He'd overheard her conversation with the others and waited for her to predictably disobey her husband's plea and continue after the mutant. After a moment he wasn't disappointed; Shalimar let her eyes go feral before slowly moving in the direction he knew she would.
Waiting till she was out of sight he circled around the cars so he would be in the perfect position to do what needed to be done.
~~~
She really wanted to listen to Brennan when he told her stay put but when she caught sight of the mutant moving away from her position her instincts told her to act. She knew that if he got too far away they would lose him in the maze of cars, so she decided to listen to those instincts and go after him.

"Guys Shal is on the move" announced Emma
"You're sure?" asked Brennan
"Yeah I can sense her apprehension" she replied
"What about Marc?" asked Jesse
"He is on the move also but I can't tell where"
"Shal come in" Brennan said into his ring. When there was no answer he tried again "Shalimar if you can hear me answer"
"I wouldn't be surprised if she turned it off" said Jesse
"Yeah let's just get there. How much further Emma?"
"Not too far, come on" she replied leading them deeper into the junkyard towards Shalimar and the new mutant
~~~
Using her feral senses, Shalimar could make out the silhouette of the young mutant as he hid behind a row of cars. Moving cautiously along the dirt path she crouched low so not to alert him to her presence any more than she already had. She was ready to pounce when she sensed some one else's presence nearby.
Frantically looking in every direction she opened up her senses fully stretching them out over her surroundings trying to get a location of the other presence. After locating the person she took one last look at the new mutant and moved in the direction of the second person.

He had been watching her intently waiting for her to make her move and he was surprised when she didn't. He was even more surprised when she disappeared from the spot he had been watching her. Looking toward the new mutant he noticed she wasn't there and he became nervous that she had gone a different way or things were changing from what he saw earlier.
"What are you doing?" came a voice from behind him making him jump
"You scared the hell out of me" he replied turning to look at her
"You didn't answer my question and where is Emma?" Shalimar asked crowding the fellow mutant's space making him uncomfortable
"She is with the others"
"Why were you following me and why isn't she with you?" she asked again this time letting her eyes go feral.
Marc swallowed hard and was about to answer when he felt the car he was leaning on begin to shake. Shalimar must have felt it too, he theorized, because before he had a chance to react she had pulled both of them out of harm's way
Two cars tumbled over onto the car he had been leaning against effectively crushing it and the immediate surrounding area causing a loud bang.
Looking from the rubble to the new mutant before them Shalimar cursed herself for turning off her comlink and not listening to Brennan when he said to stay put.
~~~
They were nearly to Shalimar's location when they heard the loud crash
"You hear that?" asked Jesse
"Yeah it came from this way" replied Brennan as he took off in the direction the sound came from "Shalimar" he screamed as he went hoping she could hear him
