Ranch House
Chapter Six
"Are you done yet?"
Chase glared at Adam from his spot on the couch, where the youngest of the bionic kids was trying to take a nap.
"No." Adam said as he continued to blow up balloons.
Chase sat up on his elbow. "Why are you doing that, anyway?"
"I'm bored." Adam said.
"Can't you do this somewhere else?"
"No."
Chase groaned and went upstairs. He then took a nap in his capsule.
When he woke up, he exited his capsule, checked the time (2:30 PM), and went downstairs.
When he got down there, he immediately went back upstairs and hid behind a wall.
He used his bionic hearing to hear what the intruders were saying.
"Go find him!" One voice said.
"David, I looked everywhere for him and I can't find him. Will you just let that last kid go?" Another voice said.
"No!" The first voice, David fumed. "He is the only thing standing in the Parchment's way of the virus!"
That was all Chase needed to hear.
He went downstairs. "Looking for me?"
Jamieson and David turned.
"Ah, the last one I needed to capture." David said, walking over to Chase.
Chase got into a battle stance and kicked David's legs, where David fell to the ground.
Jamieson ran to Chase and let out a battle cry.
Chase punched Jamieson in his nose, and then did the same with Jamieson as he did with David.
"Now," Chase said, circling the two Parchment members. "Where is my family?"
David looked at Jamieson and grabbed his hand. Then, they vanished.
"No!" Chase yelled in desperation. Then, he heard a weak cough.
He used his bionic hearing again to trace the origin of the cough. Once he located the origin of the sound, he ran to a closet by the stairs.
He opened the door and found Davenport inside, his head bleeding.
"Mr. Davenport?" Chase said, carefully pulling his father out of the closet.
"I'm okay, Chase." He coughed.
"No, you're not." Chase responded. "Your head is bleeding."
Davenport looked to the ground. "Please take me to the hospital."
"Okay." Chase said. "But you do realize I need to call an ambulance? I can't drive yet. I'm fifteen."
Davenport nodded and Chase led him over to the couch as he called 911 for the second time in a day.
