A/N: I'm sorry to everyone I confused with my last chapter, I thought I let everyone know that I changed when the shows aired to fit the story. So for anyone I confused I'm really sorry, Fool for Love came way before A Breed Apart.

Chapter 19

(The Park)

"Bren stop stauling and tell me what's going on and why you can't come back to Sanctuary, which is your home I might add."

"Everything is just really complicated, and I can't break your heart before Christmas."

"Break my heart, you are breaking my heart. Bren everday, hell every minute that I can't be with breaks my heart. The last three months have been brutle."

"Is that why you asked Richard to go to dinner with you and your parents? I guess the last three months have been brutle."

"I can't believe you would ever say that you know damn well that I love you more than anything." Shalimar stood up, tears in her eyes.

After realising what he had just said Brennan smacked himself mentally.

"Shal I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that it just sort of came out, these past couple months have taken their toll on me, and I don't have much energy." Brennan told her as he stood up, and gave her an apology hug.

"Brennan I missed more than anyone could ever imagine, I just wish you would tell me what's going on, and Bren you're coming to dinner with me and my parents, that is if you want to."

"Of course I want to, but what about Richard."

"Forget Richard, I only want to be with you."

"Then dinner it is. My only question is should I dress up?"

"Um, I don't know I'll ask my dad when I call him tomorrow."

"Sounds good, so I'll meet you back here tomorrow same time?"

"Nope you, and I, and Fox of course are staying here until you tell me everything, and then you are coming back to Sanctuary with me, so that I can beat Emma for not telling me." Shal told him half jokingly but more seriously as she grabbed the blanket, and spread it out on the grass.

"Fine, if you insist but I can't go back to Sanctuary." Brennan said as he picked up the second blanket that had been folded in with the first one of the ground.

Brennan and Shalimar laid down on the blanket. Shalimar laid on her side as she wanted to be able to look at Brennan. Fox crawled onto the blanket, and laid down silently by the two love birds feet.

"So where do you want to start?"

"I want to know who did this to you so I can hunt them down and kick the shit out of them."

"Are you sure you want to know."

"Yes I'm sure just tell me." Shalimar said as she held Brennan's hand.

"It was Adam, and Richard. They ordered.."

"What Adam, and Richard did this to you. No way they would never do something like this!"

"It was them."

"How do you know for sure it wasn't Eckhart that planned the whole thing?"

"I made friends with the guy in charge, and he was told about my time before Mutant X, he thought he and his team were dealing with a criminal. After we got talking, and he did some research he realised that what I told him about me cleaning up was all true. I told about you, and everything, and he was the one that helped me escape."

"But how do you know for sure it was Adam, and Richard?" Shal asked starting to tear up.

"I was in the room when Adam made the guy, Scott, a phone call, Scott put it on speaker phone because at first I didn't believe it either."

"It all makes sense now."

"What does?"

"Adam, and Richard being all buddy buddy, and Adam making Richard and I go on every mission together, it just all makes sense. Brennan what am I going to do I mean Adam has been more of a father to be then my own father I just can't handle this right now." Shalimar couldn't hold anything in any longer, and she bagan to cry.

Brennan moved closer to Shalimar, and wrapped his arms around her.

"I know sweetie but we'll get through this, me you Emma, and Jesse we'll all get through this somehow." "Brennan why would he do something like this, I mean Adam my father figure, the man I grew up loving more than anything else in this world."

"I don't know Shal, we'll just have to ask him."

"What do you mean we, I though you weren't coming back to Sanctuary, and now that I know why I can't blame you."

"I can't let you do this alone, I know you have Emma, and Jesse but I want answers. Richard obviously did it to get me out of the picture but I trusted Adam."

"So how did Emma find out, and how long as she known?" Shalimar asked as Brennan pulled the second blanket over them since Shalimar was starting to shiver.

"When I escaped Scott dropped me off at the cottage, and the next day Emma, and Jesse showed up."

