"Mac? Hello?" Adam took the phone off his ear and saw the call had ended. "That's weird." Adam had a strange feeling.
"Maybe it was a wrong number, you know. He accidentally ass dialed," she said slyly.
"My boss does not ass dial. " Adam tried calling Mac again, but didn't get an answer, so he called the NYPD to put a trace on Mac's last call. A minute later dispatch called him back and gave him the location of where Mac was. Adam thought to himself I think he and Lindsay are in trouble. "I gotta go back to work."
"Come on, we got here an hour ago."
"I know, but my work needs me."
"Fine." She looked at him angrily then continued, "I see Skelator. I'll go with him and take a cab when I'm done here." She then walked away.
"Great," Adam grumbled while he called a cab.
Lab security officers looked at Adam with confusion since he was still wearing his He-Man costume with the sword on his back.
"You come from a costume party?" the officer asked.
"Yeah and now my bosses need me here."
"Is Skelator causing trouble up there?" the officer smiled.
"If he is, I'll take care of him," Adam said.
"Good night," the security guard said with a smile.
Adam waved then went in the elevator and got to the lab and noticed it was mostly empty.
He went to the Audio/Visual department and checked with the computerized home since he still couldn't reach Mac. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Oh no." He called Jo. "Jo, I'm at the lab since Mac called and we lost a signal so I tried calling him back but I couldn't reach him. I need permission to hack into the computerized home because Mac and Lindsay are in trouble. Thanks." Adam then hung up.
At the computerized home-
Mac felt tired since he pushed the walls apart while Lindsay tried to use the cellphone, but it had no service. A few minutes later a pipe suddenly stuck out and sprayed cold water in the room. Mac wondered if Adam was at the lab or not.
"I still can't use the cell and the iPad won't connect either."
"Great. I hope Adam tried to call me back or called Jo or shown up at the lab by now. Use one of the cases and try to use it against that hole to keep the water from coming in too fast."
"Okay." Lindsay used the case to block the water then pushed it against the wall as the water lessened then another pipe opened up in front of Mac.
"Ah! COLD!" Lindsay turned and saw Mac was being sprayed with water. The water was already knee deep and she ran to him and put the case in front of the blast of water and held it.
"What do we do now?"
"See if you can find a vacuum cleaner hose so I can breathe through it and you can sit on my shoulders," Mac told her.
The water was up to Lindsay's shoulders by the time she got the vacuum cleaner hose to Mac's mouth, then she stood on his shoulders.
At Earnest's home-
Jo and Don were in the car when she got a phone call. "Danville, yeah, Adam. What? We are outside the suspect's home, keep trying to get in the computer to the home and I'll let you know when we arrest him. Bye." She looked at Don. "We need to hurry, it seems Mac and Lindsay are in grave danger. The home is acting like it has a mind of its own and Mac is holding the walls apart."
"Ooh. Let's go." Don and Jo got out as the officers approached the door. Don knocked then shouted, "NYPD! Open up!"
After a few moments the officer with the ram approached and broke the door down and officers converged.
"Put your hands up!" the officers yelled.
Earnest grinned then he threw his laptop towards the kitchen and it smashed against the tile floor.
"What was that for?" Don asked as he approached carefully and put the cuffs on him.
Earnest chuckled evilly while Sheldon grabbed the laptop and put it on the table. Danny had the computer hooked up to the laptop and they looked at the screen. "Shit! Jo! You gotta call Adam to the lab! Lindsay and Mac are in grave danger!" Danny said nervously. They saw Lindsay on Mac's shoulders holding the hose, even though it was dark because the camera had night vision.
"He's at the lab and he should be able to fix it now." She saw what they were looking at as did Don "Wow, trouble is right." She called Adam to let him know they had arrested the suspect.
"I guess we can charge him with attempted murder times two of a police officer," Don said while he glared at the suspect who was seated in his chair then told the officer near the suspect, "Get him to lockup."
At the computerized house-
"Come on Adam. Get us out of here," Lindsay said to herself while she held the hose up, concerned the water was up to Mac's neck. "I sure hope Adam has finally gotten control over this house. He loves the idea of a computerized house? If he still likes the idea of a computerized house, you will have to talk to him."
