Chapter Five

"Jacey, its no big deal, I'm really good in self-defense" Bryan said going back to the apartment. "I thought you wanted to go to the library" Jacey said, "Oh, I'll get it in the morning" she said. When they walked in the phone started to ring, "Whose calling at this hour?" Jacey asked picking up the phone. "Hello" she said, "Hello, this is Mr. Johnson the head chair at Washington D.C Computer Company and is this Bryan?" he said. "Hold on for a minute" she said and covered the phone, "Its Washington D.C computer company" Jacey said passing the phone to her. "Hello" Bryan said, "Bryan, Professor Macy sent me your work on computer technology and we have a job offering for you" he said. Bryan and the head officer of the company spent an hour on the phone. "What did they want?" Jacey asked, "They have a job offering for me. They'll call back next week for my answer" Bryan answered.

The next morning.

Shalimar, Emma, and Jesse waited for Brennan to get off the phone, "Ok Jacey and Bryan will meet us at the diner" he said. They all headed out the door and into a car and drove off towards the diner.

"Bryan, what are you going to tell Jesse?" Jacey asked walking up to Aunt May's diner, "I dunno," she said walking in. They found a table that could fit six people, "Here they come" Jacey said as they walked in and found them. Jesse took a seat next to Bryan; Brennan took a seat next to Jacey, while Shalimar and Emma sat next to each. "We need to talk" Bryan thought to Jesse, "Can you guys excuse Bryan and I for a minute" he said as they walked outside. "What's wrong?" Brennan asked and they all looked at Jacey, :I don't know anything" she lied, but they still looked at her. "All right, I may know something" she said, "What is it?" Brennan asked, "Last night some company up by the white house called and they have a job offering for her," Jacey explained.

"What's wrong?" Jesse asked, "Um, I was offered a job" she said, "Well, that's great," he said giving her a kiss, "No, its up by the white house, I was offered a job to be head of the computer department" she said breaking away from him. "Are you going to take the job?" he asked taking a seat, "I dunno" she said taking a seat next to him, "If you take the job do we break up?" Jesse asked, "I hope not" she said and saw a look on his face. "We'll end up breaking up, cause she wants to keep her options open" he thought, "How could you think that, why don't you have faith in our relationship" she said getting up. "If you wanted to know something just ask," he said getting up too, 'Do you want to break up?" she asked. "Maybe it would be for the best," he said having his angry getting the better of him and covered his mouth, "I didn't mean that," he said.

"Oh this can't be good" Shalimar said looking outside they saw Bryan come back in "Sorry about this, but I've got to go" she said grabbing her bag and left. "Jesse, what did you say?" they asked as he walked in and Bryan walked out. Bryan walked down main street and walked in the library, "Hey Bryan" said someone. "Lily, what are you doing here?" Bryan asked, "I just wanted to see where you lived," she said. 'But I didn't tell you where I lived" she said suspicious, "You're right, they told me" she said pointing to Jacey's brother and Eckhart. "Eckhart, don't you ever get sick of looking for me?" she asked backing away. 'No, I just want to captured you and use you as bait for Adam" he said. "Oh, you should have said that" Bryan said making books fly off the shelf and she started to run while everyone started to run towards the door so they can leave and get out of harms way.

"I got to go find Bryan" Jesse said getting up "No, you'd be the last person she wants to see" Jacey said as they walked out of the diner. "Shalimar and I will go, besides I know where she'll be," Jacey said. Brennan, Emma and Jesse got in the car and drove off, "Why did you pick me over Brennan?" Shalimar asked. "Cause I might need your ability to track her if she's not where I think she is'" Jacey answered and headed towards main street.

Bryan kicked Lily, she started to spin in the air and land on top of a bookcase, and a GS agent jumped on top. He kicked her in the stomach and than across the face and she fell from the bookcase. She coughed up blood and was picked up and she hit another bookcase, she made them fly backwards and hit the tabled and she started to limp and run. "Joseph the lights" Eckhart said to Jacey's brother, he concentrated and made the lights go off and another telekinesis mutant made the blinds cover the windows. Bryan was surround in darkness only hearing her own breathing.

"The library isn't closed, is it?" she asked looking at her watch, Shalimar's eyes changed and saw Bryan being captured with an electric glove. She ran over to the library but a wall came up and was thrown back into Jacey. 'So this is Joseph's sister" said someone, "Lily, how do you know my brother?" Jacey asked, 'Oh its you, well he has a ten inch scar on his back and you have a five inch, does that prove that I know your brother" she said. There came a light from the sky "Well, that's my cue to leave" she said disappearing and the wall came down. Jacey opened the door and the lights turned on and they saw bookshelves on the ground. "She must have put up on hell of a fight," Shalimar said, "Blood" Jacey said pointing to a small puddle of it. "Adam" Shalimar said, "I'm here," said Adam, "You and everyone else need to get up to Washington library and Main Street," she said. "Why?" Brennan asked, "We have a major problem" Shalimar said, "We'll be there soon," Adam said. "Bryan left us a clue" Jacey said pointed to a piece of paper with the letter E on it, "Eckhart" Shalimar said.
