Chapter 8: Saving Her Life
Brennan wrapped the sheet around Crystal's abdomen while she was lying unconscious. Emma arrived and told him that Jesse and Adam were parking the Helix.
Shalimar was busy kicking Ashlocke's ass before he got the upper hand. She tripped on his foot and Gabriel got up and kicked her in the stomach. He got his powers back and hit her with an electric blast. She flew beside Crystal and Gabriel started to laugh. Brennan grabbed the gun and shot another bullet at him, he screamed in pain and then Brennan generated an extremely big tesla coil and shot it at him. Gabriel lost consciousness while he flew to the door.
"Brennan, you need to call an ambulance, we can't get through this force field around Ashlocke's apartment," Jesse said through Crystal's COM link.
The paramedics showed a few minutes after that and got Shal and Crystal onto a stretcher and into the ambulance.
3 Days Later
Shalimar awoke to find a sleeping Jesse on a chair beside her and Brennan standing on the other side, eyes wide open.
"Morning beautiful." He said with a great big smile on his face.
Shalimar tried to smile but pain shot through her stomach and she screamed in pain. Jesse woke up and asked if everything was all right.
Shalimar nodded trying not to scream again. "Where's Crystal?" she asked trying to remember what happened before she ended up here.
"Crystal is in the ICU." Jesse answered with a really bad look in his eyes.
"Well I want to see her." Shalimar said persistently.
"Whoa, you're not going anywhere." Brennan replied
"Why not?" she asked with her pout.
"Because you've just been hurt and you need to recuperate." Brennan answered and had his don't make me hurt you face on.
"I want to see her!!" she said getting really angry
Jesse looked at Brennan thinking maybe they should tell her about her daughter.
"You want to know the truth?" Brennan asked looking at Shalimar trying not to make her cry.
"For the last time, yes!!" Shalimar whined
"Crystal went into a coma when she got to the hospital. She has been in the coma for a few days now." Jesse replied as Shalimar looked at him in disbelief.
