Back at sanctuary...

Shalimar beat Jesse and Brennan back to sanctuary. She actually felt gross. She had slept with many men before, okay half the population on earth, but this time she didn't enjoy it. She felt used. She instantly jumped in the shower and scrubbed her face and body.

In The Lab...

Adam was drunk again, and showing off his other side.

"Emma, get your ass in here NOW!" he slurred.

Emma knew he was drunk again. She ran as fast as she could to the lab. She didn't want him hurting himself. Adam was starring at her when she jogged in.

"Yeah Adam, what is wrong!" she said worried.

"Hmmmm. Do that again Emma" Adam slurred.

"Do what again?" she asked puzzled.

"Step out of the lab for a second" Adam slurred.

Emma didn't understand what he was getting at but stepped back out any way. Adam was the boss.

"Hurry Emma, get your ass in here!" he yelled.

Emma ran back into the lab and threw her hands up. Was this a sick joke?

"Hmm. just what I suspected" Adam said. "They have no bounce to them."

"Adam!"

"Where the hell is Shalimar? I need her to run in here?" he said as he took another swig of booze.

In The Hall...

Laughter of Jesse and Brennan filled the halls as they got back to sanctuary. They had done some male bonding on their long walk back.

"Thanks again" Jesse said running off to his room. "I am going to call her right now!"

"Good for you Jes!" Brennan said rounding the corner.

Shalimar had heard the commotion and stepped into the hall with her robe and a towel on her head.

Her and Brennan almost bumped into each other.

Brennan was knocked back onto his ass. "Who the hell are you? How the hell did you get in here?" Brennan demanded to know sparking up some electricity in his palms.

"Brennan relax, it is me, it is Shalimar" she said throwing her hands up.

"NO, Shalimar is back at the Strand. You are an imposter, Shalimar is way more sexy than you!" he said getting ready to release his power.

"Brennan, I am not wearing any make-up." she said smiling.

"For the love of..... don't every do that to me again Shal. You nearly scared me to death!" Brennan said standing up.

"Sorry, I will go put my usual four coats on now" she said fluffing her hair with the towel.

"Shal, are you okay? I mean, Adam had no right sending you in there like that you could of got killed. Not to mention what he asked you to do was so wrong. Adam is just not himself anymore. I am going to have a word with him now" Brennan said grabbing her and hugging her.

"That's so sweet Bren, you know I still have a little energy left if you want to..." Brennan put his hand over her lips.

"Your damaged goods Shal, it will never happen" he said removing his hand and walking away.

Back In The Lab...

"Adam get your hands off me NOW!" Emma cried.

"Come on Emma, share these crabs with me. They are powerful, they will change both our lives" Adam said grabbing her ass.

Brennan stormed in hearing the commotion. "Get your hands off her NOW! Brennan demanded.

"Oh Brennan, are you jealous because your the only one who hasn't got any action around here" he slurred.

"Adam were the hell were you when I was captured?" Brennan said grabbing Emma by the arm and tugging her out of Adam's grip"

"Don't you touch her she is my lay!" Adam slurred.

"Is it true Em? Do you wanna lay with this used up drunk piece of crap?"

Emma began crying and shook her head no. She cuddled into Brennan and sobbed.

"Em, get the hell out of here, I will take care of this!" he said kissing Emma on the head and releasing her.

As Brennan watched Emma leave the lab safely, Adam had pulled an empty whiskey bottle from his drawer. The moment Brennan turned back around he was hit in the head with the bottle, glass shattering everywhere.
