Once again thanks for all the reviews, and I'm really sorry it took me so long to update but I've been really busy. Well here here's the next chapter. Don't forget to review.

Chapter 6

(Alaska)

"Jesse, Emma you guys try, and get a hold of Adam, and Richard, and me will see if we can find Brennan's signal. If we can't then we'll drive out to route he took." Shalimar was back in action. She didn't know what she would do to herself if Brennan wasn't okay. After all she should have been paying attention to him not Richard.

"We're on it, and be careful Shal." Emma said knowing not to argue with Shalimar when she was like this.

Jesse, and Emma moved on to finding Adam, and Shalimar headed for the door of the cottage.

"Shalimar wait, we can't drive out into the middle of no where right now." Richard stated as he grabbed Shalimar's arm.

"Really why's that?" Shal asked as she pulled away from Richard. She was more than a little pissed off.

"For several reasons. The first being it's late, and dark out. The second being that it's storming bad outside, and third you're dead tired, and can barely stay awake."

"So I'm the just supposed to stay here, and wait while the man I love is out there somewhere waiting for me!"

"Look I'm not saying we don't go after him but with the snow, and it being dark we won't be able to find anything anyway. So take the time, and rest."

"No I can't," and Shalimar walked out the door.

//Maybe this isn't the right thing to do. No she was mine first, and he deserves whatever he gets.// Richard thought as he ran out after Shalimar.

"Shalimar please just think rationally for a minute, we both know that even being feral won't help us find Brennan right now."

Shalimar couldn't handle anymore. She fell to the ground in front of the cottage. Richard rushed to her side, and let her cry into his chest. He then helped her up, and the two walked back inside.

Shalimar sat down on the couch still crying, and shivering. Richard started the fireplace the sat down next to Shal.

"Hey we'll find him." Richard soothed.

"It's not that, I know we'll find him."

"Then what is it?"

"It's my fault he's gone. I let him down, and I don't know if he'll ever forgive me."

"He'd be a fool not to."

"Thing is I wouldn't blame him if he didn't. He is one of the most important people in my life; he's like he glue that keeps me together. I just love him so much, and I know you probably don't want to that but it's truth."

"Then why are to crying?"

"Richard I don't want to be alone. If he doesn't forgive me he'll leave Sanctuary. I have no doubt in my mind about that."

"No you won't you still have Adam, Jesse, and Emma."

"That's not what I mean, and you know it." Shalimar said has she finally regained her composure.

"Hey look at me." Richard lifted Shal's face so that she was looking him straight in the eye. You'll always have me no matter what."

Shalimar was tired, and couldn't take anymore today. She got up, and went to the bedroom. She was dizzy, and could barely walk so Richard helped down the hall. He tucked her into bed, and went to walk away. Before he could Shalimar grabbed his arm so Richard turned around.

"Thank you."

"Anytime, now get some sleep. I'll be back in the morning."

"Richard?"

"Yeah."

"Stay here, you can sleep in the guest room then we can leave earlier."

"Umm, yeah okay if that's what you want."

"It is."

"Okay, see you in the morning, goodnight."

"Night." Shal responded as Richard walked out of the room.

(Somewhere in Alaska)

Brennan woke up in a comfortable bed, which surprised him. He tried to get up but his head hurt like hell, so he just lied back down.

//Where the hell am I.// Brennan wondered as some guy entered the room.

"How's your head?"

"Fine. Now where the hell am I." Brennan said as he tried to get up.

"Don't even think about using your powers Sparky, you have on a sub dermal governor. I can't tell you are but I can tell you that you'll be here for awhile."

"Who are you working for? Echardt?"

"No! Someone else but I can't say who. You're free to walked around the house it's yours for the next while but you even think about leaving the property, and the guards won't be as nice as I am."

Before the guy left he said a few last words. "There's Advil in the washroom cabinet for your head, and don't forget to feed the puppy. You can name him, he's yours so at least you'll have some company. I must go now, got work to do."

Brennan was more than pissed. He needed a way out, and fast. When he out of the bedroom he was amazed, the place was huge. Just then a little husky puppy ran up to his feet.

"We'll aren't you just adorable. I guess I should name you huh?" Brennan said a loud, as he picked up the puppy.

"Shal would just love you. God, Shal I miss her so much. I know she'll come for me, for us." Brennan didn't doubt for a second that Shalimar, and the rest of the team.

Brennan sat down in the massive living room with the puppy on his lap.

"I have no idea what to name little buddy." Brennan said as he sat the puppy down and walked into the washroom to get an Advil. The puppy followed him wanting to play.

"I'm thinking about it, don't rush me. You do want a good name don't you?" // I can't believe this I'm talking to a dog. Oh well at least he's a cute dog.//

Well I have an idea of what to name the puppy but if someone has an idea let me no in a review, and if I like it then I'll use it. Also if anyone has a Bren/Shal website or just a mutant x one I'd love to know, so let me know in a review, or in an e-mail. Thanks. Now go press that little review button down there.
