✪ Episode 19| The Sacrifice
Bree is at the police station undercover, Chase, Harper, Adam and Kaz are at the command center at Mighty Force headquarters watching everything.
Bree and Matt are at his desk investigating a crime.
"Is this the guy you let escape?" Bree says pointing to the monitor "I didn't let him escape, the other guys on the team make me lose him, but if I had went alone..." Matt says, Bree raises her eyebrow at him.
"Okay, I let him escape but that was the first time that happened" Matt says "Don't lie to me Matt I read your records" Bree smirk "So you are fully aware that I work very well alone" Matt says.
"I work very well alone" Kaz mocks, Harper turns to him "Dude, are you sure you want to see this?" Harper says.
"I won't have a clear conscience anyway, so I better stay here" Kaz says "Can I ask what you're so worried about?" Adam says, Kaz presses his lips together.
"Yeah, Kaz, tell him why you're so worried?" Harper smirk teasing him "Honestly, I didn't get it either" Chase says, Kaz scratches the back of his head.
"Why aren't you worried?...she's out there taking risks and...you see there are so many issues to worry about that I don't even know how to name" Kaz says "It makes sense" Adam says, Kaz sighs, Harper watches for a while and returns to the monitor.
"Okay, so you insist that you're good at working alone and all, but you're the one who called me here, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you called me here because you want my help cleaning up your mess" Bree says "You got me" Matt says.
"It's not going to happen" Bree says leaving "Yess!" Kaz says "wait a minute, Jasmin, wait!" Matt says walking over to her.
"Yes I want your help, I hate to admit it but I need to evolve at some point" Matt says "Outsmart him, you can't get involved" Chase says "but it won't be with me I have a lot of work" Bree says.
"You are the most disciplined person in this police station besides the Delegate, it will be much easier if you help me with this case" Matt says.
Bree looks him in the eyes "You can't, you need to focus completely on our mission" Chase says "I already told you I'm busy" Bree says "come on Jass!" Matt smiles.
"Aw look at his smile, hard to say no to that, right Kaz?" Harper says, Kaz glares at her.
"The guy is insistent" Adam says "and you don't think that's the least bit suspicious!?" Kaz says "No because I think I know clearly what's going on" Harper says.
"Bree, stall him, say you'll think about it" Chase says "I'll think about it" Bree says, Matt smiles "Thanks Jass...is it okay if I call you that?" Matt asks "Oh sure" Bree smiles.
"Cool...uh look, I was thinking..." "Is the delegate in a meeting?" Bree interrupts him when she notices the Delegate's door closed, normally she doesn't close the door.
"Yeah, when she closes the door it's because she's dealing with super confidential matters" Matt says "with who?" Bree says "I don't know, when I arrived the door was already closed" Matt says.
"oh this guy is useless" Kaz says "No no he's great eye candy for certain people" Harper says, Kaz rolls his eyes "yeah!" Chase says, Harper, Adam and Kaz look at him confused.
"Uh...I meant he's not useless...bad timing" Chase says nervously, Harper chuckles.
"Do you think it has something to do with the super human/bionic case?" Bree asks "Probably, it's the most important case we have" Matt says, Bree pays attention to the door.
"So, Jass, I wanted to ask...Robin and I are going to the bar after work, wouldn't you happen to want to join us?" Matt asks "Get lost, dork, she's married!!" Kaz shouts into the microphone, Bree tilts her head slightly with a smile trying to hide the pain in her ear when she hears his scream.
"Sorry, I can't, my husband and I are having dinner together tonight" Bree says "Oh sure, I understand" Matt puts his hands in his pockets.
Robin opens the office door "it will be a pleasure to work with you..." Robin leaves talking to someone "The pleasure is all mine Delegate Jhonson" Bram leaves the room right behind her.
Bree widens her eyes in fright "Guys" Bree whispers.
"shit!" Chase says looking at the monitor "what's he doing here?" Harper ask "I have a bad feeling" Adam says.
