The One Where They Missed the Mission

Third Person POV:

Delta and Zadie were waiting in the lab when the three returned from their mission.

"Great work," Davenport said proudly. "Flawless execution. Now that is how you lead a mission."

"Why, thank you," Chase stood straight.

"I was talking about me."

Zadie leaned into Delta. "Of course he was."

"But every Olympic podium still needs a bronze and silver," Davenport shrugged.

"Woo-hoo! I medaled!" Adam cheered.

Out of excitement, he slapped Davenport on the back, sending him flying into the wall.

Bree sighed.

"Don't look at us. You're the one who gave super strength to a box of rocks."

The lab doors opened again.

"Hey, guys," Leo walked in. "How'd the mission go?"

"Great!" Bree said. "We fixed the Pentagon's communication system and put it back in orbit."

Chase nodded proudly.

"We even rigged it so we get every TV channel in the world," he smiled. "Who wants to watch Guatemalan drag racing?"

Zadie shrugged.

"Sounds interesting. I wonder how it compares to Chilean drag racing."

Delta looked over at her.

Zadie noticed, giving her an answer to an unasked question.

"What? When we were living on base, that's all we got," She said, crossing her arms. "Well, that or a live feed of Easter Island."

Leo ignored her.

"So..." He looked at Davenport. "Did my suggestions come in handy on the mission?"

Davenport's eyes went wide.

"What suggestions?" Chase questioned.

"I did a ton of strategic research and gave it to Big D."

"Oh, right," Davenport nodded. "I'm sorry Leo, I didn't have time to use it."

Adam laughed.

"Yes, you did. You spilled your coffee and used Leo's research to mop it up."

Davenport shot Adam a look.

Leo slowly looked back at Davenport.

"You used my suggestions as a sponge?"

"More like a paper towel..." He shrugged, "But it was very absorbent!"

Zadie bit the inside of her cheek, trying not to laugh.

Davenport hinted for the rest of us to leave him and Leo to talk.

"Why don't you guys go clear out the rest of your gear?"

-Mission Creek High-

The next morning at school, the group was making their way down the school's front stair case.

"Hold it!"

Principal Perry's voice came through loud and clear on her megaphone.

"You three missed school yesterday," she stated. "Not that I didn't enjoy it, but it's been happening way too much lately."

She waved her stack of papers.

"Look at this attendance report."

Chase glanced at it.
