Chapter 4: A Little Talk
Brennan was walking home from the liquor store when his cell started to ring. He brought it out of his pocket and waited a few seconds, thinking of how his ring tone was the first song that Shalimar and him had danced too.
"She knows" Emma replied scared of what Shal might do, when Brennan answered his phone.
"What do you mean she knows" he asked in a really confused sound of voice.
"Shalimar, she knows" Emma was able to say between breaths.
"Well how the hell did she figure it out, you didn't tell her did you?" he asked suspiciously.
"No I didn't tell her, were you following her and Jess when they came out of the theatre?" she asked trying to see if it was really him that Shal found.
"Yeah, why?" he asked in perplexity.
"Ugh, you dip shit" Emma exclaimed in pure annoyance.
"What did I do now?" Brennan asked in a complaining tone of voice.
"She figured it out that way, she followed you" Emma explained.
"Jesus Christ" replied Brennan who was now at his room at the Best Western.
When he opened the door he had the pleasure of noticing Shalimar sitting on the bed. Brennan dropped the bag of beer he had in his hands and pressed the turn off button on his cell phone. Shalimar just stood up, ambled toward Brennan and slapped him in the face.
"Miss me" Shalimar asked in a sarcastic voice.
"Sure" Brennan replied rubbing at his face, where Shal's hand had collided with his cheek.
"Oh come on Brennan this has been fun since the day that you established that you don't want to be with me" Shal retorted, clearly furious.
"That's not how it was" Brennan tried to explain.
"Oh really that's how you made it look" Shalimar remarked.
Outside the window and on the building next to the Best Western, someone was watching Shalimar severely.
"Seriously Brennan, how did you want me to think of it" Shalimar said her voice escalated.
"Shal please" Brennan begged for just one word in this argument.
"Don't, I'm angry as it is" Shalimar's voice was now fully escalated (at least there was no one in the motel).
The man that was watching Shalimar moved to see her face but didn't really succeed.
"Just let me ask you this, why did you get Emma into this?" Shalimar asked.
"She was the one who found me, since I had an extra com-link that only she knew about" Brennan explained how Emma got into this whole big mess.
"Ok let's just get one thing straight, was it me or did you just not love me" she asked while tears were dripping off her face.
"No that's not it" Brennan tried to comfort her but Shal just pushed him away.
"Becky is going to love this" Shalimar said after her little laugh.
"Becky, my ex Becky" Brennan asked.
"Yeah, I've actually become friends with her and Conner, have you seen Conner since they left" Shalimar asked.
Brennan just didn't answer.
"This is how many times you have broken my heart now" Shalimar jumped the subject.
"Don't, just don't" Brennan asked but Shal kept going.
"There was Lorna, Becky, Miranda, Riley, Lexa and I can't remember the others" Shal continued.
"Don't do this?" Brennan pleaded.
Shalimar noticed the note on the bed and went to reach for it.
"No don't" Brennan begged.
Shalimar picked up the note and read it, brought her fragile hand up to her mouth and spoke through her com-link.
"Jess are you there?" Shal asked.
"Yeah Shal, what's up?" Jesse asked.
"Jess, do you remember Ian?" Shalimar asked in a worried, for herself, voice.
"Yeah, why?" Jess asked getting mystified.
"He's back" was all Shal said before dropping the note and heading for the door.
"Who's Ian?" Brennan asked in pure puzzlement.
"Leave me alone" Shalimar said before leaving.
Shalimar was at the door heading outside when a man dressed in black, and wearing a ski mask came up behind her and put chloroform on her mouth till she past out.
