!"
"Jesse, take us to the nearest hospital!" Shalimar demanded.
"We are just going to have to pray and hope no one notices Brennan's little secret" she added.
Shalimar had pulled the knife out of Adam's stomach and was pushing down hard trying to stop the blood loss. Blood was managing to escape even so, and it was everywhere.
Adam was still awake. "Where are you taking us?" he questioned.
"The hospital" Shalimar responded.
"NO!" Adam said strongly. "NOT BRENNAN!"
"We have no choice Adam. Don't worry everything will be fine." Shalimar said.
Adam rolled his head over to look at Brennan, who was passed out with his head positioned up against the wall.
"What did Thorne do to him?" Adam questioned.
"He is fine Adam, he just has a few broke ribs. Nothing a doctor can't fix" Shalimar lied.
With that they arrived at the hospital and Jesse helped Adam walk into the emergency room while Emma and Shalimar helped Brennan.
Brennan came through and let out a moan as they placed him on a stretcher. He started to put up a small struggle kicking his legs out and moving his arms. It was just enough to distract the pharametics and one had to give him a sedative.
One of the men held a flash light into Brennan's eye and commented "Can you hear me sir? What is your name son?"
Brennan's vision was still blurry, but he managed to see a familiar face standing behind the two men working on him.
"Shal, what is going on?" he said weakly.
Shalimar grabbed Brennan's hand and squeezed it.
"You are at the hospital Bren, you will be fine. They are going to take good care of you" she replied.
"Wher...Where's Adam? Why can't Adam take care of me? Brennan said confused.
"Adam was stabbed Bren, he is fine, don't worry. Your the one I am worried about" Shalimar said.
Brennan slowly stopped his struggle and passed out into sleep.
MEANWHILE:
Two cars pulled up to the old Winn warehouse, and Thorne was already standing outside, black bag over his shoulder.
"What took you so long? What the hell am I paying you dumb asses for anyway" Thorne said as he motioned for one of the men to slide over and give him the front passenger seat.
"Where are we going sir?" One of the men asked. "I thought you wanted us here to capture any intruders?"
"No one asked you to think. I am not paying you for assumptions." Thorne said. "Change of plans. I want a report on all surrounding hospitals and I want to know if one or two patients were admitted. An Adam Kane, and a possible Brennan Mulwray".
"Thinks are just getting interesting" Thorne said laughing under his breath.
