Chapter 8: Rescue?
It had been almost an hour since Spin and Bob had heard anything from the team. They were beginning to get worried.
"We can track the helicopter to see where they are." Spin told Bob.
"Good idea." Bob said and punched some buttons on the control panel. "Uh oh." Bob said.
"Uh oh! What's uh oh?" Spin asked
"It say the helicopter has crashed. It show two life signs on board." Bob said.
"Where are Bree, Chase, and Leo?" Spin asked.
"I'm tracking them now." Bob answered and punched some more buttons. "It looks they are in the tunnels. They don't seem to be moving around any though. What if they're hurt?' Bob asked looking at Spin wide eyed.
Spin put on a headset. "Mr. Davenport, do you read me? It's Spin."
The connection was fuzzy but he finally heard Mr. Davenports voice on the other end. "Spin. Oh thank goodness. Boy am I glad to hear you. You have to send some help. Bree, Chase, and Leo are trapped in the tunnels. The helicopter crashed into a crater caused by the explosions and can't get out. Douglas is unconscious. I think he is going to need a doctor." Mr. Davenport said as quickly as he could afraid that the connection would get lost to Spin.
"Bob. We have a mission. We have to save the whole team." Spin said standing straight and sticking his chest out.
Bob wasn't so sure about going on a mission especially one this important. He hesitated a moment. "Um Spin are you sure we are ready for this? What about one of the other teams?" Bob asked.
"They are all on their own missions. We are that's left. Now get a spine and let's go." Spin said. Bob shrugged. They gathered some gear and headed to the hydroloope.
"Stop you two. Where do think you are going?" Mr. Davenport left me in charge, so I say if you can go or not." Perry shouted to them.
"Mr. Davenport, Bree, Chase, Leo, and Douglas are all in trouble and we the only ones left to go save them." Spin said to Perry.
"Did you Douglas is in trouble? Then I'm coming too." Perry said and pushed them both on board the hydroloope.
Chase coughed and pushed some debris off of himself so he could sit up. He tried to get the rest of the way up but a large bolder had his right leg pinned. He looked around threw the dust that was just started to settle, but still couldn't really see anything. He continued to cough and look for his sibling as the air began to clear slowly. Finally he spotted Leo on the other side of the large bolder. Then he noticed some of the rocks next to him shifting and heard Bree moan. Chase quickly helped get the rocks off her and she sat up right beside him.
"What happen?" Bree asked dusting herself off with a disgusted expression. Then she stopped and looked around. Worry began to take of the disgusted expression. "Where's Leo?"
"The bomb exploded and the tunnel caved in on us. He is over there." Chase explained and pointed to Leo. "Can you go over to Leo and check on him? I'm stuck." Chase asked Bree.
"Sure. Bree went over to Leo. He seems ok but he's out cold. Looks like he bumped his head." Bree said as she came back over to Chase's side. "Maybe I can help get you unstuck." Bree said and went over to the bolder.
As Spin, Bob, and Perry were in transit on the hydroloope it suddenly jerked and came to a sudden stop. Bob eyes opened wide. "Did we stop or am I dreaming again?"
"We stopped." Spin said punching on the hydroloopes control panel.
"Why does this always happen to me?" Perry asked.
"We're the only ones who know about Mr. Davenport and the rest of the team. If stuck here, who can help them?" Spin asked. He was starting to get panicked.
"Calm down bro. We can call Adam." Bob said.
"Yeah, Yeah. Call the big one. He can come get us out and then we can go save Douglas my love." Perry said.
"Or he could go save them and then Mr. Davenport can fix the hydroope. Since he got trapped in here with you last time he keeps this thing stocked with enough supplies to sustain people for days." Spin said.
"Fine." Perry said sitting back and folding her arms with a pouty expression on her face.
There was no cell service in the hydroloope so they had to use the hydroloope communication to call Adam. When they didn't get an answer on his cell phone they were surprised. He was always loosing or breaking his phone. They didn't know where else to call so they patched into Mr. Davenport.
"Have you sent someone our way yet?" Mr. Davenport asked them.
"Well we were on our way, but something stopped the hydroloope. Now we're stuck too." Bob said.
