Jesse stood up faintly. It was now or never. His next treatment would be soon. He had already had four too many. At least that was how many he thought he had received. It could have been tree, or five, but the whole experience was turning into one big nightmare. He looked around weakly, and decided where the best place to escape through would be. He knew that this area was totally sealed off, and no one without the pass code would gain access. He had to get out of it, and back to Adam. He turned his head to the pale wall where he thought would be best and he stumbled towards it. He reached to lean on the wall in order to phase him self in a stable position. Suddenly there was a sound opposite him. He staggered back to the reclining chair in the middle and sat on it, as Sophie entered, looking assertively around.
"The professor will come in a minute, you've got to get ready. How do you feel."
"Dizzy," Jesse replied looking searchingly at the girl. "You know, however much you may be liking this stuff, it isn't doing wonders for me."
Sophie frowned, "I know, well, they don't have the same effect on different mutations, but he said the result will be positive, don't worry."
"Which will be what-?" Jesse asked suggestively.
She smiled, "However, he can only see this as a positive side of the treatment, at least you aren't trying to escape."
Jesse smiled grimly.
She shook her head, walked towards him and patted him on the shoulder. "My treatment is just about complete. Then see what I can do." Her smile was slightly overrated and Jesse shrunk back at the distant look on her face. When was she going to leave? He had to get out. As soon as she left.
He pressed his hand desperately against the wall and exhaled. He ghosted and he stepped stumbling through the hard wall. He stumbled and crouched at the other side. He groaned at the pain in his head. He had to get out. He pulled himself together, and faltered on.

"Ok, we'll split up." Adam looked at his reduced team. They were standing in various positions around him. Shalimar had an eager and strained look on her face.
"I suggest that Brennan," Shalimar glared at Adam, "And Shal," Adam added hastily, 'Go in the front, Emma and I will go around the back. Keep your actions updated. If you find anything, anything whatsoever, contact me." They all nodded in affirmation. Brennan sauntered towards the door, then realized that a run would be a better pace as Shal leapt before him. They entered the building, as Emma and Adam worked their way to the back of the large building.
"I can sense him Adam," Emma said, her eyes half closed. "He's close."
"Comon then," he said peering around the corner warily before making it his route.
"Brennan, Shal, anything?" He asked the two over his comlink.
"Nope, not yet," Brennan answered. They glanced around the damp room, with water dripping onto the floor, making puddles in various spots. Shalimar turned her eyes feral and back again, and she stood rooted to the spot.
"Shh, someone's coming." She leapt onto a railing near the roof and Brennan crouched behind a filing cabinet. A large man strode into the room. His face was grim and held a look of evil. He stopped just short of Shal's hiding place above him, and stared warily around the rom, as if sensing a presence. Before he could consider this a possibility, Shalimar had leapt forward and struck him in his stomach, making him bent over double in pain. The man, apparently undaunted by this, spun around in a puddle of dark murky water, to face Shal once more.
"I'm guessing you aren't here for coffee morning then?" the man jibed.
He grinned and took a step forward. No sooner had Shalimar leapt into the air, a spark had gone through the water an the other man had fallen to the ground. Brennan appeared grinning.
"Hey," Shal said grinning, "He was mine, what you have to fry him for?"
"He was in deep water, what can I say, it was just an opportunity I couldn't miss." Shal gave him a light punch on the arm. She reached down to the man lying down on the floor and did a quick search through his pockets. She came up with something in her hand. She held up a ring.
"Comon, we've got Jesse to find."

Jesse sat panting in the corner of a room. He had to rest. The phase had used the remainder of his strength and he needed a rest.
He closed his eyes and leant against the wall, huddled up, and breathing heavily. He relaxed his muscles and his mind. Suddenly he heard something. He stiffened. He inwardly kicked himself, wondering why he hadn't made a complete escape while he still had the chance. Of course they were going to look for him. He stiffened and listened to the voices, which were approaching his room. He crawled to the corner of the room, and prayed silently. He heard some voices, and his mind tumbled in disbelief. It couldn't be. Adam? He listened.
"What can you feel Emma?" The voice said to the person next to him. He didn't hear the reply. He knew she was there. Emma, Jesse started. Emma was here. She would help him. She would. He found his feet, and made his way searchingly to the door and literally fell into the arms of the oncoming person. "Adam," Jesse said unsteadily. "Jess. God, are you ok?" Emma asked as she saw the withdrawn look on his face. "Jesse gave a faint smile, "Never better," he said, as he collapsed in his leaders arms.
"Shal, Bren, to the helix. We've got Jesse. We have to get too the sanctuary quick. Leave the search. We'll come back. Lets go." He looked disturbingly at the boy in his arms. "Jesse, What have they done to you?"

OK people, this chapter was meant to be much longer but I'm amazingly busy at the moment, so I had too split it up into two, so the next bit will be in the next chapter (big surprise! Lol)
I absolutely love you all for reviewing, it makes me keep writing, knowing that I have an audience. Love you all, but don't stop now! Please review!
