Chapter 4: Finding Out
"We can't let Crystal find out," Shalimar said at once trying to break the silence.
"Shalimar we have to tell her," Brennan said trying not to make Shalimar run away.
"Brennan is right we have to tell her," Adam agreed with Brennan but he knew how Shalimar was feeling but they also had to figure how to tell her.
"Okay forget how I'm feeling, right now I just want to know how Brennan and I became Crystal's parents?" Shalimar said while she started crying.
Jesse and Crystal had finished fighting and Crystal had finished talking to Emma about her background. Crystal was now sitting on top of the lab eavesdropping. She heard all of what they were saying and how Shalimar and Brennan were her parents. Crystal got up ran to her room and started crying.
Meanwhile
"I'm guessing that when Eckhart held both of you prisoner he took both of your DNA samples and put them together to make Crystal.
"Shalimar, Brennan, Adam," Emma and Jesse yelled in unison and they sounded really scared.
They all ran out of the lab together, Shalimar really scared, Brennan really worried and Adam really worried for Shalimar who he considered was his child.
"What, what is wrong?" Shalimar said now really worried about a girl who was apparently her child.
"We have a problem." Emma said holding a letter out to Shalimar.
Dear Shalimar (or mom however you want to put it)
I know that you and Brennan are my parents and yes if you were wondering, I was eavesdropping. I heard your reaction I guess you don't want me, but that is okay because everybody that has taken me in has ended up not wanting me. So I've run away so you don't have to deal with me. If you want to know I'm living with a few of my friends so yeah if you want to reach me, you can't. So now you and Brennan can live a happily ever after without me to deal with. So yeah
Sincerely, Crystal
Shalimar collapsed and Brennan and Adam caught her. Adam tried to wake her up while Brennan read the letter. He threw the letter down and punched a hole through the wall. Emma and Jesse wanted to know what was going on but Brennan just told them that when Shalimar woke up she would tell them.
