Change My Life

Chapter 5: The Note

Adam's P.O.V.

For the past 12 hours, I have been looking for Bree. I am really worried about my little sister, but Mr. Davenport is making us come back to the lab. He says he has a plan, but I don't believe him. As I enter the lab, I realize that Chase is already here. Him, Mr. Davenport and Leo are looking over a screen, so no one has noticed me yet.

"Her heart rate is dropping fast. If we don't find her, she will be dead in a matter of hours." Davenport says, obviously talking to Chase. Now, he's opening up our chip tracker, I think. Then he says, "Chase... Why did you stay in the same place for two and a half hours?"

"What? I never did that?" Chase bursts out and they start arguing. Staring at the two of them, I notice something in Chase's pocket.

"What's that?" I say, surprising them all. I quickly reach in his pocket and pull out... a piece of paper.

Chase's P.O.V.

"Give me that!" I say, recovering from my confusion, and grabbing the paper from his hand. On it, is a note written with shaky hands, making the writing messy. Using my bionics makes it easier to read and I reread it out loud for the others. It says:

Dear Chase,
I hope Spike didn't destroy this letter. He is the one who took me. He took my chip. I'm going to die. I love you, and, though I call you nerdy, you're pretty cool. Adam and Leo, you are goofs. Don't change. Dad, you are the best. I love you all. Goodbye,
~Bree.

Crud. I am the reason Bree is gone.

"That explains everything." Davenport says, "Now we have to go, now!"

"You're going?" Leo asks.

"I have to be the one to put Bree's chip back in." Davenport replies quickly, setting the coordinates on the teleporter.

"Come on Adam." I say, stepping towards the teleporter as it turns on. Adam runs into the beams, followed by Davenport. I enter last, giving a small wave to Leo.

"Please save her." Are the last words I hear before I disappear.

And I will, at all costs.
