Chapter 15
Brad knows that Jenny and Zero could easily crush him. He tries to remain silent, but he breaths deeply and shaking. He is overwhelmed with fear.
Zero looks around the main room and takes notice of disturbed dust and debris. Jenny in turn zooms through her vision settings. Brad keeps away from her line of sight by ducking back into the basement.
Brad tip toes to the control panel to check on the communicator. The light is still red. The control panel starts to beep loudly. Brad's heart rate skyrockets.
In the main room, Zero's headpiece flashes again. He looks at the basement entrance. He directs Jenny to it and they enter.
Brad jumps behind a desk and keeps his mouth covered, trying to silence his heavy breathing.
Zero looks at the control panel and the screen, but he does not see the communicator behind it. He begins to type on the control panel.
Two capsules rise from the ground and open. Brad peeks from behind the desk.
Zero directs Jenny into one of the capsules. It closes and cables descend from the top of it. They attach themselves to Jenny's back. Zero returns to the control panel and continues typing. Electric currents flow from the cables into Jenny.
Now Zero enters the other capsule. Just as with Jenny, cables descend and connect to Zero and begin a flow of electricity. Both of them close their eyes.
Brad watches as Jenny and Zero's armor colors begin to change. Zero's red armor transforms to a dark gray. Jenny's blue pigment changes to dark violet and something more happens.
Brad focuses on Jenny's face. He notices a slight tear roll down from her right eye.
BRAD: (Whispering) I know you're in pain Jenny. Just hang in there.
Back in the hospital, Ms. Wakeman waits for the download to finish. Sheldon enters the room.
SHELDON: How are you?
MS WAKEMAN: Oh, hello Sheldon. It's good to see you considering our circumstances.
TUCK: You wouldn't believe what's happened to Jenny...
SHELDON: Yeah I know. I uh... sorta saw it all.
Sheldon looks at the communicator.
SHELDON: What are you doing?
MS WAKEMAN: I sent Bradley to the lab where Zero was found. He downloading all of his information as we speak, but I'm going to need a suitable place to work with it.
SHELDON: (Excited) You can work in my garage! It's kinda like a lab, and I have a lot of equipment you can use and a computer.
MS WAKEMAN: That's a splendid idea!
At that moment, the red light on the communicator turns green.
MS WAKEMAN: Excellent timing. Now all I need to do is call Bradley, sign out, and get to your house.
In the lab basement, Brad peeks at the capsules encasing Jenny and Zero. Their eyes are still closed.
BRAD: Maybe I can get the communicator and sneak out of here.
He tip toes past the capsules and to the control panel, sweat rolling down his head. He looks at the communicator. The light is green.
BRAD: (Low tone) Great!
He pulls out the communicator and starts to head out the basement when the most dreaded thing happens.
The communicator beeps loudly and Ms. Wakeman speaks.
MS WAKEMAN: Bradley, come back! I have all of Zero's data and I want you to meet me at Sheldon's house.
Jenny and Zero open their eyes only to see Brad in plain view staring at them wide eyed.
BRAD: Uhh... heh... heh... hello...
Jenny and Zero holler simultaneously and shatter the capsules.
In the hospital, Ms. Wakeman, Tuck, and Sheldon listen for a response. Brad yells.
BRAD: They're here! Both of them! Help me...!
His calls for help are shattered by laser fire.
TUCK: Brad!!!
MS WAKEMAN: Oh no! He's done for! What can we do? Sheldon?
Sheldon has disappeared from the room.
Sheldon runs behind his home and pulls a covering off a repaired Silver Shell.
SHELDON: It's a good thing I made a few adjustments. Now I'm ready to face Jenny and Zero. Hang on Brad! The Silver Shell is on his way!
