Here it is, the new chapter...yay...

Shalimar tried not to panic as she untangled herself and crawled out of the car window. People were coming out of everywhere to see the accident. Looking around she found the cause of it all. Well actually, she smelled it before she saw it. A man and a woman stumbled out of an SUV reeking of alcohol. Shalimar’s blood started boiling.

“Adam?” She called through her comm link.

“What is it Shalimar?”

“There’s been an accident. Emma’s unconscious. We were hit by an SUV.” She said trying to stay as calm as possible.

“Alright don’t worry, the boys will be there soon. Just hang tight.”

Shalimar made her way over to Emma’s window. She cringed at the sight of her. The psionic was upside down held up by her seat belt. Blood was trickling up her face making small patterns on the roof of the car. Shalimar reached around her ready to catch her as she released the belt. Emma fell none to gently in the feral’s arms. She tried pulling her out of the window without hurting her anymore than she already was.

“Shal can you hear me?”

“Jesse? Where are you guys?”

“We’re two minutes away, how’s Emma doing?”

“I don’t know,” Shalimar cried, she was trying to hold it together but having Emma unconscious and bleeding in her arms was to overwhelming.

“She’s pretty beat up Jess.”

“Don’t worry Shal, we’ll be right there.”

The whirring of Ambulance and police sirens was blaring in the distance. Glancing up at the scene Shalimar saw some other cars that had been hit also. One of them was almost ripped in half from the impact. Another had 2 children inside. Nobody wanted to touch them for fear of making their injuries worse. The sound of familiar footsteps brought Shalimar back to her own distress. The look on their faces when they saw Emma didn’t make her feel any better. Brennan lifted Emma out of her arms, his brow furrowed with worry.

“Come on Shal” Jesse said helping her off the ground. He put her arm around his neck and his arm around her waist. She didn’t even realize she had a gash in her leg and was limping.

“Where’s the Helix?”

“It’s cloaked behind that house.” Jesse motioned three houses down. Brennan had already disappeared with Emma.

“Shal what happened back there?”

“We were pulled over on the side of the road and the next thing I knew we were flying through the air.”

“Did you see who did it?”

“Drunk driver.”

They both walked silently the rest of the way. When they got there Jesse set Shalimar down. He put the Helix on auto pilot home.

“How’s she doing?” Shalimar asked Brennan.

“She should be fine. She’s just bruised up a bit, Nothing a few stitches wont fix. I think the impact just knocked her out. How are you feeling? That looks pretty painful.” He said motioning to her leg.

“I’ll be fine. Just a little flesh wound right?”

“You tell me.” Brennan said applying the last butterfly stitch to Emma’s head.

“There are more important things for me to worry about.” She said taking a gauze and wiping the excess blood off of Emma’s forehead.

“She might need some real stitches on her lip.” Jesse said coming over.

“I’ll leave those to Adam. I’m sure Shal will have my head if I mess those up.” Brennan said.

“That’s right, but” -

“You should be more worried about me.” Emma said opening her eyes.

“You’re awake. Don’t move baby.” Shalimar said putting her hand on her shoulder.

“I don’t think I could if I tried.” She said wincing. “What happened?”

“We were hit by a car.” Shalimar dabbing her lip with the gauze.

“Drunk driver.” Jesse chimed in.

“Are you okay?” Emma asked Shalimar.

“I just have a little cat scratch.” she smiled.

“Yeah looks like a wild cat did it.” Brennan winked at Emma.

“Don’t give me that look. It’s nothing.”

“Jesse how is she?”

“She’s awake, little bruised up. She needs some stitches but we’ll be there in about 10 minutes.”

“And Shalimar’s okay?”

“She’ll be fine. Nasty gash on her leg. You know it takes more than a car crash to knock Shal down.”

Minutes later Adam stood waiting for the Helix in the hanger . Brennan walked out first with Emma in his arms. Jesse followed helping Shalimar walk down.

“Let’s get you girls patched up.” Adam said eyeing them over.

Two hours later after Adam scanned, stitched, scanned and bandaged, the girls rested in the living room. Emma sat with her legs over Shalimar’s.

“I’m so glad you’re okay. You really scared me back there.” Shalimar said caressing Emma’s face. She was careful not to touch any of the scratches randomly scattered on her face.

“I wasn’t scared. I knew you were there to keep me safe. And then my head hit the window.” Emma laughed.

“It’s not funny.” Shalimar said holding her tighter. “I’m just glad it’s over.”

“Me too.” Emma leaned in to give her a kiss. Shalimar kissed the side of her lip to avoid her stitches.

“What was that?”

“I don’t want to hurt you.”

“You think my lip is gross don’t you!”

“No I don’t, I love your lips.”

“Then why won’t you kiss me?!”

“Because you’ve got stitches babe.”

“Oh my god they hurt so bad.” Emma cried burying her face in Shalimar’s neck. They both laughed, flinching with pain after every breath.