Bram and Robin shake hands, Bree hides by going to a file drawer as Bram and Robin walk past her, Bree follows them with her eyes to the police station door in fright.
◆ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ❴✪❵ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ◆
When Robin returns to the police station, she calls Matt and Bree to her office.
"that's it, Jasmin cover it's over, Bree was great while it lasted good luck in jail" Adam says, Chase hits Adam's arm.
"oh yeah, but don't worry we'll get you out of there" Adam says "Adam, shut up!" Harper says, Bree rolls her eyes.
Robin closes the door "So the Secretary of State? Are we that important?" Matt crosses his arms and leans on the table "Yeah" Robin smiles proudly.
"what did he want?" Bree ask "He wanted to see the new information about the case of bionic criminals and super humans" Robin says.
"What did you give him?" Bree says "Everything we have, and he agrees that Donald Davenport is the biggest suspect, and he's going to take action against it" Robin says.
"what? He can't, he doesn't have any proof!" Bree raises the tone "Bree, keep it low or you'll compromise your cover, don't get emotionally involved" Chase says, Bree walks away and sits down.
"what exactly is he going to do with this information?" Bree asks more calmly "As you said, they don't have concrete evidence that he is really behind this, but because he is a suspect he will be under custody, which means that Davenport Industries will be under custody until further notice..." Robin says.
"they will investigate how the company is flowing, money transactions, hiring employees, the equipment in development and the equipment used by the Elite Force, everything..." Robin says "Okay basically they're going to take over the guy's company and everything in it" Matt says.
"yeah, until he proves himself innocent" Robin says "What if he's innocent?" Bree asks "even if he is, I find it difficult that he doesn't have any information about superhumans" Robin says, Bree nods.
"He wants our police troops to join his FBI agents on this case" Robin says "we'll work with the FBI guys?" Matt smiles "yes, this is the opportunity we've been waiting for, don't screw it up!" Robin says, Matt and Bree nod.
"this afternoon an FBI agent will have a meeting with Davenport, she will explain the situation and order him to take all the equipment from that Mission Command to government facility so they can maintain control of the activities of the Elite Force and Davenport Industries" Robin says.
"what if he refuses?" Bree says "Life in prison" Robin smirk, Bree presses her lips together, making a forced smile.
Adam looks at Chase "we have to tell Mr Davenport" Adam says "what can he do?" Harper says "Run away?" Kaz says.
"He can't, even if he escapes Bram can't have access to Mission Command and Davenport Industries technology, he can't have all this information in full" Chase says "If he puts everything into custody he's going to have this information anyway, Mr Davenport is cornered" Harper says.
"So you're saying he's completely lost control of Davenport Industries too?" Adam says "he has no choice, it's either that or he goes to jail, he can't do anything he is now a suspect" Harper says.
Chase closes his eyes and runs a hand through his hair, Kaz shakes his head "wow, first they take the control of the academy, then the Mission Command equipment, then Elite Force and Davenport Industries" Kaz says "What's left?" Chase thinks.
"Nothing, the goal is to either put Mr Davenport in jail or corner him enough for him to turn us in if they can't find us first" Harper says "We can't do anything" Adam says.
"No, no, Mr Davenport will find a way... won't he?" Kaz asks, Harper looks at Chase who seems distant in his own thoughts.
"Are you okay?" Harper puts her hand on his leg, he looks at her "Yeah.. Mr Davenport will fix it" Chase says he caresses Harper's hand a little before getting up and going out to take a sip of water.
Harper, Adam and Kaz watch the monitors thoughtfully.

Mr Davenport is in his Mission Creek mansion when someone knocks on the door.
Mr Davenport goes to the door and opens it revealing an FBI agent, he sighs "I can't remember the last time I opened a door and the FBI wasn't there" Mr Davenport says to himself.
"Hello again Mr Davenport" the agent says "Agent Reed, the last time you were here you wanted to arrest all 40 bionic soldiers that I sheltered into my house...how time flies" Mr Davenport says.
