# Episode 19| We Are a Mess
At Mission Command, Chase is working and Newton is at the cyber desk watching him.
"Seriously, there isn't a mouse or anything for you to chase instead of just standing there staring at me?" Chase asks the cat, Newton meows, Chase rolls his eyes.
"hey Newton, why don't you go with mommy huh? she's up there probably looking for you go! go!" Chase says trying to scare the cat away with a friendly tone.
Newton walks over to Chase's hand which is resting on the table and licks his hand purring, Chase sighs.
"I honestly don't understand why you like me so much!" Chase says frustrated, he removes his hand and goes back to work.
"Where's the piece..." Chase looks for the piece, Newton has the piece in his mouth and hands it to Chase, he frowns "uh thanks?" Chase takes the piece.
Harper leaves the HyperLift "Hey sweetheart" Harper says "Harper how does your cat always know what tool I need on my projects?" Chase asks.
"first he's our cat!" Harper says, Chase rolls his eyes.
"And second, I trained him for different activities and I'm doing everything I can to make him an intelligent cat with different abilities, I even developed a special high-tech collar for him" Harper points to the collar while petting Newton.
"Why are you doing all this?" Chase asks "because I want you to get along with him!" Harper says.
"Your effort to make me like it is admirable sweetheart" Chase says "Your insistence on not liking him too, babe" Harper smirk.
"what does that collar do?" Chase ask "This collar has transmitters that make him understand some basic commands like picking up things and going places, as well as a locator, as well as being super comfortable for him" Harper says proudly.
"If he understands basic commands because when I ask him to leave he doesn't leave" Chase says "him understanding doesn't mean he wants to do it, he's a being with free will, Chase, he's the one who makes decisions" Harper says, Chase frowns.
"seriously, he's only here with us because he wants to, he could have run away a thousand times but he's still here, you know why?" Harper asks Chase who looks at her with an unfriendly face.
"Why?" Chase asks "because we're his family" Harper smiles, Chase tries to hold back his smile "okay I must admit that....he actually helps me" Chase says.
"Yes, he's intelligent... maybe that's why he likes you so much, he recognizes your intelligence" Harper smirk "Okay, I understand what you're doing, and you can stop!" Chase says whit a smile, Harper laughs.
"So I imagine it wouldn't be a problem to leave him here this afternoon, right?" Harper asks "I have the ability to take care of a cat, Darling, you know!" Chase says.
"Of course because there's nothing you don't know how to do" Harper smirk teasing him "Will you stop boosting my ego, or will I need to make you stop?" Chase teases.
"I'd love to see you try...but I'm late...that's for later" Harper winks and leaves via HyperLift, Chase watches her leave biting his lip.
......................................................................
In the living room Bree is painting her nails while Kaz watches TV, the two are silent for a while.
"So...it's cold today, right?" Kaz says "Kaz, we can stay silent, there's nothing wrong with that" Bree says.
"I think so, if you count the fact that this silence has already lasted about four days" Kaz says.
"I'm just saying it doesn't mean anything, maybe we just haven't had any conversation since...that party" Bree says nervously.
"Uh, but I can think of millions of topics we could have talked about since the party, like this tea towel that Oliver is embroidering for Skylar" Kaz takes the tea towel, with a drawing of Skylar embroidered on it.
"if you insist on talking about this thing then I prefer the awkward silence" Bree says "I don't know if he wanted to embroider Skylar or a very hairy dog" Kaz looks at the tea towel, Bree laughs.
"Oh cool, I got a smile, I was already missing it" Kaz smiles, Bree stops laughing "Uhm.. Did you miss my smile?" Bree says twirling her hair around her finger "Yeah!" Kaz smirk.
Skylar overhears the end of the conversation and walks in "Hey Guys!" Skylar says, Kaz hides the dish towel.
"What are you guys talking about, oh am I disturbing something?" Skylar ask, Bree and Kaz look at each other "No!" They both say.
"why do you think you would be interrupting something we are just talking" Kaz laughs nervously "Yes, that's what we always do, we talk" Bree says.
