It had been about a week since the dance and things had been very awkward around the house, Chase and I had been ignoring each other and it was effecting everyone else apparently "Hey Nessa" Tasha greeted cheerfully, I nodded in greeting and turned back to my computer "How's it goin'?" I asked, she squeeled and I looked at her "I have amazing news, come down into the lab I wanna tell everyone" she exclaimed, I nodded and closed my computer before following her into the lift,
we walked into the room and everyone was there "Well your favorite news reporter just got their big break" Tasha said, the guys named some random news reporters and I rolled my eyes "No...me. I am done doing stories on singing dogs and babies that look like ex-presidents, the network finally gave me a real assignment, I'm covering a runaway train" she announced "Wow what a coinkidinc Mr Davenport..." Dad cut off Adam "Is uh so proud of you honey"
he said giving Adam a warning look "Will you watch Leo?" she asked, Dad nodded "Of course and don't forget be balanced and fair, collect all the facts and blame the conductor he's an idiot" Dad said pushing Tasha towards the lift door, she nodded and headed upstairs while I stayed in the lab with the others "This stinks, everyone get's to go on an' adventure but me" Leo said dissapointedly, I gave him a confused look "What?" I asked
"The guys are gonna go on a mission to stop the train" he replied sulking, my eyes widened slightly "Leo don't worry just because these guys are going on the train doesn't mean we can't have fun here, I'll pop in the 'Goober the spunky Gaboose DVD in for yah" Dad exclaimed smiling, I gave him a look "I'm 14" Leo pointed out "Okay then pop it in yourself" Dad said shrugging and turning to the others "C'mon guys we gotta get you in your gear"
he said, they jogged of somewhere and I sighed to myself "Hey Nessa help me out" Leo said quietly, I watched him put the bag on the floor and lie down in it, he actually fitted "Look at that, I'm travel size" he exclaimed happily "Leo your not going with them" I said crossing ym arms "C'mon Nessa, I'll give you 20 dollars" he said pleadingly, I gave him a look "Leo do you have that much money?" I asked, he shook his head "No but I can get it...Please I really wanna help them"
he begged, I thought for a moment before zipping up the bag "I'm probably not gonna relax all day now" I said after zipping it up "Thank you" his muffled voice said, I rolled my eyes and sat on the counter while the guys came back "Hey Nessa where's Leo?" Dad asked curiously, I shrugged "He went upstairs to do something" I replied, he nodded and I pulled him to the side while the others put on their gear "Are you sure those guys are ready? I mean this is dangerous"
I whispered, he sighed "I thought it too, but they have to do it sometime and they've been training hard all for this moment. They really wanna go Nessa and it's only fair that you support them, despite all the problems your having with Chase" he said putting an' arm around my shoulder soothingly, I nodded "Ready" Bree exclaimed excited, Dad walked over to them and I watched from the archway "Okay I've called my chopper and it should be here in 2 minutes"
he said, they nodded and I walked over to them "Hi guys" I said, they faced me and nodded in greeting "You okay? You look a little off" Bree said worriedly, I shrugged "I'm fine. Just promise me you'll be careful okay? Don't touch anything you shouldn't" I said directing the last part at Adam, he rolled his eyes
"Don't worry about us Nessa, we'll be fine I swear" Bree said reasuringly, I nodded and hugged her then Adam, I looked at Chase and things turned awkward again "Good luck" I finally managed to say, he nodded and Dad came over "It's time guys, me and Nessa will be watching you on the monitor" he said motioning to his computer screen on the table, they nodded and left the lab.
I was sat on the computer chair watching the screen with Dad, Chase was flicking Adam for some reason and I just rolled my eyes "Focus guys, we only got 15 minutes before this thing hits a turn flies off the tracks and blows up Welkerville" Dad exclaimed "Man I'm glad I don't live there" Adam said chuckling, I smiled
"Chase locate the onboard braking system, Bree inspect the tanks for leaks and Adam get a picture of the Spidometer for my web page..Wow" Dad said smiling, I gave him a look and he handed me something "Headset?" he asked sheepishly, I took it from him and put it on "Hey guys" I greeted "Hi Nessa" Adam said waving at the camera, I chuckled and watched as the bag Leo was in fell into the train, he unzipped it and the guys surrounded him
"Leo?" they exclaimed "Where's the dining cart? I'd like to get a bite to eat before I save the town of Welkerville" he said dramatically while putting his hands on his hips "Leo what are you doing here?" Bree asked "Joining the mission, I wanna be like you guys" he replied "Leo your not like us and I don't mean that in a bad way we just have really cool super fun features and you don't" Adam said nonchalantly "Uh Leo where's the diselorator we need to stop the train?"
Chase asked holding the bag "You mean the pointy metal thing that was poking me in the butt?" he asked nervously, I noticed dad holding some giant metal device "It's right here" he said angrily, I giggled nervously "Oh Leo you in trouble" I said in a baby voice, he glared at the camera "You zipped the bag Nessa it's your fault as much as mine" he pointed out, my eyes widened and they all faced the camera "You knew he was in the bag?" Dad asked,
I winced and nodded "Maybe" I squeeked "Leo I'm supposed to be watching you" Dad exclaimed "And you are, in glorious HD" Leo said, I nodded in agreement and noticed dad glaring at me "Leo without the diselorator we can't stop the train" Chase admitted "Davenport what are we gonna do?" Bree asked "I'm coming to get Leo if he blows up on that train I'm gonna have to get Tasha a puppy. I'll bring the diselorator in my high speed helicopter...Wow how many guys can sayd that they chased their high speed train in their high speed helicopter? I'm awesome"
Dad exclaimed, I rolled my eyes and he held the diselorator "I'm coming" I said standing "No you stay here Nessa" he said turning to me, I crossed my arms "Okay but I'm sure Tasha will be very happy to know you let Leo go on a speeding train that will most likely blow up" I said knowingly, he sighed and smiled "Of course you can come sweety" he said, I nodded "Thought so" I said following him.
