The team didn't have to wait long for a reply. Adam's contact told him to send any relevant information on Hailey and Shalimar's condition and he would get back to him as soon as possible. They had fallen into Adam's trap without even realizing it.
The group was gathered in the lab and Adam had just finished informing them of what his contact told him.
"So when he gets back to us what do we do with the information?" asked Jesse
"I've contacted Strohm and he had agreed to look it over and if it matches what he knows about the project then he has agreed to go with me to one of the highest contacts I have" replied Adam
"Any chance of you telling us who this contact is because and no offense I don't have much trust when it comes to your contacts" retorted Brennan
"All I can tell you is that he is very high up in the government food chain"
"And the contact that experimented on me?" asked Shalimar
"His name is Joel Weathers. We worked together on many different projects but I completed the gene manipulation research before he did"
"So he did all this to prove what?" asked Jesse
"We are both well respected within the government but....."
"But if he could prove that your work created dangerous mutants who are a threat to society than you would be ruined" finished Emma
"So he's been trying to frame you?" asked Brennan slightly shocked that everything they went though was because of jealousy
"Yes and no." started Adam "Joel owns a pharmaceutical company, now I ran a check, the substance that was found in Shalimar's system, as well as the other mutants, matched a drug his company manufactured" Seeing the confused looks on their faces he elaborated "He's trying to prove I created these monsters, as Emma put it, while at the same time he has tests subjects for his new drug"
"Guy's twisted" commented Shalimar
"Yeah he was always a little..." Said Adam while making a gesture indicating that Weathers' wasn't playing with a full deck
Just then the computer chimed signaling to Adam that he had an incoming message. Moving to the computer Adam opened the file and after about a minute a large smile crept across his face
"If that smile is any indication, I take it he went for it?" asked Brennan
"Yeah he went for it" replied Adam
"Good I hope he rots in jail for the rest of his life" growled Shalimar before storming out of the lab with Brennan hot on her heels
Breaking the uncomfortable silence that followed the two members out of the room Emma asked "Is there anything we can do?"
"No I need to contact Strohm and from there we go to my contact"
There was another awkward silence
"I'm gonna go get something to eat" stated Jesse as he rose to leave "Em you wanna join?"
"Sure why not" she replied following him out of the lab
~~~
Brennan followed Shalimar to the meditation pond where they sat in compatible silence just watching the water.
Taking a deep breathe Shalimar finally broke the silence "It's finally over"
Wrapping an arm around her shoulder and pulling her close he replied "Yeah it's finally over. I love you" he added kissing the top of her head
Lifting her head off his chest and looking into his eyes "I love you too" she replied before kissing him on the lips.
THE END!!! ~~~
