Chapter 10

Chapter 10.
Adam's POV.
As Bree and I switched off with Chase and the tunnel, I held him tightly. There was no way I was going to lose him because of a fever. He was my little brother after all. I watched as his eyes slowly opened and he looked up at me.
"Hey Chasey." I smiled.
"How long till we reached the end?" He asked.
"I have no idea." I admitted as I gently put my hand on his forehead and frowned.
"I know it's bad." Chase said.
"What?" I asked.
"My fever. I know it's bad." He repeated.
"Look Chase, you really need to get some rest,alright?" I reasoned.
"Adam! I was asleep minutes ago!" Chase whined.
"I don't care. You need rest. Here, you can even use me as a pillow." I said as I stretched out on the ground.
"That's cruel and unusual punishment." He complained.
"Not if I want you to do it." I reasoned.
"Well played Adam, well played." Chase surrendered as he laid down on top of me.
"But we aren't even playing anything." I said.
Chase laughed a bit and then I heard light snores coming from him. Mr. Davenport looked over at us and came over.
"How is he?" Mr. Davenport asked as he put his hand on Chase's forehead and cheek.
"Worse." I replied.
"Did you get him to drink anything?" Mr. Davenport asked.
"I completely forgot." I admitted.
"Adam, the last thing he needs is to get dehydrated, the next time he wakes up, make sure you give him some water, alright?" He asked.
"Ok, get back to digging so we can help him sooner." I yelled.
Mr. Davenport got back to work. Meanwhile, Chase started gagging in his sleep. I immediately sat up and held the trashcan under him. Then he started puking.
"Adam! Is he ok?!" I heard Bree scream.
"He's puking in his sleep, I don't think that's good." I said while rubbing his back.
I saw his eyes start opening while he was still vomiting.
"Hey, your gonna be alright. Just breath." I soothed while still rubbing his back.
He finally quit a few minutes later, and laid back down on me. I picked up the glass before I forgot again and held it up to his mouth.
"Adam, I'll just puke again if I drink that!" Chase whined as he pushed the glass away.
"Do you wanna get dehydrated or do you wanna start getting better? I suggest you drink the water." I explained as I held up the glass again.
"Fine." He groaned in surrender as he drank a little bit before he pushed away my hand.
I put the glass down and ruffled his hair.
"Get some sleep." I whispered in his ear.
He started quietly snoring and snuggled up to me in his sleep. I held him tightly and started drifting off myself. I slowly faded into darkness. Two seconds later, I felt someone shaking my shoulder. I opened my eyes and saw Mr. Davenport.
"Hey." I said.
"We are almost done with the tunnel, we need you to get the big pieces blocking the exit." Mr. Davenport explained.
I tried to sit up, then I remembered that Chase was on top of me.
"Um, a little help?" I asked.
My uncle gently pulled Chase off of me and I stretched out a bit. I went over to Bree to finish up digging the tunnel. After I got the huge rock out of the way, I saw a ray of sunlight. Bree and I started digging furiously until we had finally had a nice sized exit. I ran back through the tunnel to get Mr. Davenport and Chase. Mr. Davenport got up and I picked my brother up . We walked to the car and we saw the helicopter that Douglas had stolen in the garage.
"Since it is ours, let's use it. It's probably better if we get out of Mission Creek anyway. That way Krane can't find us." Mr. Davenport explained.
We climbed into the helicopter and I put Chase on the ground. Bree sat to the front with Mr. Davenport and I stayed in the back with Chase. When I got him settled and we lifted off, Bree started talking to break the weird silence.
"What about Tasha and Leo?" Bree asked.
"We'll get them on the way." Mr. Davenport said.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"To my largest and most sophisticated research facility. It is more like a town then one building. That is also where the doctor who knows about your bionics, so he should be able to help Chase." Mr. Davenport explained.
"But Chase doesn't have his chip." Bree protested.
"Another reason we are stopping at the house. We need to get his chip. And we should probably get some clothes and essentials." Mr. Davenport explained.
"Like my pudding!" I exclaimed.
"There is plenty of pudding at the research facility, don't worry Adam."
"Good. I thought that there would be world war pudding." I said in relief.
Bree laughed and smiled.
The helicopter landed a few seconds later and we ran in the house.
"Get everything we need and get back." Mr. Davenport ordered as I picked Chase up .
No way was I leaving him in a helicopter, all alone, while Krane could be on our tail as we speak. I set him down on the couch and I saw my family scrambling to grab stuff. Once Bree finished, she came down to keep a eye on Chase so I could grab my stuff.
Bree's POV.
I grabbed the thermometer and put it in Chase's mouth, I was hoping that it wasn't a super high temperature, but I also knew that it probably was. It beeped and I pulled it out, 103.7. I let out a small scream, he could die from his temperature being so high. I grabbed a washcloth, got it wet and put it on his forehead. He groaned a bit in his sleep, but he didn't wake up. Adam came downstairs with a few bags and put them in the helicopter. He saw Chase and sighed.
"How is he?" Adam asked.
"His temperature is 103.7." I said sadly.
"Bree! That could kill him!" Adam yelled.
"Why are you acting like I caused this?!" I demanded as I stood up.
"It was probably from one of your boyfriends! That was what got me and you sick last time!" Adam yelled.
"For the record, I am single right now! And I don't think that they would come to school if they were sick!" I fired back.
"That's what you thought right before Owen came down with strep throat and gave it to me and you!" Adam yelled.
Then Mr. Davenport came in the room with his and Chase's suitcases.
"You two, stop arguing , we have to get out of here." Mr. Davenport said.
Adam picked up Chase and set him down in the helicopter. Mr. Davenport grabbed the chip extractor and put Chase's chip back in, then Tasha and Leo climbed in. Leo in the front with Davenport and Tasha, Adam and I were in the back with Chase. The helicopter lifted off and we started going to the research facility.
