chapter 15 I'm sorry
"What?" Brennan surprisedly blurt out. He unvoluntarily stood up and raised his voice. "What do you exactly mean by 'Emma's going alone inside'?"
"I mean that she is gonna be alone inside the building." Adam calmly replied; placing his hands inside his lab gown's pocket. Jesse's gonna be out side the building in his camaro and he'll be feeding us tapped video from the hotel room where Emma would be taken." He explained as he looked at Jesse. "Shalimar," he motioned at Shalimar as he glanced at her. "...will stay here on computer center to feed you informations which you are going to need one way or another." He smiled at her although Shalimar really wanted to be at the field, she has no choice but to follow what Adam instructed. "You, on the other hand, will be inside the building as a service boy on that floor where Emma will be taken."
"And Emma would be alone inside the room with the old guy?" Brennan repeated.
Jesse sighed. "How many times does Adam need to repeat it man?"
"And besides," Shalimar added. "You will not see a prositute with a chaperone."
Brennan bit his lips and shook his head. "That is not my point..."
"Then what is?" Adam said trying to control himself. "Brennan, you have to know that Emma is powerful as you are and the others. Wake up, Bren. Emma is not the little girl you used to protect." He told him sofltly, trying to convince him to let go. "Emma's all grown now. She's young, powerful, strong..."
"And damn pretty too..." Jesse added when Emma stepped in the lab wearing a tight black midrib tops and snake skin mini skirt. All heads flew to Emma's direction.
Emma smiled at them swaying her head a little to the right. "What do you think?" she turned around slowly allowing everyone to gaze at her enticing body.
"Damn, you are sexy girl." Shalimar exclaimed in awe. "Where did you got it?" She walked closed to her and checked the fabric up upclose, feeling it's soft touch. How she wish she could wear that.
"Jesse picked it for me." Emma explained then gave Jesse a wink which Jesse returned with a shy smile.
"I just knew it will look good on you. Don't yo think?" Jesse addressed Brennan.
"Don't you think?" Jesse repeated as all eyes locked on Brennan "Brennan?" Jesse sheepishly called out.
"Huh? Brennan's attention was finally caught. His mind was stucked on Emma's form and it filled him; filled his brain, thoughts, and mind for a while. Emma is still Emma. The same person he fell in love with; the same person he loves; the same person he's going to love for the rest of his life. Brennan shook his head. "What was that?"
"I think we just got the answer for that." Adam grinned which was followed by a roaring laughter from the group.
"Well..." Emma interrupted when the laughter begun to cease. "We should get going. We don't want to be late, do we?" she smiled and walked out of the lab.
"I'll get the car ready." Jesse stood up and followed Emma.
Shalimar sighed knowing that she'll be left in the Sanctuary with Adam. "Then i guess I should head to the computer Center." She stood up and kissed Brennan before she left.
Brennan was about to go when Adam stopped him. "Brennan. Do you want to tell me something?" Adam started hoping that Brennan would open up.
Brennan shook his head. "Nope... there isn't."
Adam sighed. "Well, if that is so then you should go now."
Brennan went straight to his room. He closed the door and breathed out heavily. He closed his eyes as he tried to recall what just happened a minute ago. He could see Emma smile into Jesse's eyes; He could see Emma winking at Jesse; He could see that Emma has gotten over him. She was over him and she was happy. She was happier without him.
Brennan shook his head as tears begun to flow from his chocolate brown eyes. Emma was everything he ever wanted and now she is gone. He could not bare the thought of living a lifetime without her.
He started reassessing his decisions. Is not telling Shalimar the best choice. Is supressing his feelings good for him and others? How long could he convince himself that he could love Shalimar sooner or later.
"I need you Emma!" He uttered blankly. He wept as he prayed to whatever gods he has to help him get Emma back to him.
oOo
Jesse made some innovations to the camaro. He made sure that the car is bullet proof, sound proof plus he added in stealth mode. He smiled as he finished adding in other innovation then he let out a deep breath. Finally, he thought. He reached for the key in his pocket and started the car. He placed the com link near his mouth and called out... "Ems, we need to go!" he checked his reflection on the mirror as he waited for Emma's reply. He looked at his unshaved beard, something which he intended so he would look more rugged.
