Chapter 9
Ms. Wakeman and Jenny woke up early in the morning. They were just about finished repairing the lab when Zero awoke.
ZERO: You've been busy I see.
MS WAKEMAN: The computer is ready to be checked, and I've added a sync cable for you so we can explore mind along with it.
JENNY: In the meantime, I'm going to see what Brad plans to do. I hope it not the mall this time.
Zero laughs at the comment. Jenny leaves.
MS WAKEMAN: Put the sync helmet on, Zero.
Jenny meets up with Brad near his home.
BRAD: How'd everything go at home?
JENNY: Fine, I guess. Mom's just gonna check the computer along with Zero's mind.
BRAD: After what happened, isn't going into his head a tad bit risky.
JENNY: I'm sure mom knows what she's doing.
Back in the lab, the sync has been established.
MS WAKEMAN: Zero, I'm giving you access to all your files. You should now be able to open and read them. I will monitor you until we find the problem.
ZERO: Very well. Here I g...
Tuck barges in.
TUCK: Hey! What's up!
MS WAKEMAN: I need to replace the locks on this house.
TUCK: Oooooo...can I watch? PLEEAAASE?
ZERO: My friend, it would be wise to leave us in silence.
TUCK: I'll be quiet! I promise!
Zero shrugs his shoulders looking at Ms. Wakeman.
MS WAKEMAN: Okay, but we need absolute silence.
TUCK: My lips are zipped.
He brings his fingers across his lips.
MS WAKEMAN: Zero, you may now begin.
ZERO: Searching main matrix.
Jenny and Brad are at Mezmers. Brad is drinking a soda while Jenny drinks motor oil.
BRAD: So what are thoughts on this Zero guy?
JENNY: Hard to say. Our lack of knowledge on him makes him so mysterious. I've never been so intrigued by a boy like that.
BRAD: Do I detect a crush?
JENNY: (Blushing) Sorry to say no. For some reason I have this unsettling fear of him.
In the lab.
MS WAKEMAN: The sub command is moving again. Catch it!
ZERO: I've locked on. Attempting to isolate...
Mezmers.
BRAD: Fear? Why would you be afraid of him? You're a walking swiss army knife and he just has a gun and a sword.
JENNY: But we don't know who built him or why he was created in the first place.
In the lab.
ZERO: I've successfully isolated it. Can you access it?
MS WAKEMAN: I'm looking at it now. I'm going to translate it. It shouldn't take me more than a few seconds.
ZERO: I'll decipher it as well.
Ms. Wakeman's eyes widen.
MS WAKEMAN: Zero!!! Don't...!
ZERO: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
TUCK: (Frightened) Zero?
Mezmers.
BRAD: Anyway, I sure hope your mother is careful. The mind is a dangerous thing to mess with.
In the distance a massive explosion is heard. Jenny's homing beacon goes crazy.
At the lab, an injured Ms. Wakeman looks up weakly. Before her is the shadow of Zero. She blacks out as he let's out a horrid laugh of insanity. A wicked smile is expressed on his face.
