"My legs are sticking, my legs are sticking." I heard my youngest son yelling while being hunted by the now killer-dog Otis. He ran in the training area. Suddenly, I heard a really loud scream coming from him. "Oh no. He bit him." I thought. I descended from the hydro-loop where I was the whole time and walked in towards my son. What I saw, made me gasp. Chase was lying down on the floor and my dog was literately eating his skin. I hit Otis in the head and removed his chip. I did kill him of course, he was my dog. I just knocked him unconscious. I turned my gaze to my son who was minutes from passing out.

"Chase, can you hear me?" I asked.

"It hurts. I can't." He exclaimed and closed his eyes.

I checked his injury and figured out that it was really awful. Adam appeared out of nowhere. As soon as he saw his brother, leaned down to his side. "What happened?"

"Otis happened. He hurt Chase. We need to carry him to the infirmary right away. Can you do that?"

He nodded and picked him up. I walked to the bathroom in order to get myself cleaned up, leaving Otis there. I would take him upstairs too.

As I was ready to treat Otis properly, my other children came fighting over something.

"You destroyed my Shelley." Leo complained.

"You know I like English boys." Bree yelled.

"Guys, guys, GUYS!" I shouted.

Both of them looked at me.

"What happened to Otis?" My daughter wondered out loud.

"I was forced to hit him. The serious and important matter is your brother."

"What's wrong with Chase?"

"He got hurt by Otis. He wanted to kill me so your brother came up with a plan which was not so effective and he ended up unconscious. Adam took him upstairs."

I stared at my children's opened mouths. They ran inside the hydro-loop and I followed.

In a matter of minutes, we found ourselves next to my older son who was crying. I gave my dog for treatment and joined him in the waiting room.

"It's all my fault. If I had not insisted to keep Otis here, nothing would have happened. I hate myself."

"Adam, it was an accident. None of us knew that he was trying to eliminate me." I tried to comfort my son in the nicest possible way.

The doctor inserted the room and we all stood up anxious. "How is he?" I asked.

"Look, due to his Bionics and super strength, the force which Chase received was the double than in a normal person. It damaged his femoral artery, the main artery of the leg which provides oxygenated blood to the tissues of the leg. If this get cut, the person loses approximately 30% of his blood."

"What that means?" Adam asked.

"It means that if more blood exert from his leg, he will die. In this case, that is not sure because of his Bionics."

Adam could not stand listen to this and left furious. "Adam." I screamed. I was really to follow him when I was pulled back by Leo. "Let him go."

"Can I see my son?" I asked.

"Yes, come with me. You guys have to stay outside."

We went inside Chase's room and I saw him hooked up in a heart monitor, many IV cables. A large tube was connected to his mouth to assist him breathing. His leg was wrapped in bandages which were red. I sat gently on the bed and held his hand.

"Please don't die, Chase. We need you. I know it was a terrible mistake to let Adam keep Otis. You have to understand that he replaced you. He was like a kid to me. I am so sorry son." I stayed there for a while, telling him stories from his youth age. When people are in a condition like this, they can hear but they are not able to respond.

I heard footsteps approaching. It was Adam. He opened the door smiling a little. "Hey." I greeted.

"Hey, they said I could visit him."

"Of course. Excuse me." I stood up and exited the room, looking and listening from the window.

I did not know that my first creation could be so smart when it comes to a situation like this. "Don't leave me Chasey. I will be a better brother to you, I promise. I will help you to overcome this. I love you man."

His words were so inspiring. I could be there all afternoon listening to them.

After what it felt like an hour, Bree and Leo came.

"Hey how is he?" Bree asked.

"The same. It's been almost three hours since I am here and nothing changed." I replied disappointed.

"Guys, look at him. He is really pale and he cannot even breath on his own." Leo admitted.

"Hello kids. They told me that someone got injured. How many times have I told you to take care of the students? You are mentors... CHASE." Donald screamed as he saw him on the bed. "But how? Why? Who did this?"

"Otis, my dog."

"Oh Douglas how many times have I told you not to bring your parasites here?"

"It's not my fault. Do you think I don't care for my children?"

"Oh yeah, you tried to kill them..."

"Enough!" Bree yelled. "Chase needs to be okay right now. So shut it and wait. I am going inside."

I have to admit it. We were a bit annoying.

A week later, Chase woke up. He complained many times about the pain in his leg but we manage to make feel a little better. I was downstairs when my mobile rang. I picked it up and immediately ran to the infirmary.

"What's going on?"

"I am bored. I want to leave this place. Can you talk to my doctor please?"

"No. You have to stay here for 3 more weeks. You almost die some days earlier."

"If it was not for your stupid dog."

"Chase, I know and I am sorry. Otis is safe with Kranes now. The name is just a coincidence."

"I just can't. I need to go back to my classes. They can't see me like that."

I sighed and sat on the bed next to him. "Nobody will say anything about you. They all love you. I love you."

"Really?"

"Of course man. Now do you want me to tell you a story?"

"Douglas I am not five."

"About how I accidentally lost all your research."

"What? Come here." He yelled and I instantly left. I ran away laughing.
