The request
Joanna Watts stood over the unconscious forms of Brennan and Jesse, smirking. She stooped over and picked up Jesse's hand.
"I have two of your friends, if you don't give me the location of Ella Main within 48 hours, they will die!" She shouted into his Com-link. Four GSA agents came, two for Brennan, and two for Jesse, and took them away, plonking them down in the back seats of a car, they sat down in the front, while Joanna got into her own car and they all drove back to Genomex…
Meanwhile, Adam, Shalimar and Emma were standing in the lab listening to Joanna's request again, and little did they know that Ella was listening too. Luckily she had been trained in flying aircraft, so she knew the basics. She slipped into the Double Helix and flew swiftly into the dieing sunlight…
"I specifically asked for Ella Main, not two members of Mutant X!" Eckhart shouted at Joanna. "Luckily I am a kind man, and I praise you on your capture, many other agents have failed." Joanna smiled triumphantly and turned to leave.
"Did I say you could go?" Eckhart asked coldly.
"No, I'm sorry sir," Joanna said before turning back to him.
"I want Ella Main within 24 hours, or you will join the rest of my failures, down there," he said, pointing down at the stasis pods below…
Brennan suddenly woke up, looking around him. He was in a very cold and featureless room. The last thing he remembered was excruciating pain in his head, before it all went fuzzy. He looked around, and spotted Jesse lying a few feet away.
"Jesse, Jess!" he whispered. Jesse moaned, rolled over and opened his eyes. His left shoulder hurt from where he was thrown against the concrete wall.
"Brennan!" he exclaimed. "Where are we?"
"I'm not sure, but I'd guess we're in Genomex's main facility." Brennan asked, looking outside their cell. They were in a big room, with lots of empty cells, high-tech gadgets and some trays with sloppy looking food on them. Brennan wrinkled his nose at the smell the food, it smelt like gone-off fish. "It seems to be a…" But he never got to finish his sentence, because Joanna entered the room.
"We have captured the great Jesse Kilmartin at last!" she said. "You know how many times you've sneaked into this complex without detection? No? 23 times!" She smirked at him. "And of course, the not-so-great Brennan Mulwray!" Brennan frowned at the 'not-so-great' bit. Suddenly, the walkie talkie Joanna had in her pocket went off. "Ms. Watts, we have Miss Main, here, she wants to strike a deal!" Joanna smiled and Brennan's heart skipped a beat. "I have some business I need to take care of!" She said with glee, before walking out of the room…
"Adam, have you seen Ella?" Emma asked Adam.
"Now that you come to mention it, no I haven't." Adam replied. Suddenly, Shalimar rushed into the room,
"Adam, the double Helix is gone!" she panted…
There you go Courtney, you don't need to kill yourself now!
