Chapter Four

"I got a new lab, I got a new lab. I got a new lab." Davenport chants as we walked down some unfamiliar hallways to the new lab.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. I think you mean, we got a new lab." Bree corrected as we stand outside the door.

"Excuse me. Did we pay to rebuild it?" Davenport sassed back.

"Do you sleep in a glass box?" Bree fired back, making me smirk.

"We got a new lab, we got a new lab." Davenport chanted. "And here it is." Davenport revealed our new lab, the one we had been waiting for; for weeks.

The doors opened revealing itself, I gaped in amazement. Everyone entered the new and improved lab. It looks so much better than the old one.

But, instead of three glass boxes, there were four.

Hang on a minute. Hang on a freaking deaky minute.

"Guys, look at all these upgrades. Mr. Davenport, this place is amazing." Chase complimented as we looked around the new lab.

"Of course it is. I designed it." Davenport speaks highly. Leo coughed. "Fine. We designed it. We, we!" He then went on to explain things. "Upgraded capsules, bam! Quantum processing supercomputer, bam! Four-dimensional combat simulator, bam! This, my friends, is what a multi-million dollar makeover looks like."

"Why are there four glass boxes?" I demanded. I did not want to sleep down here.

"Guess who's moving down in the basement?" Davenport smiled sheepishly.

"I hoped to god it's you." I glared. I then sighed. "I don't want to sleep in a box!"

"But you have too, we don't want a repeat of what happened a few weeks ago." Davenport reminded me. "It's not going to be that bad."

"It's not going to be that bad." I mocked and rolled my eyes. "I'd like to see you try."

"Riley's moving in with us!?" Bree and Chase both say excitedly in sync, grinning.

"I don't want to stand up and sleep!" I complain.

Bree wraps an arm around me. "You'll get use to it."

"Is there a mini-fridge?" Adam cuts off my arguing.

"No." Davenport replied.

"I bet our real dad's lab has a mini fridge." Adam murmured to his siblings.

"Hey, Leo, where's your work station?" Bree asked my best friend.

"This way, children." Leo motioned towards a corner, he then pressed a button and up comes his work station.

My mouth drops in surprise.

"Woah!" Adam exclaimed.

"The floor in the lab is compartmentalized, meaning we can store things in it. May I?" He looked at Davenport for permission who nodded, grinning. "Bam!"

Chase then looked around, then gasped when his eyes spotted some creation on the desk. "Is that a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer?" Chase races over to it, his hands hovering it. He fangirls. "Ahh! I've never seen one in person before. It's so beautiful."

"Should we leave you two alone?" Adam joked, then he leans to me. "I think he's cheating on you."

I lean on Adam, whispering; "That thing is way out of his league."

Adam grinned and high fived me and we continued to chuckle.

"Mr. Davenport, how did you afford all this?" Bree questioned her father.
