Chapter 4

Shalimar walked into the lab looking around. Adam saw her walk in and turned to face her. "Who are you looking for?"

"Roselyn. Have you seen her."

"Yeah... She went to pick up her things with Brennan. She was looking for you but I guess Brennan volunteered to drive her."

Shalimar started walking out. "Thanks."

She grabbed a water bottle and headed for the dojo where she started training.

*****************************

Brennan was sitting in the car waiting for Roselyn. He had been waiting for over 30 minutes and decided to go upstairs and look for her.

He got out of the car and locked it putting the keys in his jacket.

He went inside and went up to the third floor where she said that her apartment was.

As he walked through the hallway he saw a group of men walking away. They walked by him and he recognized them as GS Agents.

Running to the end of the hall he turned right and saw a door wide open. Walking inside he saw Roselyn on the floor covered in blood. "Oh shit!"

He ran next to her and checked for a pulse. He found one but it was weak. "Adam!" He yelled into his ring.

"What is it Brennan?" Asked Adam.

Brennan picked Roselyn up and ran to his car. "It's Roselyn. She's been shot and her pulse is weak. I'm driving back to Sanctuary have the lab ready."

"Hurry." Said Adam.

******************************

Adam was waiting in the lab when they heard Brennan run in with Roselyn. She looked very pale and was unconscious. There was blood on her chest and on Brennan's clothes.

Brennan put her down on one of the tables and Adam moved next to her. "What happened?"

"I don't know. I was waiting for her in the car. After about 30 minutes I went to look for her and I found her like this." Said Brennan.

"Okay. You guys wait outside. Shalimar you stay. I might need your help." Adam started to get ready to remove the bullet.

Shalimar stayed behind and the rest of the guys walked out.

***********************

The wound was located on her chest just below her shoulder. A little lower and it would have gone straight through the heart.

After a few hours of working Adam finally got the bullet out. He dried the sweat from his face and removed the gloves from his hands.

"She lost a lot of blood. She needs a transfusion. Call the others so that I can test them for a match.

Shalimar went to clean her hands and left the lab looking for Jesse and Brennan. When she found them in the rec room talking she went up to them.

"Adam wants us in the lab. Roselyn lost a lot of blood and needs a transfusion. He wants to test us to see if any of us are a match."

Brennan and Jesse both followed Shalimar as she walked back to the lab. Neither said a word.

***********************

Brennan watched as Adam drew the blood from his arm. He felt the needle penetrating his skin causing a small sting. The blood slowly made it's way from his arm to the container at the top of the syringe.

Adam removed the container from the syringe and then took the needle out of Brennan's arm.

He did the same for Jesse and Shalimar and walked towards the lab equipment. "I'll have the results in a while."

Brennan sat down in one of the chairs and closed his eyes. This reminded him of the time they spent here waiting for news about Emma.

He was lost in his thoughts when he heard Adam talking to them. "Jesse. You can give her your blood. She is type A and you are type O. Both Brennan and Shalimar are type B."

Jesse walked up to another table and laid down. Adam walked up to Jesse and got him ready for the transfusion.

When they had enough blood Adam sent Jesse to lie down in his room for a while. Once Jesse left Brennan walked up to Adam. "Is she going to be okay?"

Adam turned around to face him. "Yeah, she came out of the surgery alright. Now all we have to do is wait and hope that there is no infection to the wound. She'll be alright."

Brennan looked down at his blood stained shirt and ran his hands over his pants. "I think that I'm going to go shower. I need to get all this blood off."

"Okay. I'll call you if anything happens."

Brennan walked out and left Shalimar and Adam alone in the lab. Shalimar turned to face Adam when Brennan left. "I think he likes her."

"I know." Said Adam. "Hopefully she can help him get over his guilt."

"You're right. Let's just hope she wakes up soon."
