There's Just Some Major Issues
Chapter Two
Chase Davenport's Video Journals #9
The first night in the penthouse was strange.
Or, really, the first few weeks.
Lee practically avoided Oliver and Kaz.
The team meeting was rough for her. Then, that night Kaz kept flirting with her before she eventually stood up and stormed up the stairs.
She stayed in her room (Mr. Davenport ended up having an extra room, so he gave it to Lee, as she wanted to attempt to get jobs here) all night. She didn't even come out for dinner.
The next morning, she left a note on the door, saying she went to a job interview with Centium City's National Weather Service office for a open meteorologist position and that she wouldn't be back for a while.
Turns out, she came back very late. She's trying too hard to avoid the people she needs to work with. However it's not her fault that she's doing this.
Kaz and Oliver creeped her out. Kaz kept flirting with her and all Oliver wanted to do was bombard her with questions over college.
As her older brother, this had to stop for her comfort (Also, so we could get her to go on missions).
One evening, Lee crept down the stairs using her invisibility app. We all were currently on the couch, enjoying some movie that Bree insisted on renting and watching.
As I was about to doze off (the movie was painfully boring), I felt a tap on my shoulder and a whisper in my ear.
"Help me."
I stood up and claimed that I was going to bed. I then went upstairs to Lee's room and found her sitting at her desk, staring at her phone.
"What's up, Lee?" I asked as I walked over to her.
She turned to look at me. "I want to leave."
"What?" I exclaimed. "It's only been two weeks. Besides, Kaz and Oliver should leave you alone in a few weeks once they figure out what you're like."
I keeled down to whisper in her ear.
"They don't know how dark your songs are."
I stood back up to see a mischievous grin on her face.
"You're right!" She said. "Alright, I'll stay."
"Is anything else wrong?" I asked.
She sighed. "Other than the fact the people who interviewed me are taking an eternity to call back. But there really isn't anything we can do about that now."
I chuckled. "Yeah. Well, I'd better go to bed." I patted her on the back. "Good luck."
Lee smiled and laughed a bit. "Alright. Goodnight, Chase."
"Goodnight, Lee-bee." I said as I left the room and closed the door.
The Next Day...
The next morning, I came down to see Lee sitting on the couch, staring at her phone again.
"Please tell me you didn't do that all night?" I said as I walked over to join her on the couch.
She smiled. "No. They said they'd call me in the following three days after my interview."
"Okay." I said and looked around. "What do you want for breakfast?"
"Um, I don't know." She said.
I was about to suggest something before Lee's phone rang.
She gasped and grabbed the phone, then stood up.
"Hello?" She said.
"Yes, this is Baylee Adalyn Davenport." She said.
I stared up at her as she continued the discussion with the person on the phone.
"Alright, bye." She said after a few minutes.
I looked to Lee. "So? What's the verdict?"
She looked at me and smiled, tears of happiness streaming down her face. "I got the job!"
I stood up and hugged her. Then, the rest of the team came downstairs.
"Well, what's happening down here?" Skylar asked.
Lee and I broke the hug up.
"I got a job at the Centium City National Weather Service!" Lee said excitedly.
"Wow, congratulations, Lee!" Oliver said.
"That's great!" Bree said. "Now, what's for breakfast?"
"Um," I said. "Let's just do eggs and toast."
"Alright." Kaz said. "You won't burn them like Skylar did."
"Okay, that was one time!" Skylar exclaimed.
Several minutes later, we had all eaten and went down to Mission Command to begin training.
Davenport had left a list of things to work on for, what we were calling, "Silver," as on the surveillance tape, the screen flashed sliver when the mysterious being passed the camera.
It was evident that Kaz, Oliver and Skylar had continued training long after we finished off the shape-shifters.
Kaz's aim was magnificent, Oliver had mastered his powers, and Skylar was, well, Skylar.
Bree, Lee and I were also doing pretty well for ourselves all throughout training, as we had to stay on top of things while we were hiding from the government.
Once we completed training for the day, we all went upstairs to either shower, eat or check their email. Lee and Skylar checked their emails after they each had showered, while Kaz, Oliver, Bree and I showered, then grabbed something to eat.
From the kitchen table, I watched Lee and Skylar talk and laugh. I smiled a bit. At least Skylar is getting along fine with Lee. Of course, Lee would get along just fine with Kaz and Oliver, if they wouldn't hit on her or ask her questions she doesn't want to answer.
"Hey, Lee," Bree asked. "When do you begin working?"
"Um," Lee said as she scrolled through her email. "Tuesday of next week. Looks like they want to train me Wednesday."
"Alright." Bree said.
The rest of the day went by quickly. Of course, until Lee and I found ourselves on a mission.
Just us.
