Thanks you guys so much for the reviews!! You guys are so great! I am thrilled! Hope you like this part too!
Well, on with the story.
"So, what do you think?" asked Shalimar
Brennan was piloting the Double Helix. He turned to stare at her for a second "What do I think about what?"
"This" Brennan stared at her blankly. "This mission, I mean don't you think it is kind of weird?"
"Wait a second, isn't it my job to not trust anyone? When did you become Miss Doubtful?"
She sighed, "I don't know Brennan, I just don't know."
******************
They landed in a shaded area in the woods near the spot where Adam had told them Robert was located. Brennan put the Double Helix in stealth mode and they both exited. It was a five minute walk to the exact location, when they got there they scanned the area hoping he would be outside, but knowing what they would have to do if he wasn't.
Brennan looked towards the building.
"After you" ,he said.
"Thank you so much" she answered rolling her eyes and walking in the direction of the building.
They entered the building to find it dark, but the moonlight illuminated it slightly. It was huge, two floors, with doors everywhere.
Shalimar looked around for stairs. "I'll take up, you take down" she instructed.
"Sure, why not" he answered.
She found a stairway in the corner of the structure and went from door to door, each time finding nothing. Brennan had just about the same luck.
"Hey, Brennan?" Shalimar called over the comlink.
"Yeah, what is it?" he answered
"I don't think he's here."
"I know, we've been at it for 20 minutes and we still can't find any trace of him."
"Let's get out of here, contact Adam, and tell him what is going on"
"Great, let's go"
He set of to the staircase where he had seen her climb up and waited for her. After a bit , she emerged from the hallway leading to the staircase and came down. They were about to head out of the building , when the sprinklers went off. Almost simultaneously the lights came on also.
"Damn it!!" yelled Brennan. He and Shalimar were both getting soaked.
They quickly made an exit, bursting through the door to see themselves surrounded by GSA agents.
"Great" said Shalimar sarcastically as they swiftly sprung into action.
Brennan who couldn't use his powers was fighting off about five, while Shalimar had about four to handle for herself. She was doing pretty well, doing backflips and knocking them unconscious, one by one. Brennan, on the other, wasn't doing so good. After Shalimar was only down to two agents, she heard a loud bang and Brennan scream.
Shalimar turned and saw Brennan on his knees holding the left side of his upper abdomen, pain and shock etched in his face.
"Brennan!!" she screamed finishing off the guys she had been fighting. When she was satisfied they would be down for a while, she ran over to him.
She knocked off two more agents that were still hovering over him and went to his side. He could only looked at her with bright eyes. She uncovered his hands to see blood covering all of his side and a hole about the size of a quarter. He took that moment to collapse. She caught him before he could fully crumple to the ground. She wondered why she hadn't noticed that one of those bastards had had a gun on them.
"Brennan!!, Brennan! Concentrate and look at me!" shrieked Shalimar, as she tried to stop him from bleeding.
He turned glazed eyes on her, "Sha-Shalimar?"
"Yeah, its me don't worry, we'll get you out of here." She turned to see the agents getting up.
"Come on Brennan, we have to go now!"
"Okay" he breathed out.
Shalimar looked into his eyes, there was something terribly amiss with him, other than the obvious of course. His chest was heaving and she could hear faint wheezing. She would deal with it later, when they were far away from these guys. She half dragged, half carried him into the woods, hoping they could make it to the Double Helix, before the agents got their hands on them……..all the while Brennan was still bleeding.
So? Do I have to ask again? I will anyway, R&R please.
