Unwell

Chapter 9

Chapter 9.
Bree's POV.
As I slowly came to, I felt someone holding me closely and gently rubbing my shoulder. I opened my eyes only to see Adam.
"Adam? What happened?" I asked.
"Krane and Douglas discovered that we were here, so they locked us in here." Adam said with a sad look on his face.
"Why are you upset?" I asked.
"Douglas took Chase out of here while you were unconscious. Mr. Davenport and I haven't seen him since." Adam replied quietly.
I got angry and stood up, only to fall on the ground immediately.
"Bree! Be careful." Adam shouted.
"Yeah. You're still weak from your fight with Krane." Mr. Davenport explained.
"Fine. But as soon as I am able, I am breaking out of here and saving Chase." I said with a bunch of force in my voice.
Then I saw Douglas coming back in the room, holding a sleeping Chase.
"What did you do with him?!" I demanded.
"Relax. I was just seeing if Donnie was exaggerating about Chase's illness. And since he is not...I'm gonna help you guys get out of here." Douglas said as he put Chase down on the dungeon floor.
"You brought us here in the first place Douglas!" Mr. Davenport yelled as he grabbed Chase and wrapped the blanket around his shoulders again.
"Yeah! Why should we trust you?!" I screamed.
"I brought you here under Krane's orders. He wants to put you guys under the Triton app, to make you part of his army. He said that if I didn't take Chase and Donald from the hospital, he would kill Adam, Bree and Chase on the spot. So in order to keep you guys alive, I did what I had to do." Douglas explained.
"If all of this was to protect us, why did you try and get Chase to join you willingly?" Mr. Davenport asked.
"Chase has always been like me. I figured that if I convinced him to be "evil", he could double cross Krane later. But since he wouldn't hear me out, I decided to let Krane bring him back here." Mu father explained looking at our brother worried.
Mr. Davenport was about to speak when we heard Krane yell Douglas's name.
"I have to go, I'll help you get out later." Douglas said as he left.
"Should we trust him?" I asked.
"He isn't giving us much of a choice, besides, I don't wanna risk your lives because I didn't trust my brother." Mr. Davenport said as Chase started shaking in the blanket.
"Mr. Davenport, give him to me." Adam protested.
Mr. Davenport picked him and handed him to Adam, who started rubbing him gently, but hard enough to create some heat. I saw him putting his hand on Chase forehead and frowning.
"Mr. Davenport, he is getting worse." Adam said as he held him closer to his body.
"I know. I can't do anything to stop him from getting worse. He would probably be better if Douglas hadn't taken him out of the hospital, but he did."
I heard a small groan and saw Chase opening his eyes.
"Adam?" He asked.
"Yeah buddy, it's me." Adam replied with a small smile.
"What happened?" Chase asked quietly.
"Douglas is gonna help us. He doesn't like Krane anymore and he is worried about you." Adam explained.
Chase's eyes widened.
"Adam you can't trust him! He'll kill us!" Chase yelled before erupting into a coughing fit.
Adam started patting him on the back to help him quit coughing.
"Just breath Chase, breath." Mr. Davenport encouraged.
After Chase quit coughing, he started talking again.
"I'm so cold." He said.
"Just try and go back to sleep. Alright? I will make sure Krane does not mess with you while you are asleep." Adam said.
Chase snuggled into Adam and started lightly snoring. Mr. Davenport started drifting off and then fell asleep with his head on my shoulder.
I heard someone walking towards us and noticed it was Douglas.
"Ok, listen. Donnie can use these, and once you break through the wall deep enough, you can dig with your speed and Adam with his strength. The car is out in front, use that to get to the hospital." Douglas explained as he handed us a few shovels.
"Thanks." I said.
"Just save my son." Douglas said before walking off.
I woke up Mr. Davenport and explained what happened. We decided that two of us would dig, and the other would stay with Chase. we would take shifts of course. I had the first shift with Chase. I put my arm around him and he laid on my shoulder. After sleeping on me for a while, he woke up and looked nauseous.
"Douglas!" I screamed.
Douglas ran in the room, opened the dungeon door and handed me a garbage can. I held it over to Chase and he started puking in it. After he finished, Douglas left and Chase started falling on my lap.
"You are just so tired aren't you?" I smiled.
"Yes. Now let me sleep." Chase whined.
I shook my head in amusement and let him go back to sleep. A few minutes later, our father came inside with a small glass of water.
"Don't let Chase get dehydrated." He said as he left again.
I picked up the glass and lifted it to Chase's mouth.
"No. Not thirsty." He muttered.
"Chase. Drink this please." I begged.
"I'll just puke it up." He said.
"Chase. Just a little bit, then I'll let you sleep, alright?" I asked.
"Fine." Chase grumbled.
I lifted the glass to Chase's lips and I watched as he swallowed some of the water, before pushing the glass away.
"Ok cranky pants, go back to sleep." I teased as I smiled.
I felt Chase snuggle into me. I heard his light snores and felt a tear coming down from my face. It was shareholders to see him suffering like that.
If only Adam and Mr. Davenport would hurry with the escape tunnel.
