" Having to wake up at dawn is one thing, but leaving without seeing my kids is just cruel. This had better be important!" Emma said furiously walking into one of the safe houses. It took her two hours to get there and she hadn't even had her morning tea.
"Good morning sunshine!" said Noah, one of the new Mutant X recruits. He always seemed to find joy in other peoples misery.
"Shut up!" Emma hissed walking to the back. Noah always seemed to make her want to slam his face against a brick wall. She almost succeeded once, after he came onto her the first time she met him, but he phased right through the wall. She continued walking until she got to the kitchen where she was greeted by the scent of lemon tea, her favorite. She smiled at Sam, another recruit who lived at the house permanently as she handed her a mug.
"How did you know?" Emma asked taking a small sip. Sam pointed at her own head and said, "Psionic remember."
"So what's the big emergency that I had to drag myself out of bed before the birds for?" Emma asked her.
"Three things." Sam held up three fingers. " First, we've got two elementals that need new identifications and backrounds."
"That's nothing new. I'm not needed for that."
"Second, there are four new psionics that need guidance, a little help here and there to help them block out everyones thoughts when they're in crowded areas."
"Again, not needed for that. You can do it." Emma's patience was wearing thin.
"And third, Adam wants you, Noah and Jesse to stake out some government facility place that may be helping to fund terrorists construct a new virus or something that could wipe out an entire city. I don't remember the whole thing since I tend to tune Adam out sometimes. I don't know why he just doesn't talk straight, not all of us are scientist you know. Anyway, ask Jesse or Noah about it they should know." Sam said finally taking a breath. She talked extraordinarily fast and sometimes Emma just couldn't keep up with her. Sam's a bit of a space case.
"Couldn't you have just told me the last part first?"
"The last part of what?"
"Forget it. Where's Jesse?"
"I don't know, but last I heard he was on his way here. Why? Don't want to talk to Noah?"
"No one does. Call me when Jesse gets here. I'll be in the computer room." handing her the empty mug, Emma made her way to the computer room. She logged on and checked her messages. There were only two. One from Eden who would email her a good morning whenever she had to leave before she woke up for school. Those always brightened her day. The next one was from an unknown sender marked URGENT. Curiosity taking over, she opened it.
The message read; Peek-a-Boo
I found you.
Welcome to hell!!
Emma felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end. She tried to track down the email, but couldn't find who or where it was sent from. Everytime she tried an array of pop-ups with the words ' I found you! would cover up the screen. Emma shut off the monitor horrified at the messages. She new who they came from and that knowledge brought a feeling of terror and panic that she hadn't felt in nearly twenty years. She stood up and backed away from the computer.
no this is a prank.. Emma thought. she's dead...I know she is, i saw her myself...she couldn't of survived......she didn't...she......she found me. She felt numb all of sudden and the oxygen in the room seemed to be rapidly decreasing . Then everything went black as Emma collapsed.
To be continued...
This seems like a good place to stop. Now for all that reviewed,
