He feel happy after received her message, knowing she was very fine now. Shalimar came in and sat in front him, she knew Adam might scold her or punish her to wash the toilet for one week.

" Shalimar, do you think it was a good idea to scream at your team-mates? " asked Adam softly.

" Yeah I knew Adam. " said Shalimar looking down to the ground.

" Good, you have a mission. "

* I knew it! Washing all the toilets in Sanctuary! * Shalimar's thought.

Adam leave the lab then came back with a file. He sat down and passed the file to her. He gave her all the informations and it need to be done before day after tomorrow. ( Huh?! )

" So you know your assignment ? " asked Adam standing up from his place.

" Adam? Why? " she asked.

" What do you mean? "

" No toilets? " Asked Shalimar looking at Adam's eyes.

" Don't make me do that, you will if you repeat it, again. " said Adam seriously.

Shalimar left the lab and asked Brennan to acompany her. They both went out with the Audi.

" What's these all about? " asked Brennan looking at the file while driving the Audi.

" Punishment! "

" Yeah I know but what's in it? " Brennan asked softly.

" Adam wants me to assist Charlene at the new warehouse. " said Shalimar throwing the file to the back.

They soon arrived at the warehouse, but they found there's a black Altis car stopped in front of the warehouse. Shalimar and Brennan opened the door, it was disorder in it and found no one. Brennan went up stairs and search the rooms. Shalimar stayed at the hall and tried connect to Adam. When Brennan opened the last door, he found Charlene laying on the ground. Brennan rush towards her and gently pulled her up and put her into his arms. Suddenly two GSA agents came in, Shalimar eyes' turn into yellow. Brennan came down and put the injured lady on the ground.

As Shalimar begin her fight with the agent, Brennan shoots another agent with tesla coils while Shalimar unleashes a series of punches on the agent. Both of them fainted after ' The Mutant X lesson'.

Back at Sanctuary, Jesse and Emma quickly prepared the medical equiments as soon as they heard Brennan and Shalimar's. When they arrived Brennan quickly put Charlene on the medical bed and let Adam examine her. While waiting for the result, Brennan went up to his room for a shower bath, Shalimar changed her cloth then went down to Jesse's working place.

" So how is she? " asked Shalimar with concerned.

" She's comatose... " said Adam

" Don't tell me, it is bad or good? " asked Jesse.

Emma nodded her head and touched him on his shoulder. They feel better after hearing the good news. Adam told them Charlene just in good condition, but need to rest for few days. They nooded gently.

" Adam, how did they know about Charlie? Dr. Anderson had covered it. " asked Shalimar.

They looking at each other without giving any comments. They have no idea why are these GSA agents hunt for her, unless there's a betrayer in Mutant X giving out the information.

He feel sorry for not giving any respond while Charlene knocked the door. He finish the coffee and put it on his table. He walked out, looking at up stairs he's thinking whether it's a good time to ask Jade. He went up and stood outside, again, he heard her favourite music.

* She's listening to the music, that's mean she's in good mood now. * Adam's thought.

As he took out the key from his pocket he heard she's singing. A grin begin appear on his face, he decide when she finish he'll go in. He sat down on the ground and listening to her. Suddenly she stopped singing, Adam stood up and opened the door. There's she stood, in front of the bed.

" No, please don't. You don't know what are you doing. "

" Of course I know, I love you~since I met you the first time. " said Jade moving her lips down to his chest.

Adam gently put his hand and turn her head up, so that he could meet her eyes.

" I need to know Jade. " said Adam

She sat beside him and listen to him patiently. She told him everything he need to know. She actually is working undercover with Mason. Her mission is to get the database from Adam since Mason couldn't get it by himself. Adam sight deeply as he heard her.

" Adam, but I love you." explained Jade looking into his eyes.

" HOLY SHIT! " yelled Shalimar standing out the doorway.

Jesse and Brennan shook their head on the spot when they saw everything. Charlene stood behind Shalimar, her mind went blank when she saw Adam and Jade on the bed.

" WHAT THE HELL YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?! " said Shalimar walking into her room angrily.

" Shalimar... " said Adam standing up.

" GO AWAY ADAM! " said Shalimar without looking at him.

She grabs Jade's arm tightly and pulled her up.

" Shalimar! Stop! " said Adam looking at her.

Silence filled the air, suddenly Emma came out from her room and meet them. They're shocked when they saw her.

" Emma! You should get your rest! " said Jesse

" I'm ok Jesse~ "

Afraid to hurt the wounded Emma, Jesse gently placed his hand to Emma's to support her, slowly they walked into the room.

" What's going on?" asked Emma.

" It's Jade and Adam, we saw them in the bed just as we passed her room. " said Shalimar with anger.

" Well, the door was opened, we took a head in it. That's what we saw. " said Jesse

" Hey~ hey! Let's make things clear! Adam has nothing to do with it ok? " said Brennan.

" Quiet. " said Charlene in a calm tone.
