[A/N: Eek! Last chapter! :)]

"I'm a little slow," Adam says, gesturing to his head as Mr. Davenport closes the door. "What just happened?"

"Well, Gwen," Chase smiles at me, and I can't resists the urge to smile back. "Just executed her brilliant plan."

"Well," I say jokingly. "It wasn't that brilliant. But, keep the praise coming." Marcus laughs as he looks over at Adam.

"We called the police and explained what Douglas had been doing." Leo nods.

"Yeah, and since we couldn't use much of the proof because it was all tied to Adam, Bree and Chase's bionics, we had to twist the truth a teeny bit."

"Right," Bree says, nodding to Leo. "We told the police that it was a drug that he created called the 'Triton App' that messes with people's minds. It was more of a new kind of drug, more digital."

"So," Mr. Davenport explains. "We got the police to hide and we tricked my brother into admitting to his crimes."

"Exactly." I conclude. "Which is why he won't be bothering us any more."

The elevator doors open to the underground lab, which Mr. Davenport plans to use as a separate part of the main lab. I had been painting the room when Chase enters, carrying another bucket of paint and a few extra paintbrushes.

"Need a hand?" He asks, setting the can on the floor. I smile.

"I have a feeling you won't take 'no' for an answer."

"Right." I roll my eyes at him as he joins me in painting the walls. At first, Mr. Davenport wanted to put up a custom-made wallpaper designed by himself. Basically, it's a never ending collage of him. Of course, everyone went against that. So, we're painting it a metallic silver.

"That was a great plan, Gwen." He remarks, creating long stokes against the wall. It used to be painted a faded orange colour. I guess Douglas wanted to decorate.

"Thanks. That means a lot coming from the smartest living being on the planet." He shrugs.

"Well, that is true." We laugh as we continue to paint the wall.

"You'd think," I say. "That Mr. Davenport would have some kind of fancy robot to do this kind of work."

"Sometimes it feels like he only invents the useless stuff. Sometimes. For instance, once he created this robotic arm that could paint."

"Really?" I ask, drawing a big smiley face one the wall. "Why would you get a robot when you can create beautiful prices of art like this?!" I exclaim, throwing my my arms up in success.

Chase clears his throat and I start laughing. I had accidentally painted a smear of silver paint across his face.

"Sorry," I say, biting my lower lip awkwardly.

"You'll pay for that!" He calls, slashing with the paintbrush across my stomach. I smile as we practically start painting each other.

Soon enough, we're running around the room, teasing each other and fighting with paint. I run in front of the elevator doors.

"Now your really going to get it!" He calls, picking up the half-full paint can.

"No!" I laugh. "Don't!" I duck just in time when I hear a collective gasp. I turn around see that Chase has dumped his paint on Bree and Adam, who must've just walked in. She glares, picking up a roller dripping with paint.

"I'll kill you, Chase!" She yells. Of course he can't outrun her since she's the fastest living being alive. Chase is really getting it handed to him!

"Hey guys!" Leo and Marcus walk into the new Lab.

"Mr. Davenport sent us to help."

"Yeah," Marcus adds. "So...un, what's going on-?" They gasp as I smear paint across they're mouths.

"Don't talk! Just fight!" I laugh, handing them two dipped paintbrushes.

I feel a cold substance being placed on my neck, and I realize that it's still paint.

"Adam!" I gasp dramatically. "You've turned on me!"

"Yep!" He grins. "And so has this paint can." I roll my eyes, laughing and saying dramatically,

"First, all the boys chased me. Now, they're throwing paint on me!"

"Hold still he yells!" Again, I evade. I only have a little paint on me, but that's not what matters.

Tasha stands there with a shocked expression. But, Mr. Davenport has a very angry expression. He gives us an intense, cold stare. Expression translation:

'YOU ARE ALL GROUNDED FOREVER!' Adam yelps.

"Chase did it!" He tosses Chase the can and runs upstairs. Nice Adam. Chase looks at the can and back to a fuming Tasha and Mr. Davenport.

"Uh, whoops?" He says weakly.

••••

It's been crazy, this whole Douglas thing. So many great things have come out of it, following the bad. Sometimes I fear that if I go to sleep, I'll wake up to realize that it's all been a dream; which would be a nightmare. Slowly, I close my eyes, waiting for sleep.

••••

"Gwen, GWEN! WAKE-UP!" Chase and Marcus stand in front of me, roughly shaking me.

"Thank God your still here!" Bree, Leo and Adam run im.

"Is she-?" She asks. She then breathes a sigh of relief.

"What's going on?" I ask tiredly, rubbing my eyes.

"Gwen, Tasha and Mr. Davenport are gone." I frown, puzzled at they're reason.

"They'll be back soon-"

"No," Marcus cuts me off. "Every adult on Earth has disappeared."

[A/N: *evil laugh*. OOH, CLIFFHANGER! Looks like you all have to wait until the next book. When will it come out? Looks like you'll have to FOLLOW me to find out!!!!! ;)

Nah, just kidding. I mean, I would love a follow. Because, admitting and shamefully, there is a huge difference in numbers between who I'm following and who's following me. Well, I'll be putting up my new book Snow Queen (which I have been modestly mentioning in I think around five chapters.) between tonight and tomorrow night. When I'm finished that book, that's when I'll be starting the sequel to this one. I assume it will take me around three months to finish Snow Queen. The name of the sequel to this book will be coming out in the next part, A.K.A: the acknowledgements. Well, hoping that you'll ready my new book and hoping you'll read the sequel! Now for a chorus from one of my favourite songs:

"I can see the light,

I have flown away,

I have come alive,

I am blown away,

I have found the love,

I can see the truth,

Now that I found you, now that I found you,

I can live my life,

I believe in faith,

I have found myself,

I have lost the hate,

I have found the love,

I can see the truth,

Now that I found you, now that I found you, yeah,"

-Britney Spears, Now That I Found You

LOVE that song! I would post it from YouTube, but I have NO idea how to do that, so, yep! I guess that's it.

I only have one more thing to say:

THE 90's, 80's, 70's, and 60's are not HORRIBLE AND UN-EVOLVED! The music is great, they actually had technology! In fact, my favourite show is from the 60's. Ok, just wanted to say that! To a specific person who shall remain nameless. Have a nice day and thanks so much for reading!!!!!xinifinity]
