Marcus Sindrell's house, like the one of Sandra Alkins, was in a remote area. The helix was parked about a mile away, and all four members of Mutant X went to the house. It had been a long time since all four of them were on a mission together instead of being separated.
They approached the house, and Jesse phased himself and stepped through the wall. He would return once he was sure the immediate surroundings were secure. As soon as he stepped through the wall, a gunshot was heard.
"Oh my god!" Shalimar stepped towards the wall, but Lexa stopped her.
"I'm sure Jesse didn't unphase himself. He's probably alright." She said.
A moment later, the wall phased, and Shalimar, Brennan, and Lexa stepped through. It didn't take too long for Lexa and Brennan to shoot down all of the people. There were only six of them. One of the people Lexa shot was deliberately shot so that he would regain consciousness momentarily. He shortly did, and woke up to four people hovered over him, one of which had her two fingers together glowing yellow.
"Who are you working for, and what business do you have with Sindrell?" Lexa demanded.
Frightened, the man answered. "He said he had a disc my boss wanted to buy. That's all I know. Sindrell's dead in the closet. We didn't find the disc." His cooperation was rewarded by Lexa shooting him.
Shalimar, now not distracted by the action, smelled Sindrell's body. It was found in the closet with three bullet holes in the chest. All of his pockets were searched, but nothing was found. The house was meticulously searched, but nothing was found.
"We know Alkins doesn't have it, Sindrell doesn't seem to have it, so that must mean there's a third person who does have it." Brennan said.
Jesse was preoccupied looking at the corpse. Sindrell must have been leaned against something when he fell because his shirt was lifted a few inches. It was just high enough for Jesse to notice stitches running horizontally across his stomach.
"I think I found the disc." He said, showing everyone the stitches. "He must have had it placed inside him, where no one would look. That is nasty."
"Well," Shalimar said, "it looks like we'll have to perform surgery."
Lexa used her powers to cut him open, and the disc was retrieved from Sindrell's body using silverware. It was in a protective case.
"So, are we still planning to see why there's such uproar at the Dominion, or are we just giving them the disc and getting this over with?" Jesse asked.
"Yeah," Lexa said, "The Dominion's had problems with the outside world all the time; it's common for them. Internal problems are serious. If we can get into the Dominion building by hitching a ride with one of the two living suspects, maybe then we can find out."
