Chapter 3, folks.
-
Shalimar lay in the bed and couldn't sleep. All she could think about was Emma. Sweet, perfect Emma. She had to find a way she could show Emma how she felt, but most importantly, she had to find out if Emma liked her, because if she didn't, then she would have to come up with a serious strategy. At least the way Emma had looked at her was a positive thing. She could definitely exploit that. In fact, that gave her a great idea…
She carefully got out of bed, not wanting to wake Emma, and went dressed silently. Before she left the room she had to stop and look at Emma. She couldn't believe how peaceful and happy she looked, but that just made her more confident about her plan. She hardly managed to pull away from the sight of Emma lying in the bed. God, how wonderful it would be if she could just go over to her and touch those lips… She was actually taking a step towards Emma before she managed to regain control of herself and leave the room.

"Hey, Shal. I thought you were resting."
"Oh, hi Brennan. I just have a thing I need to do."
"Really. Well, what is it?"
"It's none of your business."
"How are you feeling?"
"Fine, why?"
"Just wanted to make sure you're alright"
"Well, I'm great, so if you'll excuse me I have some things to take care of."
"Hm, weird." Brennan sighted, "I'm never going to understand her."

Emma woke to an empty bed.
"Shal?" She sat up and looked around. She stood up and quickly got dressed.
When she entered the main room, she saw Brennan and Jesse discussing something on the computer and went over to them.
"Hey, guys. Do you know where Shal is?"
"She should be around somewhere! Mentioned something about a thing she had to do."
"Okay, I'll just go see Adam in the lab."
-
Hey Adam, has Shal been here?"
"No, I thought she was resting?"
"Yeah well, apparently she didn't need to-"
"Hey, what are you two talking about?" Shalimar walked in looking, at least from Emma's point of view, stunning."
"We were talking about you and how you should have rested," Adam said with a serious tone.
Oh…I wasn't tired, so I figured I should do something useful instead."
"And what is the useful thing you did?"
"It was something personal, Adam."
She looked at Emma with a smile. "And you, my lady, have to help me with something."
"What?"
"You have to come with me. I want to show you something."
"Okay, what is it?"
"It's a secret. We're leaving in an hour."
"Is it outside Sanctuary?"
"Yes, it is," Shal turned to Adam. "I don't know how long we'll be gone."
"Wait, wait, wait…I don't like that you're running of like that after what happened to you."
"Don't worry Adam. If you let me do this, I promise that you can keep me in your lab for all the scans and tests you need."
Adam sighted, "I guess I don't really have a choice."
"No, you don't," Shal turned and left a confused Adam and a questioning Emma. She had to smile at how smooth that had gone. If only the rest of her plan worked, this could be the best day of her life…
