The disclaimer is still in part one. Figured I might as well as throw some
of the others in there right? I mean they would be looking for Brenn and
Shal. ;) R&R

"Adam I'm worried about Shalimar and Brennan" worriedly said Emma
"Still no word from them?" asked Adam
"No and it is going on four hours" "Emma's right its not like Brennan or Shalimar to go four hours without checking in" added Jesse
"Well I tried tracking their comm signals but I haven't had much luck" they didn't look convinced "take the helix and retrace their steps from the safe house.
Emma and Jesse nodded and left for the hangar
//Brennan, Shalimar what have you two gotten yourselves into?// thought Adam as he continued scanning for their comm signals.

Slowly opening his eyes Brennan shook off the last remnants of the sedative Alan had given him. Lifting his head he noticed the empty chair across from him and the oanic began to rise within him.
//where is she?// he thought turning his head from side to side looking for any sign of her.
"Looking for something?" asked Alan as he re entered the room
"Where is she? TELL ME DAMN IT" yelled Brennan
"Tell you what" he said placing the tape recorder on the floor in front of Brennan "why don't you just listen" he pressed play and Shalimar's screams began to echo throughout the room
Pinching his eyes shut, he tried to envision a smiling Shalimar not the one he was currently hearing on the tape. "Is she dead?" he asked. His voice nearly cracking
"Not yet" he replied as he pressed stop on the recorder. "She really is a tough one, had to turn the taser to high just to get her to scream. Of course after that I switched to other methods"
"YOU BASTARD, I WILL KILL YOU"
"You know I was gonna wait until you were awake and make you watch but she was just too tempting to wait"
Brennan's face turned red with anger as he lunged chair and all and tackled Alan to the ground. Still weak from the sedative though Brennan was quickly overpowered and was now on the receiving end of Alan's furious kicks and punches. Suddenly Alan's attack stopped and Brennan opened his eyes to see Emma standing over him.
Turning his head he could see Jesse fighting with Alan.
Alan lashed out at Jesse but he massed and Alan's hand connected with his hard chest with a nasty crunch. Staggering back and cradling his injured hand to his chest, he reached for his gun but Emma sent a psychic blast his way, knocking him unconscious.
Standing up Brennan walked over to Alan, grabbed his collar and began punching him over and over "I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL" he screamed between punches "DO YOU HEAR ME, YOU BASTARD?"
"Brennan stop" yelled Emma as Jesse tried to pull him off the unconscious man
"Enough Brennan" said Jesse who held him tight "we have to find Shalimar"
Hearing her name Brennan stopped struggling and moved out of Jesse's grasp. Taking one last look at the man on the floor he headed toward the hallway in search of Shalimar. //Please God let her be alright//

[Shalimar's POV]
She thought she heard someone yelling her name, calling out to her.
She wasn't sure how long she had laying there. All she knew was how painful it was to move and or breathe.
Then she heard it again-someone calling her.
It sounded like Brennan. But was her mind playing tricks on her? She didn't know. So she took a chance.
"Brennan" she called.
[General POV]
"Shalimar!" Brennan yelled back when he heard his name. "I'm coming hang on"
The threesome burst into the dimly lit room to find their teammate and friend half conscious in a bloody heap on the floor.
"Oh my God" gasped Emma
"Shal can you hear me?" shakily Brennan asked as he took in her beaten form.
Shalimar merely moaned in reply
"We need to get her back to Sanctuary" said Brennan gently picking up the beaten form of the woman he loved. "I'm so sorry" he whispered to her as he carried her to the helix.
[In Route to Sanctuary]
"Hang on Shal you're gonna be fine" whispered Brennan as he stroked Shalimar's hair
"Brennan...I can't...breathe"
"I know we are almost to sanctuary, just hold on please" he pleaded "I love you too much to lose you now ok?" he finished by kissing her on her forehead
"Love...you...too" she replied before losing consciousness.
