Michelle's new home was beautiful. It was a two bedroom modern flat in the middle of the city, right next door to the mall. Emma and Michelle had spent most of their time in each other's company catching up any gossip. The main topic that kept coming up was males and Emma and Michelle's problem with finding half decent ones.

"Well as I see it what we both need is a trip to a new club. With no-one we know there or near to drag us back to reality. You can do your telempathy thingy and I'll check the mobile for texts from the wife." this sent both females into streams of laughter. Oh it felt good to not have to worry about the GSA or Gabriel. Emma thought.

"If that's what the doctor ordered." Emma was cut short by Brennan's voice over the comlink.

"Emma, sorry 'bout the short notice but I, we need you here now. Shalimar's already on her way to pick you up."

Emma sighed, "guess that cure will just have to wait a little longer." She moved towards the spare room and began to start packing.

Shalimar thought about how much Emma would be able to tell from her emotions. Would she feel the sorrow? It hadn't been her brother and she hadn't killed Leo, but the way Lexa acted around him, made Leo sort of her brother too. Lexa hadn't been with the team that long but still Shalimar had to admit Lexa was part of the team now and she was diffidently making connection with the rest of the team. Especial now that Shalimar came to think about it, Jesse. Humm. Shalimar's mind continued to puzzle over tat one when she arrived at Michelle's address.

The redhead was standing with her suitcase hugging and laughing with the women next to her. Shalimar smiled to herself, even though Michelle had tried to kill Emma, the young women had forgiven her and even saved her life.

Dragging her suitcase which had suddenly got seriously heavy; Emma made her way to the Mustang. Smiling she hugged Shal, put her bag in th boot and they headed for home.

The wave of sorrow, anger, guilt and relief hit Emma the second she got into Sanctuary. Th next second, Brennan hit her. He picked her up and carried her screaming to the living area. Brennan wasn't sure whether his attempt at sidetracking Emma from reading the team had worked or not but it had made the whole team, even Lexa laugh histrionically, as Emma was carried in screaming, laughing and kicking and deposited onto a sofa, by Brennan. Who then pretended to sit on her.

All the noise brought Adam out of his lab to find a very amusing sight. Jesse was cuddling Lexa who seemed to be cuddling back. Shalimar was laughing so hard she was crying and Brennan was sitting on a newly arrived Emma.

"I don't know, I leave you lot alone for five minutes and this happens. Dear me" Adam shock his head in a I don't approve manner. Smiled and turned to leave. As he walked away he called "Now bedtime in 10 minutes all of you." Laughter erupted behind him and someone called "But dad"

Emma sat up, her alarm clock ringing, she got up and tried to open the door. It was wouldn't move. Emma tried to remember whether or not there was anything outside the door, no nothing that she could remember. Pushing harder she felt the door give way just a little bit then more and finally. Bang Emma fell over what had been blocking the door, Brennan.

Brennan jumped with a start. He hadn't meant to fall asleep outside her door it just had happened. He smiled, Emma was sprawled on top of him with a look of complete and utter shock. Brennan began to laugh.

"That's not funny Brennan I could have got seriously hurt you know."

"Oh I'm sorry Em, now why are you getting up at" Brennan checked his watch "1 in the morning?"

"I could ask you what you're doing sleeping outside my room at 1 in the morning, but I didn't." Emma began to pout and stood up. What business was it of his if she wanted to get up at 1??

"Aww OK, but if you do have something to do will you let me help?" It was Brennan's turn to pout. How dare he use that face on her, he knew that she couldn't resist that lost puppy dog eyes.

"Very well come on" Emma pulled him up and they made their way to the computers.

Only one of the computers was working as the other as Jesse had put it was "requiring a minor adjustment" meaning it needed a complete overhaul. Brenan sat down and pull Emma onto his lap.

"So what we looking for?"

"We are looking for any record of a Emily deLauro, 15 years of age and one hell of a temper last I heard." Brennan shifted slightly. He knew that Leo had been hiding Emily and knew that Adam was working on a location. Emma sensed his discomfirt and leaned close and wispered.

"Mr Mulwary if there is anything you would like to inform me of now I suggest you do it 'cos otherwise." Emma made a small pink wave at the top of her head. Brennan gave in it was no use she was too powerful.

"OK you want to why we sent you to Michelle and what went on while you were away and why I know that your baby sis isn't all sweet and innocent?"

"Yes!"

Brennan took Emma's hand and lead her to his room and began to explain.

Thanks for the reviews keep them coming. LOL.
