Sanctuary – continued
The feral girl walked cautiously over to the examination seat. Shalimar automatically sprang into action and stepped between them.
"Stop!"
It was the first thing that the child had said since he had woken up. Something in his voice told the others to calm down.
"Adeline, how the hell did you get here? How the hell did you find this place, and why didn't you get here sooner???!!!"
"I'm sorry, but I came to rescue you as soon as I can. The stupid plane found me and I only managed to knock out three of the staff. There were too many. Luckily, they just chucked me out not too far from here. I threatened to fry their circuits if they reported me."
"Excuse me, I'm Adam, and I'm wondering not only how you know this boy, but how on earth did you find him? We have the most advanced cloaking systems; you must've had to use some kind of tracking device."
"He's easy enough to find. Our watches work simultaneously, so I can find him if I had to. But I have to admit, the signal was heavily disrupted."
"Wait a minute; did you say you threatened to fry the plane systems? I mean, you looked pretty feral to me, but I've never seen a feral with powers like mine."
"Well Brennan, she's obviously a mix. It does happen you know"
"Listen, I'm in trouble for being here as it is. I brought some stuff for my friend. If you'll excuse me I'll be off."
Then, the girl's eyes went amber as she concentrated. "Someone's followed me. They sound like they're sneaking." Two agents with heavy weapons walked straight in. They weren't even GSA. They looked more like exterminators. The weapons were long metal rods with thick barrels along the stop filled with darts, probably tranquilisers. Before any fighting could start, Adeline clasped her hands together and a large current of electricity formed which she threw at the agents. They went down like flies.
"Have fun. See you later." She flipped out of sight.
