As Al attached Shalimar firmly into her seat, the man to whom the voice belonged stepped into the light at the far end of the room. Brennan tried hard to see this man, he only managed to make out a dark shape but he heard metallic noises that didn't reassure him at all. Shalimar tried to position herself in order to relieve her painful shoulder then turned her head and all her senses to finding out what was in the room, what she saw intrigued her and confused her at a time. She fixed her gaze on the third man, he was big and well built, clothed in a long white coat, gloves made of latex cover his hands. the evidence came together in Shalimar's mind. this man was some kind of doctor. her fear increased to a mad speed as he approached her with a tray. - "Now then Miss Fox, you're not looking too good? " he asked her with a suave voice. 'How does he know my name? ' wondered Shalimar as she realised what the man had called her. - "You're surely wondering how I know your name. in fact there are lot of things I know about you and your friend Mr Mulwray. You didn't arrive here by chance. I've been waiting for you. " he said to her, all the while looking at her in the eyes to see the gleam of panic that grew as he spoke.

Shalimar listened to him without speaking. her mind worked quickly to process what he might have meant by 'I've been waiting for you'. 'How could he have known that we would be in the mountain and on foot? We should have found ourselves at the Canadan border without the damage that made us crash. unless. ' - "I see by your face that you are begining to understand. Actually, Adam Kane's contact. that was me." as he speaks, Shalimar heard him manipulate the instruments that are on the tray, but she couldn't see what they were. - "I knew that Adam would send his team or at least a part of his team to help some new mutants in difficulty. Then I just waited for the right moment with my team and we detected your plane quickly on our radar. It remained only to make it so that the plane landed somewhere where we could recover it easily. " he continued his explanation while pushing up Shalimar's tank top with his gloved hands. "Hoho, that isn't pretty! " he said to her upon discovering the injury. " Is it as painful as it looks? " he asked, pushing down on the sides of the wound. - "Haaaaaaa!!!!!!!!" screamed Shalimar, in so much pain provoked by the pressure of this man's fingers on the wound. - "That's what I thought. " he said, withdrawing his fingers covered with Shalimar's blood. He turned around and continued to manipulate some things on the tray while continuing his story. "As I said, we used a electromagnetic ray on your craft as it passed over to us. This ray cut the electric circuits of your plane, if I am not mistaken and caused its descent. We had calculated the point of impact but there was a deviation and that is why it took us some time to join you. You had luck. ยป

Brennan had remained, until now, silent, listening to what this man had told them. - " Luck? We nearly died more than once! You're insane! " he exclaimed. That earned him Rafe's fist in his stomach. Short of breath, he threw a heavily suggestive look at his aggressor. 'Release me, give me two seconds and I'll take care of you, then we will see how proud you are' it said. - "Yes, luck Mr Mulwray. After the crash of your plane, I didn't think that you would manage to escape so far." he said, turning toward Brennan. "From what I have heard, you took a wound to the eyes? and Miss Fox a dislocated shoulder. That is most impressive when one looks at the state of your plane. " He turned around, back towards Shalimar, she can see a compress in his hand as well as a needle and thread. She doesn't understand anything anymore. why take care of her if he wants to kill them? - "Ho this?" he asked indicating the contents of his hands to Shalimar. "I am going to resew your wound, yes. I would not like for you to empty yourself of your blood before I'm finished with you, you understand. " he said to her while applying the compress directly on the wound. A moan of pain grew in Shalimar's throat but she grit her teeth and held it, not wanting to give this man the satisfaction of seeing her suffer. To one side, Brennan shifted nervously on his seat. He heard Shalimar's muffled moan and knew that she was finding it difficult to hide her distress. The man withdrew the compress, blood-red and deposited it behind him. - "Don't be afraid to shout Miss Fox, I know that the pain must be intolerable." he told her with a smile while bringing a needle to bear on Shalimar's side. "Oh my, I didn't present myself. I am doctor Nasyski. " He passed the needle through Shalimar's skin, and again, closing little by little the wound opened by the piece of wood. To every penetration, Shalimar held a scream of pain. tears gather in her closed yes. tears of pain, yes but also of frustration, the frustration of being at the mercy of this man without being able to act, the frustration of not knowing what he wanted from them.
