Chapter 10: Car Accident
Three hours later Brennan had bought Jesse a new car. It was a 2004 Mercedes Benzes. The price was a little bit over the cost of the Packard, but Jesse said that he would buy Brennan and the girls dinner and drinks at a club when ever they get a chance to go out. To make up for the extra money that Brennan had to spent. Shalimar said that she and Emma would take the mustang back home, while Brennan ride with Jesse.
"Brennan talk with him, and see if he likes Emma?" Shalimar whispered to Brennan, before they split to the separate cars.
"Why?"
"Just please do it, for me."
"Ok."
In The Mustang
"So Emma what's up?"
"Nothing, just thinking."
"Thinking about what?" Shal said very curiously.
"Um...about stuff."
"Is it about a guy?"
"Maybe..."
"Emma please tell me. I'm your friend. If you like a guy, you'll tell me right?"
"Well, I was thinking about..."
"About who?"
"...about Jesse..."
"REALLY!" Shalimar yelled in excitement as she looked at Emma
"Shalimar Watch OUT!!!"
Same time in the Mercedes
The guys took a different rout back to Sanctuary. They would ended up at the main road, but of course it would take a little bit longer. That gave more time for Brennan to talk with Jesse.
"So Jesse, do you like Emma?"
"What?" Jesse was a little shocked that he would say something like that just out of the blue.
"It's a simple question Jesse, Do you like Emma? Yes or no?"
"yes..." Jesse said embarrassed that he was talking to Brennan about his love life, "How did you know?"
"Well it's obvious, the looks you give her is dead give away."
"Do you like Shalimar?"
"Why do you care?" Brennan asked in defense
"Well why do you care about me liking Emma?"
"Shal told me to ask you."
"Wow, Brennan Malwary, doing what a woman ask you to do. You must really love her."
"You know this conversation is about you and Emma."
Suddenly Jesse slammed on the breaks, making Brennan to cures out loud, for he was not prepared for that. "Jesse, man what is your problem?" Brennan just looked at Jesse's shocked face. When he did not answer Brennan followed Jesse's gaze to the road. There he found his answer...
Police, ambulance, fire trucks, covered the entire freeway. The road looked like a parking lot, from all the cars that had nowhere to go. News choppers filled the sky, trying to capture what happened. Jesse turned on the radio, and there the two mutants found out what happened.
"...the semi truck lost control, swerved and hit the center divider. A black, I think a ford mustang, swerved to avoid the truck, instead hit another car, a jeep. The fire started after the truck hit the divider. There was only one fatality, the truck driver. The driver in the mustang and passenger in the jeep are in stable condition. And the passenger in the mustang and driver in the jeep are critical condition..."
"Brennan please tell me that the mustang is not the one Shal and Emma are in." Jesse managed to say.
"I don't know but I hope your right."
"...the license plate for the mustang is 4UR236O."
"God no." Brennan whispered. Suddenly with out any warning, Jesse got stormed out of the car and started running to the accented.
"Jesse stop!" Brennan yelled. He grabbed the keys, locked the door and made a fast pursuit for the young mutant. Brennan was jumping on hoods of cars trying to catch him. Finally Brennan grabbed Jesse right before policemen could stop him.
"Were is she?!" Jesse yelled at the policeman, trying to escape Brennan's grasp on him.
"Sir I need you to go back to your car."
"Where the HELL is SHE?!"
"Jess, come on." Brennan said trying to pull him back to the car.
"Who are you talking about, sir?"
"EMMA!" seeing the that the man did not understand, Jesse yelled out "the passenger in the MUSTANG! Where is SHE?!"
"They are going to take her to the Memorial Hospital."
"What do you mean their 'going to'? why isn't she there NOW!?"
"Sir please-"
'He asked you a question, why don't you answer him?" Brennan blurted out; he hate policemen.
"I need a crowbar." a fireman said out in the distance. When Brennan and the policeman looked to where the fireman was, Jesse broke out of Brennan's grip and made a dash for the mustang once again.
"Hey STOP!" yelled the policeman
"I'll get him." Brennan said as he once again made another pursuit. But once he got to Jesse, he pushed him against one of the police vans. He made sure that the only way that Jesse could get out of his grasp, was if he phase, and Brennan was praying that he won't do that.
"Brennan let me go!" Jesse yelled
"Let them do their jobs."
"I could phase her out in no-"
"I know you can, but you can't." Jesse was trying so hard to break free from Brennan's grip. Brennan couldn't believe that he was having a very hard time holding Jesse back. He never knew that Jesse could be this strong. "Jesse listen to me. Listen to me! What would Emma have you do?"
Those words made Jesse stop. He let himself to be held up by Brennan's hold on him because suddenly he lost strength to stand. He then said in a very weak voice, "But Emma...they can't get her out." Tears were threatening to flow, but Jesse wasn't going to show Brennan how weak he became.
"Shal is properly in there too, but I know they will help-"
"But she knew that you loved her. And you knew she loved you back. Emma doesn't know how much I love her."
"I know, Jess...Come on lets go back to the car, get Adam, and wait at the hospital for them ok?"
When Jesse didn't say anything Brennan took that as a yes. Slowly they made their way back to the Mercedes. Brennan got into the drivers set, since there was no chance at all that he would let Jesse drive in the state he was in. An hour later two lanes were opened, the two mutants slowly made their way back home. The whole time either of them talked at all. The radio was turned off, and the only sound, was the tires rolling over the slow and bumpy asphalt that paved a quite road.
As they pulled into to Sanctuary's garage, Brennan turned off the car and got out. "Stay here, while I'll get Adam, ok?" All Jesse did was nod in response. Brennan shut the car door, and headed to the lab. A few minutes later Brennan came back with Adam. Getting into the car; Brennan driving, Adam in the backset: they headed down to the hospital where Shalimar and Emma would be at.
Three hours later Brennan had bought Jesse a new car. It was a 2004 Mercedes Benzes. The price was a little bit over the cost of the Packard, but Jesse said that he would buy Brennan and the girls dinner and drinks at a club when ever they get a chance to go out.
