Chapter 3
The members of Mutant X gaped at her in disbelief.
"You've got to be kidding me," Lexa slapped her hand on the table in frustration.
"Unfortunately, no," Sheridan shook her head.
Sheridan looked around at the crestfallen expressions surrounding her. Her sarcastic expression fell to one of seriousness and she took a deep breath.
"Guys, I'm really sorry," Sheridan apologized. "Maybe if I get some rest, it'll come to me."
"That's a good idea, I'll show you where you can lie down," Jesse stood and guided her to a back room.
When they were out of earshot, the others turned towards each other.
"If things couldn't get any worse," Brennan ranted.
"Well, we could all be dead," Lexa pointed out.
"Aren't you the ever optimistic one?" Jesse plopped down beside Lexa on the couch.
A heavy silence settled over the group.
"I think we should look for a more permanent settlement," Jesse suddenly spoke up.
"Like a new Sanctuary or an apartment building?" Shalimar asked.
"The way I see it, we're screwed," Lexa complained. "We have no money, no home, no friends, no nothing, pretty much. And the three of us could be dead tomorrow."
Jesse reached for her hand and laced their fingers together. "Hey, we'll figure this out, okay. Sheridan's the key. We have to help her remember her time with the Dominion."
The rest of the team nodded in agreement.
"As far as the home issue goes, Adam said something about another Sanctuary, a mini-Sanctuary really. The question is, where is it," Jesse leaned back, sinking into the couch, pulling Lexa back onto his chest.
Suddenly, a loud rumble was emitted from Brennan's stomach. The tension was lifted as everyone broke into light laughter.
"I guess it's time to see what we scrounge up," Shalimar patted Brennan's shoulder as she stood, and the group headed to the kitchenette.
