Chapter 9
3 days later...
"Leo, come look at this!" Tasha screamed at Leo, who was doing homework in the dining room. "What's up?" he asked. "Just look" she said with a worried look. As the T.V continued to play, the reporter was saying that a prisoner had escaped the prison and they were saying that he was a mad scientist who invented crazy inventions. 'He's the guy who attacked Chase and that made him lose his hearing' Leo thought to himself. He couldn't believe this, he had to go warn the others and make sure that Chase doesn't have another freakout of his.
He went down to the lab, to find Adam and Bree fighting and yelling while Chase is at his desk doing homework. For a moment Leo thinks that it might be great to be deaf, then he mentally slaps himself for thinking that. "Guys, Guys!, GUYS!" he screams at the top of his lungs. Suddenly their fighting stopped and they were looking at Leo. "I need to talk to you both now" he said with a sad look. They quickly followed him away from Chase and asked "What's wrong?" "Remember that scientist that caused Chase to lose his hearing" They nodded. "Well... he escaped from prison and I have a feeling that he might be out looking for Chase" he concluded quickly. Adam and Bree simultaneously said "WHAT!?" "SHH, do you want Chase to think that something's wrong?" asked Leo. They quickly took the hint and shut up.
They all went to a different room and started asking questions. "When did he escape prison?" asked Bree. "About, a few hours ago" replied Leo. "Should we tell Chase?" Jumped in Leo after a short period of time. "I don't think that's a good idea unless you want Chase to have a panic attack. Maybe we could keep it a secret and try to watch his back" said Adam. These words shocked Leo and Bree, they never thought he would say something so smart. They looked at him with their mouths open. "What? When things start to involve my family, I get really smart, really quick!"
Bree quickly snapped out of her gaze and said "Maybe we could keep it a secret from Chase and protect him but we still need to tell Mr Davenport though." "Yeah, your right. Big D would be pissed if we didn't tell him what was going on and something happened to you guys" Leo said rather quickly. They all nodded and went off to find Mr Davenport and tell him what happened.
They finally found him trying to talk to Chase bbut failing miserably. He saw Bree, Adam and Leo and went over to them and said, "Guys, did you see the news! I was just trying to tell Chase but failed, BAD. Do you mind telling him?" "No! We are not going to tell him so he can have a panic attack and sink deeper into depression!" Bree snapped at him. Even though she picks on Chase, on the inside she really cares about him and would hate to see him get hurt physically and emotionally. "But we have to tell him or else he could be in grave danger and at complete risk of getting hurt more than he is. It's either you tell him or I do. Your choice." He put his foot down and crossed his arms.
Bree was ready to start to argue with him but she knew that he had a point and just stomped her foot, huffed and went over to Chase. "Hey Chase, I've got something important to tell you" she signed. He smiled at her and signed "Yeah, sure. What is it?" This was going to be hard.
