Brennan cautiously crept around Sanctuary, secretly hoping to not run into the crimminals sneaking around his home. He looked in his room, Shalimar's, and Lexa's, not finding anyone. Jesse's room was also empty.
Shalimar looked around the gym. She heard footsteps around her. She crouched low, preparing to attack. The figure moved closer, but could not be seen. Lexa became visible right next to her.
"Oh my god." Shalimar whispered. "It's just you."
Lexa nodded. "There's no one here, let's go."
The two women stepped out of the gym and were face to face with one of the prowlers. Shalimar quickly punched him and he fell to the floor unconsious. Shalimar picked him up and deposited him in their prison.
Jesse was quietly stalking one of the crimminals who was on his way to the hanger to get the helix.
"Hey," he whispered as loudly as he dared, "come to the hangar, I found one of them."
"Shal and I caught the other." he heard Lexa reply.
Jesse waited patiently. Deciding he could wait no further, he massed and lunged at the prowler. Jesse grabbed him and pinned his arms. Lexa ran into view. Jesse massed, and Lexa shot the man he was holding.
Shalimar and Brennan walked over. "Now what?" Brennan asked. "Do we hand them over to the Dominion now?"
Lexa nodded. "They're probably at the rondez-vous spot now. They were disturbed as hell! I guess this must be one of the first if not the first time something like this has ever happened to them."
"Let's get going then." Brennan said.
An abandoned warehouse was not the place Mutant X would have taken five prisoners who had the ability to bring back their arch enemy. But the Dominion believed it was the perfect place. Lexa was right; her mysterious contact with the Dominion was impatiently waiting for them.
"This is an outrage!" he nearly shouted. "Thank you for bringing them to us."
"Do you think that's all of them?" Brennan asked.
"We will interrogate them. We have ways to obtain information."
The crimminals were put in the Dominion's van and it drove away to wherever they hid from the world. As they headed back to the helix, Brennan could not help wondering if there were others out there, or if there was more of Ekhart's blood to be cloned.
