Chapter Six

Melody and Marcus starred at Casey waiting for her to say something. Finally Marcus got fed with waiting and poked her in the back.

Casey turned around. " What?"

Melody spoke. " What's going on? Did you find them?"

" Yeah, they're in the shed, but I also picked up on blood." She paused when Marcus and Melody gasped. " I don't know whose it is and I think there's a sniper in the building." Casey finished pointing to the old apartment building across from hem.

Melody smiled. ' You want to check?" When Casey nodded she created a huge fireball, which didn't bother Casey who had over come her fear of fire, and threw it toward the building.

Instantly a shot rang through the area and the three teens gulped. There was indeed a sniper there. What were they going to do now?

They sat in silence for several minutes before anybody came up with an idea. It was Marcus who came up with a plan. " Guys, I could connect with him and distract him while you two go around the building and take him out."

They agreed and after a few minutes of deliberating everyone left to do their parts. Marcus stayed where they before and concentrated. Once he found the mind he wanted he made the person believe it was surrounded by fire and couldn't escape. Casey and Melody snuck slowly up behind the man and with a quick punch or two he was knocked out.

Meanwhile in the shed the past Jesse wasn't faring so well. The bleeding wouldn't stop and he seemed to get weaker and weaker every minute. Cristy sat by his side continuing to out pressure on the bullet wound while holding his hand gingerly. The future Cristy was clinging to her husband (future Jesse) extremely worried. They all knew what would happen if Jesse died. There would be no future Jesse or Melody.

Nobody spoke for what seemed like hours but finally Brennan (future) got fed up with the silence. " We have to get out of here, now." He said stating the obvious.

The future Shalimar looked at her husband and said one word. " Duh." Brennan for once was speechless. The group was just about to try something when the shed door jiggled open.

They all gasped and took fighting stances, while Brennan created a ball of electricity in his hand. Just as they were about to attack they saw that it was the teens. They grumbled and relaxed, Brennan cutting off the flow of electricity as he spoke.

" What are you guys doing here? You where told to stay at sanctuary! Do you have any idea how much trouble you're in?" he yelled. When he was finished his rave the past Emma, Shalimar and Cristy snickered quietly. Brennan was the last person they expected to see yelling and punishing for disobeying rules. He did it all the time.

Casey answered her father quietly. " We're in a lot of trouble but we couldn't very well sit around and do nothing. Now could we?"

As she stopped Melody spoke. " Yeah, I mean Christ our very existance's being threatened here." To emphasize her point she motioned to the past Jesse, who wasn't doing so well at the moment.

Marcus spoke in an attempt to calm everyone down. " We're sorry but we thought you could use a little help. Let's go."

The past Emma spoke to her future son. " We can't there's a sniper out there."

The teens smiled and Casey spoke. " Correction. There was a sniper out there. We all ready took care of him."

The adult starred at the teens for several minutes before anyone moved. Brennan ( future) picked Jesse (past) up carefully and carried him to the Helix. The future Shalimar went over to the car the teens had used and left. The teens went to the Helix. When everyone was situated they were off.

" Adam." Cristy (future) called out.

The response came quickly. " Yeah."

"We're on our way and we have the teens."

The flight to sanctuary was a quiet one. The teens all prayed silently, they knew that they were in big trouble and the worst was yet to come.