"So when Emma called me you were sitting right there?"

"Yeah me, and Jesse had been arguing over which couple was sappier, us or them, and Emma put the speaker phone on to shut us up."

"So the both of them knew and never told me. Let me guess you didn't want them too."

"Actually it was Emma's plan, we knew we couldn't just walk into Sanctuary."

"Yeah I don't think that would have been smart."

"Well you better get going before Adam sends Richard out to find you."

"I thought you were coming with me?"

"I have to bring Fox back to my place, and then I'll head back to Sanctuary."

"Okay that'll give me time to talk with Emma, and Jesse. I might have a little chat with Adam while I'm at it."

"Alright I'll see you soon then" Brennan said as he stood up, and then helped Shal.

Shalimar gave Brennan a hug, and then pulled away a little. Brennan leaned down, and planted a kiss on Shal's lips. When he pulled away Shalimar was reluctant to let him go.

"My bikes over in the parking lot. You gonna walk me over there like a gentlemen?"

"I thought you told me to stop acting like a getlemen when I was around you?"

"No I told you to stop acting like a gentlemen all the time, not stop acting like one completely." Shal said as she kissed him one more time before turning around.

Brennan just stood there for a moment watching the gorgeous feral walk away happy that everything was out in the open, or least was about to be. Fox barked, and ran towards Shal causing Brennan to run after him.

Shalimar heard Fox bark, and so she turned around to find the dog running straight for her.

"Hey there, I don't think we've actualy met." Shalimar said to Fox as she bent over and started to pet him.

"I thought I put your leash on you." Brennan told the dog, as he caught up to him, and put his leash on.

"Bren where did you get a dog?" Shal asked as Brennan walked up to her side and put his free arm around her waist.

"Adam thought it would be nice for me to have some company."

"Oh I see, so how is the adorably guy?"

"He'll be four months a little bit on Christmas day."

"Hey Bren I though you weren't going ot walk me back to my bike."

"Well it's been a long three months without you so I'm not gonna let another moment pass us by."

"Your car is parked in the parking lot isn't it? But what you said was real sweet."

"I try, and yeah."

Brennan and Shalimar walk over to the parking lot, and Brennan gave Shal, and kiss before she put on her helmet.

"Bren where's your car?"

"Uh, right there." Brennan replied pointing to the Navigator.

"That's yours, damn I really know how to pick."

"Yes you do now go before I grab you and never let you go."

"Fine I'll go but that doesn't sound so bad." Shalimar put on her helmet and pealed out of the parking lot, and headed back towards Sanctuary to deal with Adam, and Richard.

(Sanctuary)

Shalimar walked into Sanctuary and headed straight for the rec room. When she got there everyone except Adam was watching t.v.

"Hey guys what's up?" Shalimar asked acting all happy happy.

"Nothing much just watching some t.v." Richard answered moving over so Shal could sit down on the couch.

Shalimar reluctantly sat down on the couch next Richard. He put his arm around her, and she acted as though it didn't bother her when it really did. The only thing she wanted to do with him was kill him, painfully as Brennan watched.

Emma could sense that Shalimar was not very ahppy at all so she decided to step in before someone, Richard, got his ass kicked even though she would love to see that happen for what he a part in doing to her 'brother'.

"I'm so bored, and there is absolutely nothing to do." Emma said breaking the uneasy silence in the rec room.

"Watch t.v like the rest of us then." Jesse responded to his girlfriend keeping his attention fixed to the television.

"Alright fine then Kilmartin you watch your t.v, and I'll go leave you alone." Emma told Jesse as she got up, and headed for the door. When she passed Shalimar she nodded her head towards the door.

"Hold up Em, I'm coming with ya." Shalimar tried to get up but Richard pulled her back slightly to give her a kiss on the cheek.

"Girls." Richard, and Jesse said in unison as the girls left the room.

"We heard that." They called back.

Emma and Shalimar walked passed the lab where they seen Adam working away.

