When Shalimar and Brennan had gotten back to Sanctuary, they had analysed the fingerprints and concluded that they belonged to a mutant named Mitch Reynolds.
"Crap. You were right, they thought you were in danger and went out to find you. Now we have no leads." Brennan stated frustrated.
"Look, I'm feeling as guilty as you, maybe even more so, but we need to focus and deal with self-pity later." Shalimar said. She got Lexa and Jesse into this, she was going to get them out. "On Mitch's fingerprints, the computer found traces of liquidised gases. I should be able to smell it, but I didn't or can't now, which means the gas is still unscented."
"So?" Brennan said, feeling a little dim-witted. He was being outsmarted by a blonde, not that he had anything against this particular blonde.
"So, gas is always scented before it's distributed so that it's easier to determine a gas leak." Shalimar explained.
"Which means this had to have come from a gas manufacturing company." Brennan caught on. "I'll run a search for local warehouses." Brennan went to the main computer and performed a basic search. "Ok, there's three. One near the mall, one close to the Cineplex and the other…" Brennan paused for a moment to look at Shalimar. "And is the other is an abandoned warehouse very close to Valentino's."
"That's gotta be it, let's go." Shalimar grabbed her coat and they headed for the Double Helix.
