Hey guys! Long time no see? I can't believe this is my first 'novel' type story I have come up with since 2009! Well I'm back now and so excited to write this story. There is an important authors note at the end so PLEASE READ IT! Otherwise sit back, relax and enjoy the story.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Except Ashley, Jacob and James. They are my bionic human creations I made of food colouring.


CHASE

"Adam! I will get you more pudding cups!" yelled. Adam crossed his arms.

"But I wanted that pudding cup." He pouted. was trying to brief us on our new assignment, but Leo and Adam had gotten into a fight over the last chocolate pudding cup, and as you can see, Adam didn't end up with it. So here we are in the lab, with Davenport pulling out his hair and Adam glaring at Leo who went to stand behind Bree, who was examining her nails and muttering about why she must put up with this every single day.

"Can we please just get on with it?" I shouted, really not in the mood to hear all the yelling that will start any second. With a final exasperated huff, Davenport pulled himself together.

"Alright, so as I was saying. Richmond has collected different pieces of technology from different companies. What for, we don't know." Going to the computer panel, he pushed a few buttons and a holographic image popped up. A slide show began, showing all the different pieces of equipment that's been stolen.

"Has any of your's been stolen?" Leo asked, and Davenport laughed.

"Leo," he slapped a hand on his shoulder. "All my warehouses that have my precious inventions are safely guarded twenty four seven. Nothing and no one get's in or out without my say-so." With a final pat on Leo's head he walked back over to the slide show and explained what each piece was and what they do. But with me being a genius (not that I'm bragging..much) all I needed to do was look and read the description without further information. Sometimes I pitied the other's because they couldn't process stuff as fast as I could. Oh well.

But I began to wonder about the security at warehouse. Judging by the names, these scientists were among the greatest in the world, not that I would tell that to , and they have had their property stolen. Anything is possible, and I couldn't stop the feeling of dread that seemed to wash over. Richmond didn't seem like the type to just go around stealing random pieces of technology. He has to be up to something.

"So today," I quickly snapped out of the different possibilities and theories to pay attention. "I had gotten word from sources that Richmond's men are going to try to take more newly developed technology from this warehouse. The equipment is being stored at this warehouse." He pulled up another holographic image. This time it showed the warehouse and different pieces of equipment used in hospitals.

"Those are for cancer treatments, aren't they?" I looked over to see Davenport nodding slowly.

"What?" Bree shouted. "Their going to steal technology that could help prevent and cure cancer?"

"Well that's stupid and mean." Adam declared, and pulled out a fruit cup from his sweatshirt pocket, and then a spoon from his shoe. I could feel my own disgusted look on my face, and Adam stuck out his tong when he saw my disgusted look.

"But why would they want cancer research and machine stuff?" Leo asked. "All the other things they have taken have to do with rockets and lasers."

"That's just it, no one knows. Each time Richmond takes something, it's random. Nothing adds up." Davenport sighed. "What would a high-speed rocket engine and cancer research have to do with each other?" I admit, even I'm stumped. And I'm the smart one.

"Well, let's get going. We don't know exactly when they're going to arrive. In your tubes everyone!" We all agreed, and Adam threw his fruit cup at Leo before joining Bree and I in the tubes. As always, I felt nothing as Davenport's fingers flew over the panel controlling our tubes, and didn't feel anything when my uniform appeared on my body. Just incase, I looked down to make sure I actually had on my uniform and not one of Bree's outfits.

"Aw man!" Adam whined as we stepped out of our tubes.

"What?" I asked.

"I got stuck with Bree's underwear again." He gave a frustrated sigh while attempting to move around in his suit. Bree's underwear...?

"Wait, we only changed our clothes on top?" I stated.

"Yeah," he said sheepishly before leaning in closer to me. "I ran out of clean one's and grabbed the first pair on top of the dryer that I saw." He drew back quickly and put a finger over his lips. "Don't tell her!" I could only stare at him, and still not understand how he had turned out like this.

"If you knew that they were her's, why didn't you do your own laundry-Wait." I stopped knowing that was a stupid question. "Never mind." Last time Adam had attempted to do his own laundry, he started a flood in the laundry room that had began to fill the first floor with water, soap and thousands upon thousands of bubbles. Who knew we would actually need Davenport's emergency life raft.

