A/N: Please do not expect much from this chapter it is a whole bunch of talking and not very long. Next chapter will have a lot more action.

"What did you say?" Zeke asks in an almost threatening tone.

"What is the Genesis Prophets?" Shalimar asks again.

"Where did you find out about them?" Zeke places his hands in front of him on the table.

"I asked my question first," Shalimar says firmly.

"If you answer mine I will consider answering yours."

"Emma said something about Genesis Prophets to me before she died. When I asked her what it was she only said safety."

"Genesis Prophets is a place for psionics that's all I can tell you."

"Why? Other wise you'll have to kill me?"

Zeke takes a moment to pretend he's considering, "Something like that," he says.

"We'll mister you shouldn't be one to be acting all high and mighty right now," Shal says.

Zeke senses the emotion behind her last remark has more to do with the wise crack he made. "And what is that supposed to mean?" Zeke asks, knowing an interrogation is about to start.

"I have all my memories back about Emma and not once do I remember her ever mentioning you."

Zeke smiles and shakes his head. "Emma never mentioned our friendship to anyone. I was the mysterious person she was talking about every time she said 'my friend once told me…'."

"Emma trusted you enough to tell you the security codes and location to Sanctuary?"

"I've known her since she was eight. We trust each other with everything."

"Then how can you be so calm when she is being tortured by her own biological father?" Shalimar's voice is near panic.     

Zeke stands up fast and closes the distance between them with two large strides. Shalimar's body is engulfed in Zeke's when he hugs her. Shalimar's body convulses with a sob. Zeke puts his hand through her long blonde hair and lets her cry. After a few minutes Zeke pulls Shalimar away and looks at her face. Shalimar can't quite make eye contact with him.

"Shalimar we can only control so much. Right now we are going to have no control over what is going to happen to Emma until everybody is well rested. If we try to figure everything out right now we wouldn't be going into battle well rested and healthy."

"I just want her safe back here with us," Shal cries.

"I know you do precious. Tomorrow we will spend the whole day making a plan, and if we are lucky enough we can execute it by night fall."

Shalimar shakes her head, "I can't sleep knowing she is hurting."

"I can help you sleep if you like," Zeke offers.

Shalimar looks down at her hands. She just realizes she has smushed the apple in her hand to the point of no recognition. Shalimar throws the apple in the trash. Shalimar looks up at Zeke and hesitantly accepts his offer. Shalimar feels a soft tingling in her ear then comfort then she sees nothing but darkness.

            Zeke carries Shalimar as far as the hallway, but then realizes he doesn't know which room is hers.

"First one to your left," A voice informs him.

Zeke doesn't have to turn around to know it is Brennan.

"Thank you," Zeke says without looking behind him. Zeke enters Shalimar's room accompanied by Brennan. Zeke puts Shal down and Brennan tucks her in.

"She's been really upset the last four days," Brennan says to Zeke while looking at Shalimar.

"And your confident I had a major role in that," Zeke says.

"Took the words right out of my mouth," Brennan claims.

Zeke motions with his head for Brennan to follow him outside. Brennan does so. Both men sit in the living room on separate chairs so they can see each others' faces.

"What do you want from me Brennan?" Zeke asks, leaning forward and resting his arms on his knees.

"I just want to know; Know how you got into Sanctuary, what's your relationship with Shalimar, and why you call her 'precious' all the time."

Zeke smiles at the last sentence. "Emma gave me the codes for Sanctuary. I've only talked to Shalimar for two days. She and I are the only ones who truly believe Emma exists. That's why she's been closer to me this whole day. All of that is going to change tomorrow after we get Emma back to safety. I call her precious because I have four daughters at home; I haven't been able to shake the habit yet."

"Is there any way to prove to me that Emma ever existed?" Brennan asks with no confidence in his voice.

"I thought you would start to believe me about now. Haven't you ever questioned why you are here? Or how come you'll begin to have a certain memory and it won't finish? Why there are spiders in one room of Sanctuary, but nowhere else?"

Brennan frowns when he realizes Zeke is right. "Do you have any concrete evidence?" Brennan asks

Zeke's forehead wrinkles with concentration. He looks to his side and sees a picture of Adam and Emma together in front of a bridge. Zeke picks up the picture and hands it to Brennan.

"Who is in that picture with Adam?" Zeke asks.

"It's me," Brennan says.

Brennan is discontent with the fact he can't remember being at that bridge with Adam.

"In the morning ask Jesse who is in the picture," Zeke says with no further explanation.

Brennan looks lost in thought for a moment. "Zeke, assuming Emma really is part of Mutant X and we can successfully rescue her. How long will it take for us to remember her?"

"If she is alive the second you touch her all the memories will be back as if they were never gone."

Brennan doesn't like the thought of a young woman dying by the hands of her own father. He holds the picture Zeke gave him with both of his hands and moves it side to side.

"Do you have a picture of your daughters?" Brennan asks, wanting to change subjects.

Zeke finds his wallet on top of a table. He reaches into it and pulls out a wallet sized photo. Zeke hands the photo to Brennan.

"Strong family resemblance," Brennan says sarcastically.

Zeke chuckles softly to himself. The four girls in the picture were not of the same nationality as him.

"The two Latina girls are my step-sister's children. My wife and I adopted them after she died in a plane crash. The Korean one was abandoned on the island and the Caucasian one I'm taking care of until her mother gets better."

Brennan looks at the girls and smiles a little.

"Is your wife with them right now?" Brennan asks.

"No, their mother left one day and has yet to return." Zeke says, masking his hurt.

"I'm sorry to hear about that," Brennan says sincerely.

Zeke smiles softly, "They're with their grandma right now. I have to leave tomorrow at midnight and return to them." Zeke informs.

"I understand," Brennan says, taking one last look at the picture before returning it to Zeke.

Zeke gets up from the couch and pats Brennan's shoulder. "We should get some sleep," Zeke suggests and leaves for his room.

Brennan nods his head to himself and turns off the light.
