"Hello Alan" a man in a suit said as he approached Alan
"I kept my end of the deal. You got access to her and did whatever it was that you wanted to do, now keep your end" he spat
"You had your chance to get Mr. Mulwray and you blew it" the man replied pulling out a gun and aiming it at him
"No wait I didn't tell them anything" pleaded Alan
"And this will make sure you don't" he replied pulling the trigger sending a bullet between Alan's eyes and then left.

Shalimar's eyes shot open. Even though they were inside a mountain she could still hear the thunder as it raged outside. Slowly extricating herself from Brennan's arms she rose from the bed and made her way to the bathroom. In truth it wasn't the thunder that woke her.
Splashing some water on her face she tried to wash away his touch and the image of him above her. Tonight was slightly different though. The nightmare changed tonight. Instead of waking up when he finished, tonight she saw him leave the room and talk to a man just outside the door. She couldn't see his face but she could hear his voice as he talked with Alan. Then three other men came into the room and approached her, that's when she woke up.
//why me?// she asked herself as she looked at herself in the mirror. Taking in her appearance she noted that her bandage had begun to fall off. //should get Adam to fix that// she thought temporarily fixing the bandage. Moving her hands along her stomach she began to think about the little life growing inside her.
//Don't you worry no one will ever hurt you// she told herself. She was so deep in thought that she didn't notice Brennan watching her from the doorway.
"Don't worry your figure hasn't changed yet" jokingly he said
Shalimar jumped a little.
"Sorry I thought you knew I was there" he apologized moving behind her and wrapping his arms around her.
"It's ok and I wasn't checking out my figure for your information"
They both laughed
"Did I wake you?"
"It's ok. Did you have another nightmare?"
"Yeah but this one was a little different" she replied leaving the bathroom to sit on the bed
"How so?" he asked following her
"Look its late let's just go back to bed" she replied avoiding his question and gaze
"Shalimar why won't you talk to me? I want to help you" he said softly
"He....uh had just finished....ya know" she paused taking a deep breathe. Brennan reached over and took her hand in his for support. "Usually that's when I wake up but tonight I didn't. This time I saw him leave the room and heard him talking to someone just outside the door. Then these other men come in the room and that's when I woke up" she finished looking down at their joined hands holding back her tears.
"It's ok we'll get them, I promise" he replied pulling her into this arms and rocked her to sleep

[Next Morning]
"Jesse come and take a look at this" called Emma from the computer station "What's up?"
"The police found a man's body in an alley early this morning shot once in the head"
"So?"
"The man matches Alan's description to a tee"
"We better tell the others"

[Kitchen]
Brennan, Shalimar and Adam were eating breakfast and discussing the doctor that was going to monitor Shalimar's pregnancy when Emma and Jesse rushed in.
"Where's the fire?" asked Shalimar as she returned to her breakfast
"Hungry?" noted Jesse looking at all the food on Shalimar's plate
"Hey she is eating for two" replied Brennan
"Anyway" interrupted Emma "I was monitoring the police bands this morning and they discovered a man's body in an alley fitting Alan's description"
"You're sure?" asked Adam
"Yep, he was shot once in the head" answered Jesse
"Can't say I'll miss him all that much. So now what?" asked Brennan earning looks from everyone
"Well it's obvious that whoever hired him silenced him to keep him from telling us anything" deduced Adam
"What did your contacts say?" asked Emma
"There was one doctor who worked for Genomex in the past and was on the verge of something like this but he died four years ago in an auto accident"
"Little convenient wouldn't you say?" added Shalimar
"That's what the police thought but nothing ever came of the investigation" "So we're at another dead end" supplied Jesse
"Not necessarily" began Adam "I said he was on the verge of something like this but if he kept his research findings at Genomex then...."
"Then someone else could've completed his work" finished Emma
"Exactly"
"Well we're still at square one then" pointed out Jesse who was getting confused
"Not really. Think about it, whoever completed his work would want to publish the findings to gain the glory" said Adam
"Then why kill the other doctor?" asked Brennan
"Maybe he didn't like what they were going to use his research for" supplied Shalimar
"So do we have a name?" asked Jesse
"Dr. Harvey Lithe" replied Adam
"So let's go pay this doctor a visit" said Brennan rising from his seat
"No you two have an appointment with Dr. Schilling. Emma and Jesse will go visit Dr. Lithe" retorted Adam getting up from the table and leaving the kitchen
