Sorry for the wait, with school and volleyball I just haven't had time. Hopefully I'll get one more chapter up this weekend, but I can't promise anything. Well I've kept you waiting long enough. I also just wanted to say thanks for the puppy names they we are great, and pretty much close to what I had in mind. Enjoy.

Chapter 7

(Alaska - Cottage - Next morning)

Shalimar woke up, and last night dawned on her instantly. She got up, and took a quick shower. When she walked into the living room, after getting dressed, and drying her hair, she seen Richard watching television, while drinking his morning coffee.

"Morning Shalimar." Richard said as he sensed her presence behind him.

"Morning I didn't wake you up with the shower did I?"

"Nope I was before you. Oh Shal before I forget Jesse called, and said that they haven't been able to get a hold of Adam yet."

"Alright, get ready to go as it has stopped snowing, and I'll call Jesse, and Emma to see if anything has changed."

"Sure, give me ten minutes."

Shalimar called Jesse, and Emma to see what was going on with Adam, and let them know that she and Richard were going out looking for any clues that might lead them to Brennan.

"Hey Shal, how you holding up?" Emma asked.

"Okay so far but I don't think that this whole situation has set in yet."

"We all just have to stay positive, I mean it's Brennan he's a fighter."

"I know that's what's keeping me calm right now. Anyway enough about me. Have you been able to get in touch with Adam yet?"

"Not yet, he's in a meeting and we can't get through."

"Okay, well keep me posted. Richard and I are going to go see if we can find any leads as to who took Brennan."

"Good luck Shal."

"Yeah you too."

(Somewhere in Alaska)

Brennan couldn't think about anyone but Shalimar. He thought about her so much that he still hadn't named his new puppy.

"I just don't know what to name you little guy. All I can think about is Shalimar."

At the sound of Shalimar's name the puppy gave a little bark, and wagged his cute little tail.

"Yup, she is amazing. There is no one else in this world more beautiful than her. Her name says it all, Fox." After a moment Brennan had the perfect name for the puppy.

"That's it, your name can be Fox."

(Alaska - En route)

Shalimar was driving, and Richard was looking for anything that seemed out of place.

"Do you see anything?"

"Nope, nothing."

"Wait look over there to the left."

"What is it Shal."

"It's the Aztec."

"That's what Brennan was driving?"

"Yeah. Hey Jesse, Emma come in."

"I'm here Shal what's up?" Jesse answered.

"We found the Aztec. Have you been able to contact Adam yet?"

"Good job, but no word from Adam yet, sorry."

"Okay, keep on it Jesse, we'll check out the Aztec."

So Richard and Shalimar got out, and checked around the Aztec. Inside the Aztec Shalimar found nothing that would help them out. She however did find Brennan's comm ring. She quickly picked it up, and put it safely in her pocket.

"Did you find anything Shalimar?"

"No nothing, whoever is behind this knew what they were doing."

"Why don't we head back to the cottage then and regroup. You know come up with a new plan."

"I don't know, something doesn't feel right."

"You're just worried Shal, let's get you some food you didn't eat we'll come back later."

"Fine, you drive the Durango, and drive back the Aztec."

"Okay." Richard replied happy that Shalimar had agreed to go back to town with him. He needed to call Adam, and tell him what was going on.

(In the Aztec)

"Richard follow me back to the cottage," Shal said over her comm ring.

"Actually I was thinking we go into town and get a bite to eat first."

"You can if you want to but 'm not really all that hungry."

"No, it's okay then but you have to eat when we get back to the cottage then."

"That's fine, let's just go." Shalimar broke the connection, and turned on the cd player."

//What was Brennan listening to.// Shal thought as she turned up the music.

// Oh my god I love this song, you finally found that right guy. Everything about him is perfect, and what did you do, you turned your back on him, and now he's gone.//

(In the Durango)

"Hello, Richard is that you?"

"Yeah Adam it's me."

"What's wrong, how are things going."

"Things are going okay but Shalimar has put a wall up around, it's all business, no play she won't even go out to eat with me. She does love him Adam, and I'm beginning to think that even if she doesn't find him that she will never give her heart to someone else, especially not me."

"I know her well Richard, and she will move on with time, just be patient with her. She moved on after you didn't she?"

"Yeah I suppose you're right."

"Of course I am. Any how I'm going to activate my comm ring, and I'm sure Emma, and Jesse will get a hold of me instantly. We I get back to Sanctuary I'll call the cottage, and insist that Shalimar comes back."

"I don't think she'll leave Adam."

"Let me handle that you just give her a shoulder to cry n, ad a helping hand."

"Okay I'll call you when I find out more."

"Goodbye."
