A/N: Sorry about the not updating… but it's just that I knew what I wanted to write, I just really didn't know how, so now here you go
Chapter 16: Saviour
It was a quiet afternoon in Sanctuary and no one had seen Shalimar in over 4 hours and they were starting to get worried. Jesse was pacing back and forth, Lexa was tracking her com signal but Shal had taken it off, Adam was talking to his contacts, Emma was meditating trying to find her and Brennan was looking for her the only way he knew how, searching in the streets. Emma had been getting nothing for the past 20 minutes; she decided to stop but then immediately knew where Shal was, her heart skipped a beat thanking god she could have visions of her team-mates emotional states.
Emma ran into the living room where Jesse and Lexa sat in defeat. Adam just walked in and seeing the pure look of happiness in Emma's eyes knew it was good news.
"What's with your girlfriend and the excited look?" Lexa asked Jesse.
"I dunno" Jesse answered.
"I know where Shal is, I know where Shal is" Emma squealed.
"Well…" Lexa asked waiting for an answer.
"She's where we found her" Emma beamed in pure joy of finding Shalimar.
"Oh great" Lexa muttered.
"Well then lets go get her" Jesse said jumping up from his seat.
"Well actually, since Brennan is already out looking, why doesn't he just go" Adam spoke for the first time, which scared the crap outta Jesse.
"Okay, well lets tell him, and he can go and find her" Lexa commented.

Brennan had been looking around for the past hour looking for her, the one who showed him the hurt he caused. But he didn't really care about that, all he cared about was that he found her and no one else did. He wanted to show her that he wasn't that horrible, well most of the time. But he just wanted to feel like she could trust him again, that she didn't have to be afraid of him anymore.
"Hey Brennan, can you hear me?" Brennan was brought out of his daze by Jesse on the other end of the com signal.
"Yeah Jess" he answered.
"We know where Shal is, you know where we found her, before she could remember?" Jesse asked.
"Yeah… why?" Brennan asked, getting worried by the minute.
"That's where she is" Jesse replied.
"Ugh" Brennan groaned in defeat, he really didn't want to go back there.
"Thanks Jess" he said, before heading in the direction of the warehouse that Shal was first found in.

Shalimar had sat in that spot crying her eyes out for 5 hours straight, and no one had come to save her yet. Joey lay dead on the ground in front of her; he hadn't come alive again so you could guess he only had 2 lives left. Shalimar only moved after she closed her eyes, she saw him coming alive again to finish what he started, Shal ran to the corner at the other side of the room and placed herself in the fetal position. She would wait until someone came to get her, someone had to come and get her; they couldn't live without her, or at least Brennan couldn't… could they?

Brennan stepped into the building and immediately could smell her, she wouldn't allow herself to smell like someone else, she wanted to be unique. It was dead quiet, you would be able to hear a pin drop… he could hear someone crying a few floors up and started running up the stairs to where he knew it was coming from. When he was on the 3rd floor (where the crying was coming from) someone stepped in front of him.
"S'cuse me" he said politely.
"Sorry, can't let you in, boss told me not too" the man said.
"And who's your boss" Brennan asked getting really annoyed.
"Joey Tudaricas" the man answered.
Brennan couldn't believe it, Kali's ex boyfriend came alive again, but nobody could do that, it was impossible. Brennan didn't want to do it, but he had to get in that room, so he had to do it the hard way. He punched the guy dressed in black in the jaw and walked passed him. / That was easy / Brennan thought with ease.
Brennan opened the door and the first thing he saw was Joey's dead body, or at least it looked that way; he walked toward the body and placed his fingers in the inside of his wrist. There was no pulse and he was really cold. He heard soft whimpering, but it wasn't any normal sobbing, it was Shal's unique whimpering. He moved his line of sight to the opposite corner, where he saw Shalimar in the fetal position looking broken, as fragile as ever, and broken.
"Make it stop… make it stop… just make it stop" she whispered, Brennan slowly walked toward her and pulled her into his arms.
"Shh, it'll be okay, it will all be better soon" he soothed.
Shalimar's crying slowed, and soon stopped… she was glad that someone came for her, she was still so scared that Joey would come back and kill both of them, so she stayed quiet. Brennan softly picked her up and carried her to his car; Shal fell asleep instantly when her head reached the soft fabric covering the car seat. Everything would be good tomorrow; she hoped to god that it would be.
