♬ 26 - Sink or Swim (Part 1)
After the Lab is blown up by Douglas, Tasha is looking at the elevator.
"Leo? Donald? Can you hear me?" Tasha says knocking on the door until it opens "Ah, finally!" Tasha says "Mom!" Leo hugs her "I was so worried!" Tahsa says "I'm so glad you're okay." Mr Davenport says.
"How did you fix the elevator?" Tasha asks "Well, it was incredibly difficult, but in the face of great adversity...""I shimmied up the shaft and flipped the emergency switch while he cried." Leo interrupts Mr Davenport.
"I coached him. At least my sprinkler system put the fire out before it spread to the rest of the house." Mr Davenport says "What about the lab?" Tasha asks.
They go to the completely destroyed Lab, nothing is left, they look around in disbelief and upset.
"It's worse than I thought." Mr Davenport says "The blast took out everything." Leo says "I can't believe your own brother would do this. He could have killed Leo.." Tasha says looks at her "...and you." Tasha says nodding her head.
"My Mission Specialist desk." Leo looks at the table, destroyed "Okay, this just got real! I'm gonna hurt Douglas where he lives!" Leo thinks and backtracks "As soon as I find out where he lives." Leo says.
"Look at their capsules." Mr Davenport points to the destroyed capsules "There's nothing left." Mr Davenport says "Even Eddy's gone." Leo says "Yes!" Tasha says Mr Davenport and Leo look at her "Yes, he will be missed." Tasha says in a distinctly false tone.
"He was my best friend." Mr Davenport says upset "I thought I was your best friend." Tasha says, Mr Davenport shakes his head "No, it was him." Mr Davenport says.
"What are we gonna do?" Leo asks "There's nothing much we can do. The house isn't even ours anymore." Mr Davenport says "Speaking of which, the bank wants us out. I'll go gather what's left of our stuff." Tasha says.
"All your hard work. Millions of dollars' worth of equipment. Gone." Leo says "All of this stuff can be replaced. Adam, Bree, and Chase can't. We have to find them before Douglas does." Mr Davenport says.
"How? They disabled their GPS signals. They could be anywhere by now." Leo says.
...
Meanwhile in a cargo ship.
Adam, Bree, and Chase come out of hiding behind at stack of crates.
"Well, after the last six hours, I can safely say that there is no lady way to sit on an anchor." Bree says with a pained face.
"What are you complaining about?" Chase says pulling out feathers from his hair "I had a seagull using my head as a nest. " Chase says.
"Where are we headed anyway?" Bree asks "No idea. I can't pinpoint our coordinates without our GPS locators." Chase says "I bet we're going to Acapulco. It's where all the cruise ships go." Adam says.
"Adam, we're not on a cruise ship. It's a cargo freighter" Chase says "Whatever it is, we're on vacation. Okay? I'm making the most out of it." Adam says, Bree crosses her arms "This is not a vacation. We're hiding from the FBI." Bree tells Adam.
"And if they find out about us, we'll become government guinea pigs and Mr. Davenport will go to jail." Chase says, Adam sat on a large pile of ropes and put his sunglasses on "Oh, will you relax? Ah, it's nice to get away every once in a while, isn't it?" Adam says relaxing.
He lifts his glasses up "And where is that waiter?" Adam says, Bree and Chase roll their eyes.

In the living room of the Davenports' house.
McKayla went there to help them pack and empty the house, it's the most she could do to help, and also if Mr Davenport found a way to find Adam, Bree and Chase, she wanted to be one of the first to know.
Tasha and McKayla are coming downstairs with suitcases "Almost ready. Just three more bags." Tasha says "I'll get it!" McKayla says, putting her bags down and running up the stairs again.
"Tasha, we're homeless. Do you really need all these clothes?" Mr Davenport says "These are yours." Tasha frowns, Mr Davenport looks at her embarrassedly, McKayla goes down the stairs with three suitcases and Leo helps her by taking one of the suitcases.
