Chapter 1 : Trapped
Chase's POV
A deadly silence filled the room as me, Adam, Bree, , and Leo stood hopelessly in captivity trapped inside a cage. Every second we stand in this cage, Marcus and Douglas are still winning. I will not let them get away with all this damage they have caused our family. I will destroy them once we get out of here.
I look around and note my surroundings. I look for just a small item in the cage that might ignite a small flame of hope that we might get out of here alive. There's nothing. Absolutely nothing here. There has to be some solution. The worst part about being trapped inside an extremely small cave is not being able to use my bionics. The second worst part is being trapped inside a cage with Adam ( I am certain he has not bathed in months ) and who just looks at himself in the mirror. Seriously, who carries a mirror in their pocket.
Adam yawns and his morning breath is enough to make me faint. "I'm hungry," he says. Bree looks at him in amazement.
I roll my eyes. "We're trapped inside a cage and we're being held in captivity by a bunch of maniacs, but sure Adam, you just go on and worry about what you are going to eat in the next minute." That is if we are even still alive by then.
Marcus opens the door and yells to Douglas : "They are coming!" Douglas nearly spills coffee on himself. He quickly jumps up from his seat and presses a button. What is he doing? I think. And who is coming?
Just as Douglas smacks a huge, green glowing button, another door opens, and our cage is turned invisible. "What's going on?" Bree and Leo whisper at the same time. shushes them and motions for them to just listen, wait and see. It would be so much easier if my bionics were working. Then I could use my advanced hearing to hear the conversation. I close my eyes and strain my ears.
I hear three sets of footsteps enter through the door. "Hey Douglas. Hey Marcus! What's going on?" The voice belongs to a male. "It has been way too long since we stepped foot into this lab," the guy says.
A small and quiet laugh escapes the other person. A girl's voice says "You are so dramatic. Its been two days."
A deeper voice booms "Children leave us please. Douglas and I have some things to catch up on. There are some very important matters to discuss that must be addressed." Who is this guy? I must have miscalculated. There are four people who entered.
A third voice replies, "Yes dad. Of course." Footsteps beat further and further away. A door closes and another one will soon open.
"Douglas, has it been done already? Have you done what I have asked of you yet?" The man's voice asked in hushed tones.
"It has been done. I perfected Marcus with the use of the Triton App you sent me. I even improved the Triton App. All of this power with just a push of the button. Oh and I even sent Marcus to pick up a few extra surprises," Douglas says and I can tell he's smiling as he says this. I hear a push of the button and the cage becomes visible again. We can finally see who Douglas is talking to and they can see us now.
The person Douglas was talking to has dark brown skin, black eyes and is wearing a dark, black suit. The man smiles with twisted pleasure at the sight of us beat up and hopeless. The man turns back to Douglas with his eyes gleaming with malicious greed, pride, and delight at our suffering. "Has the triton app been installed inside them already?"
Douglas shakes his head. "No sir…Not yet. I have to run some more tests on Marcus first before I try anything on the kids." The man's face scrunches up with annoyance. Douglas almost looks afraid in the moment, but then he returns back to his original demeanor. "But it will be done soon." The man walks closer to Douglas and orders through gritted teeth "I want it done by tomorrow or else I will have your replacement before you can even apologize to me for your stupidity. Is that understood?" Douglas nods.
The man clears his throat and makes his way to the cage. He smiles with deception hiding beneath his facade of friendliness. "You must be Donald Davenport. I have heard great things about you." says nothing, but his stare says enough. The man continues to talk. "But look at you now. The great Donald Davenport, head of Davenport Industries, the man behind the genius, is now rotting away in a cage filled with his little…inventions that cannot save him and have let him down yet again. Who could have guessed that this would be your fate." ' tightens his fists in anger. "Not so great now are you?" The man taunts. The man steps back with malice in his eyes. His eyes are as cold as the heart and soul of the devil himself.
"Lets get to work on the Triton App. I have the perfect test subjects for the job," the man says while looking at us.
"Oh no! He's going to us the Triton App on us!" Bree exclaims in fear.
Though testing the triton app on us would make the most sense, I have a feeling that he was not talking about us. Were those three kids bionic?
I look up. "No. Not ."
