Chapter Three: Back and Forth

Meanwhile at Sanctuary:

"Adam, I told you I don't know where they went!" Emma lied. "Alright." Adam said trying to calm himself down. Emma looked at the floor and hoped she was doing the right thing. Adam thought to himself or a while before walking out of the lab.

"You ok?" Jesse asked once Adam was gone. "Yeah." Emma said, faking a smile. "I'm just a little worried about Shal and Brennan." She said avoiding eye contact.

Jesse smiled a little and laughed. "I know you're not telling the truth." Jesse told her. "Wh-what do you mean? Of course I'm telling the truth!" Emma protested. "I'm not sure if Adam believes you," Jesse continued. "But I don't." Emma sighed and said nothing.

"I won't tell Adam." Jesse promised. "But, do you know where Brennan and Shalimar went?" Emma was silent for a moment. She chewed her lower lip and slowly nodded her head. "Please don't tell him." Emma pleaded. "I won't." the molecular replied. "So, where did they go?"

"Dr. Palance's house." Emma answered. "I told Brennan I got a hit off Bill. I shouldn't have told him that." Emma mentally kicked herself. "It's not your fault." Jesse said trying to comfort Emma. "Brennan went after him on his own. He should know by now not to do that." Jesse paused for a second. "Besides, if anything happens to them, they can just let us know." Jesse finished with a small smile.

"And how will they do that Jesse?" Emma asked remembering how they both deactivated their comm. links. "Just because they took them off, doesn't mean they don't still have them." Jesse explained.

"Well I have a feeling they don't still have them." Emma said concerned. "Come on." Jesse said sticking out a hand to help Emma up. "Let's go see if their comms are in the garage." Emma took his hand as he led her to the garage.

Dr. Palance's house:

"We should get you to a hospital." Bill suggested looking at Brennan. "No." Brennan replied while getting help up by Shalimar. "We can't do that." Brennan said sitting down in a chair.

Bill looked at his younger friend questionably. "We don't have insurance, and we couldn't afford it." Brennan said looking at Dr. Palance while Shalimar put his feet up. "We'll just drive back to Sanctuary." Brennan said.

"That takes way too long!" Shalimar protested. "Shal! We don't have any other choice." Brennan said truthfully. Shalimar was quiet for a second before agreeing. "Fine. But I'm driving." Brennan smiled. "Let's go then."

"Wait." Shalimar said looking around. "Oh no." "What?" Brennan asked, not sure what the feral was upset about. "They're gone." Brennan was confused at first, but looking beyond Shalimar, he saw that the assassins we no longer there. "Good, they left." Brennan said relieved.

"Oh no they didn't." Shalimar said, her eyes flashing yellow. 'Great.' Brennan thought. 'This should be fun.' "Bill." Shalimar whispered. "Get over here." Obeying Shalimar, Dr. Palance rushed over to where the two mutants were and stood behind Shalimar.

"Shal, let's just get out of here." Brennan suggested. "No way Brennan. I'm getting them back." Shalimar argued running out of the kitchen. "Shal!" Brennan called after her, but she was already gone.

Sanctuary:

"Adam." Jesse called into his ring. "We found both of their comms." Adam didn't reply at first. "Adam?" Jesse called wondering if their leader heard him. "Ok Jesse." Adam answered. "Emma you there?" Emma heard her ring say.

"Yeah Adam, what is it?" Emma asked looking at Jesse. "I want you to see if you can connect to them telempathically. Maybe we'll be able to find out where they went." Emma smiled and replied, "Sure Adam, I'll see what I can do." Once the connection was dropped Emma and Jesse started laughing simultaneously.

"What are you going to tell him?" Jesse asked, walking Emma to her room. "I'm not sure yet." Emma said. "Hopefully they'll be back before I have to make up something." Jesse laughed and followed Emma into her room.

"You want to watch a movie?" Emma asked shutting her bedroom door. "Sure." Jesse said. "You don't think Adam will find out?" He asked as Emma set up the movie. "Probably not." Emma said.

"He knows it can take a while when I'm meditating. If he gets suspicious, I'll hide you, and pretend I've been meditating all along." Emma laughed. Jesse agreed and the started the movie.

Dr. Palance's house:

"I took care of them." Shalimar said return a few minutes later. Brennan laughed thankful she didn't get hurt. "They're all tied to chairs in your room." Shalimar explained to Bill. "The police are on their way. Now is a good time to leave." The feral suggested.

The two guys agreed and Shalimar gave Bill the keys to start the car. "Careful." Shalimar said helping Brennan up. "Are you my crutch?" Brennan asked with a smirk. Shalimar smiled. "Only until we get to Sanctuary." She said. "Aww." Brennan complained. Shalimar laughed, giving Brennan a soft kiss. "Let's go."

Shalimar helped Brennan to the car and laid him out in the back seats. Bill sat in the passenger seat and Shalimar, of course, drove. Once everyone was in, Shalimar put the car in reverse and backed out of the driveway.