"Time flies but it doesn't change I can see" Reed says entering the house "Uh excuse me?" Mr Davenport says "Davenport, you are being accused of protecting and harboring superhumans and bionic criminals" Reed says.
"What? How I could give them shelter?" Mr Davenport says "you tell me, do you have access to several resources, you can easily give them protection, weapons and shelter away from the eyes of authorities, in addition to the fact that certain accusations claim that you could be part of the organization of movements and rebellions" Reed says.
"This is absurd, I haven't had any involvement with them for a year, I don't even know if they're alive" Mr Davenport says "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do other than warn you that you and the Davenport industries are in custody" Reed says, Mr Davenport makes a surprised face.
"I'm innocent" Mr Davenport "prove it starting by taking all Mission Command equipment to a government facility as quickly as possible, and sending Davenport Industries passwords and access codes to our FBI headquarters" Reed says.
"you can't do that, I'm not to blame for anything that happened, I'm just the father of those kids, nothing more" Mr Davenport says.
"Do you want to see your children again?" Reed says "Yes, more than anything!" Mr Davenport says "so do what they ask for, better to see your children behind a prison bar, than for you to be behind one completely alone" Reed says.
Mr Davenport takes a deep breath, her every word was like a punch in the stomach for him.
"you have until tomorrow, otherwise you're under arrest Mr Davenport" Reed says "I have the right to a lawyer or something" Mr Davenport says "I wouldn't risk it" Reed says, Mr Davenport sighs.
"It's nothing personal Donald" Reed says she pats him on the shoulder and leaves.
"I'll see you tomorrow" Reed closes the door, Mr Davenport puts his hands on his face and takes a deep breath.
◆ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ❴✪❵ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ◆
Later Tasha and Naomi arrive home.
"Hey Honey, we're back!" Tasha says with Naomi on her arms, she puts the little girl on the floor and the bag on the couch.
"Hi" Mr Davenport says filling the sixth glass of wine, with a downcast look.
"Donald, what happened?" Tasha asks, Mr Davenport puts his hand on his forehead, leaning on the table looking at Tasha.
"Naomi, baby, why don't you go play in your room huh...mommy and daddy need to talk" Tasha says, Naomi takes her doll and runs to her room.
Tasha puts her hand on her hip, Mr Davenport looks at her trying to hold back the tears "Donald stop drinking, you get too emotional when you drink" Tasha takes the bottle of wine and puts it aside next to the glass.
"It's over, I lost everything Tasha" Mr Davenport says, Tasha frowns "everything, my children, my brother, the academy, Elite Force and now...my company" Mr Davenport says a tear runs down his face.
"What do you mean?" Tasha asked worriedly "An FBI agent came to our house today, and told me that I and Davenport Industries are in custody, and that all Mission Command equipment should go to an government facility, I lost control of everything!" Mr Davenport says scared, standing up.
"Honey" Tasha says in disbelief "I'm on the brink of going to jail, I can't move a finger anymore, cuz if i do i'm going to jail! And I can't do anything!....And worst...a strand of white hair appeared in my hair today!!!" Mr Davenport sits on the couch, freaking out.
"You can do something about it" Tasha goes to him "yes, I already cut it but I know others will grow" Mr Davenport whines, Tasha rolls her eyes.
"Remember what I told you a while ago?" Tasha sits next to him "To stop acting like they're stronger than us... Cuz they're not!" Mr Davenport says.
"yeah, so you can do something to solve this" Tasha says, Mr Davenport sighs "I can, but I'll end up in prison
... it's not worth it, I'll lose you and Naomi, Leo and the team, the only things I have left" Mr Davenport says, Tasha thinks.
"I know, but if you think about it, Chase, Harper and Adam weren't that different from you when they stole the chips, and they didn't go to prison, they're together and safe now" Tasha says, Mr Davenport look at her.
