"What's taking them so long? They should be back by now." I groan.

"I'm sure they're fine." Bree said, but she no longer sounded so sure of herself. Suddenly, Krane popped up on the screen again.

"Hello Bree, Adam. How are you? Do you miss your family?" He moves to the side, revealing a cage.

"Leo! Mr. Davenport! Douglas!"

"Adam! Bree! Don't come! It's too danger-" Mr. Davenport calls before being cut off by Krane.

"That's enough out of you. I was going to do something else, but this seems much, much easier. Here's the deal, you two come, and in exchange for the two of you plus your brother here, these three can walk free. You have 24 hours or all four of them-" he made a cutting sign across his throat before disappearing off the screen.

"We need to do something!" I say.

"I know! But what can we do?" Bree says.

"I don't know, but come on. Let's go!" I run to my capsule to change.

"But we need a plan, Adam."

"We have one. Go in there, take him out, and get our family back."

"But-"

"Now come on." Bree goes and suites up.

"Ok. This is where Chase's GPS locator says he is. Come on!" I run into the building. Suddenly, I come face to face with Victor Krane.

"Nice of you to finally show up, Adam. Where's your sister?"

"Adam! Wait up! Ohh…" Bree ran up almost bumping into Krane.

"Hello Bree. Nice of you to join us. Now come, I have some people who I'm sure you want to say goodbye to before I eliminate you."

"We're not going anywhere. Now show us where they are!"

"Why of course, Adam. After you."

Bree and I arrive in an empty room.

"I don't get. I thought you said they'd be here!" I yell.

"Correction." Krane responded. "I said I had someone for you to say goodbye to. Did you really think that I'd be foolish enough to let you meet them in person? Come on." He rolled his eyes. "Here." He pulled out a remote and hit a button. Suddenly, the cage with Leo, Douglas, and Mr. Davenport popped up on the screen.

"Mr. Davenport! Leo! Douglas! Are you guys ok?" Bree calls.

"Guys! Why did you come here? It isn't safe!"

"But Mr. Davenport, we had to! Where's Chase?" I ask, not being able to see my little brother anywhere.

"We don't know!" Leo says. "We've been stuck in this cage since we got here. We haven't seen him anywhere."

"Your brother," Krane said, "is waiting for you in secure location preceding your elimination. Come along."

"We aren't going anywhere!" I insist, going to punch him, but he simply holds his hand up to stop my hand. I slowly feel my hand being crunched.

"Adam!" Bree yells, zooming up to Krane, catching him off guard. "Come on!" She zoomed us out of the warehouse.

"Come on Bree! I almost had him!" I insist.

"No, you didn't! We were almost eliminated!" I had no response so I stormed out of the lab.

Flashback

"Hey! Adam!" Chase yelled, tripping over my ankle.

"Ha! I got you! And you're too weak and pathetic to even do anything about it." I say mockingly.

"Seriously Adam, this serum is very valuable. If it enters a bionic person's digestive tract, it can disable their bionics. Mr. Davenport and I created it in case Krane somehow activates our triton apps again."

"Yeah, blah blah blah. You're a nerd. We get it." I say, rolling my eyes.

"Hey! I will have you know that I am the smartest man on this planet."

"We know!" Everyone agreed in unison.

"Look Chase," I say. "I'm sorry. I know that you need that big brain of yours to be seen."

"Yeah Adam? Well maybe you need someone to deflate your ego!"

"C'mon, I was just goofing around."
