Chapter 5
"Emma!" Brennan called as he watched the red head bolt up the stairs. She ignored him and he flinched at the sound of her door being slammed.
"Did I miss something?" He asked turning to look at Shalimar and Adam. Brennan's eyes narrowed, they couldn't have looked guiltier if they were staring at the wall next to them and whistling.
"What do you guys know that I don't." he demanded.
"Jesse has had feelings for Emma for a really long time and believe it or not her looks up to you, and then when you got Emma from right under his nose it practically threw him into a nose dive spinning out of control." Shalimar said sadly.
She loved her friends and the last thing she wanted was inner turmoil and unhappiness between them.
Brennan stood there for a moment just staring at her, "That was very descriptive." He said finally. Shalimar raised her eyebrow at him and smirked.
"This is no time for playful banter." Adam said suddenly.
"What do you mean? He left on his own and there's no way for us to find him." Brennan said.
"Well we have to because once the GSA agents find out he's alone and highly vulnerable, they'll be after him." Adam said as he turned and headed for the labs.
Brennan took one last look up the stairs and followed Shalimar and Adam.
Emma gazed at the empty space where her picture of her and Jesse had once sat. She felt horrible at hurting him and she had never had any intention of doing so.
Now he was gone and she was afraid she'd never see him again. Or worse what if he hated her?
Emma's eyes widened and began darting around in panic. It would crush her if one of her friends began hating her.
She brushed her hand against the cold hard wood dresser and sighed. She had to find him and make him forgive her, and she had to do it fast before something horrible happened.
Emma, Emma, Emma, the name kept bouncing around in his head and it was driving him nuts.
He needed to find some place where he could let really loud music blow her name out of his mind, at least for a while.
He drove out to the edge of town and stopped in front of a bar. He could hear the loud rock music pouring out from within the bar and he eagerly threw himself into the building.
He gazed around and finally settled on an empty space at the bar. He sat down and ordered a beer.
When it was brought to him he turned to face the band.
The lead singer was a petite girl with raven black hair that hung down her back and ended just above her hips.
She was swaying back and forth and he could almost feel the emotion rolling off of her and apparently he wasn't the only one.
There were actually two big rough looking men crying at a corner table. He looked up at her again and she caught his gaze. They stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity but was actually half a second.
"You've noticed Sarina huh?" a female voice said from beside him.
He turned to meet the eyes of one of the waitresses, "Who?" he asked stupidly.
"Sarina. She catches everyone's eye at some point. Such a sweet little thing. We watch out for each other." She said before abruptly returning to work.
Jesse watched her go with a quizzical look on his face and he couldn't help wondering if that last bit had been a threat.
He finished his fourth drink and stood up the band had already long since left the stage and Sarina had disappeared.
He stumbled his way to the door but was stopped when the bartender grabbed his arm to steady him.
"You aren't about to go and drive are ya?" he asked.
"I'm fine, I'm not drunk." Jesse said grabbing a hold of a barstool to stop himself from planting his face in the ground.
"Really what do you call it?" a voice asked from behind him.
He half turned to see the speaker and answered, "I'm comfortable." Sarina smirked as his tongue stumbled over the word.
"Don't worry about it Mike I'll take care of this dumb bastard. She said her voice filled with amusement.
"Alright but you be careful now, men can become mean creatures when they're drunk."
"I ain't drunk!" Jesse yelled as he lurched out the door followed by Sarina who was barely keeping her laughter in.
