Epilogue: Three Months Later

Chase walks through the hallways of Mission Creek High School, on his way to meet Leo for study group. He grins as he thinks back to the last three months since he got out of the hospital. He has been in counseling regularly with Dr. Alicia Lafferty, a psychologist, talking about various things, consisting of his mission to the bullying, to his family and friends. He realized that he did have issues dealing with his feelings, and Dr. Lafferty diagnosed Chase with Depression. Another thing that had happened was the Principle Perry got fired. The School Board in their meeting found that she was negligent in her duties and derelict in performing her duties and her continuing encouragement of the bullying that ran rampant in the school. After Perry got fired and the school board hired a new principle, the school came under a lot of changes. For one, the school board implemented a No Bullying policy throughout the area. Rose however did not like those changes, and continued to bully Chase and other students until she was expelled from the school, after getting numerous detentions and suspensions. Adam and Bree managed to curb their bullying at school, only name calling and small pranks that got them detentions but never more serious to earn suspension and expulsion, however, at home they would play cruel pranks and continued to harass Chase even if Tasha and Mr. Davenport kept grounding them to the house unless they had a mission. Chase had decided to start the study group to get the geeks and the jocks to interact more and to lessen the bullying. With the study group and the new policy, the bullying has gone down significantly. Chase sees Leo walking the hallways towards himself, Chase waves as the walk into the library together, "hey Chase, how was your day?"

"Good, got another A on my test so I am happy about that."

"That's great."

"Yea, I also heard that Mike got an A on his test."

"I heard that too. Do you know why he managed to get an A?"

"Come on Leo, it's a group effort and Mike did all of the hard work."

"Yea, but you helped guide him through the notes. You have helped a lot of the students."

"I didn't do anything."

"Yes you did Chase. You stood up to the bullies, you spoke about your experience of being bullied, you put together this study group, you did that Chase, no one else."

"Thanks Leo. Shall we go inside."

"OK." Chase and Leo walks into the library for the study group.


Chase and Leo walks into the house when they see Mr. Davenport coming out of the stairs, "good, there you two are, we have a mission. There is a train full of people that cannot stop and they are going to crash when they get to a bend on the railway track. They have no way to stop nor do they have a way to slow down." Mr. Davenport goes back towards the elevator with Chase and Leo following them, "I have already told Adam and Bree." They continue on down to the lab where they entered Chase immediately enters his capsule, changing into his mission suit, he steps out. "Chase will be the mission leader while Leo and I will stay here and monitor the situation."

"Copy." Chase, Bree and Adam leaves the lab, they entered the helicopter and fly towards where the train was heading, "you heard what Mr. Davenport said, hundreds of men, women and children are in danger, we need to listen to each other."


Chase walks into the lab, with a bloody arm, Leo looks at him and immediately calls for Mr. Davenport, Mr. Davenport comes down into the lab and directs Chase over to the holotable. Mr. Davenport puts the aid kit down on the table from where he got it from upstairs, he looks at Chase, "I know you are upset."

"Damn right I'm upset, those two need to start listening and not just to me but also to Leo. They even ignored the firefighters that were on scene, they thought they knew better."

"I know Chase and I will talk to them. That is unacceptable."

"What are we going to do? If they won't listen to me on a mission, then future missions are already compromised because I won't be able to trust them to have my back."

"I know. I just don't know what to do with them." Mr. Davenport goes back to patching Chase up, finishing putting the last of the bandages on, "Go to your room Chase and get some rest. Tasha will have dinner soon."

"Thanks dad."

"You are welcome son." Mr. Davenport stands up and hug Chase, kissing him on the forehead, "I love you Chase and I will always try to protect you, even from family." Chase walks towards the elevator and went up to the main floor of the house, walking up the stairs to the second floor, he walks to his room. Opening up his door he sees all the awards that he has received in the last few months, most of them for academia. He sits on his bed and changes out of his mission suit, laying down on top of his covers, he closes his eyes and was fast asleep, not knowing when Leo came in, covering him up with a blanket, nor did he hear Mr. Davenport coming in, sitting next to him on the bed, laying his hand on his head. Neither did he hear Tasha coming in, sitting next to his dad watching over him.


Chase wakes up with a blanket covering him, he gets up and changes into sweats and a t-shirt, leaving his room he comes down the stairs and sees Janelle and Mae sitting at the table with Leo, he smiles a wide smile, knowing that no matter what Bree or Adam did to him he would always have his family that loves him for him.
