I go to the side entrance of the garage door to find another note: “Come in, door is open.” Hmm, I guess he is expecting me.
I push open the door slowly and see Dr. Brady’s back facing me. He’s hunched over a lab table, probably working on some new toy for my armband communicator. I swear, I still haven’t used the other ninety-five ‘improvements’ he put in! In any case, I think I’ll start off with the good news and then parlay it into the ‘bad news’.
“Hey Dr. Brady, sorry I’m late I was on my way here and the thing was that I happened to catch a dispatch on the police scanner about a robot wreaking havoc at the mall.”
And Dr. Brady continues to tinker on his workbench. What’s up with that? Well, maybe if I tell I finally used the ‘net’ option on my communicator that’ll make him take notice of me! That or he has earplugs on again. Last time that happened, I was talking for like, fifteen minutes before he pulled them off and was surprised to see me standing there. So I guess I should be a little louder.
“The best part was I stopped the robot by using that new ‘net’ option you put in. I have to say that’s one pretty useful improvement!” Heck, if I said it any louder I think the neighbours would hear me!
“I’m glad you like it Zak!”
Funny, I could’ve just sworn that sounded like... “Mrs. Brady?”
And that’s when Dr. Brady swivels around to reveal, Mrs. Brady! I’m at a loss for words at this moment.
I’ve never really had the wind knocked out of me before, but I’ve heard stories from my fellow super heroes about fighting really tough super villains like ‘mad-red’ and getting hit in the gut and having the wind knocked out of them. They say you get really disorientated and have to sit down. I think I’m going to need to sit down now.
CHAPTER SIX
Mrs. Brady walks over to me and grabs my arm while examining the armband communicator.
“I’m glad you like it, it took me and Wyatt several days to work out all of the bugs.”
“Wyatt?” I quickly pull my arm away from Mrs. Brady.
“Wyatt is my ‘husband’s’ first name.”
“Oh, right. Sorry, forgot about that.”
“Quite all right.” Mrs. Brady grabs my arm once more.
“After all, I’ve called him ‘Dr. Brady’ for several years now that I literally almost forgot he even had a first name!”
I pull my arm away from her again. Before she goes around modifying the armband in anyway I just have to know where Dr. Brady is.
“If you don’t mind me asking, where is Dr. Brady?”
“A few members of the Society of Super heroes wanted him to go on a secret mission with them as their ‘scientific observer’.”
“Do you know when he will be back?”
“Sorry, but the society is really secretive. I’m sure you’ve had your share of ‘secrets’ as well. Since, after all, you yourself use to be a superhero.”
Mrs. Brady does have a point there. There have been plenty of times where I’ve gone on missions with various members of the Society of Superheroes and I just couldn’t tell anyone about what I was doing. Not even my own mother!
Mrs. Brady once again grabs my arm, but this time hooks up a computer cable to a socket my armband. I’ve always wondered what that socket was there for.
“Now, let’s have another look at that armband shall we? According to the data read out I see you haven’t tried out the flame gun option nor have you tried out the Electro shock option! I’m quite hurt, Wyatt spent quite some time developing that one!”
