Although Lexa was exhausted, she couldn't fall asleep. Her restless mind was going over the events that just took place. A traitor was in the Dominion; that would only happen if there was something seriously wrong in the Dominion. Deep down she was excited. The Dominion always knew everything and kept information from Mutant X, but now the Dominion were in the dark, and Lexa intended to keep it that way until she found out everything. She decided not to tell the Dominion about Sandra's death and the note in her car because the less information the Dominion knew, the more they would need Mutant X, meaning that they could find out what was going on in the most secretive agency in the world.

Around 7:00, Lexa went back to the computers to see if anything had come up yet. She looked at the computer screen. "Comparing DNA samples. Please wait." She read aloud. She sat in a nearby chair and stared at the computer screen.

A few minutes later, the computer beeped. Lexa looked at the screen, which told her that the comparisons were completed. Lexa briefly argued with herself as to whether or not she should get the others or look at them herself first. Overwhelmed with curiosity, she opened the results.

The DNA samples found match those of the following people: Alkins, Sandra; Mulwray, Brennan; Pierce, Lexa; Sindrell, Marcus.

Lexa got up and went to the other bedrooms to wake the others. The first one was Brennan's. She stood there and watched him sleeping. She noticed the steady rise and fall of his bare chest. "Brennan!" she called out. "It's done." Brennan stirred and sat up. Lexa left and went next door to Shalimar's room. She was lying in bed, but she was awake. She probably heard Lexa waking Brennan. "It found who else touched the note!" Shalimar nodded and got out of bed. Finally she went to Jesse's room. She woke him up, and he jumped out of bed and ran over to the computer where Brennan and Shalimar were already looking at the results.

"So Marcus Sindrell was working with Alkins." Jesse said after looking at the list of people who touched the note. "So does this mean we're all done?"

Lexa shook her head. "It's possible that there were more people with them. Remember, if she was killed by her partners, then there were at least two of them. And besides, don't you all want to know what the cause is of all this trouble in the Dominion? I know these guys, they don't want to cause any sort of trouble unless they have a really good reason. And I mean really good."

"Yeah," Brennan agreed. "I want to know what's going on with them. For all we know, it could involve us."

"Wait a minute!" Jesse spoke up. "If Sandra's partners were the ones that killed her, don't you think they would have searched her car for anything that would give them away? They would have found and destroyed that note. If it was the buyer, they wouldn't know that she had that note, therefore they wouldn't look for it."

"Jesse's right." Lexa said. "Dominion employees would never do something that stupid. It's definitely possible that Alkins and Sindrell were the only two, and Alkins was captured and killed by the buyers, possibly because they didn't want to have to pay for the disc. Why pay when you can steal it for free? That just leaves Sindrell. We have to find him."

Shalimar spoke up. "Let's go then. We have his address. Jess, there isn't much for you to do here. You should come with us."

Jesse thought about it for a moment. "You're right. I guess I can go too."


After Jesse, Brennan, Lexa, and Shalimar were ready to go, and were making their way to the hangar, the face of Lexa's Dominion contact came onto every screen in sight. All four members of Mutant X froze where they were.

"Surely you must be done with your DNA scans now." He said. "Tell me the results."

Lexa saw no point in lying about the results, especially since the Dominion could do their own tests on the note. "Sandra Alkins and Marcus Sindrell are your traitors. We're going out now to try to find the disc." She said.

"The whereabouts of Sindrell and Alkins are unknown. We need that disc immediately. Do whatever is necessary." With that, the communication terminated.


PLEASE review! my first three chapters only got 2 alltogether, that's just a little depressing. I really really don't want to be one of those people who won't post a new chapter until I get a certain number of reviews.