"what do you mean?" Mr Davenport says "there is still a way out" Tasha holds his hand, Mr Davenport shakes his head.
"Donald, I've been thinking about this a lot...maybe I have a plan" Tasha says "I think I know what your plan is, I've been thinking about it too" Mr Davenport says, Tasha agrees.
"Are you and Naomi going to be okay?" Mr Davenport says, Tasha smiles "Yes, do you trust me?" Tasha says "You are the person I trust most in this world, honey" Mr Davenport holds her face.
"If there's anyone I trust with all of this other than myself, it's you" Mr Davenport says, a tear runs down Tasha's face and he wipes it away with his thumb.
"I love you" Tasha says worriedly "I love you so much!" Mr Davenport says and hugs Tasha, she sighs in his arms.
Naomi sees them in the living room and runs to hug Mr Davenport "I love you too my little girl" Mr Davenport hugs Naomi and Tasha.
◆ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ❴✪❵ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ◆
After the conversation with Tasha, Mr Davenport arrives at Davenport Industries.
"Good evening boss" the doorman says "Good evening" Mr Davenport says seriously entering the elevator, all the company's employees gather in a hall.
Mr Davenport enters and is received with applause "Good evening, I brought you together for a serious announcement, as you may already know I have some problems with the authorities, and I know that I have the support and loyalty of all of you to understand what I am about to do" Mr Davenport says.
"Know that it's nothing personal, I admire each one of you and I'm immensely grateful for all the years we've worked together, thanks to you I've come so far" Mr Davenport says with a heavy chest, he takes a deep breath.
"But it is with great difficulty that...I want to declare the closure of some sectors of this industry, many sectors" Mr Davenport says, everyone gasps in confusion and begins to question.
"I can't give much of an explanation right now, but I have reassessed my situation and this is my only option...I hope you understand" Mr Davenport says, the employees are agitated wanting answers, Mr Davenport looks at them with pity.
"Thank you very much for everything, all of you" Mr Davenport says and leaves upset but seriously, leaving it to one of his security guards to announce which sectors would be closed.
◆ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ❴✪❵ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ◆
The next day, Mr Davenport does as requested and takes the Mission Command equipment to a government facility.
Shortly after the last equipment is delivered, FBI troops arrive at the scene, Mr Davenport is inside the facility.
Agent Reed approaches the facility with the doors closed and speaks to Mr Davenport through a type of intercom.
"Good morning Mr. Davenport" Reed says "Good morning, Agent Reed" Mr Davenport says.
"You can go home, we'll take it from here" Reed says, Mr Davenport still at the door "I want to accompany you, it's my equipment" Mr Davenport says "It's our facility " Reed says.
"Oh So I don't really have control over anything?" Mr Davenport says, Reed sighs "Mr Davenport I'm sorry but I only follow orders and you should do the same" Reed says.
"I'm not going to let you guys take all of me" Mr Davenport says "You will be following everything..." Reed says.
"But i'll will not be commanding and taking care of what is mine, what I build!" Mr Davenport says "Mr Davenport, open this door, or you're under arrest!!" Reed says, Mr Davenport sighs "No" Mr Davenport says.
"We're going to break down the door!" Reed says firmly.
"If I can't have my technology... No one will" Mr Davenport says.
Reed was about to give the signal for them to break down the door, but she stops when she hears a bomb whistle "Back off!!" Reed says to the other officers, they retreat and the facility explodes, everyone ducks.
Reed watches the titanium reinforced installation smoke, she stares in disbelief.
"Mr Davenport!....go there!!" Reed tells the officers, Reed puts his hand to his face in disbelief, a helicopter that was surrounding and recording live approaches.
From that moment on, several TV channels began to broadcast the explosion of the facility.
◆ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ❴✪❵ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ◆
At the Police Station Bree and Matt are in the coffee room, Matt looks at the TV and turns up the volume.
"Oh I think we fucked up" Matt says "what?" Bree looks at the TV and sees the headline "Donald Davenport blows up government facility, and officers search for traces of life" Bree gets up.
