Gelf, this is the set up, you kinda gave me the idea with your review, much more to come, I just hope I do it right. Feel free to e-mail me anything you think I need to know about Rabbit Feral's, k?
This is short, but good, in my opinion,lol.
And news on the laptop front, got in Wednesday, and now I have to get it repaired, long story, but I should get it back in a week or so, and then as promised one chapter a day for one week, but until then I will post at least 2 chapters in the next couple of weeks, if not more.
Also this chapter contains some pretty big clues, give you a cookie if you guess right.
Chapter 24: Rage Unleashed
The room was dark and the moonlight surrounded a silhouette of a woman. She was looking out the window as the rain pelted on the window. The day at been as miserable as the night, but somehow the rain had had a calming affect. Lulu stood there with tears running down her face. Today she had buried her best friend, 'No wait, not bury, cremate, cause that's what Shell wanted.'
Shell, why you? why did you have to die? why were you killed?
You never hurt anyone unless they hurt you first. Why wasn't I there to protect you? How could I sleep through that?
You were always there for me, and I you, but not when you needed me. I swore to you that I would protect you and keep you safe from harm. I was the strong one, I was the fighter, you were the innocent one.
I bet you never knew that it was you that gave me strength, something to fight for. I am I ever going to go on without you.
I just want to die...
But I won't, not until I kill the person responsible for killing you.
Shell, I will avenge your death, or die trying...
Lulu grabbed her jacket and walked out of the door bumping into Emma on the way out.
"Lulu? Where are you going?"
Lulu turned around angrily, "You can read me, you tell me!" she continued walking.
Emma was hit with a strong feeling of anger and hate.
"Lulu, wait!"
"Stay out of my way!"
"Look, we'll find out who did this."
"Yeah, and by then well all be dead, no thanks!"
"Lulu, please stop!" said Emma as she stepped in front of Lulu.
"Get out of my way! Shell was my best friend, and I am going to kill the son of a b..."
"Lulu, calm down, Shelly wouldn't want you to go off half cocked and get yourself killed!"
"Shelly isn't here, is she?" said Lulu, with angry tears rolling down her cheek. "Move Emma, or I will hurt you!"
"Lulu, pl.." as she was speaking Lulu angrily kicked Emma hard in the stomach, sending the young Psionic to the ground.
"I'm sorry Emma, please forgive me, but I have to do this." said Lulu as she took off running toward the Helix.
Emma scrambled to her feet and yelled into her com-ring, "Lulu's running for the Helix, stop her!" and she fell to the floor on her knees.
She heard the others running toward her, some ran past her, but Mike ran right to her, "Em are you all right?"
"Yea, go after her!"
"They can go, I'm staying with you, what happened? Did she attack you?"
"Yeah, but it's not what you think, she wanted to leave, to go after who she thinks killed Shelly, and I wouldn't let her, so she kicked me in order to leave."
"Who does she think killed Shelly, I mean she must not be thinking clearly."
"What do you mean?"
"The killer is here in Haven, not out there." he said sadly. "The traitor is one of us here."
"Your right, but she's so messed up right now."
Shal came running back from the Helix toward Emma, "Are you all right?"
"Yeah, did you catch her?"
"No, she's gone. Have any idea where she's going?"
"No, and the bad news is, neither does she."
Agent X turned on her laptop and logged into her Yahoo account. She had tried very hard not to get caught online checking or sending her e-mail. But she was lucky cause for now everyone was in Jesse's room, or in the lab with Emma.
They had just gotten through with the funeral for Shelly that morning, her ashes were being sent back to her parents. She was sad to see one of her friends die, but it was her mission to make sure her plan worked, it was just too bad if someone got in her way.
She scanned down and deleted her spam. An e-mail caught her eyes, it was in German:
Oberstes Geheimnis(Top Secret)
She looks up to make sure no one was coming and clicks to open the e-mail.
Dear Gabriella,
I received your e-mail sis, I trust everything is all right and going as planned. From your last e-mail I gathered you were nervous you would be caught before our plan has been completed. I have taken new steps to make sure that doesn't happen, cause we have to complete this. Is everything all right? I also got the feeling you weren't telling me something.
