Slowly opened his eyes Brennan wondered how long he had been unconscious when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Not knowing who it was he quickly grabbed them and was about to hit them when he heard a familiar voice
"Brennan easy it is me, Adam"
Shaking off the fuzziness of the drug he focused his vision and let go when he recognized Adam "I'm sorry. How did I get here?"
"Well I am your new owner"
"So it was you and Emma that I saw at the arena"
"Yeah, I already removed your sub dermal governor"
"Adam, what about Shalimar? We have to get her away from that guy"
"I know but it is a little more complicated than you think"
"How can it possibly be more complicated?"
"Because Ortega is a new mutant, a psionic to be precise"
Hearing Adam tell him that Ortega was psionic it seem to make everything make sense. It explained why he bought both of them and somehow knew how they felt for each other. "If he is a psionic why is he participating in the buying and selling of new mutants?"
"From what we can tell he hates new mutants and he hates being one. In fact we managed to get the girl from the club, Cally, to tell us that he hired her and that he is in fact the head of ring"
"And he's after Shalimar" he muttered under his breathe
"Brennan we are going to get her back"
"I know its just this guy Adam he" he hesitated not sure if he should tell Adam about the deal Shalimar had made to save his life. Looking around to make sure no one else could hear him he continued "he is forcing Shalimar to have sex with him"
"What?" a flabbergasted Adam asked
"He was blackmailing her by telling her he would kill me if she didn't have sex with him. See Adam now that you bought there me is no telling what he will do to her"
"Alright I will have Emma talk to Cally see if she knows anything we can use. In the mean time you are going to continue fighting because right now that is our way to keep an eye on Ortega"

Bursting into Ortega's Shalimar demanded to know where Brennan was. Ortega merely smirked "your friend is no longer with us"
"What does that mean?"
"I thought part of our deal was for you to keep our deal a secret. Dag told me he overheard you telling him and I couldn't have that now could I?"
"Is he dead?" she asked her voice breaking
"He was a good fighter it was a shame I had to let him go"
"You bastard"
"Call me whatever you like but I still own you and you will do as I say and tonight I say you fight in the arena do you understand?" he said grabbing her by her hair
"Yes" she replied letting a tear roll freely down her cheek
"Good" he said before kissing her roughly "now go"
Shalimar got out of the room as fast as she possible could and went to her own room and cried mercilessly as she thought about what Ortega had done to Brennan. "I am so sorry" she said aloud as she sobbed. She continued to cry until she cried herself to sleep.

"Adam I talked to Cally and had contact some people she knows in the arena and they told her that there is going to be a fight tonight" Emma said entering the lab
"Alright" replied Adam as he went back to work
"That's not all though" started Emma "Cally said this is a special fight" she paused looking from Brennan and then to Adam "apparently it is going to be between two female ferals"
"Shal" Brennan muttered
"More than likely yes" replied Emma "it seems that females rarely fight and to have two ferals fight..."
"It would turn a tidy profit" finished Adam
"That's what Cally said"
"Emma get Cally, the three of us are going to attend this fight"
"Adam I am going with you" yelled Brennan
"Brennan" started Adam
"No Adam there is no telling what he has told her. She probably thinks I am dead and if she thinks that going into the ring there is no telling what she will do"
"Alright you can come with us but do not go after Ortega. Remember he has the controls to her sub dermal governor"
"How are we going to expose him?" Emma asked
"We won't have to I am going to contact Christina and give her the location of the arena. When Shalimar is in the ring I will contact her and her people will do the rest" replied Adam
Brennan snorted and stormed out of the room leaving a confused Emma and a perplexed Adam behind.

TBC....I know this was a short chapter and I am sorry and yes I can't help but be evil. We are nearing the end of the story though, but no worries I have another fic in the works; so you won't have to go too long without something from me...hopefully. Anyway, R&R before you leave.
