Chase's POV

I took Mr. Davenport downstairs to talk with him. I was SO mad.

"Mr. Davenport, why did you bug Katie?"

"Look it's my job to look out for you guys! I was just trying to protect you-"

"Because you thought Katie was a spy for Krane! How could you?" I yelled, my eyes brimming with tears.

"Okay, I'm sorry-"

"Sorry? Katie could have gotten KILLED! And all you can say is SORRY? Mr Davenport, I can't believe you!"

"Look, Chase, I couldn't risk you guys-"

"But you sure could risk Katie! She's been through enough already! We were supposed to give her a better future and you can't even do that! Don't follow me. I want to be alone."

I ran up to Katie's room (aka the infirmary room) and shut the door. Well, slammed it. Katie started to stir and I ran over to her side. She opened her eyelids slowly, and I sighed with relief.

"Hey Chase." She croaked.

"Hi Katie, how are you feeling?"

"Better than before, that's for sure. I'm so grateful that you guys saved me. Thank you."
        She smiled faintly and lightly squeezed my hand. I walked over to the vital monitors and checked Katie's status. She was gonna be okay.

"Chase?" She whispered.

I turned back around and smiled. "Yes?"

"What happened out there? Why was I hearing Davenport and all of you?"

"Look, Katie. I didn't know that Mr. Davenport did this until you were already out on the mission. Mr. Davenport bugged you."

"What? Why?"

"He claims that he was just tracking your progress, but I think that he didn't trust you."

"But why would I be spying for Krane? That doesn't make sense! He abused me for years! Why would I ever work for him?"

"I don't know what Mr. Davenport was thinking but that's what happened. I'm really sorry."

"Its not your fault. I'm just sorry that this mission is kind of a bust."

"Don't worry about anything for right now. Just get some rest. Sweet dreams."

I gave her a light hug and left the room, softly closing the door behind me. I made my way to the kitchen and grabbed an apple. I bit it viciously trying to get all my anger out somehow.

The next day....

Katie's POV

I woke up the next morning (I think it was the next morning) and I felt very refreshed. I sat up in my bed and decided it was time for me to move around a little. I stood up but I was still connected to the monitors. I pulled the cords too far and they toppled over, almost hitting me. Thankfully I ducked out of the way just in time. I looked over to the clock on the wall. 5:30? Uh oh.. I hope that didn't wake anybody up. A few seconds later however, I heard rushed footsteps. I felt so bad that I woke everybody up! I was trying to pick up the monitors when someone knocked on the door.

"I'm fine! Sorry, I knocked over these monitors and-"

And then I blacked out.

Chase's POV

I woke up feeling refreshed. I was so glad that Mr. Davenport soundproofed our capsules! Now I didn't hear Adam snoring all night long.

       I changed into a hoodie and jeans and my signature hightops. I ran upstairs and I was gonna check on Katie. I hoped that it would be all uphill from here. Most of all I hoped that she would understand why Mr. Davenport bugged her.

I ran up to her room and found not Katie, but Mr. Davenport! He was standing there with a note in his hands. When he realized that I was here, he passed the note to me. It read:

Davenport,

Unless you defeat me, you'll never see your precious little Katie again.
She will join my side and help me rule the world with my bionic soldiers.
If she refuses, let's just say that even if you defeat me, you won't see her again.

Thomas Gherkin aka Victor Krane

"We have to find her!" I practically screamed.

"I know. The President is already on board helping. His agents are trying to track Katie as we speak."

"But why can't we just use her GPS to track her?"

"Krane turned it off."

I pinched myself so hard it hurt. Then I realized, this is not a dream. This is pure reality.
