Thanks again for the reviews and the luck! Unfortunately, I guess I'm just not a lucky person. Grrr.... I demand my bio teacher regrade our finals!!! At least my finals are over. Anywayz... on with the story!
Chapter 6
Jesse returned to the abandoned warehouse where he found Brennan whispering to Shalimar and Emma focusing on bringing down the feral's temperature.
"I called Adam and he's going to be right over."
He glanced over at the barely conscious feral.
"How's she doing?"
Emma looked at Jesse and sighed.
"Well, the good thing is that she hasn't been getting any worse. But at the same time, she hasn't been getting any better."
Jesse nodded, gently grabbed Shalimar's hand and then walked to the doorway, being careful to avoid being seen, to wait for Adam.
A groan could be heard from the cold, damp cell. Vince had just regained consciousness and was rubbing his head. He looked around and quickly realized that his stupid mistake had cost them the captives.
"Shit! Blaine's gonna have my head now. How could those two outsmart me?!"
He ran out of the compound and into the forest in search of his partners.
"Blaine! They bolted!"
"What do you mean they bolted? I thought you were a good tracker Kat."
"Well, apparently Vince didn't do a good job and their friends came and get them."
"Argh!!!"
Blaine was frustrated. He had been really looking forward to torturing that little feral. Torturing the members of Mutant X. He hated them. Hated their ways of hiding new mutants. All new mutants shouldn't have to hide! They should be able to live on the surface, after all, they were superior. Blaine just didn't understand why Mutant X chooses to help people of their kind by putting them in the Underground.
The goal of NexGen was to help new mutants live in peace with normal people, even if it meant eliminating certain individuals.
"All right, Kat, see if you can pick up on their trail. We will find them, no matter how long it takes. When we do find and destroy them, all new mutants would be happier under our aid."
Adam piloted the Double Helix as fast as he could. I just got to get there, got to. As he was absorbed in his worry, the Helix was already within range of the warehouse. Adam quickly snapped out of his thoughts and set the plane in stealth mode. He quickly landed and exited, cautious of any public that might be around. Then he scanned his surroundings. His gaze landed on the warehouse and knew that's where he would find his team.
"Shal, stay with me okay, everything's gonna be fine," whispered Brennan. He'd been whispering similar sayings ever since he had cradled Shalimar to him. The elemental just wasn't sure if he was trying to convince Shalimar or himself.
Then, he heard Jesse shout.
"Hey, Adam's here!"
Jesse quickly went out to meet Adam, while Brennan and Emma got up. The oldest mutant kept the blond feral close to him and walked out to meet Jesse and Adam.
Adam turned around when he heard Jesse yelling his name.
"Jesse, where are the others?"
"They should be coming, we need to get Shalimar to the Sanctuary fast."
Just then, Brennan and Emma came up to meet them. Adam paled when he saw the condition that Shalimar was in.
"Oh my god, Shalimar." Adam immediately turned serious and ordered them into the Helix.
The genius had Brennan set Shalimar down on the floor of the plane. He noticed the elemental's hesitation and assured him that it would be okay.
Adam set of to work with what he had, with Emma assisting and Brennan hovering close by. That left Jesse to pilot the Helix back to Sanctuary as fast as it would go.
Adam had been working on her wounds when he discovered Shalimar had stopped breathing.
"Damn!"
This alarmed the remaining members of Mutant X. Adam had already started CPR and was desperate.
"Shalimar, come on, I know you can pull through, come on."

Author's Note: Alright, I think I'll leave it there. Please leave a review. =)
Sorry about the long wait.... I was going to update yesterday, but my computer decided it hated me and wouldn't allow me to use the internet or some other programs. So, I decided that I better use my mom's computer. Hopefully I could get my computer to be nice to me again soon, just lucky it at least let me save my fanfic onto a floppy.
