A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed I wasn't if people were still going to remember the story, and since you asked so nicely here is the next chapter.

Chapter 6

"Shalimar where the hell do you think your going?" Brennan asked sternly.

"Out for a run. Now leave me the hell alone you self centered jackass!" She stormed out.

"Yeah well screw you too!" Brennan screamed back in as Shalimar slammed the door closed. Brennan walked over into the kitchen and immediately noticed the note addressed to him on the table.

Dear Brennan,

Adam got a call from one of his sources early this morning on the whereabouts of the new mutants that attacked Shalimar. We, Jesse, Adam, and I are heading back to Sanctuary to come up with a plan of action.

Love,

Emma.

As Brennan thought about what he had just read he quickly picked up the phone, and dialed the number to his department.

"Hi this is detective Mulwray. I need to speak with Detective Pierce."

"Just a moment please." By now Brennan was pacing, and he kept looking out the door to see of he could see if he could see Shalimar.

"Hello, Detective Pierce."

"Hey, it's me."

"Look Brennan we already went over everything, and I'm busy right now so I don't have time to argue."

"I know, I know." He said sadly. "I'm handing over my John Doe case to you. I'm taking a leave of absence. Everything is in the file. I'll drop it off by the front desk as soon as I can. Pretyy much all you have to do I bust the guy. Good bye Lexa."

"Goodbye Brennan." Lexa said trying not to cry.

"Oh, and Lex."

"Yeah?"

"Good luck."

"Thanks." They both hung up the phone.

Okay calm down Brennan. Call Adam and get the info you need. You used to do this all the time.Brennan told himself still pacing.

"Adam Kane."

"Adam, it's me." Brennan said worriedly.

"Brennan what is it? Is something wrong?"

"I don't know, maybe. It's about Shalimar."

"What about her, is she okay?"

"I don't know Adam is there any chance she heard you this morning?"

"No. Brennan what is going on?"

"When I came in this morning Shalimar was practically running out the door."

"She was probably just going for a run."

"That's what she said but something is telling me she heard you this morning and she's gone after those little bastards on her own."

"There is no way she heard me. Brennan just calm down, she'll probably be back in a little while."

"Whatever." Brennan hung up the phone. He walked into the garage and instantly noticed that Shalimar's jeep was gone. "Damn it!" He ran back inside.

"Hello." Adam answered irritated.

"She's gone Adam. Her jeep isn't there and come to think of it she wasn't wearing jogging clothes."

"There's no way she heard me though Brennan so calm down. Besides I though you hate her.

"Adam how would you know if she did or didn't hear you, she is a feral remember." Brennan ignored Adam's other comment, and listened as the other end of the phone was dead. "Adam, Adam you there?"

"Yeah I'm here."

"I'm going after her, feed me the coordinates."

"Brennan slow down. You have work, and you don't have a com ring."

"I handed over my case to Lexa." He told Adam, sadness clearly in his voice, "and I do have a com ring. No time to explain just send me everything I need to know."

"Okay. I'll have Emma, and Jesse prepare for take off. I hope you're right Brennan." Brennan told Adam to send the coordinates to his Escalade before running upstairs to his room to grab the com ring that was sitting in a box in his closet.

(Same time - Hideout)

They had been waiting for her. She shouldn't have left on her own. They surrounded her, and she couldn't fight them all off on her own. Her injuries didn't help either, in fact they were making things much worse.

Shalimar was locked in a cold room with a bed, one thin blanket, and a pillow. No windows, no way out

I'm so screwed now. No backup, no com ring, just a whole lot of pain.Shalimar passed out from the intense pain.

"The others should be , find them. I want them all dead."

"Sorry sir, she came alone."

"Impossible."

"It's true sir, Miss. Fox came alone."

"Then be on the lookout. The others will come in search of her."

"You got it Josh."

(On the Road)

"Okay I'm on my way Adam."

"Be careful Brennan. Jesse and Emma are having some problems with the helix so they will be there shortly."

"I will, and tell them not to be to long."

(2 hours later)

Shalimar awoke as she heard screaming coming from down the hall. She flashed her eyes gold, and received a massive pain in the back of her neck.

"They didn't." She felt the back of her neck. "They did. These little bastards gave me a sub dermal governor. I'm ultra screwed now. Adam, Jesse, and Emma don't even know I'm gone, and the one person that always had my back no matter what is to busy crying over his slutty girlfriend, ex girlfriend, and is pissed at me. Granted I'm pissed at him too but right now I don't care about that because I just want him to save my ass for the trillionth time."

