Chapter 17: Rescue
Tucker landed outside an abandoned, run-down building. "We're here." he said, his eyes darting around as though he was scared that someone would jump out and attack him . . .
Sam frowned as she stepped out, looking around. "Here? This place is abandoned Tucker. There's nothing here!" she said, her hands on her hips as she frowned at the techno-geek.
Tucker shook his head. "That's just what they want you to think! Their lab is underground . . ." he said and then shuddered. He really didn't like being back here . . .
Jazz looked around. "So how do we get in?" she asked, trying to keep her mind on the task of saving her little brother.
Tucker pulled out his PDA and moved some things around on the screen. He then turned the PDA so that the screen faced the girls and a little, video game-like animation played to illustrate Tucker's words.
"There's a hatch on the ground in the building, we find that and slip in. We avoid any guards and find our way to the holding chamber where Danny will most likely be in. We bust Danny out, hightail it back to the hatch, jump into the Specter Speeder and head back to FentonWorks." he finished as the PDA played cheerful music and little, badly animated characters danced around on the screen.
Sam's left eye developed a slight twitch as the cheerful music played and she suppressed the strong urge to break the PDA. "So . . . without the cheap graphics and crappy music, we're basically just trying not to be seen as we sneak around the facility . . ." she hissed out.
Tucker nodded and put the PDA away. "Yeah, that's pretty much it." he said and then led the group inside, Sam insisting that she take the back.

Danny lay on the table, exhausted and hurting. He hadn't felt that much pain . . . well, since the last time they experimented on him . . . breathing was hard, but he forced himself to continue. He would never let himself die . . . not at the hands of the GiW anyways . . . The only good thing that had come from this round of experiments was that he was human again . . . though this infuriated Agent 42 and the pain only increased. It didn't help that another person had come in . . . Danny couldn't see him, but his tone was harsh and it seemed like he was higher ranking than the other two GiWs . . .
"Try again!" the man barked and Danny tensed as he prepared for the pain.
"Mr. Masters! It might kill him if we do it again!" Agent 320 protested.
"Try again . . . I refuse to let this experiment fail!"
Pain. Excruciating and crippling pain rushed through Danny's body. He could hear someone screaming and the sound of the tortured scream sent chills down his spine . . . and then Danny realized . . . the scream was coming from him . . . As ectoplasmic electricity coursed through his body, he could feel the restraints tighten and realized that his body was pulling against them as he twisted, trying to somehow escape the pain that he could only hope would end soon . . .

Tucker, Jazz, and Sam had just entered the halls when they heard a horrifying sound.
"Oh God . . . Danny . . ." Jazz whispered, horrified by the sound of her brother's tortured scream.
Sam was the first to recover from the shock. "Let's go! If we follow the sound, we're bound to find him." she said, taking the lead.
Jazz recovered second, determined to get to her brother as quickly as possible. She followed swiftly after Sam.
Tucker had gone horribly pale at the sound of his friend's screams . . . He was the last to recover as he shook his head. "We're coming Danny." he muttered as he ran after the girls. They'd gotten quite a ways ahead of him . . .
And then Danny's screams stopped.
Sam skidded to a halt, causing Jazz to do the same thing to try and avoid running into the goth girl. Tucker gradually came to a stop, having been rather far behind the girls.
Tucker pulled out his PDA quickly, his face once more growing pale. A small little beeping noise then started coming from the PDA. "This way." he said as he once more took the lead.
"What is that?" Jazz asked, looking over the techno-geek's shoulder.
"Tracker. Danny's idea. We realized that the Guys in White would most likely be coming after us, so in case we ever got separated, we could always try to find each other again. If he got kidnapped, I would already have my PDA, but if I got kidnapped, I would drop my PDA, so that he could find it, and in turn, find me." he explained.
Sam frowned. "That beeping noise might give us away . . ." she muttered.
Tucker sighed and then the beeping stopped. "Sorry . . ." he muttered back. He then looked up from the PDA. They had come to an intersection. He looked back down at the PDA and pushed a few buttons . . .
"This way." he said as he turned to the left.
Jazz and Sam followed after him.

They'd gone . . . Finally . . . Danny was finally granted some peace . . . He closed his eyes and rested, feeling his body give off small twitches as he recovered from the brutal treatment that he had received. He breathed in and out slowly, each breath feeling like he had a large weight placed upon his chest.
Mr. Masters, whoever that was, had gotten frustrated with the lack of results and had ordered the two agents to discontinue the experiments for now . . . Danny took this with a grain of salt. He was free from pain for now . . . but they'd be back . . . he just knew it.
Then, he heard a sound that he hadn't been expecting to hear for quite some time yet! Footsteps! But . . . There was something . . . off . . . They were sporadic . . . like a group of people running and then stopping suddenly. He could hear muffled voices, but his senses were fried . . . he couldn't make out what they were saying . . .
Plus, even if he could hear them, he'd never find the strength to break free from his restraints . . . The closer the footsteps got, the clearer the voices became . . . it was still fuzzy, but he was starting to make out words . . .
"Dann . . . in here . . ."
". . . he's . . ."
". . . wasting . . . save . . ."
Something was tugging at Danny's mind about the voices, but he was just so wiped from the experiments . . . he didn't want to listen to what his mind was trying to tell him . . . he wanted to rest . . . even if they were coming in to experiment on him, couldn't he just have a bit more time to rest?
He heard the door open . . . apparently not . . .

Sam carefully opened the door as Tucker and Jazz looked down either side of the hallway. "Come on . . ." she whispered as she held open the door. Tucker went in first, and then Jazz, and finally Sam followed.
The girls froze at what they saw. Danny, strapped to a table, wires attached to him, under a light that was normally seen in operating rooms . . .
Tucker moved quickly to turn off the light first. He was just starting to remove the wires and such from Danny when he noticed that the girls seemed stunned. "Hey!" he said and then gestured for the girls to come over. "Help me here!"
Sam and Jazz rushed over and started to undo the straps, letting Tucker handle the technical stuff.
Danny stirred, opening his eyes. The figures above him were blurry . . . but familiar . . . As his eyes adjusted, they widened. "Guys?!" he asked incredulously. Three faces smiled back at him as he felt the restraints loosening. With a tremendous effort, he sat up, now able to do so as he rubbed his wrists, frowning at the straps that had held him down for so long. He was then nearly knocked back down as he felt a pair of arms throw themselves around him as his sister gave him a hug.
"Danny . . ." Jazz murmured, happy that her little brother was alive and in one piece. She had been so scared when she heard his scream stop. Even if it hurt her to hear him scream, at least it meant that he was alive . . .
Sam and Tucker finished their tasks of freeing Danny from whatever was left and then Jazz helped support him as they got him off the table. Danny was shaking slightly, from the lack of energy and from the fact that he had been lying on the table for a while, but soon they all headed out . . . and that's when things went downhill . . .
"Hey! Stop right there!!" a Guy in White had been walking down the hallway when he saw four kids exit a room. He recognized two of them as experiments. He started running towards them.
Danny, Tucker and Jazz's eyes all widened. However, Sam lifted up her wrist and pushed a button on a little watch that she didn't have before she filched it from Fenton Works. The green beam of ectoplasm hit the GiW dead on the chest. He was knocked a long ways back. Sam turned to the others who were now staring at her in shock. "Don't just stand there! Run! We've got to get back to the Specter Speeder!" she said and started pushing her friends until they remembered how to use their legs again and started running as fast as they could.
