Back at Sanctuary, Mutant X opened the suspect list and the included information.

"There they are." Jesse said as the list displayed.

Alkins, Sandra- Employed with Dominion for 16 years

Menns, Rodger- Employed with Dominion for 8 years

Sindrell, Marcus- Employed with Dominion for 11 years

Welch, Gary- Employed with Dominion for 12 years

"Should we go now?" Shalimar asked. "We have their addresses."

Jesse shook his head. "It's possible that none of them are the traitor. We should investigate each of them to make sure."

"What if we can't find anything?" Brennan asked. "Then that'll be time wasted."

"If we investigate now, we might arouse suspicions." Jesse protested.

"I'm with Brennan." Lexa said. "You can stay here while we go."

Jesse reluctantly nodded. "Alright. You three go, I'll stay here. I'll contact you if I find something."

Brennan, Shalimar, and Lexa leftand took off inthe helix


In the helix, it was decided that they would disguise themselves as thieves to avoid any suspicion with the Dominion traitor. Lexa was the only one wearing all black, like she almost always did, but fortunately extra clothes are kept in the helix in case they are needed. As Lexa piloted towards Sandra Alkins's house, Brennan and Shalimar changed into their thief clothes. As Brennan took his shirt off, Shalimar tried not to make it too obvious that she was staring. Shalimar had no idea that Brennan was also trying not to stare.

The helix, in stealth mode, landed in a field not far from Alkins's home, which was remote and isolated, probably like most homes of Dominion employees.

"One of us should stay here just in case we need to make a quick takeoff." Lexa said.

"Do you wanna stay?" Shalimar asked her. "Brennan and I will go in."

Lexa shook her head. "We'll need to sneak in. I can turn invisible. I'll go with Brennan."

Brennan could feel some of the tension building. "Maybe I should stay behind if you two don't want to."

Shalimar raised her hands in defeat. "Okay, I'll just stay behind."

Lexa and Brennan got out of the helix and crossed the field to Alkins's house. Lexa grabbed Brennan's arm and they turned invisible.

"What was that with you and Shal?" Brennan asked.

Lexa rolled her eyes. "She's just acting feral, I guess. She probably thinks I'm trying to take you away from her. You two aren't even together, right?"

"No."

Brennan and Lexa reached the house and found the door unlocked.

"This is very unusual for a Dominion employee." Lexa said. "They're always paranoid." She opened the door silently, and she and Brennan entered. The house was dark and silent. They crept through the entire house, room by room, but nobody was home. "She's probably still with the Dominion."

Brennan and Lexa continued to search the house for anything that sould suggest she was a Dominion traitor. After two hours of meticulous searching, nothing was found that would even relate her to the Dominion. They were about to leave when they heard an approaching car. Lexa grabbed Brennan's arm and they became invisible. They watched out the window as two cars pulled into the driveway. One car was turned off, and the driver got out and got into the other car, which drove away. After it was gone, Brennan and Lexa went to search the car. It was locked, but Brennan knew how to use his electricity to open it. Lexa opened the passenger door, and Sandra Alkins's body fell out onto the ground. There was a bullet hole in the back of her head, and the seat was covered in blood. Brennan opened the gove compartment and found a note inside.

"Sandra, we have found a buyer for the disc. Meet me at our meeting place tonight at 4." Brennan read aloud. "No one signed it, and the date on it is today."

"So she was in on it, but she wasn't alone. Either her partners killed her, or the buyers did. If it was her partners, then there are at least two. One who drove her body, another who drove the other car."

"For all we know, there were more people in the other car." Brennan said.

Lexa closed the car door. "We have to get back to Sanctuary. We need to get in contact with the Dominion and tell them."
