Sorry if this is some what late. I've been sick for a week now.
Here's the next chapter. Enjoy
I'm Sorry
"Damn it" Emma cursed as she looked at herself on the mirror after a quick shower. Brennan was there, pouring his heart and at that very moment she shot him of when that was the very thing she was been waiting. "HOw stupid can I get?" She told herself.
"Argh!" she then threw her hair towel against the mirror inside her bathroom and got out into her bedroom. She hurried to the cabinet and fished a shirt and underwears. She put them on and sat on her bed before taking the hair dryer.
She sighed before starting to brush her brunette locks. Is she regreting her earlier actions? A scene from the early event flashed across her wits. Brennan had confessed that he loves her. She should be happy, shouldn't she? But why is she feeling this way? Ah! It was useless. She placed the hair dryer on the side table and decided to go to bed with her hair wet.
She tossed and turned and tried her best to fall asleep but it was useless. She was at the mercy of all emotions. She hate to admit it but it seems that she regrets her previous action.
"I should have told him what I honestly felt." she thought allowed and then she cursed. "Damn it!" it was almost a scream. She was a bit surprised when she heard a knock on her door. "Brennan" she said automatically. HOping and praying that Brennan have cared enough to try again.
She rose from her bed and quickly rushed to the door. "Brennan." she said again as she opened her door.
"I'm not him." was the sentence that greeted her when she had pull the door open.
"Jess," she said, a bit embarrased by the scene. "..it's late."
Jesse's lips curve in a perfect smile. "I know that, but Adam wants us to finish this mess." he said, pointing at the lab where Franscis has been lying. "Besides, it's only 11 in the evening." he glanced at the wall clock hanging inside Emma's room.
Emma followed his stare and saw her clock. Yes, usually, at this she would still be working. "Alright." she returned to him. "I'll get a decent clothes." she waited for Jesse's approval before she closed the door and got a better clothing.
oOo
Shalimar lay silently on their bed. It was just 11:00 and it is her time to prowl. But her schedule change When she was gotten pregnant. She winced on the thought. She hate keeping secrets from her friends. She hate that she has to do alot of nasty things to get want she wants. Ahh!--She Sighed as her round full breast shifted when she moved. She had to rest.
Shalimar counted the droplets of moist on their glassed window to force herself to fall asleep but it was useless. "Grrr!" she growled and then got off the bed. It was just then that she realized that Brennan was still not there.
Shalimar moved around and got her robe finally deciding to exhaust herself by looking for Brennan. She grab her comlink and wore it before leaving the room.
oOo
"Ah, there you are." Adam greeted Emma when she and Jesse came in the lab. "We've been waiting for you."
Emma smiled and took seat and settled herself on it. "Let me guess. You want to wake him up?" she beamed kidding.
"Ting! Ting! Ting! You just won a trip to Europe! Congratulation miss de Lauro." Jesse did a perfect impression of a Game show host and everyone laughed.
Emma stood up and walked close to Franscis. "Here we go." She took a deep breath and gave him a shot. Adam and Jesse turned their heads away, avoiding the light which Emma unknowingly emits. The vision was good for 5 minutes then it ended. Franscis started moving. His fingers slowly moved followed by his eyes and then he took a abrupt and quick breath as if he held his breath for more than too long.
"Where am I?" Franscis asked a little frightened. He turned around, sight still hazzy, trying his best to recognize anyone. He turned his head and there he found her. "Emmie?"
Emma smiled a little too weird then moved closer to him. "It's Emma." she said and willed him to sit on the med bed again.
"What?" Franscis was a little disorriendted. What was this lady talking about?--he thought.
"Oh, relax. We are not gonna hurt you." Emma said charmingly.
"He's awake?" Everyone turned to the owner of the voice.
"Shal. You finally decided to grace this occassion with the feral's presence." Jesse greeted and then he walked towards her to offer help with her walking which Shalimar turned down with a small smile.
"What are you still doing here...awake?" Adam commented.
Shalimar walked towards a cushioned chair and sat down. "I was just looking around for Brennan." she said calmly. "Have you seen him?" she looked at Adam.
"No, I haven't." was Adam's terse reply, making it clear that he wants to drop the topic.
Shalimar was happy about Adam's decision and she just stayed there to observe.
"What is this?" Franscis asked, interrupting their small talk.
Shalimar eyed the man and then turned her eyes around the lab. "I think it wouldn't take a genious to figure that this is a lab."
"Miss, I'm not an idiot." Franscis, embarrassed by Shalimars comment, defended himself. "I know verywell what this place is."
