She-Freak - Chase Davenport

nineteen.

Tuesday, 6th October 2015

Almost two weeks later, the team was eating in the cafeteria when Perry walked in.

- "What's up, meat bots?" Perry walked in and sat at a table with a magazine as she put her feet up.

- "Excuse me." Donald said, irritated, making Terry jump in fear and throw the magazine.

Maddie stopped the magazine from hitting Chase in the face.

- "Thank you." He whispered.

The alien girl smiled softly.

- "What do you think you're doing?" The father asked. "This is the fourth time this week I've caught you blowing off your security rounds."

- "What do you expect? This job is too hard for one person. How am I supposed to patrol the grounds, monitor cybersecurity, and still find time to steal from you?" The head of security asked.

- "Look, you asked me for this job. If you can't handle it, maybe I should find somebody else." The scientist replied.

- "Good luck trying to find someone else who wants a high-paying job on a tropical island." Perry said.

The screen on the wall behind her started going fuzzy.

- "Hey, what's going on with the monitor?" The genius boy got up.

- "Somebody probably hacked our signal because the sheriff wasn't doing her job." Donald pointed at Terry.

They all walked to the screen and Eddy popped up.

- "Hi!" He exclaimed.

- "AAH!" The siblings, simultaneously, screamed as their best friend covered her ears.

- "I've been trying to get in here for months. I had to go through all sorts of firewalls and security blocks." The home system explained. "If I didn't know any better, I'd think you didn't want me here."

- "We don't want you here!" Leo yelled.

- "Well, look who finally got a big-boy voice. Still waiting for the rest of your little-boy body to catch up, huh?" Eddy mocked.

The mentors frowned, amused. The three youngest mentors patted his back.

- "Eddy, you're supposed to be in Mission Creek with Tasha." The father said.

- "Don't worry, she's fine. I triple-locked her in the closet. Even her man-paws can't claw through that." The home system replied. "Speaking of man-paws, how are you, Bree?"

The green hazel-eyed boy snickered.

- "That's it. Where's the hammer?!" Bree launched at him, but the middle brother held her back.

- "I don't know about the hammer, but I'm definitely looking at a room full of tools." Eddy cackled and was joined by Perry.

- "That was a good one." The Matthews girl shrugged.

Later, the three eldest siblings and their best friend walked in the living room, where the father and his youngest son were.

- "Hey, great news, everybody." Chase walked towards them.

- "You scored a goal in your junior soccer league?" Adam smiled.

- "You finally fit into men's pants?" Bree asked.
