Carey watched the news cast in front of him and then looked at Fi in disbelief once it had finished,
"Falling off two story buildings and not a scratch? Bursting into flames but no burns? Fi come on this is way more farfetched then usual." Carey laughed at what Fi was suggesting, but Fi just replied seriously.
"Maybe that's because usually the news don't post about goblins and aliens, which means this is a modern myth since that's all these things are to you guys." Fi replied and then barreled on,
"Think about it Carey if I have found proof of stories a hundred years old I can proof of this which is new," She said looking him in the eye so he could see just how serious she was.
"I'm not saying your right but on the slightest chance that these mutants or what ever are real, then maybe they don't want to be found Fi," Carey said humoring her for now.
"No body different wants to be found Carey, aliens hide even normal people who are different in a slight way hide. But they shouldn't they should share their talents and help people." Fi said smiling thinking about what would happen when she does find a mutant she would be able to prove that they exist and not just hoaxes plus maybe her family would believe her for once.
"Please help me Carey, you wouldn't want me going off alone now would you? And plus you got your car, ya know I'm still wondering why you let Clu and Jack drive it on the way up." Carey rolled his eyes,
"I did that to get them to leave me alone, and if it will keep you from walking to town I'll go. Come on," Carey said grabbing his keys and popped his head in the door and said to Jack who was in the lounge,
"I'm taking Fi for a ride into town, meet you at the club tonight,"
"Sure thing," Jack replied as he switchedon the tvand Carey got into his car a pulled out of the drive way.
"So where to Fi?" Carey asked as they drove into town,
"There is a warehouse on the corner of Cadence St, mutants were sighted there last week," Fi announced and Carey drove in that direction with a sigh.
At Danlopen Alley…Brennan, Shalimar, and Mia got out of the car around the corner from the warehouse as they walked the rest of the way. Brennan walked into the warehouse first followed by Shalimar and Mia; As soon as they walked in they were bombarded by people trying to sell different types of things to them, everything from garments, to drugs and firecrackers.
"This seems more like the flea market then an underground smuggling ring," Shalimar observed as they got away from the crowd of people at the door.
"Maybe that's because all the real goods are out back," Brennan said glancing towards the rows of stalls.
"We split up that way if one of us is sighted we aren't all out of the picture," Brennan suggested and the three of them went separated ways. Brennan found himself in the weapons section, while Shalimar was in the counterfeit section, which stocks everything from gold to paper money.
Mia walked though her area taking in the entire area noting the entire layout of the warehouse for future reference, she was in the technology section and saw many different computer hardware items amongst many different stalls. Mia had almost reached the end of her area and was about to turn back to meet up with Brennan and Shal when she felt herself being pulled back into another room. She looked up to her captor to see the face of one of the scientists that had been working on the prototype,
"Hello young lady now what would a nice girl like you be doing here?" He said with a slow smile and before Mia knew it a large dagger had cut though her skin on her left shoulder. It sunk right though and lodged the tip in the wall so she was pined down. She looked to her left to see the second security guard that had been on the pay roll.
'Looks like we underestimated their security guards,' Mia thought to herself as she looked back to the scientist. He was the youngest of the team that had been working on the project,
"I was looking for some computer equipment." Mia said confidently used to having to think on her feet,
"I like my prey pinned down," the scientist drawled with a mischievous smile, just then a loud and clear thought came from his mind though Mia telepathy,
'I'm going to have fun with her,' Mia was disgusted and with a swift kick she knocked him on his back. She pulled the dagger out and knocked out the guard and within seconds she was out of the warehouse and met up with Brennan and Shalimar. Brennan noticed the blood seeping onto her shirt from the wound straight away,
"I guess you got something," he said as Shalimar grabbed the first aid kit and applied a gaze to the would to stop the blood,
"Yea its not just the one security guard, Shalimar I'm fine it'll heal up in a few minutes." Mia said holding the gauze in place just so they would both leave her alone with the fussing before they even started.
The three of them got into the car while Mia explained exactly what had happened. Once she had finished Mia took the gauze from her shoulder to find the would had almost sealed up,
"OK take me to the club I'm late for sound check and I can change my shirt there." Mia said and Brennan drove towards the club while Shalimar reported to Adam what had happened at the warehouse over the phone and Adam suggested that Brennan and Shalimar come back to Sanctuary to explain it better. So after they dropped Mia off at the club they proceeded back to Sanctuary to find Jesse and Emma already there.
"So what did you guys find?" Brennan asked as they entered the room,
"A whole lot of nothing at the security guards house, and I mean nothing completely cleared out," Jesse said tapping away at the keyboard in front of him bring up the three profiles of the scientist from the warehouse along with the two security guards.
"So we got our culprits now what?" Shalimar asked looking over at Adam,
"We find out how deep it runs, tomorrow Brennan you and Jesse can go back to the warehouse in the night as I will be setting up a meeting for you to meet with them for business at night." Adam said,
"But for now you can go back to the club and make sure the guests have fun." Adam said and the four of them left him alone in the med lab.
At the club…Fi and Carey went to the club early as they found absolutely nothing at the warehouse,
"Looks like they had cleaned out," Fi said sounding disappointed yet intrigued as she put her laptop on the table and started tapping the keys while Carey sat down and looked around the club trying to see if Mia was there yet. The band was already starting to set up on stage and began the sound check for the instruments, Mia entered a few minutes later and the first thing Carey noticed was the large blood patch on her left shoulder as she entered. Carey rushed over to her as Fi closed her laptop and followed not saying anything just looking on,
"What happened are you hurt?" Carey asked the concern showing both in his expression and his voice. Before Mia responded Carey touched her shoulder tenderly in case it was hurt and the still wet blood came off her shirt and onto his fingers,
"Its not my blood Carey I'm fine there was just some trouble but everything is ok now." Mia said looking him in the eyes and empathically a wave of relief wash over her mind and she knew it had come from Carey which made her smile slightly.