"What are happend?" Bree says "The guy freaked out" Matt says, Bree tries to stay calm.
At the Mighty Med base Douglas faces the monitor with the same transmission.
Chase and Adam walk in "what's going on?" Adam says "they haven't found anything yet" Douglas says, Chase sighs.
◆ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ❴✪❵ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ◆
The police forces searched everything, no signs of life, the bomb used by Mr Davenport to blow up the facility was high technology, disintegrating everything inside the facility.
At city hall Bram was on his way to a meeting when one of his secretaries stopped him with a tablet in his hand.
"Mr Secretary, I have bad news" He says "What now? Can't you see I'm late?" Bram says impatiently.
"Donald Davenport blew up the facility...with him inside" the guy says, Bram stops and looks at him "What!?" Well he says in disbelief.
"Here, the latest images from the security cameras" the guy shows the video on the tablet, showing Mr Davenport talking to Reed over the intercom with the bomb already armed inside the facility.
The video shows the moment when Mr Davenport presses the button on his watch activating the bomb, the image is reduced to fire and smoke and Mr Davenport disappears in the middle of it.
"Did...did they find the body?" Bram says "Everything inside the installation was reduced to dust due to the type of bomb used, this bomb developed by himself, is capable of completely disintegrating everything around it" The guy says.
"He's gone, along with all the equipment..." The guy says, Bram puts his hand on his forehead looking stressed.
"He closed several departments at Davenport Industries yesterday, fired employees, deleted files and his industry is now just a common technology company..." He says "great, he preferred to kill himself than for us to hand over his technology... it means he knew something, DAMN IT!!!" Bram hits the wall.
"Fuck!!! Nothing goes right with this shit!" Bram says irritated, the guy hangs his head.
Bram thinks and sighs "Do you know what Davenport's death will cause, people will want answers...set up a meeting with Delegate Jhonson as soon as possible" Bram says leaving the room "yes sir" The secretary says.
◆ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ❴✪❵ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ◆
Meanwhile, Tasha was in the Davenport tower where you could see the smoke from the facility, she sighs, Leo goes to her and puts his hand on her back.
It doesn't take long for the police to knock on Tasha's door to break the news, they open the door, Tasha looks at Leo.
"We'll be fine" Leo says, Tasha smiles quickly and goes to the door.
"Mrs. Davenport?" The officer says "Yes, what happened officer?" Tasha asks.
"ma'am, it's about your husband, Donald Davenport....I'm sorry to inform you that he was involved in an explosion at a government facility, our officers did their best but did not find the body or any sign of life at the site of the explosion" the officer says "What?" Tasha says in disbelief.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Davenport" the officer says, Tasha starts crying "No! Donald...my husband, find my husband!" Tasha says "Unfortunately I think he's gone" the officer says.
"No, my husband!" Tasha puts her hand over her mouth, Leo comforts her, Tasha lays on Leo's chest.
"With all due respect we need time to accept this information" Leo says "The searches have not yet been completed, but the chances are low that we will find anything due to the state of the place after the explosion" the officer says.
"Thank you for letting us know officer" Leo says stroking Tasha's head crying on his shoulder "my condolences Mr. Dooley and Mrs. Davenport" the officer says and leaves, Leo closes the door.
Tasha wipes her tears and looks at Leo worriedly "It's done" Leo says.
"how long do we have until the madness of the testament and the press starts?" Tasha says "I would say one day" Leo says "So there's time for some tea" Tasha smiles slightly, Leo hugs Tasha.
◆ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ❴✪❵ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ◆
A while later, after the authorities found no sign of Mr Davenport.
The TV channels broadcast the headline "Billionaire businessman CEO and co-founder of the tech company Davenport Industries, Donald Davenport died in the explosion of a government facility" the news soon spread.
Matt puts his hand on his forehead "I don't believe it" Matt says "No" Bree says trying to maintain character,a tear runs down her face.