"So you wanna talk?" Emma asked her best friend as they continued to walk towards the bedrooms.

"I figured that's what you wanted to do."

"So Brennan's room?"

"Yeah I guess I better clean it up a little." The two females of Mutant X turned the corner, and Shalimar opened the door to Brennan's room. She stopped dead in her tracks.

"Shal what's." Emma stopped mid sentence as she seen why Shalimar had stopped.

There were boxes everywhere, nothing had been put in them yet but that didn't stop Shalimar from almost running to the lab. Emma ran after her however it wasn't to stop her but to get in on whatever Shalimar was going to do or say to Adam.

(Lab)

Adam was working away when the phone rang.

"Hello."

"Hi Adam it's Scott."

"Scott it's nice to hear from you but what's the matter?" Adam asked hearing the uneasy tone in Scott's voice.

"It's Mulwray we can't find him anywhere."

"What do you mean you can't find him." Adam almost yelled.

Shalimar would have busted down the lab doors but when she heard Adam on the phone sounding very nervous. Emma kind of looked at Shalimar weirdly as seen her come to a stop outside the lab doors.

"Shal why did you stop let's go in there and kick his ass."

"He's on the phone talking about a missing person."

"Brennan?"

"Possibly." Shalimar continued to use her feral hearing to figure out what Adam was talking about.

"He's very nervous right now." Emma told Shalimar.

(Inside the lab)

"You're sure he's gone?"

"Positive sir we've checked everywhere he might possibly be."

"Including the cottage?"

"Yes he wasn't there, however someone had been there."

"It was two of my other team team members. At any rate I want him found."

"I have everyone searching for him."

"So who do you want found Adam, Brennan." Shalimar said pissed off as she walked into the lab.

Startled Adam turned around, and was confronted by one pissed off psionic and a very pissed off feral.

"Shalimar, Emma what's going on?"

"Why don't you tell us Adam." Emma spoke seeing as though the only thing Shalimar wanted to do was tear Adam's head off. Adam on the other hand was speechless.

"Got nothing to say Adam, well then let me fill you in. I know, we all do about you, and Richards plan. How could you Adam, I trusted you, we all did, and even after Naxcon when you said that you were going to be upfront with us. You didn't have to kidnap him, and put me, us through hell."

"How did you find out?"

"When Jesse and I went to Alaska last week we found a beaten up Brennan. You under estimated him Adam, you should better than anyone that he would do anything, and everything in his power to come back here."

"Look there is an expanation for all of this."

Jesse, and Richard had heard the commotoin in the lab, and were now on their way there. When they reached the lab they seen Adam looking pretty damn nervous.

//I guess Shal finally found out. This is going to be fun to watch.//

Noting that Jesse, and Richard had walked into the lab Shalimar couldn't control herself any longer.

"I'll deal with you later!" Shalimar screamed at Adam. "You, you god damn son of a bitch. You just can't take no for an answer." Shalimar yelled at Richard making him back up as she continued to walk his way.

"What are you talking about?"

"You know full well what I'm talking about."

"I won't fight you Shal, I love you." Richard pleaded.

"Thing is Richard I don't love you, I love Brennan nothing will ever change that."

The two feral were now in the main area of Sanctuary with the remaining members of Mutant X watching from the lab.

Shalimar jumped on Richard, tackeling him to the ground. He tried to defend himself but it was senseless. Shalimar kept smaking him back and forth across his face.

"Jesse go stop her before she kills him."

"No Emma he deserves this."

Adam was standing in the back of the lab not able to watch the seen infront of him.

//What have I done, they'll never forgive me.//

"Adam we have to stop Shalimar before she kills him, he deserves to be punished but not killed."

"What do you purpose we do Emma, her feral side is in control right now."

"We can't just stand here and let her kill him, she'd never forgive herself for that even if she does hate him."

"Hold on I have an idea." Jesse said wanting to help now for Shalimar's sake.
