CHAPTER THREE: Rescuing Emma
Jesse lay in bed wondering if she was okay. The team had told him to wait for morning so Adam could double check the location and do a GPS so that he could make sure it wasn't a trap. But Jesse couldn't willingly sleep knowing that the woman he loved who he thought was dead was actually alive and in trouble. Jesse still held her locket in his hand. He wiped a tear away from his eye as he stared at a picture of them together. He threw the covers off of the bed and got up and headed straight for the lab. He was already dressed since he had been planning this since the team told him to wait.
He walked into the lab and grabbed the keys to the helix. He also jotted down the location and headed straight for the helix. He didn't care that he could be risking his life by going along. Afterall it was Emma he was risking his life for... She deserved it. Within minutes he was in the helix and taking off. "Im coming Emma." He whispered as he started to pilot the helix towards the location that he had jotted down.
Within 30 minutes he was there. It would have taken him longer except he had speeded there. Walking up to the door he phased through it with a synch and knocked out a couple of guards with single punches as he walked down a long hall... Finally he phased through a door and saw Emma lying there pale and unconsious. "EMMA!" He shouted running to her as he grabbed her hand her eyes opened big. "Jesse... Its a t..tr...tra.. trap!" She wheezed out as a cold voice said with a sneering tone.
"Very good Mr. Killmartin you managed to find Ms. DeLauro. Too bad your both going to die, So wheres the rest of your team mates." Jesse turned around and saw Mason Eckhart. "Their positioned around the building." Jesse managed to lie knowing he should never reveal he came alone. "And they will attack if I dont come out in five minutes." Mason laughed. "Then go... Maybe you can come back for Ms. DeLauro later." Jesse grabbed Emma's arm. "Let me put it a different way. I dont have any team members out there and if you want to stay alive you better move out of the way and let me leave with Emma." Mason laughed again.
"Is that so... " All the sudden his voice got interupted by a loud whack hitting the side of his face leaving a huge red mark. "Get out of the way Eckhart. I dont want to hurt you." Jesse says with a threatening tone as he hits Eckhart again. Eckhart falls to the ground with a thump and Jesse turns to Emma. "Come on Em.. We're getting you out of here." Emma nods and whispers. "Jesse I thought I would never see you again." She says definatly in pain as she collapses back.
Jesse puts his hands on her back and lifts her up into his arms with ease as he carrys her out of the room. "Come on Emma, I'm bringing you home." He says heading for the exit. She lifts her frail arms so that their around his neck. A few more Genomex try to stop him but he easily knocks them out without having to set Emma down.
As he enters the helix he sets her down on a blanket he had put on the floor. He sets the helix into autopilot and sets the destination as home. Once its all set up he walks to her side and tends to her gently and carefully. Washing the cuts with a tender hand and gently kissing her face finally happy because shes alive and with him.
When the helix lands at home Jesse noticing Shalimar, Brennan and Adam are waiting angrily. He see's Lexa in the distance with a confused look on her face. "Jesse you nitwit you could have been killed. Where did you go and why?" Shalimar asks with a motherish tone. "Calm down guys." Jesse says from inside the helix still hidden. He lifts Emma up and carrys her out.
"EMMA!" Shalimar shouts as she runs over to her. Soon Brennan follows and after Adam gets over the shock he also follows. "She's alive! She's alive." Shalimar says as she hugs Emma. "But how?" She asks and Jesse just looks at her. "Who cares how... Emma back and alive. And if I can help it she's never gonna leave us again." Everyone watchs as Jesse puts her locket around her neck and carrys her to her room.