At Mighty Force headquarters, Chase, Adam, Harper, Kaz, Oliver and Skylar and other soldiers from the headquarters watch the same broadcast with images from the facilit.
"There's nothing left" Chase says "Everything turned to dust" Adam says "I want to see them find us now" Harper says and gives a broken smile
"I can't believe he..." Oliver says "that changes a lot of things" Kaz smirks slightly.
"Bree, are you listening?" Chase asks "Yeah..." Bree says softly, still in the coffee room next to Matt watching the TV.
"Stay calm Bree" Skylar says, Bree puts her hand over her mouth trying to contain her emotions.
Douglas opens the door to the command center "Guys" Douglas says, everyone turns around.
"guess who rose from the ashes" Douglas smiles and Mr Davenport walks in "Me!" Mr Davenport smiles, everyone smiles.
"Mr Davenport!!" Adam runs to him and hugs him, Harper runs right after and hugs him too.
Bree hears everything in disbelief but because she's not alone in that room she can't say anything, Chase runs and hugs Mr Davenport too.
"I thought I would never see you again" Mr Davenport says looking at each of them "We're together now Mr Davenport" Chase says.
"Chase..." Mr Davenport puts his hands on Chase's shoulders and looks at his face carefully "Look at you...look at you Adam!" Mr Davenport says proudly and impressed.
Kaz goes to Mr Davenport "Mr Davenport!!" Kaz says and suddenly hugs him, everyone frowns and Mr Davenport almost doesn't accept the hug, looking confused.
"Hey, Kaz?" Mr Davenport says, Kaz lets go of the hug awkwardly "Smooth" Harper sarcastically says to Kaz who scratches the back of his head.
"Where's Bree?" Mr Davenport says "on a mission but she can hear everything" Chase says.
"excuse me" Bree says to Matt as she leaves the room, she goes to the bathroom where she is alone, Mr Davenport goes to the communicator.
"Bree...it's me Mr Davenport" Mr Davenport says, Bree starts to tear up "hi dad" Bree says excitedly "hi my little princess" Mr Davenport smiles.
"Never do something crazy like that again, you scared me" Bree says sobbing "It won't be necessary, I hope" Mr Davenport says.
"Although he copied my idea of faking my own death" Douglas rolls his eyes, Mr Davenport glares at him.
"But at least now I'm free to stand by your side, as a team again" Mr Davenport says.
"yeah!" Kaz raises his hand for a high five with Mr Davenport who looks at him confused, so as not to let Kaz down Oliver gives him a high five.
"Thanks man, it would be embarrassing" Kaz says "Oh no, it was embarrassing, but I just wanted to end the embarrassment quickly" Oliver says, Kaz looks at him frustrated.
"We're sorry for Davenport Industries" Skylar says "I mean it must be hard to lose technology and information that took you years to acquire" Oliver says "Yeah, but I didn't lose everything" Mr Davenport says.
"Yeah, we have everything right here" Douglas points to files recently received at the command center "Everything that Davenport Industries has been since the beginning is in these files" Douglas says.
"Now Davenport Industries lives in the shadows, just like us" Chase smirk "Look, I'm proud of you, all of you" Mr Davenport says, Bree smiles when she hears this.
"Welcome to Mighty Force, Mr Davenport" Harper says "I'm so happy to be back" Mr Davenport says.
Chase puts his hand on his shoulder "so, ready for your next adventure" Chase smiles, Mr Davenport nods yes and hugs Chase.
◆ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ❴✪❵ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ◆
In the Davenport tower, a lawyer shows Tasha and Leo Mr Davenport's documents.
"He explained everything, showed he was aware of what he was doing when he exploded that facility" The lawyer says, Tasha sighs, looking upset.
"According to this testament, he declared that he will leave part of his fortune to his adopted son Leo Dooley" the lawyer hands over a document to Leo.
"just as he leaves this tower and any type of property and the properties that would be used by the Elite Force," the lawyer says.
