Disclaimer: I was busy, but unfortunately I wasn't off buying Mutant X. Therefore, I still do not own them or anything else, except a busy schedule.

Chapter Three: Help

"Her new mutant DNA is off." Jesse explained, looking at the results. "She's mutating out of control?" Brennan asked concerned. "Yeah, it seems that way." Jesse answered, turning around to face Emma and Brennan. "Well, what are we going to do to get her stable?" Emma asked looking from Brennan to Jesse.

"I don't know." Jesse said honestly. "Without Adam here, I don't know if we can..." Jesse started to explain but was cut off by Brennan. "Jess, Adam isn't an option right now. We have to figure something out on our own. I just don't know where to start." Brennan said miserably. "We have to keep her sedated until we have a plan." Emma said. "She could easily hurt someone else." The others agreed and Jesse left to check on Shalimar.

Emma and Brennan were in the kitchen when Jesse came running in. "Jess, what is it?" Emma asked studying the panting molecular. "Shal," Jesse gasped, "sh-she's gone." Jesse finished and took a few deep breaths. "What?!" Brennan said jumping up. "How?" Jesse shook his head. "I don't know. There is one more thing." Jesse said. Brennan swallowed hard and Emma chewed her lower lip.

"Just kidding!" Jesse said and laughed. Emma sighed in relief, but Brennan didn't. "That's not funny." He said seriously and punched Jesse in the arm as hard as he could. "Owwwww!" Jesse said grabbing his arm. "Just trying to brighten things up a bit." Brennan sat back down and looked up at Jesse. "How can you 'brighten things up' when Shal is going on a feral frenzy?" Brennan asked.

"She's going to be fine." Jesse assured him. "She's strong and she'll pull through. The dark side won't take her for too long." He said. "I won't let it." Brennan said with a slight smirk.

It was quiet for a moment before Emma spoke up. "So how are we going to do this?" Brennan and Jesse looked at each other and back at Emma. "Any ideas at all?" She asked. "One of Adam's old contacts?" Brennan suggested. "It's worth a try." Emma said and the three set off to the computers.

It took Jesse a few minutes, but he eventually cracked into Adam's contact files. "Robert Parew, deceased." Jesse said reading off the first name. "Jack Nemist, Bill Greun, Peter Micorse," he continued looking for something worth searching for. "Here's a Keith Kingstin." Jesse said pointing to the screen.

Continuing, he read, "Ex-Genomex scientist. Specialized in the study of new mutants. More specifically," he paused, "ferals." Brennan smiled and Emma gently squeezed Jesse's shoulder. "Let's get him on the phone." Brennan said as Jesse connected the computer's phone to Keith's.

"Hello?" The deep voice came on the other end. "Hi, is this Keith Kingstin?" Jesse asked. "This is him." Keith replied. "Who's this?" Jesse didn't answer; instead, he asked Keith another question. "How much did you know about Adam Kane and what he did?" Keith was quiet for a second before saying. "Mutant X? I know all about it." He said. "Why?"

Jesse looked at Brennan and Emma before replying. "This is Mutant X, and we need your help." He explained. "How so?" Keith asked, somewhat excited. "Our friend and team member, a feral, is sick. Unstable." Jesse said. "I see." Keith paused. "And Adam needs my help?" Jesse sighed. "Actually, Adam passed away a few months ago. We need your help." He explained.

Keith didn't say anything for a while. Finally, he cleared his throat and spoke. "Okay. Where are you?" The three mutants exchanged glances before Jesse answered, "We'll pick you up an bring you here." Keith agreed and they were to meet at Mario's Pizzeria in an hour.

"I'll pick him up." Jesse volunteered once the connection was severed. "I'll come to, if that's all right." Emma said looking from Jesse to Brennan. "That's fine as long as Brennan doesn't mind staying here alone with Shal." Jesse said. "I'll be fine." Brennan said with a smile. "But you better save me some pizza." Jesse sighed, but agreed. With that, Emma and Jesse headed off to the garage.

Brennan went to the lab and sat down next to Shalimar. He slipped his hand into hers and kissed her forehead. "You're going to be okay." He said softly. "You have to be." Brennan kissed Shalimar's hand and let it go. Getting up, he made his way to the counter and picked up another sedative. Picking up her right arm, he stroked it gently. "I love you Shal." Brennan said as he injected her with the solution.
