Chapter 13

Chase's POV-

I inserted my feet into the small slits of my 'medical bed'. Well, I say bed. It was more like an upright board of metal, with a few arm and leg straps here and there. Luckily, there weren't any wires tangled around me this time, so it was slightly more comfortable. 

Scientists scattered the room, fiddling with different appliances. Agent Gordon and Agent Tess stood off to the side of the room, arms folded. 

"OK Chase," one of the scientists told me sternly. "Do not move at all, not even for an itch. And, try not to breath that deeply either".

I was strapped down in another testing chair, a black screen blocking my line of sight. I could hear only murmurs, due to the hum of the x-ray machine being so loud. I closed my eyes, being unable to lift or lie my head down. My thoughts were blank, being unable to think due to the machine. I stayed like that for a while, no thoughts drifting through my mind, until one suddenly popped into my head. My escape. I tried hard not to sigh, or bite my lip. 

'Face it Chase,' I told myself. 'None of your family members are coming to rescue you, so you'll just have to break out of here yourself'. I agreed with that. Two months here, the least my family could of done was send me a message to inform me that they're planning on my rescue. Now, it's up to me to get myself out of here. It seems like I'm the only person I can trust at the moment.

I decided to think of logical ways to plan my escape. After multiple ideas, I narrowed it down to the three best. 

1. Just run until I find a way outside. 

2. Create a diversion before running.

3. Fight my way out. 

Honestly, they weren't the best ideas in the world, but I'm not in the best thinking condition at the moment. 

The first idea will just leave me lost, so it's not even worth trying. The third idea is just plain stupid, knowing that half of the hall guards are about ten times bigger and stronger than me. So, that leaves me with idea number two. It's pretty ridiculous and almost definitely won't work, but it's the best I've got, and I've just got to get out of here.  I need to get out of this torture house.

After, what felt like, ten minutes, the loud hum of the x-ray machine slowly died. 

I inhaled heavily, only able to take in sharp breaths for the past ten minutes. As I exhaled, I slowly turned my head towards Agents Tess and Gordon. Luckily, this room didn't have a dampener, so my bionics still worked in here. I decided to turn on my bionic hearing, seeing as Agent Tess and Agent Gordon were mumbling to each other quietly in the corner. 

"Gordon" Agent Tess whispered. "We don't have the scientific capability to understand how this chip of his works". 

Gordon nodded slowly, chewing his lip. Finally, he sighed, coming to a conclusion.

"We do have one person who understands" he said slowly. "But I'm not certain he'll be willing to contribute". 

Tess raised an eyebrow. "You're not suggesting we-"

"It's the only way" Gordon told him sternly. 

Tess stayed silent for a while before replying. 

"How do we get him to help us?" He asked. Gordon shrugged. 

"Tell him it's a trade. Information about the bionics and the chip in exchange for his release". 

"But what if he still refuses?" Tess asked uncertainly. Gordon inhaled deeply. 

"We use the family" he decided, exhaling. "No one likes to see bad things happen to their family". 

Tess nodded. "I'll get the station on the phone" Tess said. "But what if he still doesn't open up?"

Gordon looked at me, straight in the eye. I gulped, hoping he didn't realise what I was doing. He just stood there, staring at me for a while, it almost looked like he wasn't breathing. Finally, he broke his gaze from me, and looked down. He turned back to Tess.

"He will" he nodded surely.

Tess bit his lip slightly before nodding. He turned and looked at me for a second, then left without saying another word.