A few minutes later the steel door to Shalimar's room started to open. Shalimar jumped off the bed, and towards the door.

Here goes nothing.Shalimar punched the guard right in the mouth as he opened the door.

"Stupid move Miss Fox." He set off her sub dermal governor and she collapsed on the floor. The guard dragged her out of the room, and down the hall into another room. When Shalimar came to she was chained to a wall with about ten new mutants around her.

"So nice of you to finally join us,,, again Miss Fox." Shalimar recognized the cocky stuck up voice.

"Joshua right?"

"Glad you remembered." He said cockily.

"Whatever. What the hell do you want from me?"

"Right to business then."

"Answer my question." Shalimar demanded.

"You're in no position to be demanding anything."

"Do I look like I care?"

"No, but you will."

"Is this going somewhere?"

"Yes, actually it is. I want to know the whereabouts of Sanctuary."

"What makes you think I'll tell you anything, especially where Sanctuary is?"

"I knew this would be a struggle but maybe a little fire will help convince you to tell me what I want to know." Shalimar froze in fear when she seen the blow torch.

Two hours later and more than a dozen burn marks on her body Shalimar was dragged back into her cell, still unconscious.

"She doesn't know he's hear. Throw them into the same cell. The feral in her will do anything to protect the pack."

"Yes sir right away."

"Mike?"

"Yes sir."

"Call me Josh from now on."

"Yes sir, I mean Josh."

"Oh, and Mike how is our other guest doing?"

"Not to well, not to well at all."

"If he doesn't show signs of getting better bring him to the infirmary."

(Helix)

"Adam this place is deserted. No body is here." Jesse said frustrated.

"That's impossible."

"No Adam, not if they were expecting is, and moved before we got here."

"You're right Emma it was a trap along. It was just a pick up point which means they have Brennan and Shalimar. The question now is where did they take them. Jess, Emma get back here right away."

"We're on our way Adam, I hope you have a plan." Emma said boarding the Helix followed by Jesse.

(Hideout)

Shalimar was lying face down on the bed when the guards opened the door to her room, and threw someone in, and then slammed the door closed, as to wake the two up. However it only slightly woke up Shalimar. She turned over in bed and thought she seen Brennan before she passed back out.

A half hour later Shalimar woke up completely. When she sat up she noticed that she had a guest, Not knowing who it was because he was lying face down on the floor. She got up slowly and walked over to the mysterious guy lying on the floor. He had no shirt on and Shalimar could see that he had been tortured as well. There were whip marks covering his back, and burn marks. Not to mention that his back was one big bruise, she was scared to turn him over.

As she bent over to turn him over she screamed in pain. The man turned over, and looked up at her with one black and blue eye so swollen you couldn't he could barely open it. "Guess I was right."

"Brennan?" Shalimar whispered, thinking she was dreaming.

"Yeah, I think that's my name." He winced.

"Take it easy."

"What did they do to you?"

"Same thing they did to you by the looks of it." She knelt down on her knees, and caressed his face lightly.

"Since when are you being nice to me." He tried to sit up.

Shalimar didn't know what to say. "This is dream, so it doesn't I can be nice to you." She finally answered still caressing his face with one hand.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing, never mind. I need to wake up now, and get the hell out of here so I can go back to being mad at you, and getting on with my wedding." She felt him wince under her touch.

"Shalimar you're not dreaming."

"Yes I am Brennan."

"No Shalimar you're not. Unfortunately this all very real, and very painful. If you don't believe me I could pinch you."

"You mean I'm not dreaming you're really here."

"Yeah." was all he said lying back down because of the excruciating pain he was in. Shalimar watched as Brennan started to fall asleep on the floor.

"Brennan wake up, I'll help you onto the bed."

"There's only one bed, and it's yours."

"You can borrow it you self centered jackass."

"Is that my new nickname or something." Brennan tried to lighten the mood.

"No it's what I'm calling you from now on, and if you weren't so hurt I would be so beating the shit out of you right now since I can't stand to be in the same room as you. Hey I'm really not dreaming." Shalimar fought through her pain and help Brennan onto the bed as she did so she felt his forehead, and noticed that he was burning up.

"See I told you."

"Whatever, just rest for now, and when you wake up we'll try and get out of here."

"You get out, just leave me here."

"Why the hell would you say that?!" Brennan passed out most likely because of his high fever.

Shalimar sat at the edge of the bed. As she went to pull the blanket over Brennan she lost her balance, and ended up with her end on Brennan's chest. With no strength left to move, and feeling safe where she was she fell asleep.
