Chapter Two
'How comes you were so late? Was it work again?'
'Yeah! Sorry, what can I say they can't do nothing without me'
'Working for the Secret Service hay, tough job'
'Real tough, anyway enough about work thought we were here to have a good
time'
'Brennan , Brennan' Shalimar's voice came through his comlink.
'Is that work again?'
'Yeah! Sorry, gotta answer it'
'You do that, I need to use the lady's anyway, and I'll be back'
'Shal, what is it' Brennan said slightly annoyed
'Have you found anything out from your source yet?'
'I'm working on it ok, I'll get back to you.'
'Bren...' Brennan had gone, Shalimar couldn't believe it things had
definitely changed between them until today she hadn't wanted to accept
that fact.
Cordelia Chase took her phone out of her bag and dialled his number.
'Hello' came the dark smooth voice
'Angel, its me'
'Cordy, what's going on find out anything'
'No not yet, his keeping things very close to his chest but I'm working on
it, I'll get it out of him don't worry'
'I'm not, but hurry our client is getting agitated and Cordy be careful'
'Ok bye' she smiled he hadn't wanted her to do the job, and she couldn't
help thing that somehow he was jealous she was with another guy. But Angel
never told her how he felt she only hoped he would someday.
'Sorry I took so long, sort everything out with work?'
'Er yeah!'
'So isn't there anything you can tell me about where you work, what you do,
come on Brendan don't you trust me?'
'Depends what do I get in return for sharing my secret with you?'
'You get me, all of me'
'Let's dance' he held out his hand.
She smiled and took it. 'Damn' she thought, he wasn't going to be as easy
as she had thought.
Back at Sanctuary
'Lexa, did you get anything from the Dominion?'
Lexa was sitting down, exhausted
'Hay, hay are you ok' asked Shalimar
'I'm fine,ijust haven't been sleeping at night's that's all'
'Oh I see!' she rose her eyebrow 'Jesse's been keeping you up has he?'
'No, no' Lexa said slyly
'Well something's up, you haven't been yourself lately. I know we haven't
exactly seen eye to eye but maybe I can help'
'Your right on us not seeing eye to eye'
'Fine Lexa, have it your way' she began to leave the room
'Wait, if I tell you have to promise not to tell anyone especially Jesse'
'Ok, what's going on?'
'Jesse' Brennan called on his comlink
'Yeah Bren what's up'
'According to my source, whatever is going down has something to do with a
company called Angel Investigations, see what you can find on them'
'On it, so how's your date going?'
'Good man, she's unlike any woman I've met before but there's something
she's hiding from me'
'Isn't their something your hiding from her?'
'Yeah I know, I'm just suspicious of other people's secrets tell me when
you found something'
'So, we going back to your place?'
'Don't we always Brendan, its not like I know where you live' she walked
off. She needed to get the information tonight, if what their client had
told them was true then Mutant X had to be stopped.
