In Sanctuary, Shalimar and Lexa ran in, deeply concerned. Jesse, after looking at their faces, could immediately tell. "Where's Brennan?" He asked.
Lexa quickly became her usual calm, collected, almost cold self. "They took him." she stated bluntly.
"We have to do something!" Shalimar almost sobbed. "We've got to find him!"
"Shal, we have no idea where to look." Lexa protested. "I'll see if I can get in contact with the Dominion and see what's going on." She walked out to talk to her mysterious contact within the Dominion.
Shalimar started to feel tears in her eyes, and with all the strength she had, she fought them back. "They hit him with a stun dart and shoved him into the trunk of their van. They must have taken his comlink off." She pulled Brennan's comlink out of her pocket and put it on the desk for Jesse to see.
At this point, Lexa came back. "The Dominion said they didn't contact us." she said. "The people who have Brennan must have made a fake communication to lead us here."
Jesse nodded. "So they could capture one of us."
"But why?" Shalimar asked.
"Ransom probably. They must want something of ours." Lexa said.
"Or something of Adam's." Jesse was worried. They all knew Adam had his secrets, but this one could cost Brennan's life.
Brennan woke up ina dark dingy room with little lighting and cement walls. He figured it was a store room or a basement. He was tightly bound to a chair and gagged. He was soaked to the skin. He tried to get loose, but he couldn't. A man entered whom Brennan recognized as the man who shot him with the stun dart gun. He stood in front of Brennan for a minute, and then he finally spoke.
"It's no use trying to escape, Mr. Mulwray." He said. "The door from the basement is locked and guarded. We know you cannot use your powers when you are wet, so we will be visiting you regularly to check on you and make sure you are soaked. But don't worry, you will be able to go back to Mutant X as long as your friends cooperate and give me what I want."