"You three were coming?" Donald asked sounding surprised, angry, and worried all at the same time. "What about the other two mission teams?"
"They are out on mission. So it was us or nothing. We decided your last chance is Adam, but we can't reach him." Spin explained.
Taking a deep breath and collecting his almost panicked thoughts Donald finally said. "OK, patch me through to Tasha."
He gave them her number and they did as they were told. When Tasha answer she was surprised to hear Donald. "Donald. I thought you were on a mission?"
"I was, I mean I am, but we've had a few setbacks." Donald said not getting into too much detail knowing it would worry her. "The thing is we are all kind of stuck and our only hope in Adam."
Tasha cringed at Donald's words. "Adam? Um, I'll try, but I've tried talking to him and his has set in his mind that he can't do missions." Tasha told Donald.
"Well try again. Tell him Bree, Chase, and Leo are trapped." Donald said. He hadn't wanted to tell her but if it was the only way to get Adam to come help he would just have to make Tasha worry.
"Trapped!" Tasha said worried.
"Yes trapped, now go tell Adam so he can save them." Donald said.
"Ok, ok, I'm going. Call you back." Tasha said and hung up. "Oh brother." Tasha said to herself as she searched the house for Adam. She was surprised to finally find him in the lab lifting weights. "Adam." She said cheerfully.
Startled Adam almost dropped the weights. "Mrs. D." Adam said back. "You scared me. What are you doing down here?"
Tasha put on her best reporter smile and placed a gentle hand on Adams arm. "Oh Adam." She calmly said and sat on the bench with Adam. Then her tone dramatically and suddenly changed to panic and urgency. "You have to go save Bree, Chase, and Leo. They are trapped somewhere and need your help."
Adam put his arm around Tasha. "Oh Tasha you know I can't do that." He said in a very calm soothing tone.
Tash was almost to tears. In her mind at first she heard him say yes, but then when she heard him say "can't" her eyes shot open with anger. She pulled herself away from him and stood up over him. "Can't! What do you mean can't?"
Realizing Tasha was mad Adam coward back a little. "I can't. What if I fail, get hurt again, or worse, get them hurt? I'm not ready." Adam said looking down ashamed.
Tasha was too mad to care about Adams feelings. "Adam Davenport. Donald did not give you bionics so you could say you can't. Can't isn't an option for you. You have to. It's what you're meant to do. That is your family trapped out there. You have to save them." Tasha said sticking her chest out proudly.
Adam didn't know what to say. He knew she was right though. She had managed somehow to build him up to it. He stood up proudly. "You're right!" Adam said. When he stood his boot got hung between the bench and the barbell pulling him and any confidence he had just built up back to his seat. "And what am I supposed to do with this?" Adam asked motioning to the boot.
Tasha remembered the new mission suit Donald had designed for Adam. "Oh, oh. Donald designed something for that." Tash said and went over to the control panel where Donald had showed it to her. She look at the control panel puzzled for a moment, but then remembered what button Donald had pushed. A diagram of the suit came up on the screen.
"Sweet." Adam said excitedly, noticing the suit had the built in boot and an extra snack pocket. He quickly went into his capsule and changed into his mission suit. It fit perfect and his ankle felt great in it. When he got out his capsule he went over to the mission specialist control panel. "Tasha you're going to have to stay here and keep me informed. Call Mr. Davenport and he can tell you what to do." Adam said. Then put his comm in his ear and was gone.
Tasha called Mr. Davenport. He was surprised and relieved to finally hear from her and even more excited to hear Adam was on the way. He walked her through getting his comm and tablet patched in through the lab so he could talk to Adam directly. "Adam." He said.
"Mr. Davenport. I'm glad it's you. I don't think Tasha would've been much help. I had to show her how to call you." Adam said.
"Hey I can still hear you." Tash said.
"Sorry honey. You can back to what you were doing now. We got this." Donald said.
"Oh no. This is my family too. I am staying right here listening." Tasha demanded.
"Ok, but you must remain quiet." Donald said.
"Sorry to interrupt and all, but don't I need to know where I am going?" Adam asked.
"Oh yes. How are you getting here?" So I can download the coordinates." Donald asked.
"Oh I'm on the Davencycle." Adam answered.
