So here is the next chapter again I don't own mutant x

The black thorn

The black thorn was an elegant club different from what Shalimar and Brennan had been expecting, Shalimar looked down at her tight top and jeans feeling slightly under dressed she gazed at Brennan in his leather jacket he looks so strong, Shalimar! Stop it, that's no why you are here. Anyway he wouldn't fall for you he every woman who crosses his path falls for him she thought bitterly. Shalimar and Brennan split up; Shalimar went to the dance floor as Brennan pushed himself through the crowd to the bar. He sat and watched Shalimar dancing, her slender figure moving smoothly from side to side her blond hair circling her face.she really is beautiful thought Brennan. A tall dark man walked up to Shalimar and smiled at her. Brennan felt his blood rise and jealousy pound through his veins. Shalimar smiled at the new comer and they began to dance. Brennan couldn't watch so he stood up and walked over to Shalimar and slid his arm around her waist possessively.

"having fun?" he whispered into her ear.

"Of course, I thought you didn't like dancing Brennan"

"I don't but I like it even less when I'm not the one dancing with you" replied Brennan.

"Are you jealous Brennan?" Shalimar laughed, Brennan shook his head stunned by the question but seeing the hurt expression on Shalimar's face he whispered

"Maybe a little, I don't want you in any danger, the mutant could be any man here, maybe that guy" he signalled with his head in the direction of the tall dark man who had wondered to the bar after Brennan had showed up.

"Do you want to keep me safe?" asked Shalimar shyly. Brennan's hold on Shalimar tightened

"You know it, come on lets go outside for a while" suggested Brennan.

"Ill be right there, just let me get my drink" said Shalimar.

Brennan left the bar and was greeted by the crisp air he leaned against the wall thinking of Shalimar how do you managed this Brennan you finally fall for a girl and you cant even managed to tell her how you feel he stared up at the sky watching the birds circle and listening to groups of people around him talking with each other.

"Brennan? Brennan are you there" asked Jesse, the sudden noise shook Brennan out of his dream like state. I just wanted to tell you that it ends up that Delano Black isn't the mutant's original name he changed it a couple years back after a murder case. His real name is Stanley Boss. As the name echoed in Brennan's ear time seemed to stand still and his blood ran cold. Brennan hissed urgently into his ring

"Shalimar can you hear me? Get outside now! We're leaving" he turned around to see Shalimar starring him in the face

"Why?" she asked curiously

"I'll explain on the way just move I don't want anyone to hear our conversation." Replied Brennan quickly

Brennan grabbed Shalimar's arm and began jogging back to the helix once inside Shalimar wrenched her hand from his grasp

"You mind telling me what this is about?" she asked.

Brennan shut the door and placed the helix into auto pilot before he turned around to look at Shalimar confused face.
