The building collapsed trapping all my children inside. I ran after my brother without realizing that no one was behind me. As soon as I looked back, I gasped. I screamed at the top of my lungs and inserted the destroyed building. There was rubble everywhere. "Guys? Can you hear me?" I yelled.
"Big D! Help." I heard a voice. That was Leo. I spotted him under a huge mountain of pile. I dug him out. Fortunately he was on exoskeleton and got out with very minor injuries.
"Where are the others?" I asked.
"Maybe there." He pointed in the middle of the lair where huge ruins were fallen. We both ran to the place and started picking them up one by one. Suddenly I saw a hand. "Leo over here." We removed the part of the ceiling. Adam was lying there unconscious. I pulled him out and checked his pulse. There was one. Leo continued searching until he found Bree. She was alive too. Chase was nowhere to he found. "Come on Leo we cannot give up right now. Keep looking." I shouted worried about my youngest son. After some minutes we found his trapped under a surprisingly huge part of the wall. We picked it up and saw the blood coming out from his stomach. "That's not good." I mumbled.
We carried them to my car and drove them to the hospital right away without caring about their Bionics. Their health was more important than them.
When we arrived a lot of doctors approached us and took my children on three stretchers. Leo went for a check up too. I sat on the waiting room without doing anything. Just looking at the faces of the other people.
Moments later, Leo came in. "Hey Big D."
"Hey Leo. What did the doctor say?" I asked.
"I am fine. Just some scratches. I don't know about the others." He joined me on the seats.
Waiting was my worst enemy. I checked my clock almost every five minutes. I called Tasha and explained everything to her. She sounded terrified but could not do anything. She was on a business trip leaving me alone with four kids, three in unknown condition.
"Donald Davenport?" I heard my name being called and stood up anxious.
"It's me." I said.
The doctor walked closer to me. "I'll start with your older son. He suffered some injuries in his left hand and had to undergo surgery. It's a miracle that it was only that. You can see him if you want. Your daughter, Bree, has a broken leg, a broken wrist and some injuries on her stomach but she will recover soon. As for your youngest son." His face saddened. "We traced an internal building neat his liver. We managed to save it but due to some complications, we don't know if he is going to survive. He is in critical condition. The only thing we have to do is to wait." He continued.
"Thank you." I whispered looking at Leo who was about to cry.
"Come on Leo. Let's go to Adam and Bree." I told him.
Adam was awake, watching TV. His hand was in a cast. He should not move it all. I think he could not. We inserted the room smiling. He smiled back.
"Hey Adam." Leo greeted.
"Hello guys!" He replied while looking at TV screen. I walked closer in order to see what was so I interesting. Rabbids Invasion. Oh these rabbits are so annoying sometimes. However, Adam loved to watch them.
"How are the others Mr. Davenport?" My son asked.
"They're good." I lied in order not to panic him.
"Can I see them? The doctor said that I can if I use a chair like car."
"Wheelchair." Leo corrected.
"That. Please, please, please."
"Fine. We will only go to see Bree." I said and left the room to bring a wheelchair.
On my way to the reception, I noticed doctors running in a room. I arrived to the office and asked the secretary what happened. In the hearing of her words, my legs started trembling. I felt myself dizzy. "Are you alright?" She asked as he helped me to one of the chairs. "Wait here, I am going to bring you a glass of water." The woman walked away, leaving alone in my own thoughts. "Please be okay. Please." I mumbled.
One of the medical operators figured out that I was in the reception and came. "How is my son?"
"You have to be strong Mr. Davenport. The truth is that Chase will not last long. You should go say goodbye to him."
The cup, I was holding fell of my hands. Tears started to fall. I took a wheelchair and moved to Adam's room. I tried to make the tears go away but it was feckless.
"Mr. Davenport, what happened?" Adam asked.
"Let's go take Bree and visit your brother." I answered without explain nothing. I helped Adam and we headed to my daughter who was awake too. She seemed sad. Like she wanted to break down.
"Hey Bree. What's up?"
"I know." she replied staring at her phone. Bitterness was written all over her face.
"Know what?"
"Chase is dying. We need to see him now. I need to talk to him. Please." I nodded. Leo picked his sister up and placed her in her chair too. We exited the room thinking one thing. My son. Their brother.
We got inside the room only to see him lying on the bed, hooked up in all those machines. His pulse started to decrease minute by minute.
"Hey Chase. It's me dad." I whispered stroking his hair. "They told us that you have to go up in heaven early. It's okay man. I just want you to be safe. Don't forget us." I broke down crying, holding his hand. Leo pulled me away for a while. "Let's give them a moment." We got out leaving Adam and Bree alone with their brother.
Out of the blue, my brother appeared in my view holding Marcus' hand. As soon as I faced him, I gave him a glare. At that point, I wanted to make him pay for taking my son away from me. "What are you doing here?"
"I learned what happened. We can help."
"Leave my children alone."
"My children." he protested.
"Really? You dare to call yourself a father? Two of them are badly injured and one is fading. Douglas, just leave. Please."
"Wait, uncle Mr. Davenport, I can help him." Marcus interrupted.
"Why should I believe you? You try to kill him in the first place."
"No, Douglas reprogrammed me to be nice. I have energy transference."
"Big D, are you really considering this?" Leo asked.
"I have no choice. Marcus, if you try to take him out, I will be the one who will destroy you." I yelled and lead him in the room.
My children looked at me weird. "Mr. Davenport what is he...?" Bree asked. Adam stayed silent glaring at his android brother.
"He is the only one who can save Chase." I interrupted.
We all backed up as Marcus sucked all the energy from the lamp of the room. All the lights went down. He transferred it to Chase's body. The heart monitor started beeping normally. His pulse seemed to increase again. A smile of pride shined on my face.
"Here. It's not enough to wake him up immediately but he should be fine. Come on dad, let's go." he said ready to leave.
"Wait." I blocked the door. "You can stay."
Hours later, Chase woke up and started talking to us. He was very surprised when we told him what Marcus did. My three children were in their rooms sleeping while Leo was with Marcus in the cafeteria. I was with my brother in the waiting room.
"Thank you!" I said.
"I maybe evil but I would never let any of my children die. I promise."
"You hurt them though."
"Technically it was Adam's fault."
"Douglas."
"Fine it was mine. Will you ever forgive me?"
"I guess yes." I hugged him feeling the love between us.
