Emma and Jesse walked up in front of the building they were standing. They had landed the jet on a safe distance and made it invisible, so no one could see it.
"This is the building?" Jesse said, with an unimpressed look.
"I guess it is."
The two both walked towards it. The building looked a lot more like it was about to crumble any minute. The color was turning brown, making it look like it was rotting and vast vines seemed to crawl everywhere on the building. Clearly, it was a yucky looking building they would rather not have gone in.
"Let's go through the back," Jesse said and Emma nodded. They walked quietly so no one would look at them suspiciously.
"Jesse, can you go through the door?"
"No problem!"
Jesse turned transparent and he vanished inside the door in front of Emma. Soon, there was a nice click as Jesse opened the door for Emma.
"Quickly, we better hurry."
"Yeah."
"Is there anyone inside the building?"
Emma pulled out a little gadget and clicked on one of the buttons. It gave out no sound as moving little dots appeared on the little screen.
"There are a couple of guards but I'm not sure about the others."
"Alright then, that's easy. Come on!"
Jesse ran and pushed through the waiting doors in front of them. Emma followed as well. A guard walked straight until he saw the two. He was about to shout something but Emma silenced him by knocking him unconscious before he could say anything.
"That was safe."
"We have to be careful. Somehow I think this isn't quite right."
They were just entering another hall, which they had met another guard patrolling. The second guard as well was silenced.
"Emma, can you sense where the computers are?"
Emma closed her eyes a minute and concentrated. Then she found it.
"The computers are over there, on your right hand side."
Jesse stretched his hand to the doorknob and turned it. The doorknob didn't open.
"Well, I suppose I have to use my little trick again, he said and slipped through, or tried to. He banged hard on the door, which he yelped loudly with pain.
"Ouch! Are you ok, Jesse?" Emma asked, staring at the door with a strange look.
"Yeah, I'm alright. Why can't we go in?"
"I don't know. Well, let's find a guard and take he's keys."
Jesse nodded and followed Emma as Emma quickly knocked out a guard. The guard slipped and fell to the ground with a silent clank of keys. Emma took the keys and handed them to Jesse.
"Here, try using one of those keys."
Jesse nodded and he walked back towards the door. Emma walked back as well as he saw Jesse opening the door.
"Hmm, that was easy!"
Emma and Jesse entered the room, where five computers were peeping with light. Emma shut the door behind her as Jesse went straight to one of the computers and started typing into it. The computer peeped rather loudly.
Jesse groaned. "It's gonna take a while for me to hack into the computer."
"Well, ok. As long as no one barges in."
As Emma watched Jesse, she heard a muffling voice. She looked at her back, confused. She opened the door and looked around. The hall was empty and no guards were around. Her heart told her something wasn't right but she didn't know what.
HELP... ME...!
Emma jerked back with surprise. She looked around and searched for anyone who had cried for help. She saw none.
Maybe you were just imagining things, her head told her.
But of course it wasn't.
She felt something try to lead her somewhere as Jesse continued typing into the computer, taking no notice of Emma.
I'm in here... a voice spoke softly. Emma looked at her left and saw another door, where a warning said, "NO ENTRY" in big bold letters. Emma looked at it with a puzzled feeling as she turned the door knob. It opened easily.
As Emma looked, she saw a man in a corner that looked up at her with hope. You found me.
The man was badly bruised and he was in a plastic cage, or rather a plastic room. There was door to it.
"Who are you?" Emma asked in wonder. She guessed this man was a mutant, since he had communicated to her and leaded her here.
"My name is Gerald Harrison. I've been trapped here since someone knew about my abilities. Please just get me out of here!" he shouted as he stood up.
Emma nodded and came closer to the plastic room. It was transparent, letting her see the inside of the room.
Emma walked towards the door, where she tried to open it. It didn't budge. "Wait here, I'll get some help."
The man called Gerald nodded as Emma went back to Jesse.
"What were you doing out there?" he asked as he handed the keys Emma had asked to have.
"There's a mutant who's trapped in there. I'm going to let him free. Jesse, we should better hurry, I feel something's wrong here."
Jesse nodded and went back to typing into the computer.
Emma ran back to the plastic cage Gerald was trapped in. Gerald smiled in relief as Emma slipped one of the keys and it clicked.
Emma pulled the doorknob and Gerald suddenly hugged her tightly. "Thank you, thank you so much!"
Emma was bewildered but then she smiled and hugged him back. Gerald then let go. There was a beep from Emma's pocket as she pulled her gadget out. "Uh oh..."
"What is it?" Gerald said, he's eyes filling with fear.
"We have to go, NOW. People are coming in!" Emma said and grabbed Gerald's hand. She ran towards Jesse, but suddenly the door shut by its own accord. "Jesse!" Emma shouted.
Jesse looked around and saw Emma running with a man. He saw the computer beeping and realized that he had made a terrible mistake. The computer started to laugh, as if it was alive and the computer was soon covered with one word. It read, "GOTCHA!"
He turned back to run away from the computer and get out of the door but the door shut in front of Emma's face. He heard Emma shout his name. Desperate, he used his ability to go through the door, though he knew it wouldn't work. He was trapped.
"Jesse!" Emma shouted. Gerald looked at the woman who saved him sadly.
"Come on, we have to go. Before they come! Come on!" Gerald said. He pulled the Emma's hand gently but she pushed it away.
"Jesse!" she shouted again. There was a muffled answer from the door as Jesse shouted, "Emma, you have to go! Leave me! We'll figure something out! GO!"
"No I'm not going to leave you here! No! I'm not!" Emma shouted.
"Emma, listen to me! If you stay here, you're going to be caught as well! Please go, for my sake!" Jesse answered.
Emma, though little beads of tears were forming in her eyes, she quickly brushed them away. "Alright! Jesse, we'll get you out of here, I promise!" She shouted and ran.
There was a sound of footsteps and guards noticed them. There were gun shots pointed at them as Gerald and Emma ran from the building towards the safety of the jet, leaving Jesse to his awaited fate.
