Capítulo XVI- Una Trampa
Douglas, Leo, and Patience sprinted into their high school. Falling down the lab's storage compartments was something she wouldn't recommend. Her butt ached from landing on it after barely any warning from Leo.
They stopped to catch their breath in the middle of the main hallway. Douglas stated, "We'll hide here till we figure out our next move."
"You know things are bad if school is my safe place," Leo motioned around him.
Patience nodded her head agreeing. She drifted to the circular bench to rest, but clattering caught her attention. She averted her gaze to Perry searching through Bree's locker. "Principal Perry?"
Perry instantaneously held her hands up in surrender and slammed them against her locker. She parted her feet as if someone was going to check her for a weapon. Realizing it was only her two students and Douglas, she peeled herself off and shut Bree's locker.
"Why are you looking through Bree's locker?" Patience asked.
"Certainly not stealing stuff to sell at my bionic souvenir shop. Ooh, I see you brought the one family member who doesn't disgust me." She pushed Leo and Patience aside and curtsied in front of Douglas, "Hello."
Douglas placed his hand out before she could get closer. "Principal Perry, we need your help."
"Please, call me Terry. It's easy to remember because it rhymes with marry," she put up her hand, fiddling her fingers.
"Yeah. If it's okay, I'd still like to call you principal because it rhymes with... I have a girlfriend."
Patience pursed her lips at Douglas and Perry. Leo interjected, "Special agents took over the house and have Adam, Bree, and Chase in custody."
"Put a sock in it! Mama's trying to get her groove back!" Principal Perry snapped.
"It's true. For all we know, they're being grilled by the feds," Douglas confirmed.
"No, no, no. If the feds find out I was in on this, I'm cooked. Well, I guess there's only one thing left to do." Perry withdrew her phone from her pocket, "Trade you three for my freedom."
Patience snatched Perry's phone out of her hand, "I'm sorry, but I have to." She hid behind Douglas.
"Why are you hiding behind me?"
"Because she wouldn't lay a scratch on you."
Douglas sighed, taking the phone from Patience. He positioned his hands out in front of Perry. "You're our only friend right now."
"Well, who can say no to a man with such hairy knuckles?" Perry grasped her phone and rubbed Douglas's hand against her cheek.
Leo and Patience grimaced. He stepped forward, "We don't think the bionic video was an accident." Leo showed Perry the photo of the girl on his phone. "This is the girl who did it. Have you seen her?"