"These are really riding up. How are girls so small?" I immediately blocked him out and stroad up to Davenport who was waiting with Bree and Leo, holding hearing pieces.

"Put these on. These will allow me to hear exactly what's going on, and we can communicate."

"Duh," I said sarcastically. Davenport made a face before handing me mine and I put it on my ear.

"I want one!" Leo tried grabbing Adam's but he lifted his arm up, resulting in Leo jumping up and down trying to grab it.

"Sorry little dude, but you took my pudding cup. You can't have it both ways!" Adam shouted before turning around and picking up all of our duffel bags. Davenport rolled his eyes, and I could see him trying to contain his inner rage.

"My plane is waiting on the roof. Get going. Leo," He pointed to the elevator. "Get upstairs!" And then he went back to typing on his computer. I let Bree and Adam go ahead, but I stayed back.

"Mr. Davenport ?" I asked. He made a sound of acknowledgment but didn't look up from his computer screen.

"Are you sure your warehouse is safe? Don't you think it's best to take extra precaution?"

"Chase, I'm telling you." He finally looked at me, and I saw that he didn't seem worried at all. "My warehouse is perfectly safe. Breaking into it is like trying to walk on the moon without a space helmet. It's perfectly safe." And with hat he went back to looking at his computer screen. Even though I know Davenport is an amazing inventor and scientist, things could still go wrong. He might even be underestimating this Richmond guy.

"Alright," I said and turned to head to the plane. I didn't want to let Davenport know I have had doubts in his security system since Richmond came into the picture. Sure at first I believed that he would never be able to breach any system, but over the past three months with him stealing millions of dollars worth of technology from some of the worlds best inventors and scientists, I began to get scared. And that feeling has grown into intense fear after coming back from a dozen unsuccessful missions without any new leads. Trying not to let it interfere in training and my life was becoming a major task.

"Ready," I climbed into the back of the plane and took a seat beside Adam. I buckled myself in and shouted to the pilot. "Let's go!" The pilot nodded and began the take-off. I reached into my duffel bag and pulled out a GPS.

"So where exactly are we going?" Bree asked. I turned the GPS on and read the location Davenport had programmed into it.

"According to this-Adam!" Adam snatched the GPS out of my hands and squinted at the screen.

"We are going to...Just outside of Las Vegas!" He shouted and through the GPS back at me.

"I was going to say it!" I said.

"Yeah," he shrugged his shoulders. "But you took to long." I supressed the irritated sigh I wanted to let out. Leaning against the window, I looked down at the land we crossed while intentionally blocking out Adam and Bree. For the next couple hours, I went over all the possible ways that Richmond could be breaching extremely intense security systems. I also wondered what he could be building. But I didn't really want to think of that, the possibilities are countless.

"We are now nearing destination. Prepare for drop." The pilot said, and I stored all the theories I had away for later.

"Alright guys," I said while un-buckled. "Let's drop." While the plane flew closer, we pulled on our parachutes and grabbed our duffel bags.

"Don't get scared Chase." Adam joked, while punching me on my arm. I gave him my best glare while he did that little giggle/laugh that he does. Still, I looked out of the window again to see how high we were. I wasn't scared of parachuting. I just prefer solid ground.

Adam opened up the door, and one at a time we put our goggles on before flinging ourselves out. As usual Adam screamed all the way down, but it was muffled from the roaring wind as we fell further and further before finally we pulled on the cord and slowly floated our way down. Adam was still screaming.

"Adam shut up!" Bree shouted. I stayed quiet as the two bickered. I just wanted to get through this mission and find out what Richmond is up to. Maybe it would ease some of my stress.


Well there was the first chapter, hope you all liked it. Just to clear up some things, Richmond is an evil inventor/scientist. But don't confuse him with those science-fiction type of scientists, he doesn't want to create 'mud-monsters' or anything like that. What he is up to is a surprise, so stay tuned! And I started the story off where I did, because I just wanted you guys to get the basic understanding that they have been on a mission that is failing, but is very important. Man-kind is on the line! And Chase is acting this way, because this mission is taking so long, and he, a super-genius just can't figure it out. Which to him would be depressing.

SPOILER: In the next chapter, they meet the other bionic team. I can't wait!

So please READ and REVIEW! I will carry on if I keep on getting reviews!

R&R!
