CHAPTER 2: Fuzzy Images

Lexa watches as Jesse cries. "Um... Sorry for being insensitive but whats today?" She askes as Shalimar, Brennan and Jesse look at her. Finally Shalimar speaks. "Today is the second anniversary of the day our best friend Emma died." Lexa noddes. "But why didn't you guys get upset last year?" "Because last year we were on missions when the anniversary came up or her birthdays came up... But today we really miss her." Brennan explained and Lexa just nodded. "Oh... Im sorry." Jesse stood up. "Its okay. You didn't know." Shalimar nodded in agreement.

"Come on guys. We should go find Adam. Whatever we're feeling is probably 10x worse on him. I mean he treated us all like we were his children." Brennan spoke and Shalimar nodded again. "Ya. We'll find him and then find something to do. Maybe we could visit her burial spot." Brennan grabbed Shalimar's arm as they headed off towards the lab.

When they walked there the lab was locked. "Can you just leave me alone." Adam's voice called all muffled like he had been crying aswell. Shalimar let out a sob. "Oh my god, How can we live through today. Even Adam's crying. Adam's the strongest man I've ever known and even he's crying." She let out another sob and Brennan grabbed her and held her close to him. "Come on... Lets get dressed to go visit her burial spot... It'll be good for us. Lexa you can even come if you want."

Soon Shalimar and Brennan had left for their room, Lexa had also left for her room. So that just left Jesse all alone. He was already dressed so their was nothing for him to do. "Emma... I can't believe I let you go." He murmered outloud. As he started to walk back to his room he walked past Emma's door. They hadn't touched her room so ofcourse it was still there. Putting his hand on the door it creaked open and he saw the once familiar sights. He walked inside of her room.

Jesse sat on her bed and pulled one of her pillows into his lap as he hugged it. "Emma I miss you so much." He said as he choked down the words. Usually Jesse was strong but were Emma had been concerned he couldn't help showing his emotions. He loved her so much. All the sudden he saw something glittery sticking out of one of her bureau drawers. He grabbed it and saw it was a locket he once gave Emma. He held it in his hand and slipped it into his pocket. "Ill keep it forever." He murmered when all the sudden he heard a yell.

He ran towards the sound and was shocked to find out it had came from the lab. Within seconds Shalimar and Brennan had shown up at the lab door and seconds after that Lexa showed up. Shalimar was horrified. "JESSE PHASE THE DOOR ADAM COULD BE INTROUBLE." She yelled and he obeyed phasing it as they all walked in. Seeing Adam on the computer Shalimar ran towards him. "Whats wrong?" She asked as she grabbed his arms and she saw him white faced.

She turned to the computer and gave a gasp of shock. "Guyys..." She trembled. "Its Emma!" Jesse stared in disbelief and ran towards the computer. "Where where?" He asked out of breath as Brennan followed him. Shalimar pointed to the screen and they all watched as a picture came in and out of view. The picture was a bit fuzzy but they could still tell the features of their once thought dead friend.

"But it can't be... She's dead." Jesse said and Shalimar interupted. "It has to be... Look at the date on the side of the camera." They all looked and sure enough it was the correct date. "Oh my god." Brennan whispered as they watched Emma on screen. Jesse put his hand on the screen like he was trying to grab Emma.

"Shalimar, Jesse, Brennan, Adam... Anyone please you have to pick up guys." Emma said scared

as she twisted her hair. "Come on guys pick up... Your scaring me." She had a look of fright

on her face as her voice got frantic. "Jesse please you have to find me. Its cold and dark and

im afraid Jesse. I'm so afraid. " Emma wiped a tear away from her eyes. "Jesse PICK UP!!!" She

screamed into the camera as she started crying. "Jesse I'm so scared..." All the sudden a door

opened and Emma screamed. "JESSE THEIR BACK!" She cried as a man came onto scream. "Say

goodbye to your friends." He sneered. She whimpered. "Please." She begged.

"JESSE DONT LET HIM HURT ME!"

The connection started fading out and Jesse moved his hand from the screen to the desk and he pounded it with anger when the only connection between him and Emma had cut off completely.

"Jesse I got a location."