I am setting things up to take Mutant X in the wrong direction, and the clues I am sending to that dumb blonde, she is missing completely.SomehowI thought she would be smarter
Stay safe and begin the next phase of our plan.
And hit me back to tell me how you are, but be careful that no one catches you.
Love your brother,
Ashley
Gabriella closes the e-mail, 'I miss being called Gabriella'
She opens up a new e-mail and writes her brother back.
Dear Ash,
You know me so well, there was something I didn't say, sit down. Major news here, I almost got our plan ruined. I didn't know that they had a part of the Dominion database here, or that Jesse knew German. Things you could have warned me about!
I had to stab Jess to keep him from finding Brennan and Mari before we were ready for them. Shelly is dead, Jesse will live though.
Ashley, we need to speed things up. Enough with the clues, let's just do something big, getting tired of waiting for this plan to work.
I want to crush Mutant X!
Love, Gaby.
Gabriella uses the software she used to delete her movements online. She shut off her laptop and took her black leather jacket off the back of the chair and walked out of the living room and left Haven.
One Week later...
Shalimar came through the door of the living room. She had stayed with Emma till she fell asleep. Her mind was racing, she was worried about Emma and Lulu, even though she had hurt Emma, Shal knew it was out of pain.Not watching where she was going, she ran into someone and fell back onto her butt, "Ouch!"
"You can say that again." said Jesse who was lying on the floor on his back.
"Jesse! Are you ok? she said quickly getting up and moving to his side. They had all been trying so hard not to hurt him since the attack.
"Yeah. Hey did you get the tag number on the truck that just hit me?"
"No silly. What are doing up?"
"Just walking around, or lying down," he laughs as Shal helps him get to his feet. "So tired of being helped by people."
"Well enjoy it while it last, cause it ends the minute Adam gives us the OK."
"Great, can't wait." he groaned.
"Where's Dasi?"
"Don't know, I yelled at her and she left Haven."
"Why did you yell at her this time, you jerk."
"I don't know."
"Don't tell me that."
"All right I guess I am mad at her for not being here when I needed her."
"Understandable, has she told you where she was?"
"Some warehouse with Adam, don't know any more details than that."
"Surely they didn't go on a mission together, alone I mean."
"Your right, something about he needed something, and she wanted to get out for awhile."
"Your apologizing when she gets back!"
"I will, as soon as she comes home. Maybe we can do that thing she wanted to do before we had our fight."
"What was that?"
"Hm...well we were kissing and..."
"Nevermind, don't want to know about it,"she laughs. Suddenly turning serious, "Should you be doing that this soon after your attack?"
"Thought you said you didn't want to know."
"OK, changing subject, have you told her your little secret yet?"
"No."
"Jesse you have to tell her."
"I know, but I don't want to hurt her."
"Lying to her is hurting her."
"Yeah, your right. But to be honest, I'm really confused right now, I don't even know the truth anymore."
"Yes you do, and after our talk, I have no doubt that you were right." she said moving to walk with him to the kitchen.
Dasi standing in the hallway listening had heard everything. 'I wish I knew this secret they were keeping from me. What could it be? Why does he trust Shal with it and not me? I mean I know they are close, but why her and not me?
What if the secret is that he loves Shal?
But he said he loved me. But then again, that was after I heard him and Shal in the hospital talking about the secret.
Wait I'm Psionic, why can't I just try to sense the secret.
I mean in the past I've tried, but his mental walls were so high that I couldn't get in.
But not if he's asleep.'
She thinks as she turns to go to bed.
Jesse and Shalimar head to the kitchen, "Jesse, you know the truth, and so do I."
"You mean you checked?"
"Yeah, after we got home, I ran a search through our database, and the Dominions. You were right."
"So he didn't die."
"I couldn't find whether he did or not."
"Do you realize what this means?"
"Yeah I do." and just under her voice she added, "I just don't think you do."
"We need to find him." he said turning around heading back to the living room toward the computer. "And find out for sure."
"You need to tell Dasi."
"Not till I know for sure, like I said don't want to hurt her, or in this case, get her hopes up."
"Yeah, if your right and her brother is alive, she will be very happy. But if your wrong, she will live his death all over again." Shal said, secretly wondering why Jesse wasn'tthinking about the big picture, if Gerlad wasalive, that could mean Dasi lied, which could mean Dasi is thetraitor, she quickly added, "Yeah, you should keep it from her until you know for sure."
