"Christina you sure your information is correct?" Adam asked the distorted image on the computer screen
"As far as I know this ring has been kidnapping and selling mutants for over two years now"
"How come no one caught on?"
"Every time our people got close they moved their operation consequently without a trace"
"So now they are here?" Adam asked knowing exactly where she was going with this information "And let me guess you want Mutant X to infiltrate and stop this ring?"
"Yes I am sending you all information we have on this ring and who we think is the head of it. Reports show they don't stay in one place for very long so you only have small window of opportunity to get this done before they disappear again"
"I have to tell you I am a little apprehensive about sending my people in"
"All we are asking of you Adam is to get us the information we need to shut them down, we will handle the rest"
Looking over the information she had sent to him "well by the looks of these reports you are asking for a lot"
"I wouldn't be asking this of you or your team if I knew of another way to stop them"
Running a hand through his hair Adam finally relented "Alright let me talk to my team" he said cutting the link
~~~
Adam gathered the team and explained the situation to them. "I am a little apprehensive about taking this assignment because the information I have been given is vague and we know almost nothing these people"
"Adam these people are selling mutants to the highest bidder it is worse than what Eckhardt was doing" said repulsed Emma
"Emma is right we are here to help mutants we can't just turn our backs on the one's who are being sold as objects" added Jesse
"As long as we are all in agreement" replied Adam. They all nodded and he continued "we don't know much about these people but what we do is they seem to have a vested interest in elementals and ferals"
"Why?" asked Brennan
"I don't know but I checked missing person's reports and six mutants have already disappeared in the last 24 hours"
"They're not wasting anytime are they?" Shalimar asked "So how do we find them?"
"My guess is they will find you" Adam replied looking at Brennan and Shalimar "The plan is for the two of you to get caught so that we can trace you to their location where Christina's people will do the rest"
"You make it sound so simple" replied Brennan
"Hopefully it will be just that" he replied but he had a feeling it wouldn't be
~~~
Brennan and Shalimar went to the same club that the last mutant who disappeared went to. They had been there for most of the night with nothing to show for it except a lot of come on's from the opposite sex. Deciding to call it a night they contacted Adam and told it was a bust and that they were on their way to sanctuary.
"Well that a was a waste" snorted Brennan
"Was it now?" said a voice from behind them
Turning quickly the two mutants came face to face with three burly men and a woman who had hit on Brennan earlier in the night.
"Can we help you?" Shalimar asked the group
"Yes you can come with us quietly or you can come with us with other way, either way you are coming with us" said one of the men
"Really what makes us so special that we get the honor of accompanying you somewhere?" Brennan asked
"Listen freak we know what you are so don't play stupid with us" said another man
Looking over to the young girl that was with them it dawned on Shalimar how they figured out they were mutants. "You're a psionic" she said to the young girl
"Yes I am"
"Why are you helping them? They are selling us like merchandise" Brennan asked agitated that a fellow mutant would betray other mutants to these monsters
The girl was about to answer when the man who called them freaks stepped forward "We don't have time for this he said he wanted them so let's bring them and get out of here before someone sees"
The man who had yet to speak a word stepped forward and aimed a tranquilizer gun at them and fired two darts hitting his desired targets.
Lying on the ground between consciousness and oblivion, Shalimar could make out some of their captor's discussion
"He is strong and fit he will bring a good price to whoever owns him as well as those who bet on him"
"Yes and she is very beautiful as well and no doubt please any man"
The last thing Shalimar felt before losing consciousness was intense fear and shock at what she had just heard.

TBC...I know I am back to being evil again! But this fic is turning out to be my best yet...at least I think so. Thanks to Quest for the input and help. Don't forget to R&R before you leave.