"I cannot believe they're kicking us out. Where are we gonna go?" Leo says "Look, normally I would invite you to stay at my house, but I'm sure you don't want to stay at my house" McKayla laughs nervously "we're bad but not bad enough to share a house with Trent...no offense" Leo says, McKayla raises her hand signaling that she doesn't take offense.
"We appreciate your intention, McKayla, but there is a five star hotel downtown. We can stay there until they can prove my account was hacked." Mr Davenport says"How? You got no money, no credit cards, nothing." Leo says "Well, yeah. I just thought we'd tap into your college fund." Mr Davenport says, Leo looks at him indignantly.
Someone knocks at door and Leo answers it, Perry is there "'Sup, Dooley?" Perry says "Oh no!" Leo tries shutting the door, but Perry pushes it open "Well, I see you did your squats today." Leo says ""That's the power of protein." Perry flexes "I eat three whole chickens a day." Perry says, McKayla frowns.
"Uhhh! Principal Perry, what do you want?" Tasha asks "Money" McKayla rolls her eyes "Nothin' from you, Betty blue." Perry tells Tasha.
"Ugh! Are you here too?" Perry sees McKayla "Yes, but unlike you I'm here because I care about them not their money as a person with dignity" McKayla smiles "Blah Blah Blah" Perry says and walks up to Mr Davenport.
"I just came here to shake down old Donnie for my hush money. Keeping a bionic secret really takes it out of a gal." Perry says "And here I thought you were just winded from walking up the driveway. Look, you know I'm broke." Mr Davenport says.
"Well, then perhaps I'll have to find another way to get my money. Maybe a tell-all book. How one adorable principal saved America from three bionic freaks!" Perry says "While I'm going to do an explanatory podcast about the pathological liar principal who hallucinated about and wrote about bionic freaks!" McKayla says, Perry glares at her.
"Look, I will get you your hush money, but first, we need a place to live. And then we have to find Adam, Bree and Chase." Mr Davenport says "Who?" Perry ask, Read rolls his eyes "The freaks." Leo says, Perry thinks and makes a gesture remembering their height "Oh." Perry says.
"So, you're telling me the sooner you find a place, the sooner I get my money." Perry says "That's right, T.P. You help us out, we help you out. You wash our back, we...Ohhh" Leo cringes "Ahg" McKayla sticks her tongue out slightly in disgust.
"Hmmm. All right, I'm in. You can stay at my place. As long as you don't mind sharing the john with eight cats and the occasional semi-pro bowler" Perry says, Leo's eyes widen slightly and turns to McKayla "so you once said that you have a sofa bed at home huh?" Leo tells McKayla apparently interested, McKayla tilts her head.
Tasha walks up to Perry "What if we stay at the school temporarily? Like when you set up the shelter for people after the big storm last year." Tasha says "Oh! So that's why everyone was bangin' on the door trying to get in!" Perry grins.
"All right, you can stay at the school." Perry says "Oh, good. Well, you wanna help us with our bags?" Mr Davenport asks "My pleasure." Perry picks up a couple bags and walks out with them, then drives away.
McKayla frowns and looks at Tasha in disbelief and Leo confused "We're never gonna see those bags again, are we?" Mr Davenport says in frustration "Nope" McKayla says.

On the cargo ship.
Chase approaches Adam and Bree who are hiding in the middle of the crates "Okay, we're all clear. The crew just went to eat." Chase says "If it's veal shank, I'm giving us up." Adam says "Adam!" Bree says, she shakes her head.
"So, what's our plan?" Bree asks Chase "Well, as soon as we get wherever we're going, I guess we just blend in and live normal lives." Chase says seriously.
"So does this mean we're done with missions forever?" Adam asks "We have to be. Using bionics will only get us caught..." Chase says.