"I'll be down in a minute." He heard Emma's voice from his comlink. He then placed his hands on the wheels, took a deep breath, then moved the car near the transport stable exit. From his seat he saw Brennan walking out of the lower base into the stable. He noticed that his eyes were red and looked as if he just finished crying.
"Brennan." he called from his position. "Are you okey, man?" He was sincerely worried.
"Yeah, yeah!" Brennan called back, trying his best to avoid Jesse's scrutiny. He got inside his motorcycle, put his helmet on, and sped out of the Sanctuary.
Jesse shooked his head. Brennan could be a pain at timeshe thought. Just as he watched Brennan walked out of the door, he heard foots steps going towards him. He turned to the direction of the sound and found lovely Emma standing out side. Jesse unlocked the door and let Emma in.
Emma got in the car and her eyes travelled the car's interrior. "Wow! A lot has changed." She exclaimed and Jesse nodded with a grin. She then locked the door, fasten her seat belt then looked at Jesse and said..."Shall we?"
Jesse laughed. He knew that Emma was trying to keep herself busy. A way to keep herself from thinking about her pains and problem. Jesse was happy for her. She has been in pain for so long. It was just about time that she forget all of those.
"We are going now." Jesse checked in with Shalimar from the car's transever. "Good-luck" they heard Shalimar's voice from the other line. with that, Jesse drove out of the safety of the place they called home.
oOo
Shalimar stared that the big LCD in front of her. There were too many codes that she was not used to. Of course she know what it meant only she processess the codes slower than it is supposed to be. Damn she whispered.
Shalimar could still see how Brennan looked at Emma moments ago. Emma was a beauty, of course, but Brennan eyes gazed at her with hunger and awe and fear and at the same time his eyes worshiped her as if Emma was a precious little thing; Brennan looked at Emma the way Shalimar wanted him to do for her.
She prayed that Brennan would looked at her like that. As if she was a goddess to him. There was a part of her brain that tells her Brennan didn't mean anything with that. He was a man and any man would look at Emma the way Brennan did. Yet a part of her tells her otherwise.
Shalimar shook her head and tried to consentrate on her job. "I just got through the hotel's security." She called out to her transever.
"Good work, girl friend" Shalimar heard Emma's voice. "We all knew you could do it, afterall, you have been staying in the Sanctuary the longest." Emma giggled.
"Hey, you don't have to talk about the age you know..." She laughed. "I will contact you again for other infos." with that she ended the call. She glanced at the radar and saw Brennan's signal light was moving too fast. She knew at that instance that Brennan was over speeding.
There is a problem and she knew it but she also knew that opening it up is not the best option right now. she sighed and decided that she should wait. She should wait, for that is all she could do.
oOo
It was not long before they got to their destination. Jesse parked the car in an alley near the hotel. He pulled off a keyboard and tried calling the team.
"Brennan, are you in position." He called out
"I'm in the elevator alone going to the fifth floor. Russ just checked-in in the other hotel were he's going to pay Emma." Brennan stopped when the elevator door opened. He smiled at the passing guest and headed to the target room. "The target is here." He whispered.
Jesse nodded blankly and contacted Shalimar. "tap into all security cam and frezze them when Emma walks in."
"Got it" Shalimar responded.
"Are you ready now?" Jesse looked at Emma and took her hand. Emma breathed aloud and nodded.
Emma gathered all her courage and interrupted. "Guys..." this made the team stopped from whatever they are doing. "...I know that you think I do not know much of my powers but you have to believe that they are powerful than they look. Now I might be forced to do something big here. If you don't want me in you mind and if you don't want me to know your deepest secret or anything close to that, please trust me when i say you have to separate youself from me."
"what do you mean, separate?" Shalimar confusedly ask.
"I mean you should not think about me, think of me. Don't think of anything that has to do with me."
"That would be hard, Ems." Jesse worriedly replied.
"I know." Emma said softly. "But you must try." she explained, took her purse and left.
