Chapter 3

What to do?

They all sat there in silence and Lexa spoke up first, "Well what do we do?"

"We have to help him. We can't leave him there, with him." Shalimar answered straight away then finished distastefully, "with her."

"Well ok babe, but how? This is the dominion we're talking about. We can't just walk in take Adam and go." Brennan said calmly.

"Exactly. We have two choices. Give them what they want or be prepared for a fight we could lose." Jesse said sadly.

"Well there's no way their getting what they want. We can't get into all of Adam's top secret information and there's no way I'm giving up Jesse!" Lexa shouted and walked out of the room and into her bedroom.

"Maybe Lexa has the right idea. Let's get some sleep, think up ideas and discus them in the morning. There's nothing we can do tonight." Brennan suggested.

"Yeh ok then. Night." Jesse went into his bedroom.

"Night." Shalimar and Brennan said at the same time.

Brennan looked over at Shalimar. "We'll get him back Shal ok." He wrapped his arms around her and heard her crying.

"I hope your right Brennan. Because he's been like a father to me I can't lose him. Yeh I know he hasn't been around for a few months. But I at least had the hope of him being alive and safe. If we don't rescue him and soon he'll be gone for good." Shalimar explained her feelings whilst crying.

"I know hun. Come on let's try and get some sleep." Brennan kept his arms around shal and they both walked into their bedroom. They all slept that night but had lots of dreams. Dreams about rescuing Adam safe and sound and everything being ok. Dreams were they all died. Dreams were they rescued Adam but something else went wrong and one of them died. Dreams with the dominion destroyed for good and them all exceeding their expiry date and leading happy lives. But which one of these would actually come true they didn't know, but they at least knew what they wanted to come true. They now they just needed to work out how they were going to get them to come true.

9:00am.

All of them are awake and have eaten breakfast now they are going to sit down and discuss what to do.

"I have an idea. We can try and hack into their computers to work out layouts of the new dominion and the security systems. Then plan our way to get in, get Adam and get out." Jesse said

"Well saying it like that makes it sound simple." Lexa stated

"Yeh but we all know that it won't be." Brennan pointed out.

"But it gets us started on something and whatever we do knowing the layout and security system is a priority otherwise we don't stand a chance. So you three get started on that." Shalimar agreed

"What do you mean us three? What are you going to do?" Brennan asked

"I had an idea to check out all of Nikki's hideouts and find out if there's anything we can use against her." Shalimar informed them.

"You shouldn't go alone." Brennan said worriedly

"I'll be fine. Trust me a lot of her places we went to together. People should remember me and they'd still think I'm on Nikki's side. If I turn up with a bunch of strangers, then that could be suspicious." Shalimar picked up her coat and put it on. "I'll be fine ok and if I need any help I'll contact you guys. I'll see ya later." Shalimar kissed Brennan on the cheek and left.

Jesse noticed the look on Brennan's face, "Hey man she'll be fine."

"Yeh your right. Well let's get hacking." The three of them all went to a computer and started trying to get into the dominion's system.


Shalimar had tried lots of the old places that her and Nikki used to go and there were hardly any people and the ones that were there didn't know anything useful for her. She was just about to head back to sanctuary when she heard a noise behind her. She quickly turned around and was facing Nikki.

"Hey Shal. Come to a decision yet?" Nikki asked with a smirk on her face.

"Maybe if we had I wouldn't tell you." Shalimar answered and glared at her.

"Don't glare Shal you'll get wrinkles."

"Don't you ever get bored of smirking?" Shalimar retorted

"Not really but maybe I will some day." She replied.

"What do you want?" Shalimar asked.

"Well I told you that earlier on hun." She replied.

"Yeh well I know you to well. You wouldn't come here to see me if you didn't have a reason. You wouldn't come just to find out if we've made a decision."

"Oh well you caught me. What can I say really." Nikki wondered

"Well here's an idea how about the truth. But then again that never was your style."

"No my style was to win and I did it. Very well I might add." She argued.

"Well there's a lie. Coz I always did the winning. That's what really get's to you, you said it earlier. Adam chose me over you, I won." Shalimar now was the one with the smirk as she could see Nikki was getting annoyed.

"You won one thing but I'll win overall and you know it." Nikki said cockily.

"Yeh sure next you'll be telling me you're the queen." Shal joked.

"Well who knows what the future holds for me. First I defeat Mutant X then the world."

"You know how lame that sounds right." Shalimar insulted.

"Oh whatever. Just hurry up and make a decision coz times ticking."

"We'll make a decision don't you worry about that." Shalimar turned and started to walk away from her.

"Oh I'm not and you can't honestly think that's all I came here for can you?" Shalimar turned around

"Well a girl can hope. What else then coz I'm kinda bored." Shalimar mocked.

"I wanted to tell you something that may help your decision."

"What?" Shal quickly asked.

"YOU." Nikki said then disappeared.


Shalimar was standing wondering what she meant by that. She figured she'd find out eventually Nikki wasn't good at keeping secrets. She walked back to sanctuary still trying to work it out and started to get irritated that she couldn't. She just hoped that the guys had gone something useful. She walked into the lounge and saw them all at different computer's Brennan was the first to notice her walk in.

"Hey hun find anything?"

"Hi nothing interesting only Nikki." Shalimar answered. Suddenly she had all of their attention and Lexa got up and walked over to her.

"What happened?"

"Nothing really all she wanted to do was make sure we were coming up with a decision." She answered

"Is that it?" Jesse joined in with the questions.

"Umm. Pretty much yeh." Shal was going to tell them what she said but decided to keep it to herself. "So what did you guys find out?"

"Well not much they have their computers locked up tight. We've managed to get into some of the security camera's but only one and it's just some office nothing seems to be happening in there. We also found some of the high security levels so we can try and figure out where Adam is being kept and we've know where the security camera are all being monitored. Not a lot but we've got some stuff to work on." Jesse explained it all.

"It's a start at least it's more then I thought we'd get." Lexa smiled.

"Yeh well done you guys. You should take a break, I'm gonna go take a shower I reek of dirty streets." Shal walked into her bedroom and then into her bathroom. She poured out the bath and added some relaxing bubble bath. Took off her clothes and got into the bathtub.

"Do you think she's all right?" Brennan asked Jesse and Lexa.

"Yeh I'm sure she's fine just needs to relax in the tub." Lexa answered.

"Yeh your right."

"Aren't I always." Lexa joked

"NO." Jesse and Brennan said simultaneously and ran off.

"Hey." Lexa said and chased after them.