"Man, if I'm not mission leader anymore, I don't know who I am." Chase says upset "Hey, don't worry, Chase." Adam puts his hand on his shoulder "Now that you've left McKayla behind you'll have plenty of girlfriendless years ahead of you to figure it out." Adam says, Chase feels a pang in his heart and a cold sense of emptiness when he hears this.
Chase swallows the bitterness he feels in his mouth, trying not to show what he feels "Yeah, and what are you gonna do besides move pianos and mouth kiss every dog you see?" Chase says irritated "You can't shake their paws! Those things are filthy." Adam says, Chase sighs angrily, even if he explained, neither Adam nor anyone else would understand what he feels.
"We're just gonna have to learn to live like regular people. Kind of sad, isn't it?" Chase says "If by "sad" you mean "awesome, I finally get to move far away from you two," then yes, tragic." Bree says sarcastically.
"You can move wherever you want. We're still gonna have to spend the rest of our lives looking over our shoulders." Chase says frustrated "Don't be ridiculous, Chase. They can attack us from the front too." Adam says.
Rod spools from across them "Hey, look, I got a bite" Adam goes to the rod, he pulls "Aw, she's a fighter!" Adam says "Adam, what are you doing?!" Bree asks "Deep sea fishing. Come on, fishy baby, come to daddy! Yahh!" Adam reels the fish up.
The fish comes flying and hits Chase, who catches it and falls "They're coming. Hide!" Bree says, Adam, Bree hide behind the crates, Chase throws the fish off of him and follows them.
The ship's captain spots the fish "Ahh, poor bugger musta jumped right on board. Ha ha ha! Well, I can't have a fish stinkin' up my ship! Ha ha ha!" He throws the fish into ocean "Be free!" Captain says.

In the school cafeteria.
Perry gets three cots for Leo, Mr Davenport and Tasha, McKayla helps them carry everything to the school cafeteria "Here you go, three cots. Ah, this takes me back to the good ol' days in the prison infirmary." Perry says "You were a nurse?" Leo asks "No, I was in prison." Perry says.
"Okay, you kids settle in. I'm gonna go try and find some less crusty blankets." Perry says "Is there some place we can store our things?" Tasha says "Sure. You can take the gym locker next to mine. You might wanna wear slip-ons in the shower. I got something in between my toes that just won't quit." Perry walks away.
"This was better than my mother's?" Tasha asks Mr Davenport "Yes." Mr Davenport says.
Leo and McKayla walks in, wheeling a computer on a cart "Good news, Big D. We got some of this stuff from the computer lab. Maybe you can use it to track Adam, Bree and Chase's last GPS location." Leo says "Or, judging by its age, the last location of King Tut. Sorry, Leo, I'm just frustrated. Without my stuff, without my lab, this is hopeless." Mr Davenport says.
"I brought my laptop and some things to try to help" McKayla says, Leo puts his hand on her shoulder, she sighs and sits on one of the cots "Come on, Big D, you're a tech titan. You built an empire out of nothing." Leo try to cheer him up "Yeah, but it was so hard." Mr Davenport whimpers and sits down.
"But you did it. And if you put your mind to it, you can do anything. You're brilliant" Leo says "I completely agree, you are invincible by far one of the greatest geniuses I've ever seen in my life" McKayla smiles gently "You know what? You're right. I am handsome. Invincible and brilliant." Mr Davenport rises motivated.
Leo and McKayla look at each other confused "Hold on, We didn't say...""Yes you are, and you really are...kind of cute" McKayla interrupts Leo so he doesn't cut Mr Davenport's mood "I'm back!" Mr Davenport says "yeah!" McKayla smiles, Leo frowns at her, McKayla shrugs but she knows that Mr Davenport is the only one who can bring Adam, Bree and Chase back, plus she was honest.

On the cargo ship.
Adam walks up to Bree and Chase "Guys, we're in luck." Adam says "You found food?" Chase asks "Better." Adam sets a box down "Crate full of boomerangs." Adam opens the box.
