~*~*Chapter 1_Capture*~*~
There was no one at the lake, not one person. Shalimar and Brennan were all alone. They sat beside each other, listening to the water trickle over rocks and the rustling of leaves.
"It's been a while since you and I just got some time to sit alone together."
"Yeah, it has been," Shalimar said, right before Brennan pressed a kiss to her lips. He pushed her back making her put an arm down behind her so she wouldn't fall; but he kept pushing. Shalimar fell back on the soft blanket that was under her as Brennan proceeded to move his kiss from her lips down to her neck.
Shalimar let out a soft moan as Brennan slipped his hand under her shirt and rubbed her side. Both of them jumped when they heard Adam's voice over their com rings. "Shalimar, Brennan, I need you two, to go pick up a new mutant and take her to a safe house."
"Can't Jesse and Emma go?" Brennan whined.
"No. You and Shalimar are closer and the girl is feral," he replied.
"Why do all of our sweet moments always get interrupted?" Brennan asked, annoyed, as he helped Shalimar up. She shrugged and then kissed him once more before they packed up and headed to the car.
"Ok, Adam, so where is this girl and what's her name?" Shalimar asked, once they were in.
"Her name is Jessica Eisley. She works at the club, down on Main Street. Be gentle with her, guys, her abilities are mutating and because she's a feral, it makes her very sensitive and dangerous."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Brennan mumbled under his breath, still obviously upset that his time with Shalimar had been interrupted once again.
"We're on our way, Adam," Shalimar told him. Then she touched Brennan's arm gently. "We'll get some more time alone, don't worry."
"When Shal, next year!?"
Shalimar looked down, and then out the window and rested her chin on her hand.
"I'm sorry, Shalimar, I didn't mean to yell." Brennan leaned over and kissed her cheek.
"It's ok," she paused, and then a mischievous smile spread across her face. "Maybe we could find some time tonight? Say around ten, my room?"
Brennan smiled and leaned over to kiss her before leaving to get Jessica.
~*~* 2 hours later *~*~
Shalimar and Brennan had successfully found Jessica and were now on their way back to a safe house. Shalimar had an uneasy feeling the entire time they were in the car.
When they got to the safe house, Shalimar and Brennan let Jessica settle into one of the chairs. "Shal, I'm going to go get some pizza for lunch. You gonna be ok here?"
She nodded and smiled, trying to hide her uneasiness. "We'll be fine."
Brennan sensed that she was worried, but decided to ask her about it when he got back.
Jessica smiled as Brennan left. They couldn't make this any easier for her. About twenty minutes later Shalimar heard something banging on the door. She walked up the stairs and hesitated a minute before opening it. *It's probably just Brennan.* She thought.
Sadly, she was mistaken. The minute her hand turned the knob the door flew open and an agent tackled her to the ground. Shalimar quickly jumped back up, but a dizzy spell hit her, which gave the agents the second they needed to start shocking her with the teasers. She cried out and screamed as the weapons touched her body.
"Don't hurt her. Mr. Eckhart needs her in good health." Jessica reminded.
Brennan, who had just pulled up saw the black SUVs and heard Shalimar scream. He jumped out of the mustang and rushed into the safe house. When he entered he found an agent holding Shalimar over his shoulder. Angered, he started to let electricity flow into his hands, but even with as fast as he was, Jessica was faster.
She jumped from the floor to the platform at the top of the stairs and kicked Brennan hard in the side. Not giving him a chance to regain his balance she brought her knee up to connect with his chest and then threw him over the side.
Brennan landed on the floor with a loud THUMP and passed out. Jessica smiled and motioned for the agents to follow. They obeyed, and after throwing Shalimar into the back of one of the cars they sped off.
~*~* Lab *~*~
Jesse was in the lab with Adam getting a checkup when all of a sudden Emma burst in with a very weak and bruised Brennan.
"What happened!?" Adam exclaimed. Jesse jumped up and helped Emma get Brennan into the medical chair.
"Adam, it was a trap. The GSA have Shalimar." Brennan's voice was weak. "I have to go get her out." He started to get up, but Emma stopped him.
"You can't go anywhere, Brennan. Lie still."
"Emma, I have to help her."
"No, Brennan, Emma's right. Now hold still so I can get a scan."
Brennan reluctantly lay down in the chair and let the scan finish. "Adam, I have to get her out." Brennan said as he started to get up again.
Adam put a strong hand on his shoulder and stopped him. "You can't go anywhere in this condition. You have two fractured ribs and a broken wrist, not to mention the bruises."
"I don't care! I have to help her!"
"Brennan, calm down. We'll get Shalimar back, don't worry."
"No, I'm going to get her." Adam quickly injected him with a sedative. Jesse caught him as he fell unconscious and lay him back down in the med- chair. Adam and Emma immediately started working on Brennan's injuries, as Jesse went to see if he could get into the Genomex computers, in order to find out what they were up to.
~*~* Meanwhile in Genomex *~*~
Shalimar screamed in agonizing pain as her whole body felt like it was set on fire. "WHAT DID YOU JUST DO TO ME!?"
"Miss Fox, you should remember Richard Saunders."
Shalimar's heart almost broke at the mention of his name. She loved Brennan deeply, but part of her still longed for Richard.
"We have reconstructed the serum he made."
"I took that serum. It didn't hurt like this."
Jessica smiled. "We've made a few... adjustments. Mr. Eckhart wanted us to test it on the strongest mutant we could find. I couldn't think of any stronger than the ones in Mutant X. I must say though, I am quite disappointed. I thought you would put up more of a fight when we attacked you."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but when I get out of here I'm gonna show you how much I can fight. You're going to wish you had never heard of new mutants or Genomex." Shalimar said through clenched teeth.
"Miss Fox, there won't be much you can do if you don't have your mutant abilities. Now I promise if you answer my questions I'll make this testing as painless as possible."
Shalimar narrowed her eyes. "What questions?"
"Sanctuary, where is it located?"
Shalimar gave her a 'you've gotta be kidding me' look and kept silent.
"Ok, fine. We'll just have to do this the hard way." Jessica nodded and two other agents took Shalimar to a cell. Jessica listened from the outside as Shalimar screamed in pain and smiled.
After a few hours of torture the agents drug her to another cell and left her there with nothing but a cot, a blanket and a grate to an air duct.
