Sorry this part, took so long. I think my teachers are in on a conspiracy! I think they band together to give us more work.
Anyway, without further ado (is that how you spell it? god, I suck at spelling!)
"Jesse!!" cried Shalimar over the comlink. "Jesse, can you hear me?"
"Yeah, what's wrong" his voice laced with concern.
"Brennan, he's hurt bad and we still got GSA agents on our tail."
"Tell, me what's wrong?" Adams panicked voice came on.
"He was shot."
"Are you guys on the run now?"
"Yeah, we are but I found a ditch that we could hide in for a bit. Brennan can barely walk, yet alone out run the GSA right now." She stroked Brennan's face. He was gasping and coughing raggedly. Wincing every time he was subjected to it. His arm was wrapped tightly around his wound, though the bleeding had stopped for now.
"God Adam, it's bad."
"Listen to me, now is not the time to panic." *who am I trying to convince?* he thought to himself. "You have to get back to the Double Helix and get out of there now! If what I think happened, then he doesn't have much time, okay!"
"You have to go" a wheezy voice called to her. Shalimar turned to Brennan who was looking straight at here with a determined look on is face.
"What did you say?" she asked.
"I said… you…have…to…go," he wheezed out again.
"See, that would be a problem because you can barely stand right now" she answered knowing what he was going to say next.
****************
"Jesse, Emma, I think you might have to go help them out."
"We're on it" they answered at the same time.
"Take the car and I'll give you the coordinates, okay"
"Sure, lets go Emma"
They both vaulted out the door, to the garage and grabbed a car. Adam relayed the coordinates as Jesse was driving. Jesse looked back at it and realized that it wasn't too far, although they would have to park the car and walk for a bit.
*Damn it* thought Jesse *we don't have time for this*
Emma turned to him and shook her head.
Back at Sanctuary Adam was still talking to Shalimar.
"Shalimar, if you can't get out of there, just wait. Emma and Jesse are on there way………how's Brennan?" he asked.
"Not good, Adam"
*****************
"I want you to go" Brennan whispered. Right now that was all that he could afford.
"Like I said before, you can barely stand and if you think I'm going by myself, you go another thing coming."
"You have to" he stated.
She was steadily losing her temper. "No, actually I don't. It's my choice and I say that I'm not going!"
She held his gaze rebelliously, daring him to test her. He just broke eye contact knowing he would never win.
"Let's go"
"What do you mean, let's go?" she asked astounded. "You've been shot and can barely breathe, we're waiting here." *God, why does he have to get me so mad* she thought to herself.
"We can't, they'll be here soon if we don't keep moving" he raised his voice only to cause another bout of coughing, which left him doubled over in pain. When he was done, he was breathing harder than he had a while before. He lifted his head up to face Shalimar when she noticed little drops of blood on his lips.
"Okay, just calm down." She got up and look around, using her feral senses to check if anyone was around. She turned back around to say that the coast was clear when she saw Brennan trying to get up by himself. He was having some trouble, groaning as he tried to stand.
"Here, let me help you" Shalimar grabbed him around the waist, carefully trying to avoid his injury.
"Thanks" he said gasping in pain.
*********************
"Are we almost there Emma?" Jesse was getting anxious to find them.
She looked down at the coordinates in her hands. "Yeah, almost got a fix on them and I can feel them as well, their near."
Just as they were talking, Emma saw an agent appear out of nowhere. "Jesse get down!" she whispered hurriedly. They both dodged behind a tree. When they were sure the agent was gone they tried to contact Shalimar.
"Hey Shal, can you hear me?"
"Yeah, I can Jesse. Where are you?"
"Not too far off, from where you guys are just stay still, ok?"
"Brennan, thinks its better if we keep moving?"
"Wait a second, Brennan's walking?" he asked incredulously. "I thought you said he was shot"
"He is, but that doesn't mean he isn't still as hardheaded as ever."
"Hey, I'm still here you know?" Jesse and Emma heard Brennan speak.
They both grinned, it was quickly wiped off their faces when they heard Shalimar scream.
"Run!!!" she yelled. Then there was nothing but silence.
R & R Please!!!!!!!!!! I need them to survive!!