"If he should mysteriously disappear at sea, it was me." Bree tells Chase "Time for target practice." Adam throws boomerangs out and uses heat vision to blow them up, but accidentally hits a seagull "Hey well, good news, Chase, you don't have to worry about that seagull anymore." Adam says, Chase galres at him.
"Knock it off. You are making too much noise, and we all agreed we weren't gonna use bionics." Bree says, suddenly a boomerang smashes into ship window "Whoa. It's like that boomerang came right back at us!" Adam says, the ship captain walks outside and spots them.
"Freeze! Call the coast guard. We got ourselves some illegal stowaways." The captain says approaching them "What are we gonna do?" Bree says
"Guys, I got this. Sir, we are not stowaways, we're cruisers. I'm Bob Dunwoody from Tampa, Florida, this is my wife, Joan" Adam hugs Bree "And our lovely daughter, Piper." Adam points to Chase who looks at him irritated "Adam!" Chase says "Not now, Piper, the grown-ups are talking." Adam says and smiles forcefully at the captain.
"Look, I don't know who you are or how you got on my ship, but the coast guard's coming, and they'll find out. Keep an eye on these criminals." The captain goes upstairs.
"So, where you from?" Adam says, Bree pulls Adam aside "Adam, I cannot believe you got us caught." Bree says "When the coast guard gets here, they're gonna trace us back to Davenport and we'll be right back where we started, with the FBI knocking on our door." Chase says
"Calm down. We'll just escape." Adam says "We're in the middle of the ocean. Where are we gonna go?" Bree says "Well, we can't go home. Tampa's miserable this time of year." Adam says.
They hear a buzzer sound "Shh, hold on. Something's wrong." Chase says.
The Captain comes outside "Ah, listen up, men. Coast guard's gonna be a while. There's a submarine that's lost control speeding towards the ocean floor. If it hits, it'll wipe out the entire crew. Poor guys...Well, I gotta go up here and moisturize." The Captain says.
"Okay. That bought us some time. I'll scan the ship to see if there's a life raft we can escape on." Chase says "Forget us. We have to rescue that sub." Bree says "We can't. I'd have to enable my GPS, and if I did, it would give our location to the FBI." Chase says.
"But it's what we do.' Bree says "No, it's what we used to do. Just let the coast guard handle it. We can't save the world anymore." Chase says "Piper, do not take that tone with your mother." Adam shakes his head, Bree crosses his arms and Chase rolls his eyes.

In the school cafeteria.
Leo walks in "Principal Perry was hogging the Internet in her office, so I snuck in, plugged in our wire instead. Turns out she's a day trader for the Japanese stock market." Leo says.
McKayla frowns, she's in one of the cots, head down, Leo looks at her "Are you okay?" Leo asks "Yeah I just..." McKayla scratches the back of her head dejectedly, Leo sighs and sits next to her.
"I miss them too" Leo says calmly, McKayla looks at him "We're going to bring them home...we're going to bring Chase to you don't worry" Leo smirks, McKayla looks at him blushing "what?" McKayla says.
"I'm not blind M.C" Leo says, McKayla sighs shyly "Hey...It's going to be okay" Leo assures her, McKayla presses her lips together, she feels a sense of anguish, feeling like she may have lost something that she didn't enjoy enough while she had it "Thank you Leo" McKayla smiles.
Leo knowing and being another person with whom she can talk about this relieves her, Leo smiles and puts his hand in his pocket where he will keep Chase's letter, but he thinks better about it, and puts the letter back in his pocket.
"That did it. We are now able to pinpoint their precise location when they turned off their GPS." Mr Davenport says on the computer "Yeah, that's great!" McKayla says "Yup, you know, Leo, with my genius and your ability to follow wiring, we make a great team." Mr Davenport tells Leo.
