A/N: This is kinda a short chapter, just to tide you guys over for a few days till I can get my next chapter written out.

Thanks for all the reviews, I know I was nasty with Jesse's "death" in last chapter. I put a lot of feeling into and hopefully had all of you going with the scenes of his "death." My main objective, was to make you all think he had died. But I wasn't going to leave it at a cliffhanger, and have all you shippers hunting me down(including my mom!)

Big shout out to Mari (Goldstranger), who answered the call at the end of my last chapter. Give her a big round of applause, for finding herself!! (ClapClap)

Chapter 6: Missing

Lexa opened her eyes. The light hit her eyes, almost blinding her, making her head hurt.

"Morning, Lexa."

"Max? That you?" she said with one arm up over her head to block out the light. Then the light went out.

"Yeah, it's me. Sorry, didn't mean to wake you. Just checking to make sure you were resting alright."

"Thanks. What happened?"

"There was an explosion at the warehouse last night. Everyone is fine, well recovering would be more like it." he said smiling down at her.

"Where's everyone?"

"Emma and the others are gone to the hospital to see Jesse and the twins." Max said, noting the worried look on Lexa's face, added, "Zack if fine, just a concussion. Zane will be fine in a few weeks. Jesse ...is in a coma."

"Oh my God."

"He's doing better. The coma was induced by the doctor's."

"You must think I had something to do with this." she said looking into his eyes.

"Yea, you mean because of what I said before you left. I'm sorry. I know about Leo now. Adam told me about him. You know, if you had told us back then, we would have helped you."

"I know, now.."

"Hindsight is 20/20."

"Yea, but I am sorry for what I did," said Lexa.

"We all do stupid things, Lex. Hey what do you say to some dinner?"

"Depends, did you cook?"

"Yes, and before you say no, I actually learned to cook."

"We'll see. Can you help me get up?"

"Yeah, but take it easy, don't want to rip a stitch, would have to undress you to restitch it."

"You would just love that wouldn't you?" she said smirking.

"As a matter of fact."

Brennan rolled over onto his back. Everything that had happened the night before, the explosion, the ambulance. And now, he was wondering what he was doing on the cold floor. He slowly sat up, noting the pain in his head as he did so.

He was in some sort of room, but it was dark, so he couldn't see anything.

All he could remember was after Lexa had left with the Helix, he and Mari had stayed behind. They had watched the firefighters put out the fire, and the others rode with the police to the hospital. He had decided that maybe they could find something at the warehouse, something in the rubble, to give them a clue as to who set them up.

Before he knew what happened, he had been hit from behind, and woke up here. As he noticed the sun starting to shine through the window, he also noticed the body laying beside him. "Mari!"

"Uh" she moaned.

"Mari, wake up! It's Brennan."

"Where are we?"

"Have no idea."

"What happened, why are we here?"

"After the explosion, we were hit from behind, and brought here. As to the why ..I don't know.."

"Guess we wait and see, then."

"Guess so, you hurt anywhere?" he asked.

"Yea, my head." she snickered. And it made Brennan smile.

"OK, so I guess we doing alright, considering."

"Considering what?"

"That we are prisoners." he said looking over at her. He noticed that she was shivering. "Hey, come here." he said pulling her closer to him. He took off his leather jacket, and wrapped her up in it.

"The other's will come for us, right?" asked Mari.

"Of course they will, they are probably looking for us right now."

"Good," she said as she drifted off to sleep.

Brennan could only hope that he hadn't just lied to Mari. He had no way of knowing if the team was looking for them yet. Or if they even knew they were missing yet .......

Melodie walked into the room where Lexa and Max were eating. "Have you guys seen Brennan or Mari?"

"No, why?" asked Lexa.

"Cause they are missing."

"What?! Are you sure?" asked Max.

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"They stayed behind last night, they were still at the warehouse looking around when I left to bring the Helix back." said Lexa.

"You guys are probably worried about nothing, but I will get Lulu and Shelly out of bed. Maybe we can pick up a scent at the warehouse." said Max.

After Max left the room, Melodie sat down. "Wonder what could have happened to them."

"Don't know, but if the Dominion are behind this, you can bet it's nothing good." answered Lexa.

"Hey you know Lulu and Shelly pretty well, right?" asked Melodie.

"About as well as I know anybody."

"Why are they so similar? I mean I know they are friends and everything, but .."

"Yeah, they are similar. The truth is, they aren't just friends. Their best friends. Ever since they were little kids, Shelly has always protected Lulu from kids picking on her and stuff. Wasn't easy her growing up with white hair. Good thing she dies it now."

"Oh, I had no idea. I guess it will take time for all of us to blend huh?"

"Yeah, your right. Max! Hurry up!" yelled Lexa

"Yes, mom," he said coming back in the room.

"I'm not you mom!"

"No, but you sounded like her!" he said as he walked out the door, followed by Lulu and Shelly

I know it was short, but I said it would be. I am working hard on the next chapter, don't want to keep you all waiting, but don't want to write something that ruins my own story either! Lol.

PS: Note to all characters not invloved in last mission! Get ready! Going to be a bumpy next chapter for you!

Until next timeTBC
