Chapter 7: The Breakout

Adam returned to the Camaro and found Shalimar, Jesse, and Emma there. He asked what they were doing

here and they looked at him appalled. "Adam, do you know what he did?" Shalimar asked him somewhat

horrified. "I have to tell you all something." He paused for a moment, a lump forming in his throat, and said,

"I asked him to do it." "You what?" Shalimar asked. "Adam. why?" Emma said, shocked. "Are you

serious?" Jesse cried. Adam shook his head and replied. "Yeah. I asked Brennan to get us some money

because we needed it." They all looked at each other, crushed, and Jesse said, "But I thought we had

funding?" "Well, not anymore. When I told you we did, it had already been pulled. Brennan already knew

and was forming a plot in his mind. I just visited him over at Jascoda and he's not doing so good. Listen I

think we can get him out of there, but right now, we have to get back to Sanctuary." They all agreed and

headed back immediately. When they got there it was already 11:00 and they were all getting tired.

However, none of them wanted to go to bed 'cause they wanted to know how they were gonna get me out.

They all got something to eat and Adam started discussing his plan. "Okay, so first off we will go to visit

Brennan, then we will tell him to duck, as will we, and Emma will do her big blast and freeze everyone's

minds. Then," "Adam how do you know I will be able to do that?" Emma asked. "Well, uh, you can. I know

you can. So just. have faith." Adam said not sounding too reassuring. "Anyway, we will get Brennan to

unlock himself, and Jesse will get us out the quick way. Shalimar will help us if we need any but that

shouldn't be nessesary." "Oh, come on Adam, I want to have some fun too." Shalimar complained. "I know,

Shal, and you might, but just don't count on it." She looked disappointed but nodded. "Okay, everyone

understand what we're gonna do?" Everyone nodded and yawned. "Okay get some sleep, see you tomorrow,

we're leaving around noon." The next morning, the team, minus one, went out for breakfast. After breakfast

they headed to the Jascoda Jail to help me. They got there, around 1:30 and walked to my cell. It was empty

so they asked a guard where I was. "They took him to the basement." The guard said. "Why?" Shalimar

asked. "He was being disrespectful." Adam put his head in his hands for a moment, as the rest of the team

looked at him confused. He raised his head and asked the guard, "When will he be back?" "In ten minutes,

if he's alive." The team looked horrified at Adam and he just hung his head. He felt responsible, but knew I

would make it. They went to the parking lot to wait, as a long silence persisted for about five minutes.

Finally Shalimar broke the silence with "He will be ok right?" Emma looked at her and said "He's hurting,

but he's gonna be ok, I can tell." Shalimar nodded and they all sat there for a couple more minutes before

going back in. As they entered, I was being dragged by two other men, right in front of them. "Brennan!"

Shalimar called, but she didn't get a response. I tried to look up at her but couldn't. The team followed me

as I got thrown violently into my cell. They locked the door behind them and gave the team a dirty look

before moving on. I was laying on the floor, not moving. "Brennan?" Emma called softly. "Yeah." I

said out of breath. "Just stay down there for a second we're gonna try to get you out." Adam, Shalimar, and

Jesse all ducked as Emma attempted to freeze the others minds. It didn't seem to work but I couldn't even

get up so I couldn't unlock myself anyway. Instead Jesse made it so that the rest of them got into my cell

and phased the wall as we all got out. As we started to pull away with Emma and Shalimar in the back

letting me lay across them as they tried to make sure I was ok, a cop saw us leaving and shot through the

back windshield. Luckily, no one got hurt but I told Shal and Emma to duck incase he fired again. We

escaped his range and he let us go. We got back to Sanctuary and Adam and Shalimar helped me in as

Emma quickly followed, and Jesse walked in last. I may have been home, but this wasn't over yet.