When the lights went out and the water stopped, it wasn't yet over Mac's head but he had to lift his head to breathe comfortably.
Mac laughed a bit, "I think he will have changed his mind by now." He talked out of the side of his mouth.
"I think someone has been controlling the home."
"It made sense that someone else was controlling it." Mac talked out of the side of his mouth.
"Can you feel the walls still moving?"
"No. I'm wondering if Adam has control of the home now since the water stopped." Mac felt very tired; he wondered how long he was holding the walls apart since it had drained him.
The pipe that had unleashed the water earlier sucked the water out of the room, so Mac carefully brought his foot down. As he did, the lights came back on. Lindsay took the cases away, then after a few moments the water was gone. Mac stood for a few seconds. After Lindsay put the cases down she noticed Mac wasn't very steady on his feet so she helped him sit near the wall that he had his hands on.
Just outside the room where Mac and Lindsay were-
Don had been at the home for a few minutes when Adam called him.
"Yeah. There is? Okay." Don walked over to another room then felt the wall for a secret passageway and the wall opened up. He talked to Adam, "Now I hope there isn't going to be a boogeyman showing up or some ghost."
Adam giggled, "No, there isn't."
Don took a flashlight, turned it on, and entered the passageway, while an officer stood near the opening, watching Don go in. Don kept his phone to his ear and a flashlight in his other hand. "Okay, Adam, where do I go?" After a few minutes of Adam telling Don where to go he stopped and looked at an area he was in with a flashlight. "I assume there isn't anything that is going to hurt me." He started to push but couldn't. "Adam, are you sure this is the wall that opens up?"
"Yeah, I'm sure. Let me call Lindsay." Once he got Lindsay on the phone he said, "Can you have Mac move? I think he happens to be blocking the door that can swing open." He noticed Lindsay helping Mac up, then Lindsay picked up the case and they moved a few inches to the left. He called Don, "Okay, try it again."
Don opened the door and saw Lindsay and Mac looking at him. "Hey guys, Adam has shown me how to get you out of here."
"Great." Lindsay picked up the two cases, followed Don out and Mac walked out slowly after them.
"So, did we find a gun?" Don asked as they got into a room.
"Yeah. One of the lab techs texted me and told me he found it and it's already back at the lab actually," Lindsay said.
"Thanks," Mac said to Don then gave Lindsay the keys, "You're drivin'.
Back at the lab-
Adam reached for his sword and raised it above his head, "By the power of Grayskull!" Then he made noises to imitate Prince Adam changing into He-Man then brought the sword down to his chest and held the blade with the other hand and said, "I have the power!" Adam yelled while Danny approached.
"Adam?" Danny said then asked, "What is this?" as he motioned to Adam's clothes.
"Oh, how long have you been watchin'?" Adam asked surprised.
"Enough to wonder what you are doing?" Danny smiled.
"I had a costume party tonight and I couldn't change." Adam had his jeans on and a shirt but still had the sword in its holder and red boots. "Where's Jo and Sheldon?"
"They are finishing up the scene where we arrested him."
Thirty minutes later-
Mac and Lindsay arrived at the lab and put the items in an evidence box and Danny processed them. Lindsay and Mac went to their respective lockerooms to change and dry off, then a little later Mac went to his office and laid on the couch. A while later Jo and Sheldon arrived while Adam finished with processing the video.
After awhile, Adam put away the evidence then followed Jo and Lindsay to Mac's office.
"Mac, you need to go home for the night. I can finish up here," Jo told him.
Mac sat up carefully; he felt sore then gave Adam a perplexed look.
"What? Oh, uh, costume party, I didn't go home," Adam said.
"Well, what does Earnest say?" Mac asked as he sat back and sighed.
"He just wanted the house and didn't want anyone to get in the way," Jo said.
"Mac, is there anyway to maybe see if the computerized home can be disabled before someone buys it?" Adam asked.
"I thought you like the idea of a computerized home?" Lindsay asked.
"Well, I did but uh... I think it's better on the Jetsons than in real life," Adam said.
They all laughed while they talked in Mac's office, then everyone went home for the night.
