Emma ran through the door and went to Brennan's side. "Are you alright?" she asked.
"I'm fine," Brennan replied, as he stood up," but it looks like I need a new shirt." He had a big hole in his shirt and some small burns on his chest.
"I'll get the first aid kit and another shirt," said Emma. She left the room and quickly came back. She put antibiotics on Brennan's burns and handed him a new shirt."
"Thanks," said Brennan as he put on his new shirt.
"Wait a minute, how do you know each other?" Jesse asked.
"Aurora's my sister," Brennan responded.
"Half sister. I'm his half sister, Aurora Mulwray: same father; different mothers," Aurora pointed out. "And I don't know how those two creeps who followed me even found that out," said Aurora. "His mother married our dad and had Brennan, then years later got divorced and my mom married him and had me. When our father died, my mother took me and moved to Las Angeles. Brennan's mother took him and they stayed in San Francisco. My mother died soon after and went to live with friend in LA. We hadn't seen each other since, at least until a few years ago when I was in high school."
Why did she throw that fireball at Brennan? Jesse thought.
Aurora read his mind and answered," Jesse, the reason I threw that fireball at Brennan is because the last time I ran into my dear old brother, he tried to use me to steal my friend Gabriel's expensive car and almost got him seriously hurt. And that's not all. The other reason why he got hurt was because when Gabe and I tried to get his car back from Brennan, we ran in on a fight between Brennan and a gang who he apparently owed a lot of money to. It wasn't pretty. Afterwards, I went with Gabriel to the hospital and Brennan took off."
"Wait a minute," Jesse started. "How did you know what I was thinking?"
"Jesse, not only can Aurora throw fireballs, but she's a Telepath," Brennan explained.
"That's right, I can read minds," Aurora said.
Jesse turned his head to face Brennan. "Wait, since she can read minds, how come she didn't know you were using her?" Jesse asked.
"Because I didn't try to read his mind. I don't read the minds of my friends or people I trust. I was foolish enough to trust him."
Did she hear me when I said she was attractive? Jesse thought.
Aurora giggled and then said, "Yep, I did." Aurora smiled at Jesse. "By the way, I'll take that as a compliment."
Jesse and Emma stared at Brennan. "Guys, I've told you that I've done some terrible things in my past. That happens to be one of them. I'm not proud of what I did and I'm sorry Aurora for what I put you through. I'm really sorry," Brennan said to his sister.
"Whatever Brennan, I don't give a crap anymore. I'm just here because those dudes in suits were after me and I don't know why."
"And if you sit down I'll try to explain that," said Adam as he walked in the door with Shalimar a few inches behind him.
