Mutant X : The Only Way In
Chapter 10: Still Hurting
By: NelleFang-Slayer
It has been one week since Adam was rescued and Jamie went her separate way. Shalimar was the most upset. Everyone tried to cheer her up, even Lexa. Brennan tried to get Shalimar to eat and no one knew that Jesse wasn't even sleeping until that morning. Lexa walks up to Jesse.
Lexa: Jess you don't look to good.
Jesse: I'm not sleeping that well.
Lexa: More like not sleeping at all.
Adam walks in with Brennan and Shalimar.
Adam: Jesse your not sleeping?
Jesse: Yeah, I just can't you know. I'm worried about her.
Shalimar runs over to Jesse and hugs him.
Shalimar: I miss her too.
Adam: I know its hard but she had to do what she had to do.
Shalimar: But Adam she was injured she needed us.
Adam: Shalimar she had a friend that could take care of her.
Shalimar: How do you know that she didn't just make it up?
Adam: I know Jamie. I also know that you miss Jamie as much as I do. I have a feeling that she has her own mission isn't complete yet.
And on that note Adam was right, Jamie's mission wasn't over but it would be very soon. Brennan lead Shalimar to her "new" room while Jesse and Lexa had a bone to pick with Adam.
Jesse: Do you think Jamie got the Diminion off our trail?
Adam: I don't know.
Lexa: They won't give up that easily.
Adam: I believe you right. You both need some sleep and in the morning try to train, just to be on the safe side.
Jesse: Okay. Night Adam.
Adam: Night Jesse ...Lexa.
Lexa: Night.
Jesse and Lexa go off to bed.
Adam (to himself): I hope you're alright Jamie, and I hope you can come home soon.
Meanwhile Jamie is in a lot of pain. You can't see who is with her but she is unrapping Jamie's bullet wound.
Women: I need to clean this...
Jamie: Okay.
Women: It will hurt, do you want me to...
Jamie: ...to use your powers, no. Just do it.
Women: Okay. Hold still.
Jamie winces while her friend cleans the wound.
Jamie: Did you send the message to Adam and the others?
Women: Yes they should get it soon. You need your rest.
The women raps Jamie's wound and leaves her.
The next day at Sanctuary
Adam walks into the living area of Sanctuary.
Adam: Jamie just sent a message.
They all run over to the computer and Adam plays the message.
Jamie: I'm sorry I ditched you guys but I had to, for all our sakes. I know you must be mad at me but I bet you understand. If you are wondering about the person who is helping me you should know that if you knew who she was you would believe that I'm in good hands. I will try to talk to you all soon and maybe it will be in person, I hope. I love you all so much. Please don't try to track this, I am you know Adam's daughter. If you want to send me anything, send to the address below.
And it was over. Shalimar started to have tears run down her checks. Brennan came over and hugged her tightly.
Adam: She used her own program to send this.
Jesse: What do you mean Adam?
Adam: Sometimes when Jamie and I couldn't sleep we would work on programs that can't be traced.
Lexa: She is your daughter Adam.
Adam smiles and looks down at a picture of a young beautiful girl with blond hair and deep blue eyes.
Adam: She is isn't she? I wish I could have done something more.
Shalimar: You did. You helped her realize that she didn't just lose parents she gained a family.
Shalimar hugs Adam.
Women: Jamie! Jamie wake up.
Adam and his team were getting ready for bed when Shalimar decided she needed something to drink. Almost to the kitchen she stopped. Brennan came in behind her and stopped then yelled to Adam and the others.
Brennan: Adam!
Adam, Lexa, and Jesse come running in and once they are right up to Shalimar and Brennan they stopped too. They all stared in the same direction.
Please R&R. :)
