Here is another part. Sorry it took so long I have been so wrapped up in my
other story I completely forgot about his one. Enjoy

Hailey was officially crawling her way into everything. There wasn't a spot in sanctuary that she hadn't explored. Brennan was having a hard keeping up with her and Shalimar couldn't help but laugh whenever he asked if she was like this when she was Hailey's age.
Brennan and Shalimar had gotten married a few weeks after she was back on her feet. They moved into a joint room in sanctuary so the family could have their privacy but with Hailey moving the way she was privacy wasn't something they had a lot of.
Ricks had not been seen or heard from since that night in the warehouse but Shalimar still felt the need to be extra protective of Hailey and everyone else.

[Brennan and Shalimar's room]
Brennan was sitting a chair reading a book to Hailey while Shalimar put away some of the baby's toys. She would occasionally glance up and listen to Brennan's soft voice as he read to their daughter. She was truly happy and thankful that everything had worked out but she had this nagging sensation that it wasn't over.
"She loves it when you read to her"
"She's only nine months old I don't think she even knows what I am saying to her"
"Maybe not but she loves the sound of your voice and that is what she responds too"
"She is liker her mother then" he replied wiggling his eyebrows. She playfully hit him in the arm making Hailey giggle. "You too?" they all laughed
"I think it is someone's bedtime" stated Shalimar glancing at the clock and picking up Hailey
"Goodnight sweetie" said Brennan kissing her on the forehead.
The baby giggled again
"Be right back" she replied disappearing into the baby's room

"Adam I've been monitoring the police bands for the last several hours and it turns out there have been three unexplained deaths in the area in the last week" said Jesse reading the info off the computer screen
"What is so important about that?" asked Emma
"Well, it is not. However who they were and how they died are" replied Jesse. "I ran their names through the database turns out they were all new mutants" he paused to gauge their reactions "gets better they were all ferals"
"Do you think Ricks is back?" asked Emma
"If he is then Shalimar and Hailey could be in danger. Not to mention any feral that he gets his hands on"
"So we stop him" added Emma
"Well it might not be that simple. He obviously has the funds to start the project over."
"Even more deadlier than before it would seem" interjected Jesse
"How so?" asked Adam
"All the victims had massive organ failure and there was an unknown substance in their blood"
"Let me see" said Adam moving behind Jesse to get a better look at the computer screen. After several minutes Adam made grumbling noise
"Adam what's wrong?" asked Emma
"It seems he is taking a different approach with these mutants. Instead of trying to manipulate their existing mutant DNA he is trying to erase their human DNA"
"The side effect Shalimar was experiencing?"
"Yep he is using that as a starting point to make what he did to Shalimar succeed"
"So instead of making the mutant DNA stronger he is eliminating the human DNA altogether?" asked Jesse trying to understand the older man
Adam merely nodded in response
"Well we have to tell Shalimar and Brennan" stated Emma
"Tell Shalimar and Brennan what?" asked Shalimar as she and Brennan entered the room
The three merely looked at each other
"Some one gonna tell us or..."Brennan started
"It would seem that Ricks is back to experimenting on ferals" replied Adam
Shalimar and Brennan exchanged a look
"You don't think he is after Shalimar again do you?" asked Brennan
"He might be but from what I can see from the coroner's reports on the three victims found he would be more inclined to come after Hailey" replied Adam
"There is no way in hell he is getting his hands on her" growled Shalimar
"Of course not but we need to be on our guard when away from sanctuary and we need to put a stop this before more innocent people die" answered Adam
They all nodded in agreement and set about to find a way to shut down Ricks and his experiments for good.
