Chapter 3
"So Spike, how long are you visiting?" Leo asks me with his annoying high pitched voice. I mean really, when is this kid going to hit puberty?
"I don't know." I snap at him. That is actually a sensitive topic. I really like being out and when people talk about going back in, it hurts. We are eating dinner, Mr. Davenport is in a daze. I probably gave him a concussion. I hope I did.
"So how was school?" Tasha asks.
"Fine."
"Fine."
"Fine."
"I hated it." I growl. They all look at me like I have just yelled a curse word for no reason.
"What, Chase is the one who likes school. Not me." I make clear. Why is that so hard to believe?
"So Spike." Mr. Davenport says snapping out of his gaze. "How much are you and Chase aware of each other?"
"What's it to ya?"
"I am just wondering. We don't really know that much about you."
"So."
"We are just wondering…"
"If you got to know. I see and hear and feel everything he feels, hears and sees. I can also hear is thoughts…" I tell them. Their eyes are wide.
"What!" I slam my hand on the table. Everyone jumps a little in their seat.
"Alright, I think it's time for bed." Tasha says. The other three agree.
"It's only like 7!" I yell. They never go to bed this early.
"8 actually." Adam mutters. I follow the Adam and Bree down to the lab.
"So, do you guys want to go and tee-pee the neighbor's house?" I ask them. They just ignore me and walk into their capsules. What did I say? I was being…. Nice. I hate that word. It means weakness.
"Go to sleep Spike." Bree tells me.
"HEY, NO ONE TELLS ME WHAT TO DO!" I bellow. But I walk into the middle capsule and fall asleep
"Adam, Bree, Chase!" Mr. Davenport's annoying voice wakes me up. A light is flipped on ahhh my eyes!
"One of my inventions malfunctioned!" He yells as he knocks his hand against our capsules.
"Imagine that." I say sarcastically.
"UHG, you're still here!" The little one's voice squeaks.
"Nice to see you to." I mutter.
"Can Ch- I mean Spike go on a mission?" Bree asks him.
"He's gonna have to. You guys can't do this mission without him." He says.
"What time is it?" Adam complains.
"It's time for you to jump off a cliff." I grunt. Everyone stares to me looking really annoyed. If they think I am mean during the day, they are in for a treat.
"One of my self-defending security systems have started to glitch. If you don't get there and deactivate it, a lot of my employees are going to get seriously hurt. Then they are going to sue me. I'll lose a ton of money!" Typical Davenport, only cares about the money.
"What are your employees doing in your office at one in the morning?" Bree asks.
"The office is in Moscow" He says.
"Cool I've never been there!" She says positively.
"Is Moscow in Alabama?" Adam asks.
"GOOO!" Leo yells. We get in our mission suits. It only takes about 15 seconds to get there.
"Спасите!"A woman yells when we get there.
"What did she say?" Adam asks.
"Do I look like I speak Russian?" I snap.
"So we are in Russia!" Adam exclaims. I roll my eyes.
"No, we are in down town L.A."
"So we need to deactivate the security system." Bree says changing the subject.
"No dip Sherlock."
"So… this is normally where Chase takes over." Bree says ignoring my insult.
"Do I look like Chase?"
"Yes." Adam says without thinking.
"Would Chase do this?" I punch Adam in the stomach, hard. He bends over in pain.
"You to help the civilians while I do the nerd work." I tell them.
They nod and I leave them to find a control panel. I find one. I know how to fix this glitch, but it doesn't mean I can. It's just like you know how to run a 3 minute mile. You just run really fast without stopping, but it doesn't mean you can run a 3 minute mile.
Just let me back out and I can do the 'nerd', work for you.
"Shut up Chase." I mutter to him.
I follow the instruction that appear in front of my eyes. It takes some luck, but I got it. The alarm stops and people start to cheer. I find Adam and Bree helping a large Russian woman.
"Ready?" Bree asks. We nod and she takes us home.
Not really a Spikish chapter, but next chapter… Spike goes to school!
