As Emma peaked around the corner she was given no time to react. One of
Eckhart's agents began zapping her in the chest. It seemed like everything
was suddenly in slow motion. She fell to the floor heart pounding out of
her chest. Her eyes remained open as she saw two agents escorting Thorne
from Brennan's room, followed by Brennan being dragged by his arms by two
men. Brennan looked down the hall at Emma, and she could see his lips
moving, but could not here any sound -- "E.M.M.A.!" She thought he was
screaming her name. The receptionist had come running around the corner,
and she too looked like she was jogging is slow motion. Than Eckhart's face
was directly in hers. "Adam?" Why couldn't she hear him? He was asking for
Adam? She thought her heart would explode. All lights slowly faded out,
even though her eyes were wide open, till she could not think anymore.
As they arrived at sanctuary, Eckhart requested they each be put into individual isolation for the time being. Eckhart generously had two of his laboratory technicians tend to Brennan's wounds.
"What are you going to do to us?" Brennan asked Eckhart curiously as Eckhart observed his men bandage him up.
"What do you want me to do with you?" Eckhart responded.
"Will you let Emma go?" Brennan asked.
"Not likely" Eckhart responded. "Nice try though".
"It looks to me like Thorne got an upper hand on you. How would you like to watch Thorne die. Or better yet, how would you like to kill him your self?" Eckhart said examining Brennan's response closely.
"I don't understand" Brennan said confused. "I..I mean I am not following you".
Brennan winced as one of the lab techs rubbed against his ribs too hard. "Do you mind?"
"What is to follow Mr. Mulwray?"
"Aren't you going to kill us all anyway, or put us in stasis?" Brennan asked still confused.
"Not necessarily. You see you have been such a pain in my side for so long, why would I just kill you? That would be no fun" Eckhart said running his finger along side the table Brennan was now sitting up on.
"Your an insane evil bastard, just like Thorne. I am sick of playing games with both of you. Just kill me and let my soul be put to rest will ya?" Brennan said annoyed.
"Is that what you wish Mr. Mulwray? For me to kill you?"
"Boy, you really are stupid aren't you? Or maybe just deaf" Brennan mumbled.
"Shall I kill Emma first, or you?" Eckhart said ignoring Brennan's insult.
"I never said kill Emma. I asked that you let her go!" Brennan said even more annoyed at the whole situation.
"I have a better idea" Eckhart began to explain. "You see, I am the one in control here Mr. Mulwray."
"There you go with the Mr. Mulwray shit again. Just like Thorne. You crazy assholes have zero respect for me so why don't you cut out the Mr. crap!" Brennan said rubbing the bruises Thorne had put all over his neck.
"Very well" Eckhart said nodding his head to one of his techs.
They pulled out a needle and stuck Brennan in the arm.
"Ouch" Brennan said. "That is another thing, I am so sick of you people sticking me with needles. If my mother saw all these needle marks she would think I was...." Brennan never got to finish he was sound asleep once again.
"Take him to the recon maze, along with the others" Eckhart said grinning. "I will be in my office. This I gotta see".
---------------------------------------------------------
Emma woke up in a large room that resembled a cave. She was sitting on the floor chained to the wall. Ironic thing was there was a key in her lap. She looked over and saw Brennan sleeping to her left.
"The key doesn't fit the lock" a familiar voice said to her right.
"Thorne" was all she could manage to say.
"the key doesn't fit the lock he said again. What is the point!" Thorne said.
Emma ignored Thorne and looked back over to Brennan. "Brennan! Brennan! BRENNAN!!"
Finally Brennan woke after her final shout. It took his eyes a minute to adjust before realizing his surroundings, the chains around his wrists, the key in his lap, and Thorne in the same room as well.
"Where the hell are we?" was all Brennan could manage to say.
"I stole files on a place that looked like this" Thorne started to say calmly.
"I wasn't talking to you dick" Brennan said looking up at Thorne as he fidgeted with the key and the lock on his wrist.
"I have a key to my lock too Bren, none of them work" Emma said.
Brennan looked over at Emma tossing his key gently in the air.
"This doesn't make sense. Toss me your key Em" Brennan said.
Emma gently tossed Brennan her key, and with no luck he was not able to open the lock. Brennan sighed out loud.
"Catch Em" he said tossing her his key.
"No shit" Brennan said smiling as Emma unlocked her wrist and stood up.
"HELL NO!" Brennan said realizing that he was holding the key to Thorne's lock and vise versa.
"I would rather...." Brennan began cursing but was cut off my Emma.
"Listen Brennan, Thorne, obviously Eckhart is doing this for a reason. No doubt he is probably watching on tape our every move. Don't you think we should try to get along and work together on this in hope to get out of this..this what-ever we are stuck in?" Emma said.
"I would rather die" shouted Thorne.
"Well you will than!" Emma said giving him a dirty look.
"No Em, we can't trust him as far as we can throw him. For all we know him and Eckhart are in on this for some reason. The moment we give him that key he will be at our throats." Brennan said shaking his head no.
"Fine guys, I am going to find a way out of her, apparently all by myself. If you two can put your hormone levels down a few notches let me know" Emma said pretending to walk off.
Emma wandered down the only direction she could, turning at the first left corner and peaking at both men with a small grin. She had realized there was no governor on her neck, and they were all free to use their powers.
Brennan and Thorne sat glaring at each other for over five minutes.
"Emma? Em?" Brennan called Emma worriedly stretching his neck to see if she was really gone.
"DAMN!" he said. "On three?" Brennan said to Thorne.
"On three" Thorne said.
"One...Two....Three!" Brennan said as they both pretended to toss the key to each other.
"I knew you were not going to toss it!" Brennan said shaking his head.
"Neither did you!" Thorne said somewhat amused.
Brennan took a deep breath and exhaled loudly. "Want to try it again? I guess Em is right. Think we can put this one on hold for awhile?" Brennan said trying to sound sincere.
"One thing I hate more than you Mr. Mulwray is Mason Eckhart. You have my word."
With that Brennan shook his head.."One, Two, Three" on three both men tossed each other the key.