"My Davencycle!" Donald said starting to get upset but checked himself. "Good idea. Here are you coordinates." Donald told Adam.
"Chase it won't budge." Bree strained trying to get the bolder off of Chase's leg. "Try your molecularkenesis."
"I did, but something is wrong is blocking my bionics. I tried scanning too, but that was a no go also." Chase said.
"Let me try my speed." Bree said. She tried to super speed, but just ran at normal speed. "Mine is blocked too."
"Which means even when Leo does come around his bionics won't work to get me unpinned. It also seems very strange. Almost like a trap." Chase said looking around to see if there was anything nearby that could help, but didn't see anything.
"Oh my head." Leo moaned.
"Leo you're awake. Are you ok?" Bree asked rushing over to his side.
Leo felt himself all over. "I think so. What happened?"
"The bomb went off and the tunnel caved in on us. Now there's something blocking our bionic and my leg is pinned under this darned bolder." Chase said. "Maybe you and Bree can see if there is a way out."
"Are you sure you will be ok alone here?" Bree asked
"I'm sure." Chase answered.
"Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back." Leo said as him and Bree walked away.
Chase rolled his eyes. "Kinda couldn't if I wanted to.
When Adam got to the coordinates he could see where the tunnels had caved in. "I'm her Mr. Davenport."
"Good. Can you see a crater over to your left/" Donald asked looking a his and Adams location on the tablet.
"Yeah I see it. Headed that way." Adam answered.
Donald was paying attention to Adam's location when a finger come from nowhere pointing to the screen.
"What are those?" Douglas asked in strained voice. He was finally conscious.
Donald looked at Douglas glad to see he was awake but noticed he was holding his side. "You hurt?" Donald asked.
"Just the ribs. It's always the ribs." Douglas moaned. "Now zoom in on those specs." He told Donald.
Donald did. "Uh oh. Is that what I think it is?" Donald asked Douglas.
"I'm afraid so Donnie boy. That is some of our dear friends, Nathan Slates, killer bee drones. I should've known he was behind this when the alarms at the plant were false." Douglas said.
"What is he up to?" Donald asked.
"Well if my used to be evil-self had to guess … I would say he's trying to kill the kids. He has this thought of if he can't have them no one can." Douglas said.
"What?" We got to stop him." Douglas said then got on the comm to Adam. "Adam you have got to the tunnels first. We will be ok here. Slate has sent killer drones after Bree, Chase, and Leo. Use your scanner to find Bree, Chase, and Leo and get them out fast. The scanner will also show you where the drones are." Mr. Davenport told Adam.
"Will do. I'm headed in the tunnels now. "Adam said as he got off the bike and walked toward the entrance. At the entrance of the tunnel someone reached out and grabbed his arm from the side. Adam reared back to throw a punch. They put their arms in front of their face and coward. "Are you Adam?"
Adam lowered his arm slowly and looked around. "Maybe, who wants to know?"
The guy was nice looking, almost as tall as Adam, and about Adam's age. He slowly lowered his arms and stuck out his hand for a hand shake. "I'm Nate Slate."
Adam reared back his arm back again and took a fight stance. "Aren't you who is behind all of this?"
Nate took a step a back. "No. It's my dad. I shouldn't even be here. I overheard him discussing his plans this morning. I tried to go to the school to warn Bree, but she had already gone. So I came here to stop her from going in the tunnels and to warn her, but was too late again. I'm just glad I caught you." Nate said.
"Warn her about what?" Adam asked.
"That my dad is bent on getting the three of you out of the way. If he can't have you work for him he wants you gone for good. Do you know about the drones?" Nate asked.
"Yeah, why?" Adam answered.
"Well my father knows about your heat vision so he designed them so the heat vision won't affect them."
Adam looked Nate with a puzzled look. "Then how do I stop them?"
"Use your bionic blast, but you'll have to focus it to the drone or it could cause the rest of the tunnel to cave in on you." Nate said. They both heard a helicopter coming and looked toward ii. "There's my ride. Oh and if your bionics don't work it's because my dad has set up the blocker. It will be toward the center of the tunnels, but doesn't have a long range." Nate climbed into the helicopter. "Tell Bree I'm sorry and I hope this doesn't spoil my chances of going out with her sometime."
