I was eating cereal for breakfast when Douglas comes in and sits next to me. He looks happy, so he probably thought of a new way to ruin Donald.
"Are you hanging out with Chase today?" Douglas asks.
"Yeah, we're hanging out at his house to study today." I respond, a little unsure about where this is heading.
"Good, invite him over after school." Douglas says.
"Yes sir." I say despite the bad feeling I have in my stomach.
Line break
I sit next to Chase in pre calculus; the tardy bell hasn't rung yet so there's time to talk.
"Hey Chase, do you want to come to my house after school instead?" I ask, hoping he won't want to know why.
"Sure, but my parents will want to meet your dad." Chase replies.
"He wont get off work till 5." I say, hoping Douglas will be gone.
"Ok, I'm sure its fine." Chase says.
We talk some more till the tardy bell rings.
Line break
"Home sweet home." I say as we walk to the front door. Chase called Mr. Davenport and explained to him where he would be, and why my dad couldn't meet with him.
Once we're inside, I notice Douglas isn't around. "You want anything to eat or drink?" I ask after we put our stuff down in the living room. I'm feeling a little self-conscious, because his house is so fancy and big, and mine is in an 'up and coming area' according to the realtor Douglas hired.
"No thank you." Chase replies.
I go to the kitchen and grab myself a water bottle, and notice that Douglas left a note:
I'll be late, here's some money for pizza or something.
-D
He left forty dollars, and a menu for some local pizza place that delivers.
"Hey Chase, my dad left money for pizza do you want anything?" I ask as I throw the menu toward him.
Chase picks the menu up and looks it over, "Tasha's co-worker loves this place. She recommends the Hawaiian pizza." Chase says.
"We can get a large Hawaiian and a large cheese pizza." I say. Chase nods so I call the pizza place and give them the order.
Twenty-five minutes later, we finished the poster board for our project, and then the pizza arrives. The total was thirty-two dollars, with delivery fee and tip, but I give him forty dollars instead, and he seems to be happy.
We were watching TV at 4:30p.m. When Douglas walks through the door.
"Hey dad your home early." I almost call him Douglas.
Douglas seems to catch on to what I'm saying when he sees Chase, "Yeah I got off wok early. Hi I'm Douglas Davis." Douglas introduces himself.
"Chase Davenport. Its nice to meet you sir." Chase says offer his hand to shake.
"Dad there's pizza in the fridge if you want some." I say, trying to get him to go.
"Marcus never brings his friends around, it was nice to finally meet one." Douglas says before he walks into the kitchen.
"Your dad seems nice." Chase comments.
"Yeah." I say, its not like I can say he's evil.
Chases phone beeps, "Tasha's on her way. She'll probably want to meet your dad if that's ok." Chase says.
"Yeah that's fine. I'll go get him." I walk off into the kitchen.
"Chases mom is coming to pick him up and she wants to meet you." I say, standing out of his reach.
"As long as it's not Donald, we should be fine." Douglas says, and then we hear the doorbell ring.
We walk to the front door, and Chase is standing next to Tasha.
"Hi you must be Chases mother, he such a nice kid. I'm Douglas Davis." Douglas says.
"Hi I'm Tasha Davenport, and thank you. Your boy is very polite, and he's always welcome at our home." Tasha says, I don't think she likes the neighborhood that I live in.
"Well we better get going. It was nice to meet you." Tasha says.

We are in the lab training, when Douglas says, "I need you to start bringing them over more, I want them to be comfortable be for we kidnap them."
"Yes sir." I say before we resume training. I feel guilty tricking them, but what can I do?
A/N Sorry for the short chapter, the next one will be longer I promise.
Please forgive any grammar and/or spelling mistakes that I made.

AllAmericanSlurp: Thanks, I wasn't too sure. Marcus is starting to face the truth; Donald isn't a bad guy. But will he side with the only family he's ever known, or help the lab rats out?
