Right here's the second part. Nor really sure where this is going so bear with me.

Shalimar's senses were going crazy, the smell of nature mixed with bacon and eggs was attracting every part of her body and mind. Jesse mean while was more concerned that Shalimar didn't get anywhere near the food until it was ready. “SHALIMAR its not cooked yet.” Jesse massed to stop her getting past.

“Move yourself or I will.” her eyes glowed gold as her feral side took over.

“You know what I think you need.” Emma turned from the sauce pan to look at the feral.

“And what is that?” A wary tone had come into Shal's voice.

“A nice relaxing time where there's no crazy senses,”

“Emma if you weren't stopping me from being mad, I'd be mad at you right now.”

Jesse laughed and continued to block Shalimar's way. It was then that Brennan appeared with plates and cups. Emma put the food on the plates and filled each of the cups up.

“That was sooooooooooooooooooooo good!” Shalimar finished off her food and began to eye up Brennan's.

“You dare Shal and you'll be able to light a town.” he let blue arks dance through his fingers.

Emma took another bit of bread “ Was it better when you had to wait?”

“It sooooooooooooooooooooo was.”

“And this way it won't make you ill.” Jesse smirked.

Shal jerked her head around “Don't know Jess, Brennan helped too so..”

“You two can do the washing up.”Brennan placed his now empty plate on Jesse's lap. “Right I'm off for a run.”

The three watched Brennan walk off towards the car get in and drive off. “Interesting 'run' that he's taking” Jesse said.

In the car Brennan looked back at the camp then called Adam.

“Hey Adam?”

“Yep, every thing going ok.”

“Fine, umm listen has Emma ever said anything about her Dad?”

“Not to me. But I can look in the Geomex files, they had you all under good surveillance in the beginning. Can I ask why”

Brennan could hear Adam start typing at the computer. “No thank just send the files.”

“And as for why? I presume that this is some over protective stunt that if Emma found out she would melt your mind?”

“Adam are you sure that Emma's the psionic one?”

“Brennan!”

“Ok ok, it's just she said something about her father living near here and I was wounded..”

“Leave it. Brennan do you understand that. L E A V E I T! If Emma tells you then that's fine but otherwise. Leave it.”

“Alright.” Brennan terminated the link. Why would Adam be so instint that he shouldn't press the subject? What was it about Emma and her family that she didn't want anyone to know? Brennan hit the steering wheel in frustration.

The child pushed the front door open. She tip-toed in, already knowing that her parents were in. Moving as quietly as possible she headed for the stairs. The girl manged to get to her bedroom door before.

“Come here.” She froze. If she went in she was safe, for awhile, if she stayed still he might leave, if she went then it might not be so bad. Too late, he had already made up his mind. He swung his fist catching the side of her face and lip. Blood immediately starting dripping from the lip. “Have you forgotten the rules?” He held her wrist tight. The child shook her head. “I think you have. I think you need to be reminded of the rules.” He dragged her to the top of the stairs.

“Rule number one do as you're told.” The man gave her a push and the child fell, she felt every step, every hard surface connecting with her body.

At the camp Jesse was washing uo the dishes, while the girls sun bathed on the lake side. Jesse smiled to himself, how fortunate he was that he had here two of the most beautiful women in the world. However there was one thing wrong, they weren't paying him any attention. He'd have to change that.

“That's not true, I am paying you attention, I think about how sweet it is that you've agreed to wash the plated for us.” there was almost an audio-able giggle in Emma's voice.

“Was he thinking about us?”

“Uhuh, he was think about how he was lucky and that we should pay more attention to him.”

“More attention huh? I think I could do that. Jesse come here.” Shal beckoned him.

Jesse moved towards the girls holding something behind his back. Shal extended her hand. He moved closer. Then splash! A cup of water washed down over the blond's hair. This invited a full on war, no holes barred.

By the time Brennan returned all three mutants were on the ground laughing.

Night fell on the camp and the mutants retired to bed. But just 2 miles away in a small wooded cabin a man sat looking at the pictures he'd taken that morning while fishing. “So young lady you're back. Now I wonder if you remember the rules.”
