~*~* Chapter 3 *~*~
Brennan snuck around the corner, into the garage.
"Where do you think you're going?"
With a gasp he spun around. "Umm, I was just going out to get some air."
Shalimar gave him a disbelieving look. "Brennan, don't lie to me."
He hung his head. "How did you know I was here?"
She smiled. "I heard you come out of your room, so I slipped past you and beat you here." She smiled softly at him. "Turn around."
"Why?"
"I wanna fix the tag on your shirt." Brennan did as she asked and turned. She stepped behind him and tucked the tag on his shirt under, secretly leaving a tracking device on it. "Brenn, you can't take this guy alone." She said as he turned toward her.
"Yes, I can!" he snapped.
"Ok, maybe you could, but Adam said it would be safer if you didn't."
"Listen, I know what this guy can do. I lived with him and his sister for six months. I know how he thinks and I know how sadistic he can be."
"That's exactly why you should let us help you. If he's that crazy, how can you be sure you can handle him?"
"I can handle him. I don't want the rest of you to be caught in the crossfire. You saw his power. I don't want him to hurt you."
"It took me by surprise. I can handle it."
"Shalimar..." He looked her straight in the eyes.
"Yeah?"
Without warning Brennan threw a handful of electricity at her and knocked her out. He bent down and placed a gentile kiss on her forehead. "I'm sorry," he whispered.
He took his comm. ring off and placed it in her hand before jumping into the black Mustang and speeding out of Sanctuary.
~~~* 20 min. later *~~~
Shalimar sat up with a groan. "Brennan?" She blinked a few times to clear her vision. Feeling something cold in her hand she looked down. Shaking her head she slipped the ring onto the chain she had around her neck. Shalimar stood up and took off, heading for the lab. "Adam, we've got a problem!" She said as she ran in.
"What is it?"
"He left."
"What?"
"He left. He's going after Jake."
Adam sighed in aggravation. "Fine." He lifted his com link to his mouth. "Jesse, wake up. I need you to track Brennan. He left to find Jake."
"Ok," Came Jesse's sleepy reply.
"Umm, Adam?"
"Yes?"
"He left his comm. ring." As she spoke she held out the chain with the ring on it. "But I know he took the Mustang."
Adam sighed. "Jesse, Brennan left his comm. ring here so I need you to track the Mustang.
"I'm on it, Adam,"
Shalimar rushed out of the lab. Adam knew exactly what she was about to do.
She picked her jacket up off the couch and turned around to find Adam standing in her way. "Where do you think you're going?"
"Adam, I have to find him."
"No, Shalimar, It would be better if you just stayed here."
"He's going to get himself killed!" she yelled.
"Brennan will be fine, but it will only complicate things if you go after him."
Shalimar huffed and threw her jacket down. She would wait to see if the Mustang turned up soon. Otherwise she was going to find the tracker she placed...on her own.
~*~* Warehouse ~ 2:30 a.m. *~*~
Brennan walked into the abandoned building and stopped. He knew Jake was there. Aside from the fact that he had checked every other hide out Jake used to use, he could just feel it. "Jake! Jake, where are you?! I know you're here."
He felt a sharp pain in his neck as someone injected him with a tranquilizer. "You're right, I am here." Brennan's eyes widened when he realized what was happening, but it was too late. He fell unconscious on the floor.
Jake took him to a room in the basement and tied him to the wall. "Killing you will be one of the greatest pleasures I've had in my life." With that he walked out leaving Brennan alone in the cold basement.
