Capítulo XXI- El Laboratorio Movilizado
Bree plopped on a chair as Patience dutch braided her hair due to the hot weather. Bree had asked Patience to braid her hair like hers as they waited for Leo to gather his final tickets for the red crab stuff animal at the arcade's redemption counter.
Bree had won her stuffed bear earlier and Patience won a smaller stuffed bear that sat on the chair beside Bree. Patience looped the last strands of hair before Leo came up to them with a stuffed shark and crab.
"Oh, guys, I was thinking we could get smoothies," Patience reached into her shorts and extracted a 20 dollar bill.
"Where do you get this money?" Leo asked.
"I like to save my money," she shrugged. "Come on."
Bree carried her bear on her back, Leo had the shark and crab on his side, and Patience carried the bear like a baby with one arm. They wandered out of the arcade to the smoothies shack, smiling when they heard music playing and a silver-painted man danced to the rhythm.
However, their smiles dropped when they spotted Chase dancing along with the man. "Chase, what are you doing here?" Bree chided.
"Watching this guy," Chase grinned, jumping up and down. "People keep giving him money, but he just won't leave."
Leo grumbled, "You're supposed to be watching the mobile lab."
"No worries. Adam's watching it."
Adam strolled next to them with Chase's sun hat on and a tray full of ice cream, "What's up, beach bums?"
"Adam? You were also supposed to be in the lab!" Patience stressed.
"Well, I wanted an ice cream cone, but it had 21 flavors. And you know me, I'm never one to make an uninformed decision," he licked his ice cream.
"Adam, get rid of those. We need to get back to the mobile lab," Leo demanded.
"Oh, right." Adam faced the crowd, "Free ice cream!" Someone passed by and Adam gave him the ice cream he already licked. "Oh, and don't worry, it's barely licked." He grimaced and gave Adam his ice cream back.
Patience took an ice cream and began to bite into it not caring that her teeth ached. Patience went to a small state of panic and dashed to the mobile lab. Adam gave away the ice cream tray to a group of people he saw in the distance.
Adam, Bree, Chase, Leo, and Patience sprinted to the lot and gradually came to a stop when they approached their destination. "Where's the mobile lab? It was parked right here," Bree said, perplexed.
"It's gone!"
"Okay, all right. Nobody panic," Chase trailed the skit marks made by the mobile lab's tires.
