Chapter 5
No Point of View
"You're going to have to force him out." Spike snarls.
"Alright." Adam says. He punches Spike in the head and he falls limp.
"Adam!" Bree scolds.
"Oh don't act like you're not glad I did it." Adam says.
"Come on we have to get him to Big D. so we can get Chase back." Leo says. They all nod and follow him outside where Mr. Davenport is waiting for them.
"What did you do to him?" Mr. Davenport asks loudly.
"Long story, but we have to get Chase back." Leo says to him.
The right home is silent. Everyone is trying to think of a way to get Chase back. When they get home Adam carries Spike down to the lab and lies him down on the cyber desk.
"What if we literally beat Chase out?" Adam suggests as they all gather around Spike trying to think of ways to get back Chase.
"We can't do that Adam. No matter how much I want to." Mr. Davenport mumbles the last part.
"We could bribe him out." Leo suggests.
"That could work." Mr. Davenport says. "What are some things that would get Chase to come out?"
"Books." Adam says.
"A calculator." Bree says.
"A nuclear residence spectrometer." Leo says remembering that first day in the new lab.
"Yes, Adam you get some books, Bree get a calculator and Leo get a nuclear residence spectrometer." Mr. Davenport instructs. Everyone nods and goes to find their items. A couple minutes later they all meet back at the cyber desk.
"I got books." Adam says carrying a ton of text books.
"I got a calculator." Bree says holding it up.
"And I got nothing." Leo says. "I don't know where to get a nuclear residence spectrometer that isn't bolted to the ground." He points to the one sitting in the corner of the lab.
"That's alright Leo. Adam I need you to put Spike in his capsule." Mr. Davenport says. Adam nods and follows orders.
"Now what?" Bree asks.
"We wait for Spike to wake up." Mr. Davenport says.
Spike's Point of view
My head hurts, why did that meat sack have to hit me in the head so hard?
Because you mad him mad.
Why can't Chase just keep quiet? I open my eyes and find myself in my capsule. I reach to open the door, but I can't its locked.
"Hey let me out!" I yell. Everyone in the room walks up to my capsule.
"Not till you give us back Chase." Bree says.
"Not going to happen."
"Fine, we'll just do it our way." Mr. Davenport says, Guys get the stuff." Adam and Bree come back holding some things in their hands.
"Come on Chase." Bree says. "I have a calculator, and it has multiply functions."
Oh calculator and it's the good kind!
He is such a nerd.
"Look what I have Chasey, a big stack of books!" Adam says.
Is that a book on neutrons? Give me, give me!
"Nice try guys." I say.
"It's not working Big D." Leo says.
"We need to think of something else." He says.
"What if we make his capsule so hot that he will do anything to make us stop." Bree suggests.
"Even let Chase back out, brilliant Bree!" Leo exclaims.
Do they realize I can hear them?
"I don't know guys that sounds wrong." Mr. Davenport says.
"We have to try it." Bree says.
"Alright fine." He walks over to the cyber desk and turns the temperature up in my capsule.
It starts to get really hot really fast. I just have to outlast them. If they think they are going to hurt Chase then they will stop. All I have to do is out last them.
"Aren't you scared you are going to hurt little Chase?" I jeer.
"A little sweat is good for the pores." Bree says as she shifts positions.
"But what about a lot of sweat? You don't want to make me dehydrated, do you?" They don't answer.
This is so hot! Spike stop, stop!
"Do you know what I hear? Chase is inside my head begging for you to stop." My mouth is like sand paper and I am light headed, but they are starting to cave.
What if this hurts my chip? This heat could really damage my bionics.
"Do you know what Chase just told me? He said this could really hurt his bionics, is that right Mr. Davenport?" Mr. Davenport jumps up, he knows I am right. He runs over to the cyber desk and stops the flow of heat. Cool air is immediately blown into my capsule. He broke.
"What was that for?" Leo asks.
"Spike's right, that amount of heat could damage his bionics." Mr. Davenport says.
"Well, now what are we supposed to do?" Leo asks.
"How did Spike even get out in the first place?" Mr. Davenport asks.
"Umm, ha ha, it's a funny story." Bree laughs.
"Super funny." Leo agrees.
"What's so funny about it? We made fun of Chase and he got mad. That's not funny at all." Adam says.
"Guys, what did you do?" Mr. Davenport asks.
"Remember Mallory Chase's doll when he was little?" Adam says.
"Yes, did you guys make fun of him for that?" Mr. Davenport asks.
"Yes." Bree says.
"Yep." Leo agrees.
"How could we not?" Adam asks.
"What have I told you guys about teasing him about Mallory? I used to get on you two about that all the time. For some reason Chase has always really loved that doll." Mr. Davenport says.
"That's really sad." Leo says.
"It was even sadder to watch him play with it." Bree says.
"Remember the tea parties?" Adam asks.
That was one time!
"What if we just demanded Spike to let Chase back out?" Leo suggests.
"Let's give it a try." Mr. Davenport says. He walks over to me and says "Spike, I demand you to give us Chase back this instant."
"Alright, fine." I say.
"Really?" He asks.
"NO!" I laugh. What could possibly make him think I care about what he says?
"Nice try." Bree says sarcastically.
"What if we just took Chase's chip out and then put it back in. Like what you do to the batteries in the T.V. remote." Adam suggests.
"Adam there's no way that would work." Leo says.
"Actually it might." Mr. Davenport says.
I'm getting out?
"Oh course there are a couple risks." He says rubbing his chin.
"Like what?" Bree asks.
"Like Spike might take over as the main personality and we could lose Chase forever, or the glitch might just not go away and when we put the chip back in Spike will still be there." He says.
"Hmm, it's worth the risk." Leo says.
"Yep." Bree agrees.
"Chasey!" Adam exclaims.
"I'm on it." Mr. Davenport says as he types something onto the cyber desk. I feel my chip being remove.
Yes, here I come.
You know you won't remember these past couple day, right?
I know, but I don't like seeing my family sad.
How sweet, just let me out again soon, alright?
Not a chance.
The rest of the chip is removed and I feel myself being shoved back into Chase's mind.
Chase's Point of View.
Commando App Disengaged
Ah man, Spike got out. I wonder how long I was out. Why am I in my capsule? Why is Adam-
"Ahh!" I yell as Adam grabs me and throws me across the room. "What did you do that for? It really hurt!"
"Chase is back!" Everyone cheers. Adam, Bree, Leo and Mr. Davenport run toward me and help me up.
"How long was I out?" I ask them. "And why is there glitter glued to my hands?"
"It's a long story." Bree says.
