Ok, I was able to get this one up but I won't be able to post more for a
while unless I get to work on it while I'm gone. I will try, but I'm not
making any promises. Hope you like this chapter though. Also, don't forget
to review! Please! It really means a lot! Thanks!

Chapter 11: The Truth
It was just under a week later and we were all back at Sanctuary. I was slightly paranoid,
due to my horrid dream, but I kept my calm. Adam was checking the security files, Jesse
seemed to be still a bit uptight and paced back and forth. Shalimar was half asleep on the
couch, and Emma was meditating in her room. I walked around trying to find something
to do. Normally there'd be ten things to do at once, but not today. Adam was focused on
finding out who got in and how. Well, at least how. Me and Emma hadn't told Shalimar
or Jesse about Genomex yet. We weren't sure whether or not Adam was right, but we
both thought he was. "You find anything yet?" I asked Adam from the steps leading to
where he was working. "Not much." He replied. "It seems as if someone shut off the
security cameras from the inside before the others came. But that can't be." "What if they
phased through it?" I asked him while looking in Jesse's direction. "No, I would have
seen it on the inferred camera. When someone phases they don't lose their body heat.
Even if they did or could, there would still be some left over from before the phasing."
He informed me. 'How could he have ended up so smart?' I wondered. "Well what if
someone did shut off the cameras from the inside?" I asked. He didn't answer me with
words, instead gave me a 'are you crazy?!' kind of look and looked away. "Hey its
possible!" I argued with his silent remark. "Brennan use common sense." He told me and
for some reason sounded unusually cold. "Do you really think someone living here in
Sanctuary helped get themselves, and people they loved, kidnapped. Not to mention
almost killed!" he exclaimed. I was about to respond when Jesse cut in. "Well you know,
Brennan wasn't kidnapped." I looked at him in awe at what he was accusing me of.
"You're the one who phased the floor for me to get out!" I yelled at him. "That's the only
reason I escaped!" "Yeah thanks to me." he smirked. "Would you stop being so full of
yourself!" I screamed. "Guys!" Adam tried to quiet us down. "No, Adam." I protested.
"You've been acting really weird lately Jes." I informed him. "What's that supposed to
mean?!" he cried. 'Don't lose your temper.' I told myself. "I dunno. Why don't you tell
me." I replied calmly. "Look, I dunno what your talking about." Jesse lied. I chuckled
and looked away. I saw Emma at the bottom of the stairs. I smiled. "Perhaps Emma will
tell us if anything's going on in you head." I almost laughed. "Brennan," Emma started
but I gave her a look that said, 'Please.' She sighed and bit her lower lip. "So Jes, wanna
give it a shot?" he looked at me with horror and simply said, "Yeah, right." "What?" I
asked. "If there's nothing to hide why not?" laughter filled my head and I worked hard
for it to stay in there. He rolled his eyes and looked to Emma. She raised her eyebrows in
a 'lets go' type of way and I smiled to myself. 'Thank you Emma!' Jesse sighed.
"Alright." He said. "Give it a shot." I smiled brightly and Emma came up the stairs.
"No." Adam said, who we all forgot was there. "What?" I asked him. 'Don't ruin my plan
Adam!' "Emma stay out of his head." He demanded calmly. She sighed in a 'awe come
on!' way but Adam shook his head. "No." he said a little more stern. Before I could look
back to see Emma's expression she hit Adam with another psyonic blast. "Emma!" Jesse
yelled, but Emma had already launched one to him. She concentrated for a minute, and I
watched her attentively. She gasped suddenly and put her hand to her mouth. "What?
What?" I asked her and Jesse spoke. I couldn't believe what I was hearing and took a
couple steps back, almost falling off the platform. "No." I murmured, but I knew it was
the truth. Me and Emma stated hard at each other until Jesse came back to his senses. At
the same time Adam came to his and they both didn't seem to know what was going on. I
quickly changed facial expressions so they wouldn't know what we just found out. "Well.
I'm gonna go check on Shal." I said in the cheeriest voice that I could. Emma nodded and
followed me down the stairs. "We have to tell Shalimar." She whispered, and I nodded in
agreement as we went to wake up Shal.