"And according to the document, the rest of the money, all other real estate, and what's left of Davenport Industries he leaves to his wife, Tasha Davenport" he hands a document to Tasha.
"So...Is Davenport Industries mine now?" Tasha says "yes, you take over from now on, if you agree" the lawyer says, Tasha nods and signs the document saying she agrees, as does Leo.
The lawyer takes the documents "Okay, now I'm going to take this to the department and come back when I have more news" he says and leaves, Leo sighs.
"Wow mom, Mrs. Davenport, the new owner of Davenport Industries" Leo smirk "I can't believe we did that" Tasha says.
"at least now the FBI isn't after him anymore, it's over...I mean sort of" Leo says.
"Now all they think is that his industry is in the hands of his innocent and incapable wife" Tasha smirks and looks at Leo "What fools" Leo chuckles.
"You're amazing mom, seriously you're awesome" Leo says "Aww" Tasha hugs Leo.
"Being Donald's wife isn't for everyone" Tasha smirk "Yes, you're going to rock it, Mrs. Davenport" Leo says confidently.
◆ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ❴✪❵ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ◆
After all Chase is alone in the meeting room staring at the window, Leo walks in.
"Chase" Leo says, Chase takes a deep breath and clears his throat "Hey Leo,What are you doing here, I thought you were going to take care of your mother?" Chase says
"Yeah, but she's busy pretending to mourn for some friends, and I decided to do that by not showing up at the friends' gathering" Leo says, Chase chuckles.
"And I also came to see how Big D adapted here" Leo says "He's doing well..." Chase says.
Chase shakes his head "I still can't believe he had to do that" Chase says "there was no other choice Chase, we did everything to protect him, we tried to leave him out of it but they cornered him to this" Leo says.
"The problem is, no secret lasts forever," Chase says, Leo looks at Chase thoughtfully he holds the pendant, Leo sighs.
"Chase, there's something I've wanted to tell you for a while, I just never said it because I thought it would be safer that way...but I think you should know" Leo says "What is it?" Chase says.
Leo takes off the necklace and opens the pendant showing the chip inside "this" Leo says, Chase makes a surprised face and takes the chip in his hand "My chip!" Chase says.
"Yeah, on the day of the robbery with all the rush, Harper left it behind, I didn't even know it was yours but I kept it, it was all we had left, the last hope we would have of saving bionics" Leo says.
"Wow I thought I would never see that again" Chase says "I know...but maybe it's time for you to go back to being the smartest man in the world, right?" Leo smiles.
Chase looks at Leo thoughtfully, he looks at the chip and bites his bottom lip with a serious look, he shakes his head "No, keep it" Chase puts the chip back in the pendant.
"What?" Leo says "It's not time yet" Chase says and gives the necklace back to Leo.
"what do you mean?" Leo says "Like you said, maybe this is all I'll have left to save my bionics" Chase says "what do you mean you'll have left?" Leo asks.
"Take care of it, I trust you" Chase says he gives a slight smile "Okay, but what do you think could happen?" Leo asks "I don't know" Chase says.
"You know. you have plans, don't you?" Leo says "Look...Is this just between us?" Chase points to the pendant "Of course" Leo says.
"Well, I'm going to be honest with you Leo" Chase says he approaches "This isn't a life!" Chase says, Leo frowns.
"I'm not saying that we're not free, we are, their rules are nothing to us... but we don't have peace, they're cornering us more and more, and with each passing day we are in greater numbers...trapped in this situation" Chase says worried.
"You're going to do something crazy at some point, aren't you?" Leo crosses his arms, Chase sighs putting his hands on his hips "that's been the summary of my life lately" Chase says.
"If you decide to do something crazy os there someone capable of stopping you?" Leo asks "No one will react that fast" Chase says, Leo shakes his head.
"Does Harper know you think that way?" Leo asks, Chase just quickly glares at Leo.
"Just take care of the chip" Chase says and leaves, Leo sighs and he looks at the pendant worried.
