Um.
So I check my phone multiple times throughout the day. A couple of reviews as normal.
And then about 5 minutes ago, I looked at my phone
10 new reviews.
Wow
MoonlitShadowoftheHumanSoul swooped in and reviewed almost EVERY CHAPTER.
I like your style ;)
You checked out my fanfiction-I shall return the favor-
Go check out "The Blood of Our Father". It is totally worth it-exeptional writing, concise ideas, HUGE chapters.
I dedicate this chapter to MoonlitShadowoftheHumanSoul.
Chapter 11
His phone suddenly buzzed, flashing "Urgent Mission Alert!"
His face went rigid.
His weapon scanner, the one he had placed in every national laboratory, warned him that a bomb was set to go off in five minutes, cleverly located a whole FOOT beneath a laboratory in New York City where a demonstration of a new solar-powered house was commencing.
At least half of the greatest members in the scientific community were attended. The only reason he hadn't attended the demonstration himself was because mending Chase's chip took priority for him.
No one would want to stop the demonstration if he called, and they likely couldn't evacuate so many people in so little time anyway.
The nearest police station was ten minutes away from the laboratory. There was too little time.
He had no choice. Adam, Bree, and Chase would have to override the bomb.
And the result of the previous mission was a bit too fresh in their minds.
Adam, Bree, Chase, and Leo were only a tad annoyed when Mr. Davenport sprinted from the elevator and waved his hands in their faces, doing a great job of preventing them from seeing the screen of their video game. However, Adam, Bree, and Chase had to commend Leo on his series of head bobs and weaves in an effort to see his character.
Yet their annoyed glares quickly disintegrated when they saw his terror-stricken face, and they followed him without hesitation when he gestured to the lab.
Somewhat rushed, given that the bomb would go off in approximately four minutes, Mr. Davenport quickly wrote out what was going on, and his cobbled-together, yet utterly genius plan-Chase would quickly disarm the bomb while Adam and Bree stood guard. It was a perfectly logical, and achievable goal, and all four of them recognized that he was trying to make success achievable in the midst of horrible timing.
But Bree was at the end of her rope with Mr. Davenport making the best out of something very bad, never saying no.
She couldn't prevent herself from saying aloud,
"You want Chase...You want us, to go on a mission, one regarding a bomb? When Chase doesn't even have his hearing and voice back yet ?" she asked, her volume increasing with each word.
Mr. Davenport stared at the ground in shame, eyes filled with tears.
She saw what this was doing to him.
Fate was making him choose between his kids and a large number of innocent people. But she just didn't want Chase, in particular at this moment, to go through another mission-one with a bomb, no less.
The result of a mission could be a lot of things.
They knew that now more than ever.
But Chase seemed to know this and not care.
He tapped her on the shoulder, showing what he wrote,
"Please write out what you just wrote,"he pleaded, shooting a concerned look at Mr. Davenport.
Despite the fact that she really didn't want Chase to read what she just said, she was in no position to say no.
Reading her words, Chase replied,
"This isn't for something ad inconsequential as money or reputation. Innocent people are at stake here.
Bree knew Mr. Davenport wouldn't ask them to do a mission so soon after having a run-in with Douglas NORMALLY, especially now of all times, that wasn't important.
But she also knew, especially after that the other night when she reassured Chase that it was okay to be weak...that he was weak.
Having a serious communication barrier, despite having a light at the end of the tunnel, takes its toll.
And even exempting that...
Chase had almost died.
And here he was, setting his jaw, and writing to Adam and Bree, making sure Mr. Davenport and Leo could see-
"Let's suit up,".
Bree was infuriated with Chase. If he wasn't upset with Mr. Davenport, how could she be?
The next chapter is the most epic/action-packed chapter of the story
