Sorry this chapter took so long! It will probably be a while until the next
one or the twelfth one though. I'm going to visit my brother at his college
and will be gone for a few days. Sorry once again and thanks so much for
the reviews! :D

Chapter 10: Arguments
When we got upstairs Adam helped me to my bed and sat down. "You wanted to talk?"
he asked me and I thought about what I was saying before I spoke. "Yeah. How did those
guys get into Sanctuary anyway?" I asked plainly. He shook his head. "Honestly
Brennan, we don't know yet." "What?!" I almost screamed. "But Adam, you're a genius!
How can you not be able to figure out how a couple of bums got past the most advanced
technology possible?!" I wondered. "Look," Adam spoke calmly which really bugged
me. "I won't know anything until I have gone back to Sanctuary and accessed the
security files." I sighed and nodded my head. "Who were they?" I continued to question
him. He shook his head again. "I'm not sure about that either." He told me, but I knew he
was holding something back. I glared at him and he looked away. "Tell me Adam!" I
shouted. "Tell you what Brennan?" he asked as if he thought I hadn't figured it out. "I
know your keeping something from me now tell me!" I demanded. "I don't know what
your talking about!" he barely raised his voice. Just then Emma came in and a huge smile
crept over my face as I remembered my 'plan.' "Everything ok in here?" she asked in her
innocent little voice. "Yeah." Adam told her and waved her off. "Wait Emma." I said and
she stopped and turned back around. Adam turned to look at me with a 'what?' kind of
look and I just smiled at him. "Emma, maybe you can settle this for us." I laughed to
myself. "What's that?" she asked interested. "Well Adam said he doesn't know who
those guys were. I however, don't believe him. I say he's keeping something from" I
paused. "us. He insists that he isn't. Think you could help us out?" I asked her with a
smirk. "No!" Adam protested immediately. "Emma you better stay out of my head!" he
warned her. "Well if there's nothing wrong, there shouldn't be a problem with it." She
said in my defense. "Funny, funny. Shows exactly how much you know doesn't it." He
said in a mean tone. 'That's odd for Adam to act that way.' I thought. 'Something really
must be wrong.' I snapped out of thought just in time to see Emma shoot a psyonic blast
at him. I laughed aloud, but Emma gave me a stern look. I shut my mouth and watched
Adam open his. "I-I think they were from.." he stopped. Me and Emma shot each other
anxious looks but quickly returned our attention to Adam. Adam took a deep breath
before continuing. "From G-Genomex." He finished and my jaw dropped. "Genomex?" I
repeated. "How can that be?" Emma asked me. "I-I dunno." I paused as I remembered
my dream. "Oh no." I tried to free my self of the thoughts. "No. No, no, no." "No what?"
Emma asked, concerned. "It cant be." I continued to mumble. "Brennan? Are you ok?"
she inquired. "What?" I shook my head and returned to reality. "Oh, yeah. I'm fine." She
looked at me questionably and I just scratched the back of my neck. "Uh, is Adam gonna
be alright?" I changed the subject. I figured she'd ask me about it later about it and she
said, "Yeah, he'll be good. He shouldn't remember telling us anything." I nodded again.
"Good." I said looking at him. "How could he have gotten out?" I asked turning to
Emma. "What? Who?" she squinted and tilted her head. "Mas.." I stopped. I chewed on
my lower lip and stared at the floor. I could sense her staring at me and I silently thanked
her for staying out of my head. "Mason?" she asked me. I nodded quickly and made my
eyes follow the design on the floor. 'Swirly, swirly. Little green swirl. Little blue swirl.'
"Brennan!" Emma called and I looked at her. "Yeah?" "Why do you think Eckart's out of
his pod?" she obviously hadn't heard of my dream. "Just ask Shal, alright?" I didn't want
to talk about it. She nodded and smiled, then looked towards Adam. "What happen?" he
asked sounding tired. Before Emma could reply I said, "Morning!" he looked at me and
yawned. "I fell asleep?" he asked and yawned yet again. "Yeah." I convinced him.
Shalimar and Jesse walked through the door arguing. "Quiet." Adam tried to demand, but
it merely came out as another yawn. "Shut up!" I yelled at them. Shalimar looked at me
sadly and I asked her, "What's wrong?" "He was calling you delusional again." She
pouted, pointing at Jesse. "Jesse!" I yelled at him as Shalimar embraced me. "Its alright
Shal." I whispered. "Well hey, you're the one having the screwed up dreams." Jesse
argued. "What is wrong with you Jes?" I asked loud, but made sure it didn't hurt
Shalimar's ears. He stamped out the door fuming, and Emma followed him. I sighed and
wished that I hadn't had the dream in the first place. 'Its my fault.' I thought. I held
Shalimar close and watched Adam shake his head.
