Jesse's mind raced as he walked back over to his computer desk. He stood against the table for a few minutes wondering if he should get back to work trying to find Emma and Brennan or talk to Adam about Shalimar's sudden peculiar behavior. Knowing this would probably all be over much sooner if he could locate the missing mutants he sat himself down and continued on his search.

Nearly an hour of unsuccessful searching had passed and Jesse began to wonder again. Unable to help the fact the feral's behavior had worried him he stood up, deciding he was too concerned for Shalimar to sit back any longer. He pushed himself off the computer desk and headed to the lab where Adam was still checking tests.

"Adam," Jesse said upon joining him in the lab. "I'm concerned about Shalimar."

"What's wrong?"

"I walked in on her and Lara um…kissing. I think she's in denial about this whole Emma thing and I'm worried about her."

"I think Shalimar's going through a tough time right now. I think it's best we just give her some time while we try and work this out."

"I don't know, Adam, I got a weird feeling from her. I think you should run some tests on her."

"Well I guess it couldn't hurt to be safe," he agreed deciding it was best to run some tests on the girls as soon as possible. "Shalimar, are you there?" he called through his comlink.

"What is that?" Jesse asked stepping over to the display screen. "The Helix is taking off."

"What?" Adam turned to confirm the statement and soon saw that the Helix was in fact departing from Sanctuary at that moment. "Shalimar," he called again this time louder. "Shalimar, answer me."

"What do you want?" the feral's demanding voice replied.

"Shalimar, what are you doing?"

"Lara and I are taking a little break."

"Shalimar, I want you and Lara to come back here immediately. I want to run some tests on you both and make sure you weren't influenced by your attackers."

"We're fine, Adam," the feral assured leaning over to kiss Lara on the cheek. It wasn't enough to sustain her however and she reached back over to pull the red head into a full kiss, instantly thanking herself for inviting her as everything she'd been missing came back to her in wet, tasty passion.

"Shalimar-"

"I'll call you after the wedding ok," Shalimar promised smiling over at her new fiancé.

"Wedding?" Adam questioned in total shock. "Shalimar, I think you and Lara are making a mistake," he said trying to talk some sense into the feral already suspicious of her impulsive behavior.

"Yeah I guess I got a little carried away, Adam, for a second there I thought I was an adult," the feral's sarcastic tone replied upon hearing his disapproving statement.

"Shalimar, I don't think you're thinking clearly right now. You should bring Lara back here as soon-"

"Thanks for your concern, Adam, but I've got everything under control. I'll talk to you later."

Adam sighed as the connection to the helix was terminated by the feral and turned back to Jesse.

"Jesse, I think you should go after them."

"What a minute, Adam, I don't think that's such a good idea. I was there last time Shalimar went after Brennan and Emma. I really don't want to fight her, Adam, and I don't think she wants to come home right now. Finding Emma and Brennan should be our top priority right now since we already know Brennan's been given some kind of steroid," Jesse reminded. He'd much rather sit at the computer trying to locate the mission psionic and elemental than hunt down Shalimar and probably get his ass kicked for it.

"Alright," Adam agreed much to Jesse's surprise. "We'll work on finding them."

"I can't believe we're finally getting married," Lara remarked out of excitement as she and Shalimar walked down the street towards the church.

Shalimar smiled and pulled the woman closer enjoying the sweet sensations of her fingers laced with her own. She could feel the red head's heart beat increasing through her fingers as her own pulse raced at the excitement running through her veins.

"Well it's long over due," the feral informed leaning to kiss her fiancé once again. "Can you believe Adam? Emma cheats on me and marries Brennan and just because we realize we still love each other it's us he wants to do tests on."

"Well I think he just has the best intentions."

"Yeah well I'm glad he's not here to see this," she informed remembering the reason why she'd left her comlink in the Helix. "This is defiantly not a time I want one of his pep talks or lectures."

"But now there's not gonna be anyone to see us get married," the red head reminded.

"Yeah but I think it's best Jesse isn't here and Adam too. If he was here who knows what he'd do, but I'm sure it would be boring."

Lara chuckled at the accusation and ran her hand up the feral's shirt slipping underneath to stroke the warm flesh of the blonde.

"So where are you taking me on our honeymoon?"

The red head's sexy voice and gleam only further enraptured the feral who fought the urge to shove her behind a bush right then and there. A small groan escaped her lips as Lara's fingers began tracing themselves across the feral's already overly eager nipples.

"At this rate I'll be surprised if we can make it to a Motel 6," the feral replied her voice deeper than usual as Lara's hand continued it's tender search on her body.

As the two continued walking down the street anxiously awaiting to be joined in holy matrimony Shalimar suddenly stopped as her feral senses forewarned her of nearby danger.

"Shalimar, what is it?" Lara asked frightened at the yellow-eyed woman beside her. "What's wrong?"

"We're being followed."

The statement sent chills up Lara's spine and she turned to look behind them finding no one in sight. She watched the expression on the feral's face and before she could ask another question found herself being shoved into the nearby bush beside the sidewalk. She sat herself off and brushed the dirt off her pants before looking to Shalimar to see her fighting two men. She watched as six more men approached from the distance and closed in on the feral who didn't even seem to break a sweat as she took each and every one of them out.

Ducking a punch from one of her attackers Shalimar leaned forward to deliver a devastating kick to his face instantly sending him to the ground. She whipped around to block the incoming blow from another man and grabbed his arm twisting it behind his back the cracking sound shooting through the air as she pushed him forward into the cement.

Being as eight men was never a challenge for her she quickly turned back to where Lara was only to find the red head no where in sight. As panic bean to sweep over her she turned her feral eyes all over the street and sidewalk looking for any sign of the woman. How could she have left so soon? It had only taken her a couple minutes to dispose of her attackers.

"Lara!" she called out as she ran up and down the sidewalk searching for her. She stopped finally sighing in defeat beating herself up for allowing her to be taken. How could she allow her fiancé to be taken like that? She couldn't help but question herself. She thought if she hadn't acted so impulsive in the fight she might have been able to keep a better eye on her. Realizing she had no other options at the moment she ran back to the Helix and prepared to head back to Sanctuary.
