Chapter nine: In the game..

Adam and Echkart saw how Sanctuary was filled with a sylver weird energy as they started backing off. Jesse pulled over the car and joined them as they waited for Brennan to come out soon.

"He will make it..." Adam tried to convince everybody.

"Lets just hope he does so soon because im starting to get really bored here..." Echkart said now getting both Adam's and Jesse's furious looks. " What?" Jesse sighed in dissaproval and stood very still watching. Suddenly Sanctuary was all covered in the strange energy but nothing happened.

"Where is him?" Jesse asked approaching a bit. Seconds later, Sanctuary exploded. The three men covered their faces and got on their kness as they saw the explotion. "No.. no, no no.." Jesse said again looking at Adam.

"Brennan..." Adam said.

( )

"Well, well.. you ready?" A tall dark haired man who responded to the name of Digger asked Lexa and Shalimar. He entered their room and waited for them to follow him. They started walking down the aisle, Shalimar and Lexa noticing how many cells actually were in it. People screaming, shouting, cursing and talking nonesense behind them.

"Don't pay much attention to that girls..." The man smirked. He laughed histerically approaching to a cell to get a better picture of the torture of a man. Shalimar and Lexa ignored the feeling of beating the hell out of the man and smiled. They went on walking when the man suddenlt stopped. Shalimar and Lexa watched curioused at the sudden stop when Digger started talking.

"Well, this is it. Very simple job actually, the boss will be monitoring everything from his place, so don't screw it up. You get in, you ask some questions about who they work for, anything that can help us... Boss has this idea that they are important and belong to a group of mutants that can get dangerous, so dont you hesitate giving them hard time..." Digger filled them in.

"Sure." Shalimar replied with a creepy smile. Digger opened the door for them and both Shalimar and Lexa got in. Digger closed the door behind. Shalimar started walking carefully towards the prisioners, she had to use her feral senses cause there was no light.

"Hey Lex.. a little help in here.." Shalimar said. Lexa used her powers to light the place a bit just to be shocked by what they saw. Lexa rose her eyebrows and looked at Shalimar in sign not to act surprised or anything. Shalimar got it and approached to the men in front of her.

"Hey.. Hey!!" Shalimar shouted and slapped Jesse's face. She caught his chin and forced him to look at her. "Dont say a word Jess just play along." She whispered so low than not even Lexa could hear. Though Jesse could. Lexa approached and woke Adam and Echkart up by punching them both on their faces.

"Hi there.." She said in the sweetiest voice possible.

"L.." Adam started saying but Lexa shut him by punching him again and again.

"We do the talking here, you just answer what we ask you." She said coldly. Jesse looked at her and then at Adam and Echkart. They were tied up with chains all over their bodies, very hurt wounds showing.

"So.. lets go to basics.. who the hel are you?" Shalimar asked as she started pacing up and down. She started thinking of Brennan, where the hell was him? and mostly, was he alright? Alive at least...

"Guess you didnt make yourself so clear... WHO ARE YOU?" Lexa shouted and slapped Echkart's face.

"Mason Echkart. I worked at Genomex." Echkart replied coldly and never taking his eyes from the woman.

"Good boy. Now you!" She pointed at Adam.

"Im.. Im Adam Kane... I worked at Genomex too.." Adam said again confused.

"mmm.. Genomex.. and who is pretty boy?" Lexa asked Jesse now facing him.

"Jesse Kilmartin. I work with Adam." He replied knowing it was all a play.

"And what does our good friend Adam do?" Shalimar asked again walking around.

"I work to preserve mutants... I do research.. gentics research..." Adam said now starting to get the scene.

"Uhu.. And what does whitey do?" Shalimar asked looking at Echkart.

"Im retired." He said to her. Shalimar smiled and approached to echkart punching him really hard on the face. Lexa had to turn not to watch that.

"What were you doing with them?!" Shalimar asked him.

"Just... helping him at some researching.." Mason replied. His nose was bleeding badly.

"What a nice man... helping ex coleagues... good... and Jesse.. you said you worked with Adam... and if you do, im sure there are more out there that do that too, so.. who else is in that little group?" Shalimar asked him hoping he would say something about Brennan.

"Yes, we do have more teammates... but.. they are dead.." Jesse said staring at the floor. Suddenly Shalimar's expression changed completely. Lexa noticed that and walked quickly towards her supporting a hand on her shoulder. She came closer to her ear.

"Don't. You're gonna get all of us killed if you do." Lexa whispered then went back to the prisioners.

"Well.. they're dead.. how that happened?" Lexa asked watching Shalimar slightly.

"What happened? What the hell could have happened? Your people got into Sanctuary and started attacking!" Jesse said. Lexa approached and asked again.

"Im not liking that tone of yours sweety... now go on." Lexa allowed.

"We could scape... cause one of our teammates.. he... sacrificed himself for us.. He stood figthing while we.. while we scaped!" Jesse shouted hurt. It broke Lexa's heart watching him hurt like that. She didn't have the perfect relationship with Brennan but she was hurt he was dead too. Shalimar on the other hand was shocked. She wasn't moving nor talking, nothing.

"Ok, enough of sentimentalism... im touched really but lets get serious, I don't buy a damn thing of what you said before.." Lexa said. Then a knocking interrupted the scene. Lexa saw Shalimar was still not moving and went to open. Digger was on the other side.

"Boss said is enough. He wants you and Shalimar to go talking to him." Digger said. Lexa shot a quick glance at Shalimar and saw she was still as minutes ago.

"Of course. Shalimar lets go." Lexa said. Shalimar looked at her for the first time in minutes and followed Digger with Lexa. Digger headed them to a final room, with a wood weird door. He left them there.

"Shalimar.. Shalimar please talk to me." Lexa pleaded hurt. Shalimar stood still. "Shalimar!" Lexa said again.

"Leave me alone Lexa." Shalimar said as she started leaving.

"Shalimar you cant go now!!!" Lexa said reaching her. Shalimar twisted Lexa's arm and slammed her against the wall.

"I DO WHAT I WANT. AND RIGTH NOW I WONT STAY HERE." Shalimarf shouted and went on walking.

"You won't be able to leave Shalimar! They are gonna kill you!" Lexa said again.

"Don't have anything to live for now anyway." She said again and left. Lexa looked at the door in front of her and opened it.

( )

Shalimar ran down all the floors passing the guards easily as she got to the first one. Knowing getting out of there was gonna be hell. She started walking calmly towards the door when a bunch of guards stopped her.

"Where do you think you're going?" A guard stopped Shalimar's way.

"I know where you'll go. HELL." She said. She caught the guards arm and broke it with no mercy. She then kicked him and punched him hard, more guards approached and she left the one she hit aside. She jumped up and started kicking and hitting more guards, punching them, but they kept standing. Shalimar was getting tired and more guards were coming, she kicked another one and then jumped up again, this time she did a turn and hit another guard. She landed on the floor and stared at the remaning guards. A lot. One of them caught her down guarded and kicked her on her back. Shalimar looked at him and punched his face several times, then caught him and jumping kicked another guard while she dropped hardly on the floor the oher one. Then a man approached her from behind and was going to hit her with some kinda of weapon when a sylver energy hit him instead. Shalimar turned to see where it came from and saw nothing. Then a man walked the walls and kicked a guard in the air. He landed next to her.

"We gotta get out of here." The man said as he took her hand and dragged her out. They started running and Shalimar stopped his way.

"Brennan?" She asked. She sensed him.
