Chapter 12
Brennan returned to sit down in the armchair close to the bed of Shalimar. She is still unconscious, but her face is less pale than some hours earlier. Softly he puts his hand on her cheek and speaks to her in a soft way.
Brennan: Go Shal, its necessary that you get back quickly... I can't stand to see you in this state...
He sat in the armchair while keeping an eye on her. Behind him Jesse speeds up on the computer and let the computers make a scan of Emma who is still unconscious on the chair of examination. Adam steps in the laboratory and observes the two men... he can only notice how much Jesse is worried for Emma, in spite of the fact that he assured him that she was well. What he suspected at Brennan and Shalimar proves to be as exact for Jesse and Emma... It doesn't reassure him, because the narrower relations they maintain with the other will risk distorting their missions... He'll take care of that later... when this history with the Ditch will be finished and Shalimar has taken care of.
Adam: Jesse, you should bring Emma in her room, she will be installed better and the only thing that she needs now is rest, let her body take the rest it needs to heal from the voltage it took.
Jesse: Yes. I will bring her there...
Jesse takes Emma gently in his arms and brings her in her room, deposit her all smoothly on the bed and he slips her under the covers because she is cold. He bends over to her to deposit a small kiss on the forehead, but moves back suddenly, surprised by the look of the young woman.
Jesse: Emma! How do you feel?
Emma: Not in great shape. I have the impression that my body is browsed by thousands of ants. I have difficulty feeling my toes but I think that I don't feel too badly.
Jesse: You scared me!
Emma: I am distressed... I don't remember everything that happened...
Jesse: Let's say that our friends are going to remember a small moment of our meeting... That happened very quickly but one of the agents touched you with his taser...
Emma: Ok, I understand this sensation of burn that flowed in a little while in my veins better but now I have a certain hindrance only, the pain calmed itself.
Jesse: Yes Adam took care of that. He said that you needed rest to let your body recover. So you are going to remain lying until tomorrow. If you do need something, I will stay here.
Emma: It's not necessary Jesse, I can remain alone, I am better now.
Jesse: No I stay here. You frightened me when I turned around and I saw you on the ground... I...
Emma: Jesse! It's nothing. A taser never killed anybody you know.
A smile draws itself on Emma's lips, she tries to alleviate the tension that reigns. The reaction of Jesse seems excessive to her but she doesn't say anything... after what happened to Shalimar, everybody is stressed.
Jesse: You nevertheless remained unconscious a good moment I noticed!
Emma: It's that I don't have the powers of recuperation as Shal has, but I tell you that I am better now... I was in full use of my powers when I have been touched and that would be able to explain that I have been shocked more that I would not have being...
Jesse: I stay here... at least until you fall asleep.
Convinced that she would not get him to change his mind, Emma accepts his decision, containing that so he would be reassured.
Emma: Okay, okay.
She pulls the higher cover under her chin and closes her eyes, fatigue overcoming her resistance. Some minutes later, Jesse is satisfied with seeing that her breathing is regular and that she seems to sleep quietly. The time passes quickly and the silence hovers on the sanctuary. In Emma's room, Jesse finally fell asleep by dint of observing his friend. In the laboratory, Adam who finished his analyses decides to take some hours of rest, letting Brennan take care to watch over Shalimar, who wants to move his armchair. Brennan that reads quietly, as Emma before him, throws some strokes to the feline but no change occurred. Little by little, the silence and fatigue helping, he also dozed, the book put on his knees, and the head leaned backwards.
' 'She' runs and lose 'her' breath, in front of 'her' a woman runs also, the woman turns the head more and more often towards 'her', the fear... the fear reads itself on her face... the young woman stumbles and tries desperately to stand up but she doesn't catch up he... why... 'she' wants to stop but doesn't get there, the race becomes wild and the young woman is only 1m in front of 'her'. But who is this woman and why is she running? Reason is that 'she' runs after... something comes to hit the young woman on the head and stops her right there. A hand lands on her shoulder, strength to turn around to face 'her'. Done a hand glove, a hand... why? The woman's eyes are empty... 'she' doesn't read any expression, nothing, The questioning resounds in 'her' head at the same time as 'she' sees the hand pushing on the woman's shoulder, the accommodating to kneel... The young woman obeys without flinching... strange whereas she ran away some minutes before. The beatings of 'her' heart resound to 'her' ears whereas a second hand appears in 'her' field of vision, a knife... 'her' hand holds a knife... 'she' wants to release it but 'she' can't, it doesn't remain places and come closer slowly of the neck of the young woman, knelt before 'her'... No! 'She' wants to scream but no sound seems to come out of 'her' mouth. No! The blade approaches inexorably of the young woman and the woman has the stationary look... emptiness... hallucinated... as thoughtless person of the danger who watches it. No!!! 'She' screams again and still, tempting to move away 'her' arm that 'she' doesn't order the so thin, so tender neck... nothing avails... blood flows out slowly first... No! The howling burns 'her' lungs... 'she' is incapable to act yet 'she' is there... blood now flows stronger, skin becomes translucent but the young woman doesn't shout... the knife... the knife continuous his path and descends along the throat, life goes by before it and 'she' is not able to do anything there... the tears seem to want to escape of 'her' eyes but yet 'her' view remains fattening pond and 'she' cannot divert 'her' look of the morbid spectacle to which 'she' attends impotent. In a last helping hand, the knife now draws something on the fine and white skin of the chest of the young woman without life... '
Whining rises in the laboratory. Brennan is lulled but the sound gets through his dream and he straightens himself very quickly, looking with his eyes for the source what woke him up. His look carries itself on Shalimar whose sleep is agitated. Instinctively he approaches as near as possible to reassure her and notices immediately the drops that form in the corner of her eyes. The tears... he passes his cool hand on the face of Shalimar and notices that her temperature went up suddenly. Whining and the agitation stops quickly after the contact of his hand with her skin. The tears still flow out of the closed eyes of the young woman.
Brennan: It's nothing Shalimar... hush... has... it was only a nightmare, it's over now.
He sat on the bed next to her, touches her skin with an infinite tenderness... the tears dry and the young woman sleeps peacefully again. He returns to sit down once the crisis passed and takes his book, determined to stay awake this time. In the room of Anna and Alex, the silence as reign but the child doesn't sleep, his look is lost towards the ceiling and he also pours some tears that he is not able to stop...