Skylar looks at the two suspiciously "Sure! What else could you do, right?" Skylar laughs, Bree and Kaz smile awkwardly.
"like it's not like you guys hooked up or anything" Skylar laughs and sits on the couch, Bree and Kaz freeze for a second.
"Ha Why did you say that?" Kaz laughs "I'm just saying something you wouldn't do, because you would never do it right?" Skylar says, Bree frowns.
"No, never, right Bree" Kaz says clearing his throat "yeaah..." Bree says thoughtfully, Skylar looks at the two.
Kaz rolls his eyes "Oh shit, you know!" Kaz says "of course I know!" Skylar says "How do you know?" Bree ask.
"Duh remember I was the only sober one at that party I saw everything....and by the way you humans are very weird when drunk" Skylar says, Bree rolls her eyes.
"you didn't tell Oliver right?" Kaz aks "no I didn't tell anyone" Skylar says "great, because I'm the one who's going to tell him" Kaz says.
"wait what?" Bree says indignantly "He's going to get mad at me if I don't tell him, and lately we've been having crises in our friendship and I don't want to have to buy him chocolates to make him feel better...again!" Kaz says.
"You won't say anything! The deal was that we forget this happened okay?" Bree says "I saw you two, don't you act like you forgot at all" Skylar says, Kaz scratches his head and Bree glares at her.
"Okay, you know what? I don't even know what you're talking about! And whatever it is has nothing to do with me" Bree says irritated "Bree calm down" Kaz says.
"No, Kaz, as far as I know we are friends and that's it since nothing has ever happened between us and will never happen and Skylar has never seen anything!" Bree says nervously.
"Wait, never?" Kaz says, Skylar sighs looking away, and Bree makes a face of regret the same second he says it.
"No, I didn't...""No, I got it, Skylar you never saw anything because nothing happened, and I think it's better to leave that as the end of this conversation" Kaz says in a serious tone.
"Okay, sorry" Skylar says, Kaz looks at Bree "Yeah that's the end of the conversation" Bree says slightly upset, they hear Missson Command's intercom.
"Guys? You can come here? I have a mission for you and it's urgent and extremely important" Chase says over the intercom.
"On the way, man" Kaz says, he goes to the HyperLift but first he looks at Bree seriously, she lowers her head and Kaz leaves.
......................................................................
Bree sighs and starts heading towards the HyperLift.
"Bree wait!" Skylar says, Bree looks at Skylar and crosses her arms "look, I'm sorry, I didn't want to cause this situation between you guys" Skylar says.
"it's okay Skylar, it wasn't your fault, you didn't know" Bree says "I thought you guys were okay with it" Skylar says "and we are!" Bree chuckles nervously.
"Seriously ? if it's okay why don't you guys want to talk about it?" Skylar asks "because we promised that if that happened it would only be once and it wouldn't ruin our friendship" Bree says.
"But you didn't want it to be like that, did you?" Skylar says "what?" Bree says "I saw you guys, you looked so happy and fulfilled" Skylar says.
"it was the drinking" Bree says "No it wasn't, it was real feeling, the drink just gave you a little push to do something you always wanted to do" Skylar says.
"Okay, Skylar, what are you getting at?" Bree says uncomfortable, "That you really like Kaz and you need to tell him" Skylar says, Bree shakes her head.
"I don't like Kaz...not like that" Bree says "really?" Skylar crosses her arms "of course" Bree says "ok, and who was the kiss idea from?" Skylar asks, Bree stays silent.
"uh...I don't remember" Bree says and leaves, Skylar sighs and rolls her eyes.
......................................................................
Skylar and Bree join Kaz and Chase on Mission Command.
"We're here, what's the mission?" Bree ask "I'm developing uniforms that are more resistant to Arcturion's energy for the team, but I also plan to further study it to find a way to defeat Sebastian, but for that I need Arcturion here" Chase says.
"Isn't it dangerous for us to remove Arcturion from the facility knowing that Sebastian is after him?" Skylar says.
