Chapter 14
Brad managed to find a working jet pack among the debris of Ms. Wakeman's lab. Now off he flew to the lab.
In the meantime, Ms. Wakeman kept watching the havoc that Jenny and Zero had unleashed on Tremorton. Several blocks have been demolished. Police and firemen scramble to help as many people as they can. It has literally turned into a war zone.
Ms. Wakeman speaks into the communicator.
MS WAKEMAN: Bradley, have you reached the lab yet?
BRAD: I'm can see it ahead of me.
MS WAKEMAN: Good, now hurry. If we don't get that information ASAP, then there won't be much of Tremorton left to save.
Brad dashes into the abandoned lab as soon as he lands at the entrance. He storms the rooms he and Jenny had searched earlier. None of the papers made sense to him. Yet he grabs as many as he can, including several weapon designs.
BRAD: (To the communicator) Ms. W, I got the papers.
MS WAKEMAN: Do you see anything on Zero?
Brad sifts through the mess.
BRAD: There's nothing here on him.
MS WAKEMAN: Keep looking. If he was built there then there must records.
BRAD: I think I know where to look.
Brad goes to the basement room where they had found Zero. The control panel is still open and working.
BRAD: The computer here is still working.
MS WAKEMAN: See if you can access its files.
Brad types "Zero" into the computer. The only file that appears is one entitled "Project Zero".
Back in Tremorton, Zero slashes a police car in two and blasts away the remains. The triangular piece on his helmet suddenly begins to blink. Jenny tosses a fire truck into a police blockade, then senses Zero's disturbance. She looks over at him. He is looking into the air.
ZERO: Home...
Zero now looks at Jenny. Realizing what he wants, she flies to him. He grabs her wings and then they fly off.
Ms. Wakeman sees this on the TV. In the background, Tuck spits out his hospital food.
MS WAKEMAN: Bradley, Zero and XJ-9 just flew away!
BRAD: Where are they going?
MS WAKEMAN: I don't know. What have you found so far?
BRAD: I found a file named "Project Zero". I haven't opened it yet.
MS WAKEMAN: Do that now.
Brad selects "Project Zero" and then the screen flashes all of Zero's information, including blueprints, programming, and a subfolder called "Maverick Virus".
BRAD: (Gleeful) I think I've found what we're looking for.
MS WAKEMAN: Excellent work Bradley! Now press the green button on your communicator.
Brad presses the button and a plug buds out from below it.
MS WAKEMAN: Now plug it into any port you can find.
Brad looks around the control panel and finds a port behind it. He plugs the communicator into it. The green button turns red.
The button on Ms. Wakeman's communicator does the same thing.
MS WAKEMAN: The information is being downloaded now. Just wait for the light to turn green again.
BRAD: Will do.
As Brad waits he hears a loud thump coming from outside. He peaks out the basement and gasps in horror as Zero and Jenny walk into the lab.