"What?" Adam asked but the helicopter was gone. "Nate seemed nice. What could he possibly see in Bree?" Adam wondered.
Donald had heard the whole conversation over Adams comm. "Adam I'll work on finding and overriding the blocking signal. You just focus on getting your brothers and sister out and avoiding those drones." Mr. Davenport told Adam.
Chase was sitting in the floor of the tunnel alone, stuck. The lights in the tunnel had begun to flicker on and off and it was taking everything he had to keep from freaking out. He swore he had heard Bree and Leo three or four times, but each time it was a bug, bat, or nothing. Now he heard a buzzing sound and seemed to be getting closer. "Maybe they found help or some kind of tool to get him out." He thought to himself trying to make himself feel better. "Bree, Leo is that you?" Chase finally decided to holler out. He almost choked on the words when one of the big bee drones came into sight. "Nope that's not Bree or Leo." Chase said to himself pulling at his leg frantically.
The bees eyes were glowing red and it kept repeating "Target acquired, re move target." Over and over moving closer to him.
"Oh crap." Chase said covering his face with his arm and still trying to pull his leg free. Then suddenly someone grabbed the bee by both wings and slung the bee into the tunnel wall shattering the bee into multiple pieces. It was Adam. "Adam!" Chase said grinning.
"Hey little bro." Adam said looking at the large bolder pinning Chase's leg. "Looks like you're stuck."
Chase rolled his eyes and started to make a comment about stating the obvious, but he was too glad to see Adam to do that. "Yeah." Chase said.
Adam squatted beside the bolder and with just a little straining moved the bolder enough Chase slid his leg out from under it. "My bionics are blocked. Aren't yours?"
"Yeah they are, but I'm not a weakling like you." Adam said grinning and helped Chase up then punched him in the arm. "Can you walk? I really hope so because I really don't want to have to carry you."
Chase testes the leg. It was sore, but he could put his weight on it easy enough. Even though Adams remarks were insulting Chase was glad to have Adam and his remarks back. "Leo and Bree went to find a way out."
"I'm tracking them on this scanner thingy." Adam said and handed the scanner to Chase. "Here. I'm starved." Adam reached into his snack pocket and pulled out some kind of protein bar.
"I see Leo and Bree. What are the specs here?" Chase asked.
"Those are the bee drones. They've just been staying behind them like that." Adam said casually.
Chase looked at Adam stunned. "The bees must be chasing them."
"Oh." Adam said.
Chase watched the scanner. "They must be right on the other side of that wall." Chase pointed to the tunnel wall. If you had your super strength you could go right threw that wall."
"But I don't. Isn't there another way to blow threw the wall?" Adam asked.
Chase thought a moment and smiled. "There is. Look for the gear bag." Chase said.
"Bossy, bossy." Adam grunted.
Chase rolled his eyes. "Please."
Adam smiled reached down and grabbed the bag. "Here it is."
Chase just gave Adam a look. "Good." He said then began digging through the bag and came out with one of the explosives they were going to use. "Ok Adam, put it on the wall right where I tell you."
Adam took the explosive and just looked at Chase. Chase rolled his eyes again. "Please." Adam smiled.
Once Adam had the explosive in place Chase watched the scanner. When the specs were directly in from of the explosive Chase hit the button to set if off.
Bree and Leo had managed to wind their way around in the tunnels until they didn't know their way back. Then the bee drones came.
"Bree do you keep hearing a buzzing?" Leo asked looking over his shoulder, but not seeing anything.
"I do. I'm glad you're hearing it too. I was afraid it was just me." Bree said. "Maybe we should turn this way." Bree pointed to a junction in the tunnels.
"Works for me." Leo said but as the turned the corner he let out a loud high pitched yelp. "Eek. Wha.. wha.. what is that?" Leo stuttered and began to back up.
Breed stood frozen for a second until she realized Leo was backing away. "Um I don't but I don't think it's good." Bree said as the bees eyes lit up red. "Run!" She shouted and the two took off down the other tunnel.