"Right, thank for understanding."
"Jesse you need to rest, so let me look for you. If I get lost, I'll get Max to help me."
"Shal, I need to do this."
"But.."
"Shal, please?"
"All right, but don't overdue it. I'll get you some coffee."
"Thanks."
10 minutes later...
"Here you go Jesse," says Shalimar has she hands Jesse a cup of coffee."
"Thanks."
"Find anything yet?"
"Yeah, that Max has screwed up my system."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean he has everything changed from the way I had it." says Jesse. "He has even changed some passwords, which I'll have to ask him about tomorrow."
"I guess that kinda makes sense, you two both have your own way of doing things. He didn't know how long you would be down, so he probably just changed it to make it easier for himself."
"That's cool. I probably would have done the same thing if I were in his shoes right now."
"Can you work with his system?"
"Of course, but as soon as I get back full-time, I am changing it back."
"Figures."
"Hey Lexa was telling me that your receiving clues about where Brennan and Mari are."
"Yeah, but nothing that helps."
"She told me about the kiss."
"Oh."
"He loves you Shal."
"Funny way of showing it."
"It was just a kiss."
"No it was more, before we left for the mission, the first one, I caught him looking at Mari in her pajamas. And that look was very sexual, and it told me that he wants her."
"Shal..."
"No, I don't want to hear it. When we get them back, I am letting him go. He can be with her, if he reallywants her."
"But isn't that going to be hard to be here working with them?"
"In the beginning maybe, yeah, but we're adults."
"Does that mean I can't beat him up for hurting you?"
"I didn't say that." she smiled. "But I don't need you fighting my battles for me."
"I know, but I love you Shal, and hate when people hurt you."
"Love you too, Jess." she said hugging him. "Hey I'm going to check to see if I got another clue and go to bed."
"Ok, use the other computer."
"All right."
"Let me know if you get another one."
"Ok." she says as she sits down in front of the computer. "Hey Jess, I got something."
Jesse gets up and walks around the counter and looks at the monitor. There was a e-mail there saying :Clue for blonde kitten
"Open it!"
Dear Ms. Fox,
Attached you will find something you might find interesting.
Signed
A.B
Shal opens the attachment. It is a receipt from . "It a receipt for $6,000. What the crap is this supposed to be?"
"Does it say who received it?"
"No, it's been blacked out."
"Is there an account number, or wait a tracking number?"
"No."
"Confirmation number?"
"Give it to me." he said walking around to his computer."
"36548749854"
"That can't be right." said Jesse.
"What?" she asked coming around to his side.
"That's our account." he said. "Mutant X's account."
"You mean the top secret one that only Adam knows the password too?"
"Yeah, that one. But after he died last year I hacked it and changed it, and I only know the password, and I never sent $6,000 to anyone."
"What about Max? You said he changed some of your passwords."
"I will talk with him about it."
"Does it say who received it?"
"S&L Truffles."
"Truffles?"
"Yeah."
"That's Lulu and Shelly's company. They grow and sell truffles."
"How did they get my password, I mean if Max didn't give it to them."
"I don't know, but I think we should keep out eyes on Max and Lulu, if and when she returns, but I can't imagine Lulu killing Shelly, she loved that girl, if you know what I mean."
"You mean they were lovers?"
"Yeah, your such a guy, you didn't even notice," she laughed. "You don't really believe Lulu is a traitor, I don't, her pain was real when Shelly was killed. I mean she kicked Emma so hard in the stomach that she cracked 3 ribs, that says something to me about her pain"
"I don't know,but either they both were traitors, or Lulu must be, cause no one could have guessed my password."
"Max guessed mine, you know my AOL account."
"Yeah, your password is Brennan."
"How did you know?"
"Guessed."
"Oh shut up, I changed it anyway."
"To what? Sanctuary?"
Her face froze, "How did...? Oh never mind, I am going to bed."
"Goodnight Shal."
"Night Jesse, and go to bed."
"Yes mom." he said jokingly. "Dasi should be home anyway." he said turning off the computer and walking to his room.
ok that is it for now, as I said before another chapter or two in the next week or so. And please keep your fingers crossed or pray for my laptop, I really need it!
Review!
