Code 47 to BREV Force Cracko

Chapter 45

CHAPTER 45

Evie and Brad had finally gotten some sleep and when they woke the next morning, they were both ready to put their personal lives aside and implement some of the new ways they had planned to defeat Controller. As agreed, they dropped Brian off a few blocks from the school campus. It was decided they would do this to avoid any questions, just in case they ran into someone they knew. Brian was going to be closer to them while they were on campus, just in case Controller showed.

Brad pulled into the parking lot and Evie spotted Sheila getting out of her car. "Hurry up and park, Brad," she urged, "I want to catch up with Sheila." Impatient, Evie jumped out of the car even before Brad had come to a complete stop.

She ran after Sheila, who'd disappeared into the building. Brad yelled to Evie, who didn't respond. She was too excited about putting this part of their plan into motion. Evie increased her pace but she kept herself in check to make sure she walked at a rate for Evie not a member of The BREV Force. She followed Sheila into the science building.

The halls were buzzing with talk about the events at Compustock Mall, the day before. Everyone was talking about The BREV Force. Evie saw Sheila heading for her locker. Her emotions were flying high.

She realized she was almost out of breath as she told herself, Get a hold! You know strong emotions hamper your abilities. Forget about her relationship with Rick and just go do the job.

Evie approached her, "Hi, Sheila, hear all the gab about The BREV Force? Pretty impressive, huh?"

Evie saw Sheila's facial expressions harden as she kept pushing. "It seems Controller has finally met a true challenger, so you'll be out of a job..., real soon!" Annoyed, Sheila slammed her locker closed as she pushed past Evie. "That just goes to show how little you know, Kane. There's no match for Controller. He'll whip the asses off those two jerks in pajamas." She stopped and turned to glare at Evie. "They just got lucky their first time out of the box. Controller was caught off guard but he's the ultimate. No one can beat him. Now that he knows about those little creeps, they'll be history. Just you wait and see."

Sheila started down the hall; stopped in her tracks and turned for another round. "I'll bet that, whatever Force, you call them, doesn't have the guts to show up again." Sheila's eyes fired with rage as she held her ground.

"Come on Sheila, admit it," Evie pressed, "they blew Controller away in one easy try. If I were you, I'd warn Controller to be smart and stay away. Tell it to stay safe within the confines of its electric circuitry, forever."

Evie walked right passed Sheila nonchalantly but then changed her mind and turned back. "Oh, and by the way, Sheila, it sure seemed like Rick was impressed with The BREV Force. After all he was the one who cheered their victory! Wasn't he?" Evie continued walking to class, "Looks like you're definitely on the wrong side!" Evie could hear Sheila's screams, following her down the hall!

Evie reached her lab class with Sheila storming in after her. Evie slipped into her seat and scrunched down, pretending to study.

Mr. Stonehouse, the instructor, pointed to Sheila, "I will not tolerate your tirades in this classroom, young lady, so either take your seat, or take it outside." Stonehouse turned his back and resumed dictating lesson information that was posted on the holographic screen.

Sheila took the opportunity to slink to the back of the room. She sat down at one of the computer stations and taking advantage of being unobserved, carefully logged into the computer system to summon Controller. Within an instant, Cracko appeared on the screen with instructions, "<Print screen, Cracko>". Sheila followed the directions and Cracko appeared life size and headed toward the front of the room. The students started to move out of its way. Mr. Stonehouse, still with his back to the class, heard the sudden disturbance and asked as he turned to see what was going on. "Who's making all that noise?" "Hey man! Chill out! You are just tooooo uptight," Cracko laughed in response. Let me give you something, to cool you and this class down."