"Where are they Mr Davenport?" McKayla asks "Their last known location was at the port. They must have jumped on a ship." Mr Davenport says
"Wow, that means they could be way out in the middle of the ocean" McKayla says worriedly "It says there were three freighters that left around the same time. They must be on one of them." Leo says.
"Douglas may already have a jump on us." Mr Davenport says "Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, is Douglas your brother and the biological father of Adam and Bree and Chase?" McKayla tries to tune into the story "Yeah, and he doesn't mean a good thing. We have to act fast." Mr Davenport says.
"But even if we know which freighter it is, how are we gonna get to it?" Leo says "I have a secret. I have a helicopter I keep stashed away for special occasions, and nobody knows about it! Ha!" Mr Davenport says excitedly, McKayla raises her eyebrows "I have a secret too. I know. I use it on weekends." Leo says, Mr Davenport glares at him.

On the cargo ship.
Captain walks up to Adam, Bree and Chase "Good news. The coast guard's bringing another ship to arrest you. Well, good for us, bad for you. I guess I shoulda just said, "bad news!" Ha ha ha ha!" The captain says.
"Wait. What about the submarine?" Bree asks "Doesn't look good. It's tough being this close and realizing there's nothing anyone can do to help" The Captain walks away.
"Chase, we have to do something." Bree says "Yeah, we're the only ones who can save 'em." Adam says "You do realize that we would be giving ourselves up. Our lives will be over." Chase says.
"We have no choice. People are in trouble, and I would rather rot in jail knowing that we did the right thing." Bree says "Me too." Adam says, Chase sighs "Who am I kidding? Of course we have to help." Chase gets up.
"Bree, how fast can you subdue the crew?" Chase says "Look who you're talking to. "Fast" is my middle name." Bree says confidently "Lucky. Mine's "Charles"" Adam says.
"Adam, once I give you the coordinates, use your strength to propel yourself deep enough to reach the sub, then you can divert it to the surface." Chase says "Got it. And you can boss people around like you usually do." Adam says.
"I do not boss people around! I lead. I am a leader." Chase says irritated "Oh, yes you are, aren't you?" Adam talks baby talk with Chase who looks at him seriously.
"Come on!" Bree ties up the crew and takes them below deck and comes back "Okay. The crew's tied up below deck. Hurry." Bree says.
"This is it. I'm activating my GPS." Chase activates the GPS and a sonar starts beeping "Got it. Okay, Adam, they're not far, but we're running out of time. I'll send you the coordinates wirelessly." Chase puts his fingers to his temple, Adam gives a ticklish giggle "Ooh. Got 'em." Adam smiles.
"Let's do this." Chase says "Wait. Chase, we've never trained for an underwater rescue mission." Bree says "I know. We're just gonna have to take our chances." Chase says.
"Cannonball!" Adam screams and jumps in water "Whoo!" Adam screams, Bree and Chase run to the side of the ship "And right now I'm not really likin' our chances." Chase says frustrated.

In the cafeteria
Tasha is settling down for bed when McKayla walks in holding a small backpack "Good news, I just called my mom and she said it's okay for me to spend the night here with you until Leo and Mr Davenport came back" McKayla says excitedly.
"Honey, that's really nice of you, but you explained the whole situation for her?" Tasha asks "Not quite, but I just said I was going to a sleepover with a friend" McKayla says "Aw do you consider me a friend?" Tasha says excitedly.
McKayla sits next to Tasha "Obviously, you're amazing. You deserve a lot of recognition for putting up with Mr Davenport" McKayla says, Tasha chuckles "I'm telling you girl, it's not for everyone, you're a warrior" McKayla says.
"Aw McKayla you're such a sweetie" Tasha smiles gently, McKayla tucks her hair behind her ear "Chase is right about everything he says about you" Tasha says, McKayla looks at her.
"wait what?" McKayla says "Oh yeah, he just talks about you all day long, I didn't know it was possible to include someone in so many different topics of conversation but he does it with honors when it comes to you" Tasha combs her hair talking as if McKayla knew this.
