A/N: Chapter two! Yay! Oh, and my hopes are to get at least 8 reviews. If I don't, I may prolong my update. Then you'll have to wait extra long to find out what becomes of our favorite Mutant X hotties.

CHAPTER 2

"Dammit!" Brennan shouted, slamming his fists onto the keyboard in frustration. Shalimar came up behind him and laid a hand on his shoulder. "The people that took them must've taken their Com rings. I can't get a location on either of them. DAMMIT!" He shouted again.
"Keep trying, baby. We can't give up. Maybe one of them's stupid and will put on the ring 'cause they think it's cool looking. Then we'll be able to track 'em down." Brennan sighed and ran his fingers through his hair in frustration.
"I swear to God, if they hurt them..." he growled.
"I know, baby, I know." She whispered, a tear running down her cheek.

"I can't believe they got my Com ring." Jesse commented dismally, but Lexa grinned.
"Not mine. I hid it." She whispered. Jesse's eyes widened.
"Seriously?" He asked excitedly.
"Seriously," she replied. "It's in my bra."
"Good, keep it there. We don't want them to catch you with it on." Jesse told her, she nodded. The cell door squeaked open and three burly men strode in. Lexa and Jesse stood in fighting stances. Lexa shot a beam at them but something reflected it. She growled. One of the guys zapped her with a buzz baton and she fell to the floor in pain. Jesse sprang forward and threw a punch at him, but was grabbed roughly by two of them and dragged out of the cell door, which slammed shut behind him. He struggled madly, but couldn't escape their vice- like grips.
"JESSE!" Lexa screamed, throwing herself against the bars, only to get shocked again and thrown backwards to the floor. "BASTARDS!"
Lexa punched the cell wall in frustration. She pulled the Com ring out and slipped it onto her finger, hoping that Brennan and Shalimar were still trying to locate them.
"Brennan? Shalimar?" She whispered as loudly as she dared, knowing that a guard, or several guards were somewhere close by.

"I've got something!" Brennan crowed triumphantly. Shalimar came running to his side, looking eagerly over his shoulder.
"Brennan? Shalimar?" Lexa's soft voice echoed through the room.
"Lexa? Is that you? Where are you guys? Are you okay?" Brennan asked hastily, relief flooding his body.
"I don't know where we are," Lexa whispered. "I'm okay, but they just took Jess away. God, I think they're torturing him." Shalimar growled angrily, Brennan laid a hand on her arm.
"Got it," Shal muttered in triumph as the computer locked on to Lexa's position. "We're coming for you, Lexa." Shalimar assured her.

Jesse felt his hands being lashed together behind the chair in which he now sat. He looked tauntingly at the older man and a young, cattish woman rubbing against him eagerly. "Can't take me without my hands tied?" He grinned.
The guard, a big, dumb, blundering loser, jabbed a buzz baton into his side, sending a jolt of pain through him. The woman purred and slid over to him, running a finger along his jaw. Jesse glared daggers at her, snapping at her finger with his teeth. She flinched without meaning to, looked taken aback for a moment, and then grinned. "Can I play with him, Theo? Pretty please?" She looked at him with wide, pleading eyes.
"Aye, Serenity, in a moment. I want to have my way with him first. You just tell me if he lies. If he does you can use him as your new scratching post."
"Feral, huh?" Jesse said quietly. The woman, Serenity, nodded and smiled, bearing tiny fangs, eyes flashing yellow. "I have a friend like you. But she's nicer. Prettier too." He grinned cockily as Serenity hissed and slashed his face with sharp, claw-like nails. He felt blood trickle from the wounds on his cheek, but continued smiling.
"Enough," Neilson ordered. "Now, mutant, where is Adam Cane?"
Jesse shrugged as best as he could in his bonds, "I dunno." Neilson glanced at Serenity who nodded, assuring him that Jesse spoke the truth.
"Okay, so you don't know where Adam is. But you must know... where is the place called Sanctuary.
"What the hell's that?" Jesse replied stubbornly. Serenity shook her head that it was a lie.
"Oh good, now the fun begins." Neilson smirked wickedly, snatched some electrical pads, hooked by wires to a small machine used to generate electricity. "So, you're a molecular. Let's see if you can stay massed long enough to not feel what I suspect will be a huge amount of pain." He grinned more maliciously than before. He put two of the circular pads on Jesse's chest and taped them there. He nodded to his muscle man to turn the machine on. He took a small remote control, stepped back beside Serenity and pushed the button. Jesse massed quickly, only receiving a small shock before his mutation took effect. He held it for as long as he could which, luckily, was long enough for Neilson to flick off the charge. "Good, very good. And again." He pushed it on again; Jess massed, but couldn't hold it.

White hot pain coursed through Jesse's body, he screamed in pain, throwing his head back, his body convulsing. Neilson pushed the button again and the electric flow stopped, leaving Jesse blinded by pain and gasping for air.
"Too bad, now, I'll ask you again. Where is Sanctuary?" Neilson said, not as calmly as before. The guard pushed the buzz baton into Jess's stomach and sides several times when, again, he did not answer, only glared, chest heaving. "WHERE IS SANCTUARY!!??" Neilson screamed, pushing the remote's button again. Pain scoured Jesse's body.
"Screw... y-you." He gasped when the third shock ended. Serenity slashed her nails across his bare chest and stomach several times as she snarled in anger. Neilson let her go for a few minutes before pulling her off again. Jesse lost consciousness after several more jolts from the buzz baton and one more from the machine.

"He's been with them for over two hours. What the hell are they doing to him?" Lexa whispered into the COM ring, panic seizing her heart.
"I don't know Lexa." Shalimar's worried voice responded.

Lexa heard the guards coming; they were dragging something between them. When they came into view, she gasped sharply. "JESSE!" She shrieked in horror at the bruised and bloody sight of him. They tossed him roughly into the cell beside her, slamming the door shut. She fell to her knees at his side, lifting his head onto her lap. "Oh God, they killed him!" she gasped. The others didn't hear her.

"Lexa!" Shalimar exclaimed in fear. "Lexa what's going on?"