It seemed like they ran forever with the bee chasing them. The next thing they noticed they had picked up a second bee somewhere. Then they were trapped. The tunnel ended and the two bees had them boxed in with no way out. Leo and Bree thought this was it for sure. As the two stood smashed against the back of the wall the wall beside the bees suddenly blew in smashing both bees. To both Bree and Leo's relief Chase and the Adam stepped through the hole in the wall.
Bree ran up to Adam and hugged him as hard as she could. "Hey Bree. I need to breath." Adam said.
Bree backed off. "Sorry, I'm just so glad you're here." Bree said.
"Yeah A really glad you decided to come back when you did." Leo said fist bumping Adam.
"Well your mom made me realize it's what I'm meant to do. Plus man she can be scary." Adam said.
"You ain't lying." Leo agreed.
Over Adam's comm Adam heard Tasha. "Adam you know I can still hear you right?"
Adam cringed. "Sorry Mrs. D."
"Guys there is some more of those bees heading this way. We got to get out of here." Chase said looking at the scanner.
"Does that scanner show the way out?" Leo asked.
"No." Chase answered disappointedly.
"Oh wait a minute." Adam sais and got on his comm. "Mr. Davenport I got Bree, Chase, and Leo, but we need help getting out of here."
"Thank goodness. I can help you with that. I will warn that there are at least five more bees in those tunnels with you." Mr. Davenport said.
"Do you have Mr. Davenport on your comm? Our comms all went out in the explosion." Chase asked Adam.
"Yeah." Adam answered. "Why"
"Switch with me. It will make it easier since I have the scanner." Chase said.
Adam agreed. He knew it meant he wouldn't have to lead and Chase and Mr. Davenport understood each other a lot better anyway.
They followed Chase through the tunnels. "I can't figure out why or how our bionics got blocked." Chase said as they walked.
"I know the answer to that." Adam said. "That Mr. Slate guy. He set up a device that does it somewhere in the tunnels. This whole thing is a set up to get rid of us."
"How do you know this?" Chase asked.
"Oh his son, Nate, told me. Oh and Bree I thinks he likes you." Adam added.
Bree wiped off her face on her sleeve and fluffed her hair. "And when were you going to tell me this?" Bree snapped at first then smiled remembering when she had met Nate. "Really? What makes you think that?" Bree asked in a flirty tone.
"Well first he went to school to warn you. Who goes to school voluntarily? Then he came all the way here to warn you." Adam told Bree.
"Came all the way here for me?" Bree asked looking star struck.
Can we get back to getting out of here?'' Chase asked sternly.
"Actually, I think we should focus on running." Leo squeaked seeing two bees coming up behind them, fast.
"Running really isn't my thing right now." Adam said calmly. As the bee dived at him. He ducked causing the bee to miss. Once he was behind the bee he grabbed its wing and slung it against the wall. "Ok I got mine. Your turn Chase." Adam said. "That is if you can."
Chase grinned. "Ok. He grabbed on the explosives from the gear bag and stood closer to the bee causing it to dive at him. He too ducked, but instead of grabbing its wings next he stuck the explosive to its belly then hit the switch and blew it up.
"Woo!" Adam shouted excitedly. "Way to go Tiny."
Chase snarled at Adam's tiny remark at first then smiled.
"Chase are you still there? Are you ok?" Mr. Davenport asked.
"Yes, we are fine." Chase answered.
"Good. You only have a couple more turns and you should be out." Mr. Davenport said.
"Hey let's go. We're almost out." Chase said.
As they were headed toward the last turn the last three bees came out of another tunnel right behind them. "I think we should run now." Bree said when she looked over her shoulder seeing the bees.
"I told you I don't do…" Adam started to say, but stopped when Bree super sped off.
"Our bionics." Chase said. He then used his molecularkenesis to throw a bee into the wall.
Leo used his laser ball to destroy another one. "Oh yeah, We're back."
Then Adam super blasted the last bee, which blew it apart. "Now that was fun. This should bee a game." Adam laughed looking at Leo, Chase, and Bree, who just super sped back. "Get it. Bee a game." Adam laughed again holding his sides. "Oh sometimes I really get myself."
"Let's get out of here." Bree said locking arms with the three and super sped them out of the tunnels.
Once they were out Bree, Chase, and Leo looked around. "Where's Mr. Davenport and Douglas?" Chase asked.
