As usual, disclaimers : If Mutant X is mine…would I write a story that I don't get paid to write? Period.

Chapter 1 : Unexpected phone call
By aniki19
An ordinary day in sanctuary.
Upon close up, the two guys of Mutant X were having a heated one-on-one. Brennan in a black tube top while Jesse dressed in grey with blue slacks.
Both were sweating profusely as they have been playing basketball for the past forty-five minutes or so…when Adam gave Jesse a 'blip' on his com-link, "Jesse…you have a phone call"
"Ooofff!" distracted for a second, Jesse was pushed to the side as Brennan steals his score.
Grinning triumphantly, Brennan exclaimed "Game point…I win."
"Hey, no fair…I was preoccupied…!" Jesse voiced his protest. He manoeuvred and managed to steal the ball from Bren and threw it into the hoop. It went in. "Hah! We're even".
"Jesse, it's marked urgent," came Adam voice over the link; a little pressed. "Alright, alright, canned it already. I'll take it my room Adam, thanks." Jesse deactivated his ring.
Walking towards the stairs where he left his bottle of water, he took a gulp and turned around. "I'm serious, Brennan; I want a re-match. That didn't count."
"Anytime brother, I could take you on anytime…bring it on," came the cocky reply.
With that, he threw a towel at Bren and run laughing up the flight of stairs, out of the room and onto the hallway.
Wiping his sweaty face, Jesse sat down with a rush on his chair in his room. Activating his computer and keying in his password on the screensaver, he read the message that came along with the video; anticipation and curiosity evident on his face, who would want to talk to him so urgently to have waited so long?
As the blue light of the screen flickered on his face, his smile turned grim and a sadden look descended on his features. Sighing, he listened to the massage on the video while trying his best not to let his emotions overrun him and betray his portrayal of indifference.
"Hello, Dad,"