"He does?" McKayla asks, Tasha shakes her head "Yeah, you're very important to him. Don't get me wrong I know you're just friends, but if I didn't know any better I'd say he has a huge crush on you" Tasha says, Chase has never told either Tasha or Mr Davenport about his feelings for McKayla, he's afraid they'll interfere in some way, only his sibilings know the truth.
McKayla laughs nervously "No, he hasn't...we're just friends, best friends" McKayla says, she and Chase had moments, but she refuses to see that Chase became close to her like that cuz he have feelings for her, simply because she doesn't want to deceive herself.
And that her and Chase's moments were maybe just Chase trying to mature intimacy and the way he deals with it but not specifically with her, but now listening to it and rethinking about their relationship in recent times, it makes sense.
"I know Honey, and I think your friendship is cute, but I'm sure he would make a great boyfriend" Tasha makes a point of promoting her son, McKayla swallows hard, slowly she begins to realize that Caitlin was right all along.
"Y-yeah maybe" McKayla says nervously, it's a weird feeling. Her fun flirting from the last few months has become something real, and reciprocated from one second to the next in her head, it's a little scary.
"I'm just kidding sweetie" Tahsa says taking her hand when she sees that she made the girl nervous "I know" McKayla says shyly.
"Chase has a crush on me. He really likes me!" This thought repeats in her head in different tones, including sadness that he is far away and the uncertainty of his return, fear, and extreme happiness, anguish and anxiety.
As she adjusts the bed next to Tasha, she keeps thinking about it, and without even knowing it was possible, her feelings for Chase seemed to become stronger, which at that moment made her more tense.

On the cargo ship.
After Adam, Bree and Chase save the submarine, and Adam returns safely to the ship.
"Well, I guess we're back to using our bionics for missions." Bree says "Oh, great. So now it's a working vacation. You just can't unplug anymore. I blame the Internet." Adam says.
"Now it's time for our next mission: finding a life raft and getting off this ship." Chase says, the captain walks in "Don't move!" Hey says.
"I thought you tied them up." Chase tells Bree "Well, I said I could tie fast, not well." Bree says, a helicopter flies and then hovers above the ship.
"It's Mr. Davenport!" Bree says, Donald presses button and lowers rope ladder onto ship "Quick! Climb on!" Mr Davenport says."Later!" Bree super speeds up the ladder into the helicopter.
"Get 'em! Come on men!" The captain says, Adam fights them off with a crowbar, pushes them away, throws a towel into Chase's face, and starts climbing the rope ladder.
"Adam, wait!" Chase says, ladder begins to pull Adam up "You're not goin' anywhere!" The captain tells Chase, he throws towel into his face and runs to the ladder.
Chase begins to climb ladder, the captain runs over and grabs his leg "Adam, help!" Chase shouts "Well, I know you're pathetically weak, but can't you at least try kicking free?" Adam says "Chase kicks the captain and grabs the ladder.
Adam helps Chase in and coughs the ladder off the helicopter, and the captain falls into water "Whoops. Hey, at least a shark broke his fall." Adam says.
━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━
A while later on the ship.
Mr Davenport and Leo search the deck "I don't get it. How can they not be here?" Mr Davenport says.
They see the captain "Hey, we're looking for three kids: two guys and one girl. Have you seen them?" Leo asks 'Course I've seen them. They just got on a chopper..." The captain looks at Donald closely "... with you." He says "With me?" Mr Davenport says confused.
...
In the helicopter.
"It is so good to see you guys." Fake Donald says "Hey, Mr. Davenport, where's Leo?" Chase ask.
"Oh, he's waiting for us at one of my offshore facilities. We're gonna have to hide out there since the FBI is on our tails. Relax, you're safe now." Fake Donald says, Chase nods and relaxes in the back seat of the helicopter with Bree and Adam.
While Donald is revealed to be Douglas, the cybermask turn off and on again.
