A/N: Thank you all so much for all the reviews. Okay enough of me here is
the next chapter.
Chapter 3
(Sanctuary – Next Day)
Adam was in the lab checking Shalimar's vitals when Emma walked in.
"Morning Adam, how's she doing?" Emma asked walking over to the side of Shalimar's bed.
"She's doing great. Brennan got there just in time."
"I just can't believe it was really him, you know."
"Yes, I was pretty shocked myself." Adam paused for a moment. "Emma do you know what happened between them?"
"It's about time you asked. Anyway I'm not exactly sure what happened because I haven't talked to Brennan yet, and even though Jesse probably has by now but I couldn't get a hold of earlier."
"So what do you know?"
"I know that Shalimar broke up with Brennan because she thought he was going to break up with her."
"Sounds like Shalimar was scared of what would happen between them once they got out into the real world."
"I agree, I mean they had something so dear to both of them, and I think Shalimar was afraid." Adam nodded his head in agreement as he walked towards one of the computers.
"How do you think they're going to like staying in the same house with one another?" Adam asked with a somewhat concerned look on his face.
"I have no idea, and I'm scared to find out. Have you told Brennan yet?"
"No, I didn't have time. All he knows is that we'll be over to get Shal's jeep, and that we're going to use his place as our safe house."
Shalimar started to stir as she woke up, and tried to open her eyes but she was blinded by the light in the lab.
"Adam she's waking up." Adam ran over to the other side of the bed that Shalimar was on in the middle of the lab.
"Easy there soldier." Emma joked.
"What happened?" Adam, and Emma explained everything to Shalimar minus the part that Brennan saved her life.
"What's the last thing you remember before passing out?" Emma asked as Adam left the lab to get a phone call, leaving it up to Emma to tell Shalimar about Brennan.
"I remember seeing a streak of blue come out of nowhere."
"A streak of blue huh, any idea as to what it was?"
"Nope, not one. I couldn't make it out clearly."
"Well that's understandable." Shalimar carefully sat up on the bed leaning on her forearms for support.
"Emma what is it you're not telling me?"
"Um, well.." Emma studdered.
"Just tell me Emma, I can handle whatever it is."
"The blue streak you saw was..." Emma paused.
"Was what?" Shalimar was getting frustrated, she wanted to know what was going on.
"It was electricity." Emma blurted out.
"That's what was so hard for you to tell me." Shalimar paused as she processed what she just heard Emma tell her. "It's impossible, no way." She couldn't believe it. //Brennan Mulwray was not who saved my life. It's impossible, he's probably on some tropical island rught now drinking Coronas and flirting with everything in a skirt. Am I jealous, that seemed jealous. I'm not jealous, why would I be I have Jacob.//
"Shal you okay?"
"Yeha just peachy." Shalimar said sarcastically. "Not only is my jeep ruined, but my ex saved my life." She added.
(Brennan's Loft – Three days later)
Adam, Emma, and a very unahppy Shalimar were in the Helix almost over Brennan's place when Jesse called Adam.
"Hello." Jess answered.
"Hey Jess do me a favour and ask Brennan where I can land the Helix."
"I can't ask him cause he's not home, but he told me to tell you that you can land the Helix in the backyard."
"The backyard, us ge crazy?" Emma exclaimed.
"No he's serious. Just trust me you'll have no problem with space." Jesse said as he looked out the back window.
"Okay." Adam flew over Brennan's place and landed the Helix in the beach,
"Adam is it necessary that I be here, I mean come on why can't I stay at my place?"
"Yes it's necessary, and your place is two and a half hours away." Shalimar huffed as Adam got up to leave the Helix.
Emma then got up and turned back when she reached the door of Helix.
"Are you coming or are you going to stay in here?"
"Right here." Was Shalimar's short reply.
"Shalimar he's not even here, besides since when are you ever scared of anything?"
"Scared, I'm not scared."
"Yes you are, You're scared of seeing." Emma was cut off by Shalimar. //This better work.//
"I'm not scared." Shalimar stood up, and walked to Emma and both of them procedded out of the Helix, and over to where Adam and Jesse were talking.
"Hey Shal how you feeling?" Jesse asked as Emma walked up to to him and gave him a kiss.
"Crappy, thanks for asking. Where's my jeep?" Shalimar finished a little nicer.
"It's in the garage." Jesse lead Emma, Adam, and Shalimar to her jeep.
"Wait don't open the door." Jesse stopped Shal just before she set of the alarm. Jesse put in the code, and the door opened.
"You got it fixed?" Shalimar was shocked.
"Acually Brennan did."
"Why would he do that?"
"The people who towed it asked him if he wanted it fixed so he said sure. It was free, and he figured why not."
"Well if he thinks I'm thanking him he's dreaming, and if he thinks I'm going to forgive him for everything than he crazy too, and if he thinks we cam jus tget back togeth,"
"He has a girlfriend Shal." Jesse cut her off.
"Oh."
"And Shalimar don't worry, chances are you won't even see him at all. Hell I've been here four days and I've seen him a total of 10 hours."
"Good because I don't want to see him." Jesse closed the garage door, and lead the other three into Brennan's place. Adam and Emma exchanged knowing looks, and they all walked into the loft.
"I bet you he used this place just to pic k up girls." Shalimar said before she stepped into the loft.
Emma stood shell shocked, the palce was gorgeous and not to mention spacious. Adam himself was speechless as he looked around.
"That's how I felt when I walked in. He even said in the summer, or whenever we want we can visit, and ise the place as a get away." Jesse told Emma.
"Guys the place ain't that great." Shalimar did not want to be there, and she was still in a lot of pain, and discomfort which was making her already bad attitude worse. //This place really is great. I can't believe I'm thinking this but I would love to live here.//
Jesse, Emma, and Adam just shook their heads at Shalimar.
Jesse then gave them the tour of the place and showed them the great view they hadn't seen when they were out back because Adam landed the Leix just off the side of the loft. Emma even saw Shalimar smile when she thought nobody was looking her way.
(Later on – 11:30 p.m.) All four remaining members of Mutant X sat in the living room talking.
"Adam I can not stay here by myself while you guys go searching."
"Shalimar you have to. You're injuries aren't healed completely and don't tell me they are because you wince every time you move."
"Whatever. Jesse what room can I sleep in?"
"Just pick one, except the one with the unmade bed, that's my room."
Shalimar walked up the stairs and opened the first door at the top of the stairs. She took a step in and turned on the light. The room was a fair size, there was a large cherry wood desk in the center of the room, and it was well lit.
"Hey Shal, here's your stuff." Emma walked up behind Shalimar and put her bag down.
"Thanks Em." Shalimar turned around to look at her best friend.
"Shal everything is going to be okay, and before you know it you'll be back at home making wedding arangements."
"Yeah I guess that's something to look forward too."
"It most certainly is, now get some rest, you need it." Emma gave Shalimar a hug and went back downstairs.
Shalimar picked up her bag, and walked to the end of the hall. When she got there she opened the door, and walked in. She walked over to the bed she could see was in the room, and put her bag down. She sat down on the bed, and turned on the lamp. The room was beautiful just like the rest of the place. She got up and changed into her pajama's and then laid back down on the bed. She reached over to turn off the lamp on the night stand when a picture caught her attention.
It was of Brennan and his girlfriend. She was beautiful whoever she was, tall about 5'7 to 5'8, slim build but strong. She had dark brown hair and blue eyes. Shalimar had to admit she was a little jealous. Who wouldn't be, after all it was Brennan, and Brennan was as good looking as any man could get. Not wanting to think about Brennan or his girlfriend anymore Shalimar turned off the lamp, and got under the covers.