"In a crater of that way. Their helicopter crashed there. We should probably go get them out." Adam said.
"And when were you going to tell us?" Chased asked Adam.
"When you asked where they were." Adam answered proudly.
"One mission with him and I can feel my IQ dropping again." Chase fussed as they headed toward the crash site.
"You know you love it." Adam grinned and grabbed Chase giving him a noogie.
Bree sped ahead. When Adam, Chase, and Leo got there she had already lowered herself into the crater. The three looked down at her. "What do you need?" Chase asked.
When Bree got down in the crater the first thing she saw was the cut on Mr. Davenport's forehead. He was dirty and his clothes were torn, which was very rare for him and made him look worse. "Are you ok Mr. Davenport?"
"I'm fine. Are all of you ok?" Donald asked Bree.
"Yeah especially that Adam's back. He was great in there. Even when our bionics weren't working." Bree said.
Douglas was sitting over at the computer screen holding his side. "Douglas, are you ok? Well I think I broke my ribs, again. Oh Douglas I'm sorry. Let me help you." Douglas mumbled to himself.
Bree smiled. "I'm sorry. Are you ok?" Bree asked Douglas.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Just a couple broken ribs. Thanks for asking though." Douglas answered her.
Bree heard Chase shout down to her. She told him she needed some rope and harnesses. Once she had that she quickly tied up the supplies and got Mr. Davenport and Douglas harnessed in to be pulled up. "Ok pull them up."
Since they couldn't use the hydroloope to get back to the island they had to wait on the Davenjet to auto pilot itself to them and they used it to get home. They were all exhausted when they got back. Before resting though Douglas and Donald worked for almost an hour figuring out the override to the hydroloope virus that Mr. Slate had planted.
When they hydroloope finally came back and opened Spin and Bob spilled out gasping for air.
Mr. Davenport cocked his head and looked at the two boys laying on the floor. "That thing should have had enough air for at a couple day. You only in there a few hours."
"It not that there was any air, but after a few hour with Perry the air that is in there has become practically unbreathable." Spin said.
"The thing that goes on with that woman's body." Bob said and shivered all over. "Yuck."
"Oh quit complaining. It's not my fault I got hot and had to take my shoes off. If my feet sweet they burn and start oozing. Something to do with the rare fungus they have." Perry said. Then she turned and saw Douglas, who had just come from the med unit getting his ribs treated. "Douglas, my love. You're ok." Perry said running to Douglas and wrapping him in her arms tightly.
"My ribs. Oh ouch. Can't breath." Douglas gasped. Then when Perry finally released him looked green from the pain. "I'm going back to the med unit." Douglas said slowly walking off hold his side.
The kids and Donald couldn't help but grin.
It was a couple days later and Bree, Chase, Leo, and Donald were all waiting for the hydroloope. "Mr. Davenport what time did you say he would be here? I have a date with Nate. He said that now since his father is in jail he can finally do what he wants. Which includes dating me." Bree said blissfully smiling.
"I think I'm going to be sick." Chase said.
Leo laughed. "Date with Nate. That's hilarious." Bree shot him and evil glare.
"I'm just glad he decided to do the right thing and helped the police get enough proof to put his dad away for a very long time." Donald said and looked at his watch. "I told him to be here a half an hour ago. Tasha called a few minutes ago and said he's on the hydroloope." He turned and walked over to the computer. "It's on its way it's just moving slowing than usual. Like it's weighed down or something."
The Hydroloope finally arrived. When the door slid open Adam shouted. "I'm back."
They all clapped for him. "Adam I got to ask. What have you got in that thing?" Donald asked.
Adam stepped back on the hydroloope and came back out carrying a stove, then a fridge, then a sink. "Everything including the kitchen sink." They all just stared at him. "What?"
"Why did you bring all this?" Chase asked.
"Just because I'm doesn't mean I'm going to quit my cooking classes." Adam answered.
"Couldn't you have just used the oven, fridge, and sink we have here?" Bree asked.
Adam just looked at her blankly. "Oh yeah." Then he grabbed his bag and walked toward his room.
"Oh yeah. He's back." Leo said and they all just shook their heads laughing. The end.
