Chapter 9

Stacey was sound asleep on the old beat up couch. Her head was resting on Mike's chest, her strawberry blonde hair cascaded over her face. Mike however laid awake. He was wondering whether the Mutant X team found them gone yet. And if they had sent out Brennan and Shalimar to search for them.

What does it matter? I've all that matters to me right her in my arms. Just as that last thought crossed his mind the door banged. Mike jumped up and caught Stacey before she fell to the ground. Stacey groaned as she woke. Another loud bang hit the door.

"What the hell was that?" Stacey exclaimed

"I think someone's trying to break down the door" He took her hand in his and looked in her green eyes. "I think the GSA found us."

They both slowly stood up, tense uncertain. Stacey tried to sense who was out the door but for some reason she couldn't. The door broke down and tons of GSA agents came running through. Mike counted 30. Stacey although tired was still fighting gamely. Mike angry and frustrated fought hard and violent. An agent grabbed Stacey and twisted her around holding her still for a second. She quickly broke free but not before a tranquilizer was injected in her shoulder. She faltered then fell. A GSA agent caught her and carried her out of the room.

"NO!!!!!" Mike shouted but he was knocked across the face with the handle of a gun.

The agents left as if nothing happened. One agent stood over him ready to shoot him with the gun. Then he flew across the room, shot by a bolt of electricity. Brennan soon game into view and gave a sharp jab to the agent's eye. The agent backed up and blindly fell through a window to his death. Brennan ran over to Mike and helped him up. He jumped up and tried to run out the door after the agents but Brennan easily held him back.

"Dude it's too late we have to go back to the sanctuary. Then we will find her ok?"

"No there's no way I'm not going to let her go through that hell she went through before."

Brennan shook his head and steered Mike out the door in the Mustang. He then made Mike promise that he would go to Sanctuary. Then he hopped on his bike and they drove off to the sanctuary.
