Jesse and Emma had returned to the club unaware of what their friends and teammates were going through. They managed to find the girl that one of the waitresses had pointed as being the young woman who left and returned to the club right before Shalimar and Brennan disappeared.
"There she is" said Jesse
Emma looked over toward where he was staring and immediately got a hit off her "Adam was right she is a new mutant. Psionic to be exact"
"That is probably how she knew Brennan and Shalimar were new mutants also" he replied
"Shall we introduce ourselves?"
"Lets"
She immediately sensed the presence of another psionic and quickly realized that she and another man were approaching her. Playing it cool she smiled and greeted them "hello"
"Hello" said Emma "lets go somewhere and talk" she said lightly grabbing the girl's arm and leading out the back of the club
Once out back the two members of Mutant X cornered the young girl and began asking her questions.
"We know you were involved in the disappearance of two new mutants so quit playing with us and tell us what you know" said Jesse
"I have no idea what you are talking about" she replied
"You should know you can't lie to me" replied Emma "So talk"
"If they see me talking to you we are all dead" she replied trying to move away but Emma stopped her with a mental blast. Jesse managed to catch her before hit the ground
Jesse merely looked up at Emma "she wasn't going to talk to us here anyway"
"You could've warned me"
"You caught her didn't you?" she said before leading him to the car
"Adam we have the girl we are coming back to sanctuary" Jesse said into his comm. after placing the girl in the car
"Ok I will be waiting" Adam replied over the comm.

Shalimar awoke on a large bed in an even larger room. Rising slowly from the bed she took in the room and quickly moved to the door. Trying to opening it she wasn't surprised to find it locked. Moving back over to the bed she heard the familiar sound of the door unlocking and watched as the man from the auction walked into the room
"Hello" he said closing the door. Shalimar remained silent as he she watched him move into the room. "I am not going to hurt you"
"Don't worry you can't"
"Why do all feral mutants think they are superior?"
"Maybe because we are" she smirked
"Maybe but not with the governor in, Ms. Fox" he replied sitting down next to her "You are very beautiful you know that?" She remained silent "Your friend that I purchased has been asking about you"
"Where is he?"
"He is here and not to worry I will not harm him if you agree to my terms"
Feeling her stomach lurch Shalimar asked "which are?" "You be with me whenever I want and he is kept alive. God only knows I could force you but this is so much more enjoyable. You fight me and he gets beaten, you refuse and he dies"
Closing her eyes Shalimar began to think about her life before mutant x and things she did to survive on the streets. These were the things that Adam didn't even know about her and the things she fought hard to keep from Emma and the others. "Fine as long as he is not hurt and I can see him"
"You can see him any time you like both of you will be workers here and he will fight when I want him to. You keep him in line and we won't have a problem. You tell him about our deal and I will kill him while you watch"
Shalimar remained silent while he left the room. When she heard the door click shut she began to sob as she thought about what she had just agreed to. //I'm sorry Brennan// she thought to herself as she sobbed. She knew that if Brennan ever found out about their deal he would blame himself and probably get himself killed. She cared about him too much to let him die especially if she could prevent it.

After arriving at sanctuary Adam, Jesse and Emma were able to convince the young girl to tell them all she knew about the auction ring. She confessed to them that their friends had already been sold but she didn't know to whom. However, she told them that there would be several fights before the next auction and they might be able to get a glimpse of the men who purchased their friends.
Through Emma's powers they were able to convince the girl to get Adam and herself on the guest list for one of the upcoming fights. She told them she would talk to the men who paid her to find mutants for them and she would contact them with the information and location for the upcoming fight. After they were finished Emma erased the girl's memory of them and her time at sanctuary leaving only the knowledge that she was to get them on the guest list and contact Jesse at the club with the information they needed to attend.
After dropping the girl back at the club and arriving back at sanctuary Jesse let his dislike of this plan known, "Adam she told me we would have to wait two days before for the first fight"
"Jesse this is the best way of finding them, you just have to be patient" Adam replied
"Brennan and Shalimar could be going through god knows what and you want me to be patient?"
Adam was about to answer when Emma jumped in "Jesse we don't know where they are and they can take care of themselves. Adam is right this is best course of action right now"
"Sorry I just hate being useless" he replied
"I know you do but right now this is all we can do"
"What about Christina?" Emma asked
"For now we handle this by ourselves. When we get Brennan and Shalimar out then we contact Christina give her the information we have and let her and her people handle the rest" he said before leaving the two alone
"What else did she tell you?" Emma asked. Jesse just looked at her "there obviously was something else she told you or you wouldn't have stormed in here the way you did"
"She told me that the men are sold as fighters and the women are sold as slaves as well as fighting. That's why they want ferals and elementals they make the fights interesting and the ferals are able to heal faster than most mutants"
Placing a hand on his shoulder for comfort "we are going to find them Jesse" He merely looked at her and walked away. Emma understood how much Jesse cared for Shalimar, she was like the sister he never had and he hated not being able to help her. She decided to go the meditation pond and try to get hit off their missing friends.
