Chapter 10
Douglas pounded on the desk. It wasn't working, nothing was working. Defeat wasn't an option. He had already lost everything. Despite, cracking all of the codes and passing all the firewall, Douglas found no way to get to the mainframe of the chip. He tried one more time. You know what they say, third times the charm. But that doesn't make sense, this isn't his third time trying.
"Hey, did you guys know that Leo's bionic" Adam commented, while Leo explained to his mom what happened. Tasha looked at Adam and then back at Leo. "Please tell me he's kidding" Tasha said. "Adam, Leo's not bionic" Mr. Davenport said. "No, it's true. I can turn invisible and I have a force field." Leo said, "But Leo, you could can turn invisible without the need to bionics" Bree said. Leo looked at Bree and said "Ha, ha, very funny". "Wait, you're serious? How is that even possible" Mr. Davenport said. "Here let my try my new bionic abilities" Leo said and stood up from the couch. "Adam, punch me" Leo commanded. "Okay" Adam agreed and stood up. "Alright, I'm going to activate my-"Ah, Adam that hurt" Leo said and rubbed his arm. "Punch me when I say go" Leo told Adam. "Got it" Adam said. "Go" Leo said and Adam punched Leo. Still, Leo was hurt. "Stop trying honey, or you'll get hurt" Tasha warned. "But it's true, I had the abilities. Here let me turn invisible" Leo pleaded and closed his eyes. "Just because you can't see us, doesn't mean you're invisible" Bree told Leo. "Just be quiet so I can concentrate" Leo said. After a few moments Leo opened his eyes. "Can you see me" Leo asked and began doing weird hand movements and jumping around. "Leo we can still see" Adam told him. "I'll just pretend that I didn't see that" Bree said.
Douglas stared at the computer screen, all of Bree's memories could be erased with the push of a button, in the palm of his hand. Douglas smiled evilly. After trying for hours on end to upload the virus back into the chip, he finally found a loop hole. Although he no longer had control of Bree, the trident could erase all or a large portion of memories stored on the chip. Donald might have seemed to win, but the taste of victory wasn't going to last long.
Chase opened his eyes, to see the lab. Chase stepped out of his capsule and noticed that the lab was empty. Chase walked over to the table and sat down. The elevator doors suddenly opened and in stepped his siblings, Mr. Davenport and Leo. "Chase" Leo said happily. "Hey guys" Chase greeted. Bree super speed over to him and brought him into a hug. "We're so glad you're okay" Bree told him. "Do you feel alright?" Adam asked. "I'm fine" Chase reassured.
Douglas shut his computer down. Something was stopping him, blocking him from erasing Bree's memory. It wasn't a security code or a fire wall. He thoughts soon lingered to his brother:
"You can't catch me!" Douglas teased while he roller bladed down the block. "Wait up" Donald puffed. "I can't you better catch up" Douglas told his brother. "Hey, look who it is, it's nerd boy" a voice called out. The insult stayed in his mind, distracting him from the crack on the side walk that he was getting closer to. Before he knew it, Douglas landed flat on his face. Laughter erupted from every where around him. "Leave my brother alone" Douglas heard his brother say. "Or what" a voice asked. A groan was heard a few minutes later and he saw the bully sprawled on the ground. Donald came next to Douglas. "Are you okay" Donald asked. Douglas nodded. "You should be more careful next time" Donald scolded. He then helped his brother up and the two walked home. "You totally have to teach me how to do that" Douglas said, "I will I promise" Donald said.
"Come on Douglas, kick just a little higher" Donald urged. Douglas rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Why do I have to do this" Douglas said. "You were the one that wanted me to teach you" Donald said. Douglas sighed, he was exhausted but Donald did not believe in something called breaks. "One more time, I promise" Donald told his brother. "Fine" Douglas reluctantly agreed. He did the spinning high kick. "Perfect" Donald said beaming.
Douglas and Donald went into their "lab"-it was just the basement with basically kitchen supplies-and began testing chemicals. "I'm totally going to win that science fair" Douglas said. "You mean we" Donald corrected. Douglas looked at his brother, "Yeah" Douglas said.
Douglas walked into the bedroom to see Donald practicing his material arts. Douglas threw his back pack by the bed stand. "Wanna spar?" He asked his brother. Donald nodded and got into a fighting position.
Douglas held his hand out to his brother, "You lost again" Douglas mocked. Donald rolled his eyes as he got up. "Yeah sure you won a few times big deal" Donald said. "And how many times have you won" Douglas asked. "Huh, let's see...43 times, but who's counting" Donald boasted. "I could totally beat that" Douglas challenged. "No you can't" Donald stated. "Can too" Douglas protested. "I'm going to do my homework" Donald said and began walking out the room with his back pack.
"I can't believe it, we finally saved up enough money to start a company" Donald said. Douglas and Donald patted each other on the back and walked into their new factory.
"Douglas?" Donald asked in shock. Douglas turned around to see his brother. "Donald, you will not believe what I just created. I just put our bionic chips into genetically engineered humans" Douglas told his brother. "You did what?" Donald asked. "Isn't this revolutionary" Douglas said. "I don't think that it's such a good idea" Donald said. "Of course it is, what could go wrong?" Douglas said. Donald looked at the three kids lying on the metal beds.
"I can't believe you" Donald told his brother. "Well believe, cause I just sold it". "You can't go making children into soldiers of mast destruction" Donald scold his brother. "I thought mom taught you better" Donald said. "Hey, we're making money, that's all that counts" Douglas said. 'Wrong, Douglas there are plenty of ways to make money without the need of violence" Donald said. "You're just jealous, because you weren't able to think of something this good" Douglas said. "Douglas, I'm not jealous" Donald said. "You're denying it, which means you are" Douglas said. " That's enough. Douglas we can't do this your decisions effect everyone, including this company. Why can't you just cancel the order for the good of this company" Donald said. "I sold that thing, for over 2 million dollars. I'm not just going to blow that off" Douglas said. "Fine, then Douglas, I'm firing you from this company." Donald said. "What? You can't do that" Douglas said. "Get out" Donald said. Douglas stared at his brother with cold eyes before slamming the door and exiting the office.
"Donald?" Douglas called out, looking for his brother. But he was nowhere to be found and neither were his bionic creations. Douglas had searched the entire factory and asked every worker. But no one knew his whereabouts. Douglas' cellphone rang. "Hello?" Douglas said. "Mr. Davenport, we have received anonymous call reporting to us that you have been using selling genetically engineered humans" the voice at the other end told him. Douglas quickly hung up. Police sirens were quickly heard and Douglas caught sight of many bright lights, that surrounded the factory.
Douglas sighed, remembering that night. Being chased by cars and gun shots ringing. He had faked a pretty good death if he said so himself. He decided, he had worked to hard to just give up. Looking at the button Douglas thought. Should he press it?
