Shalimar, Lexa, and Brennan sprinted out of the invisible helix and hid behind thick bushes at the nature preservation center that had been closed for several hours. They were chasing genetic terrorists who were once employed at Geneomex.
"Lexa, does the Dominion have any information about these guys?" Brennan whispered.
"No." she whispered back. "All they know is that they were employed at Geneomex, they have plenty of rescourses, and they're dangerous. They want to steal some of Geneomex's work for whatever reason. The Dominion tapped into a conversation saying that they want to collect a weapon they hid when they learned they were being chased."
"Well," Shalimar looked over, "it seems like the Dominion does know a bit about them."
"What kind of weapon is this?" Brennan asked. Lexa shrugged and gave him one of her I have no idea looks.
A white van drove into the vacant parking lot and stopped. Five people, masked and dressed in all black, exited and opened the trunk. Invisible, Brennan and Lexa crept around for a better look, while Shalimar snuck around towards the front.
Shalimar, with her feline charictaristics, was silent and undetected. She could see all five of the people standing close, probably whispering, but Shalimar could not hear them, so she concluded that they were silent. She crouched down and saw Brennan and Lexa's body heat.
In the back, Brennan and Lexa had a clear view of the empty trunk.They're probably putting the weapon here, Brennan thought to himself. He seperated from Lexa and snuck closer so he could hear what they were saying.
"Where are they?" one of them said.
"Maybe the fake communication didn't work." Another man suggested.
Brennan was alarmed. More people comming! He moved slightly closer so he could hear better, and he looked back at Lexa. She was invisible, or too well hidden for Brennan to see. He saw a thick bush that would hide him better and was closer to the trunk, so he crept towards it. Unfortunately, Brennan was a big burly man, and several twigs broke with a loud snap. Brennan looked up. He could see Shalimar with a look of shock on her face about a hundred feet away. The mysterious men turned around, and saw Brennan. He stood up and electrocuted two of the closest to him. Shalimar cried out "Brennan, look out!" as he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and a dart was sticking out of his tee shirt. The world started spinning as Brennan blacked out and was caught by two hands that he was fairly sure were not Shalimar's or Lexa's.