"Shalimar." Adam called for her to stop. shalimar got what Adam wanted to say and she stopped. Adam turned politely to Franscis. "You don't have to worry Dr. McHobby, you are safe here." Adam calmly assured him.
"How did you? ... Who are you? ... Where am I?" Franscis was a little frantic.
"I'm Adam and these--" Adam wasn't able to finish his sentence when Franscis stood up and interrupted him.
"YOu're from...yes, you are his agents." Franscis stood up again started backing away from them. "I've told you that I would not proceed with the Mutant Project. What do you still want from me?" Franscis continued to back away until he bumped on to something (or someone).
Brennan stood at the Lab entrance, blocking the only exit on sight. Franscis looked his way and was frightened of him. Brennan, as everyone knows, was tall and of broad frame. He could dwarf anyone that comes near him. This was the exact thing that happened to Franscis. He backed away from the tall man in front of him but Brennan was quick and caught him by the shoulder.
Brennan smiled devilishly. "And where do you think are you going?" and pulled him closer and then forced him to sit down. "Sit there and stay there." He commanded him and he obeyed, a bit frightened.
Adam eyed Brennan and the elemental soften a bit.Brennan saw Emma from the corner of his eye so he did his best to avoid her gaze. He was embarrassed of how he acted moments ago. He didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing but he didn't want to know anymore. He was defeated and he was going to accept it now.
Shalimar didn't move for a moment. She was disoriented. Brennan just appeared from nowhere and she didn't know how to react. She knew that his mind was on other things, things that she does not know and it bothers her.
For that time everybody went into serious mode. Now they all mean business. They don't do this very often but it still does not matter.
"What do you want?" Franscis broke the silence, still afraid for his life.
Adam took a nearby chair and sat on it. "What do you remember?" He interrogated. "Tell us, we mean you no harm."
But Franscis was so tensed. He shifted from his position and still do not know how to respond. Emma walked forward. "Maybe I could help you." With that, Emma gave him a soothing psy-blast, the one that she often use.
Franscis never had this feeling before. Somehow, he felt secured. He was floating as if he took some kind of drug that acts as tranquilizer.
"Talk to me, Doctor." Adam willed him. "Talk to us. Help us help you."
Franscis returned Adam's gaze. "What do you want to know?"
Jesse felt that Franscis was ready to talk. He prepared the recording device and signaled for Adam to continue the interrogation.
"There are this people who wants to kill you. Do you have any idea who they are?"
Franscis was silent for awhile until he decided to tell them and his answer shocked them. "GENOMEX".
"This is impossible." Shalimar blurted out involuntarily. "Genomex has been closed for four years now."
Adam noticed Jesse's reaction. "What is it Jess?" He asked him
Jesse didn't know if he should tell them, afterall he was sure about the news that he got. "I'm not really sure Adam, but I've received this information that GENOMEX has been operating underground."
"When did you know this?" Brennan did his share in the conversation.
Jesse turned to his direction. "A year... or so." He replied, bowing low.
"For christ's sake Jess, this is the second time you kept something really important from us." Brennan expressed his disappointment.
"I didn't have the basis so I kept quiet." Jesse explained.
Emma came to Jesse's rescue. "It was not his fault. It was not anyones fault. Now quit blaming everyone and let's focus on the problem." she returned her gaze to Franscis. "Now, Doctor, do you have any idea why they want you dead?"
Franscis nodded. "I was working for him in the underground. He gave me mutated DNA and had me work on a serum that will neutralize them."
"Neutralize? meaning..."
"Wipe out there mutation as if it never existed." Franscis answered Jesse's query.
"That's impossible!... Is it?" Shalimar asked and she looked at Adam in search for answer. Everyone was silent still waiting for Adam's answer.
"Yes, it is possible." He sadly expressed.
Jesse thought for a while and then demanded another explanation. "If you were working for him, why then does he wants you dead."
Franscis returned Jesse's stare. "Why should I tell you? For all I know, you could be his agent." he doubted.
Jesse lost his patient and moved to harass the doctor. His fist was an inch away from the man's face but Emma had stopped him right on time. Her mind connected with his and he could not move. For a moment there, Franscis thought that it was over for him but everything stopped and he didn't feel the impact of Jesse's fist.
Adam grabbed Jesse and pulled him off. "Stop this Jesse. We need him alive." he said firmly. Adam glanced at everyone. "Okay, we're through for now." He signaled for Emma and with that Emma gave Franscis another psi-blast to knock him to sleep.
