Disclaimer: I do not own Mutant X. Blah blah. Happy Turkey Day to all! Even
though this probably won't be up until tomorrow. Oh well!
Don't forget to review! Even if you don't like, just say it sucks. At least I'll know what you think.
Sorry this took so long! I'm getting worse! Hopefully I'll get better! I thought I finished my other fic, but now I have to write an epilogue. Once I get that done though, I should be able to update sooner! Thanks for being patient!
Chapter Three: A Chance?
"What is it?" Jesse asked running into the lab. "Look up everything you can find on Brennan Mulwray." Adam said. "I found something, but I want it confirmed."
Jesse thought for a second. "What did you find?" he wondered. "Nothing, just do your research." Adam said with a bit of an edge and walked out of the lab. Jesse had an extremely confused look on his face when Shalimar came into the lab.
"So what did Adam want?" Shal asked. "I don't know." Jesse said slowly. "Info on Brennan." "What?!" Shalimar almost screamed. "Why?" The molecular shook his head. "I don't know. He said he found something, but won't say what." He stated, still looking confused.
'I wonder what he found.' Shalimar thought. 'I hope it's nothing bad, I really want him to stay.'
In the spare room, Brennan woke up luckily in little pain. He got up slowly and looked around the room. 'No phone?' Brennan observed. 'Great.' The elemental headed out of the room in search of someone.
The place seemed deserted. 'I wonder where everyone is?' As he walked by the other rooms, only one was occupied. 'Emma.' He said to himself. He had met her earlier when she brought him his painkillers.
'Shalimar.' Brennan thought remembering the blonde feral. He searched for her and found her in the lab with 'what's his name?' Brennan asked himself. 'Josh? No, Joe? Jeremy? I don't know.' He gave up.
"Hey!" Shalimar called seeing him enter the lab. "Hi." He said simply. Jesse looked up. 'She seems to be handling this alright.' He thought with a smile and continued to type away on the keyboard.
"How ya feeling?" she asked concerned. "Alright." He replied and forced back a smile. "Whatcha doing?" he asked. "Oh, uh.. just looking up some information." Shal said nervously.
"Do you have a phone I could use?" Brennan asked remembering why he got up. "Yeah, follow me." Shalimar said and walked out of the lab.
Jesse's eyes widened as he looked at the screen. 'Is that what he found?' he wondered. 'No wonder he was pissed.' "Hey Shal." Jesse called into his comm. link ring. "Once you're done I need you back in here." He said as calmly as possible.
"You got it." She answered and continued to lead Brennan to the phone. "There you go." She said pointing. "If you need me, I'll be in the lab." "Thanks." Brennan said with a smile. He waited until she left and approached the phone.
"Hey Doc." Brennan said after a short pause. "Yeah I'm alright. I don't know where I am. Uh huh. No. No, they're ok. I'll let you know. Don't worry. Say hi for me. Ok. Call you later. Bye."
"That can't be!" Shalimar exclaimed. "Shal, it's on his record! I'm sure Adam didn't put it there!" Jesse argued. "Maybe he did." Shalimar said. "Come on Shal, do you really think.." Jesse got cut off. "He didn't want Brennan to stay, so he made it look like he was a criminal. Jesse, you're a genius!" Shal cried and ran to find Adam.
"How could you?!" Shalimar yelled. "What are you talking about?!" Adam asked trying to stay calm. "Brennan's profile, I know you put that there!" she shouted. "So you found it too? Huh." Adam said thinking.
"Guess we have no choice then." He said ignoring Shalimar. "He has to go." "What?!" she screamed. "He can't leave!" "And why not? Because you have feelings for him?" Adam asked trying to keep his edge down.
"Because he's one of us! And I know he isn't a criminal." Shal stated. "And how do you know that?" Adam asked. "Shal, I'm sorry. But we can't keep him here. I don't want any of you to get hurt."
"Adam," Shalimar said calming down. "Please trust me on this. Even if he was a criminal, it said he was accused almost two years ago. He probably changed. People do that, ya know?"
"I know." Adam said. "I just," he paused, "don't know what to do. I don't want you two to get close and then he leaves and you go with him." "What makes you think he's going to leave?" she asked with a smirk. "We have to at least test him."
There was a moment of silence. "Please?" "I'll think about it." Adam said with a sigh. "But don't get your hopes up." "Thank you!" Shalimar cried hugging Adam. 'So much for not getting your hopes up.' He thought.
"Thank you so much!" the feral said with an enormous smile. "Go ahead and tell the others." Adam said unenthused. Shalimar was jumping for joy. 'She's acting like a five year old with a brand new toy.' He thought.
'I hope I don't regret this.' "Don't worry Adam," Shalimar said almost reading his mind. "You won't regret this."
