Well I'm back with the chapter 4. So sorry it took so long but school kept
getting in the way. This chapter is more of a lead up to the next one,
which I'm hoping will be done really soon. Please keep those reviews coming
even if you don't like it let me.
Chapter 4
(Alaska - Cottage - Next Time)
Brennan had woken up early by Shalimar who was tossing and turning because of a nightmare. So he got up, and decided to make some breakfast.
(Half Hour)
Shalimar rolled over only to find that Brennan wasn't there. So Shal got up and walked out into the living room. She saw Brennan in the kitchen eating while watching a movie. Shalimar walked up behind Brennan who was sitting on a stool. She placed her arms on Brennan's shoulders and placed a good morning kiss on his cheek. Brennan turned around and Shalimar sat on his lap.
"Good morning to you to." Brennan said as he kissed Shalimar back.
"You're up early. Why?"
"What I'm not allowed to get up early?"
"Bren you're never up early, at least not when you don't have to be."
"You were tossing and turning, it kind of woke me up." Brennan told Shal knowing she would never let him getting up early go.
"Oh sorry." Shalimar apologized.
"It's no problem."
Just as Shalimar got up to get a drink the phone rang.
"Hello"
"Shalimar it's Adam."
"No duh!" Shalimar said letting Adam know that she had just gotten up.
"What's with the attitude?" Adam asked not knowing why Shalimar always talked to him like that in the morning, but was fine with everybody else, especially Brennan.
"I just woke up, and you always annoy me in the morning."
"We'll you're fine with Brennan, doesn't he annoy you?" This was the first time Shalimar had ever heard Adam say anything like that to her and in that manner but she sure as hell didn't like it and wouldn't take it.
"That's because he knows to just leave me be in the morning. So why did you call?" Shalimar asked getting tired of the conversation they were having. She was also ticked off that Adam had brought Brennan into the middle of it. How she was with her boyfriend was her business and Adam should be happy for her, and she though that he was.
"I just wanted to let you know that I'm sending the information that you will need to get started today." Adam said bluntly.
"Thanks we'll get started as soon as possible."
"Call if anything happens, Jessse, and Emma will be here if you need them. They'll be tracking you and Brennan from here so make sure you're comm rings are on.
"Okay will do. So you have a meeting or something?" Shalimar asked nicer not being able to stay mad at Adam for very long.
Glad to hear his "daughter" talk to him like she normally did he answered calmly.
"Actually yes I do with a friend of mine."
"Friend huh, sounds like you're trying to hide something from me."
"Never! Now get to work so you can get back here sooner."
"Alright. Later Adam." Shalimar said as she hung up the phone as Brennan came out of the bedroom fully dressed.
"Adam said he's sending us the info we need for today so that we can get it over and done with then maybe go check out the town."
"It's a date." Brennan said as he hugged Shalimar.
(Later that day)
Shalimar and Brennan were going over what Adam had sent them while sitting in front of the fireplace all cuddled up, drinking hot chocolate. The laptop was on Shal's lap who was leaning against Brennan.
"Brennan do you notice anything off with what we're supposed to find out today?" Shal asked checking to see if Brennan had noticed something that she found weird or if he just overlooked it.
"No why?" We're just supposed to make sure that these are the co-ordinates of Echardt's base."
"Key word there Bren, we. It only says for you to go, and I've read it over a couple of times."
"It's probably just mistake, I'll call Jess, and Emma and to make sure."
"No, you go get ready to go and I'll call just in case it's not a mistake."
"Are you sure cause I can do it."
"Bren I'm sure now go get changed."
So Brennan went and got ready. A quick shower, some warmer clothes, and he was done. Shalimar had called Sanctuary only to find that there was no mistake and that Brennan was going alone.
"So did you find out what's going on?" Brennan asked Shalimar has he walked into the kitchen.
"Yeah, it was no mistake you're going alone." Shalimar told him having a really bad feeling for some reason.
"Oh, well everything will be fine. It's not like I've never done anything on my own before." Brennan said trying to reassure Shal after he seen her worried look come upon her face.
"I know it's just that I have a bad feeling I'm not sure why, I just do."
"Shal, sweetie everything will be fine. I'll go then meet you in town at that café we see when we flew in."
"Bren I still don't know I mean something's not right. Why wouldn't I be going with you since Jesse, and Emma are tracking everything from Snactuary. I don't get why I have to track you from here."
"I don't maybe just incase the satellite goes down because of a storm, and to answer your next question, you're staying because you're better at tracking being feral and all in case a storm closes in but just relax because nothing is going to happen, and the weather is fine. I checked the weather channel in the when you were on the phone and there are no chances of a storm." Brennan answered Shal before she even asked the question.
"One, you know me too well, and two be careful."
"I'll keep in touch via our comm rings, and Shal,"
"Yeah."
"I love you."
"I love you too, I mean it be careful it is Echardt we're talking about here." Shalimar was reluctant to let him get off so easy but knew it wasn't his fault that. She also knew something was going on but didn't know what.
"So meet you I'll meet you at the café. I'll take the Durango if that's okay with you."
"Whatever is fine with me, I like the sound system in the Aztec anyway." Brennan kissed Shalimar goodbye as he walked out to the Aztec. When he got in he turned on the tracking system, and made sure Jesse, Emma, and Shalimar could hear him.
(Sanctuary)
"Jess do you find it weird that Brennan is going alone?"
"Not really, I mean he's only checking to see if those are those are the right co-ordinates. He'll drive up check, and then go back to the cabin, it's nothing to worry about. You, and Shal just need to chill out a little. Brennan's a big boy that can handle himself, plus he's a good driver, and can handle the weather and terrain."
"I hope you're right, I mean I have the exact same feeling Shal does."
"Em everything will be fine." Jesse pulled Emma into a hug, and kissed her forehead.
(Alaska)
"Brennan you there?" Shal asked.
"Yup."
"I know I already told you but be careful cause I want you home tonight to keep me warm like you promised."
"We'll I would never miss out on a chance to hold you close to me so consider it done." Brennan said as he turned on the cd player, and relaxed as he drove. His only thoughts were of him, and Shal all cuddled up, and cozy with not a care in the world. Those thoughts helped him to relax because even though he wouldn't admit it he felt the same way Shal did but he drove none the less.
Once again I'm so sorry for the late update but I'm trying my hardest to finish the next chapter so I can post sooner than I posted this one. Remember to review, all comments are welcome even if you didn't like it.
