Disclaimers; same as usual there not min sob sob!!
Shalimar woke up sometime after 12 [why didn't Adam wake me, I've been asleep far too long I've got work to do] She got up and quickly showered and dressed. Somebody needed to do something to find Jesse, so she had plans to sneak out of sanctuary and search for him herself. Slowly she crept out of her room. "So Adam any news on jess?" she heard Brennan ask from the labs, [no there won't be unless I do something about that]. She made her way slowly down into the garage and over to where her bike was waiting, as she started it up the engine purred at her willing her to ride. Within moments she was speeding along the road, sanctuary disappearing in the distance behind her.
"Hey easy!" Jesse couldn't tell which part of his body hurt the most. Fox had awoken Jesse early, not that he was so deeply asleep anyway, and had already started his latest assault. "Mutant X? Isn't that some kind of game?" [Guess not] he thought, as fox laid his quick backhand again across his cheek. "You will tell me who you work for, and Star isn't here to protect you now. Don't think I didn't hear her get up" Jesse sighed [Ouch, since when did sighing hurt?] Jesse remembered being woke in the night, Star had given him another glass of water and a couple of biscuits, it wasn't a meal but it helped a bit. He had stayed awake after that, listening to her creep back into bed, and heard as she cried softly. Jesse felt guilty that he could not give her any of the answers she was after, but she was hardly going the right way about it. "Tell me, I won't ask again!" Fox shouted down at Jesse. He pulled out his knife and drew it down jesses top exposing his bruised torso, [oh god no, not again, come on Adam I can't go another round with this guy and his pet knife, come on Shal, anybody please] his thoughts stopped abruptly as the white hot pain seared across his chest.
"Shal's gone," Emma shouted to Adam "She's not in her room, and her bikes gone as well" she walked into the lab and sat down on one of the med-beds. Adam pulled up a map with Shalimar's com signal on it. "Shalimar, Shalimar answer me" Adam's voice was calm but firm, he had known that her guilt would take her on a mission of her own, although he had hoped they had found Jesse before it had gotten that far. Jesse was her brother, not by blood, but their bond had been strong ever since he had first brought Jesse to the sanctuary. She had opened up her soul to him, and him to her, giving them a unique bond that neither Emma nor Brennan could hope to share.
"Yeah Adam?" her voice rang over the communications systems "Shal I want you to come back, this mission of yours is dangerous." Adam tried to convince her, but her mind was already set, "Adam I can't sit around waiting for something to come up, I need to get him back. I'll leave my com on and if things get out of hand I'll ask for back up, but I'm not coming back to sanctuary until I get some answers!" With that Adam heard the engine rev once more, and his shouts into her comm. were ignored "Brennan take the jag, don't let her know your following, just stay close enough to help," "Got it, see you guy's later" Brennan ran out of the labs and down to the garage, "What do you want me to do Adam?" Emma asked, waiting patiently as Adam typed at his computer, "I want you to try and get a hit off Jesse, but I want you to do it here in the lab, that way I can pass any info on to Shal and Brennan." Emma made herself comfortable on the bed and began to try to find Jesse.
Erica had been walking the streets since she had woken up, she had to get out of that place. Fox had made an early start and she had woken up to Jesse's cries of pain. Fox now scared her, she knew he desired answers, but he had no restraint on the punishment he was dealing out. [It's all my fault, I brought him hear. My god what I have I done? My stupid quest for answers, I need to know, but Fox gets pleasure out of torturing that poor guy. I should of let him go when I woke him, but no, what do I do? I give him a biscuit, a biscuit! What was I thinking?] She stopped and sat on a park bench, so preoccupied with her guilt that she didn't sense the feral creeping up behind her. She did, however, feel the squeeze that was suddenly applied to her throat, and hear the low growl that emanated from her attacker.
"Adam! I've found her!" Shalimar had spotted Erica across the park. She had smelt her presence and knew that she was close. Her eyes went feral as she ground the bike to a halt and made her way over to Erica, who was too preoccupied to notice her presence. She grabbed her tightly around the throat, and glancing to her left she wasn't surprised to see Brennan stepping out of the car [Damn it Adam didn't you trust me to do this alone?] "Where's Jesse? I know you have him, now your gonna tell me where he is" she growled at the woman. "Your not gonna get much out of her if she's dead Shal" Brennans words snapped Shalimar out of her rage. Erica had gone limp in her arms, she released her grip and let her fall back onto the bench. "Help me get her back to the car we'll get her back to sanctuary" said Brennan as he reached Shalimar and glanced down at the woman. Shalimar helped Brennan get Erica into the back of the jag. "I'll meet you back at sanctuary" she shouted back to him before grabbing her bike and racing off down the streets.
"Damn it! I couldn't even do that right! I could have answers right now, instead of sitting here useless on the dojo steps, I could be." Shalimar stopped her rambling and looked up at the figure approaching "Hey Shal you really worried us" Emma said as she sat herself down next to Shalimar on the steps and looked down at the floor "Did Adam tell you I got a hit off Jess?" Emma was surprised Shalimar's head didn't fall off from the speed she spun it round, she pulled her eyes up from the floor and faced her friend, "All I felt was pain Shal, he was calling out for help from us" Emma felt sick, it had been bad enough to get the emotions from Jess, but to tell them to Shal was just gut wrenching. Now it was Shalimar's turn to stare at the floor. "At least you got a hit off him. Did he know where he was? Who has him, because Erica is here?" "He didn't know where he was, but it's a guy that's hurting him, and asking questions." Shalimar stood up, she wanted answers and she wanted them now, even if she had to beat Adam back to get them. "Shalimar wait!" Emma shouted to her friend, who was running at top speed toward the lab, but Shalimar wasn't going to wait she had waited enough.
K let me know what you think, does Erica deserve a bit of a break, or is Shal too bent on answers herself to be lenient with her???? Let me know