"yes, that's why I spoke to Mr Davenport and we are going to remove Arcturion from the facility as discreetly as possible in one of the weapons trucks that leave and enter the facility every day" Chase shows the trucks at the cyber desk.
"For security reasons, only authorized personnel know about the Arcturion's transportation, meaning not even the facility's employees will know that it will be with us" Chase says.
"Okay, and what are we going to do?" Kaz asks "your mission is to go to this meeting point to receive the truck, pick up the Arcturion and return to the tower" Chase says.
"why doesn't the truck bring the rock here?" Bree says "The trucks can be tracked so this meeting point is so far away, once the Arcturion is out of the truck it is guaranteed that no one will know the location of the rock" Chase says.
"So the mission is to go there and... wait?" Kaz aks "yes, but as simple as it may seem, it is a delicate mission and requires a lot of attention, if we lose the truck we will be risking losing the Arcturion or expose the location of it to possible threats" Chase says.
"okay go over there and wait for the truck, I think we can do it" Bree says, Kaz agrees they look at Skylar who looks thoughtful.
"Chase, I'm sorry but I'm not feeling very well, I don't think I'll be able to go on the mission" Skylar says "what?" Chase asks "what!?" Bree says irritated.
"I feel my throat hurts..." Skylar fakes a cough "it's a delicate mission I don't think it's a good idea for me to go" Skylar says.
Bree looks at her irritated she knows what Skylar is doing "But you looked great just now!" Kaz says "No Kaz I feel terrible, I think just you and Bree should go!" Skylar says.
"To be honest, the fewer people, the more discreet the mission is, so it's a good idea for just the two of you to go" Chase says "thank you Chase" Skylar pretends to cough again.
"Okay, so let's just be you and me... it won't be awkward at all, since nothing will ever and will not happen between us" Kaz says irritated and leaves, Bree sighs.
Skylar starts to leave and Bree follows her "what do you think you're doing?" Bree says "nothing, I just think it's an opportunity for you and Kaz to work things out" Skylar says.
"there's nothing left to work things out!" Bree says "He's clearly upset, it doesn't matter if you tell him how you feel or not, but you guys need to work this out anyway" Skylar says.
She leaves and Bree puts her hand on her forehead in thought
......................................................................
Chase stays at Mission Command with Newton, the cat insists on staying close to him.
"Newton, not now!" Chase says, Newton meows, he lays down on top of the prototype that Chase is working on.
Chase sighs impatiently "I said not now! I don't have time to play with you!" Chase picks up Newton and puts him on the ground.
The cat continues to meow and paw at Chase's leg "Ugh! Newton, can you leave me alone!!" Chase shouts impatiently.
Newton looks at him and runs away, Chase sighs rolling his eyes "Finally!" Chase says and goes back to work.
......................................................................
Bree and Kaz go to the meeting point, in a desert not so far from Centium City but far enough.
"What an amazing mission to sit and wait in the middle of nowhere for who knows how long, just to get something off a truck" Bree says, Kaz sits on a rock in silence.
Bree looks at him "Kaz, are you mad at me?" Bree asks "No, why would I be?" Kaz says.
"you didn't say anything the whole way" Bree says "You said yourself that it's okay to be silent" Kaz says.
"Uh well but...I don't like you being silent" Bree says "and why not?" Kaz asks, Bree rolls her eyes and sits on the rock opposite him with her arm crossed.
"Yeah, today is going to be a long day" Kaz says putting on some headphones "Don't even tell me" Bree sighs impatiently.
......................................................................
In the living room Oliver and Skylar are on the couch having a moment alone.
Skylar kiss him while hugging Oliver's neck with one leg in his lap, he holds her waist with one hand and caresses her leg whit the other.
Suddenly Chase leaves HyperLift "Guys" Chase says, Oliver breaks the kiss "We're not doing anything!" Oliver says surprised, Chase rolls his eyes "really? You think I was born yesterday?" Chase says.
"What's wrong Chase?" Skylar asks "wait weren't you sick?" Chase asks "are you?" Oliver asks worriedly.
"uh is it a problem if I am?" Skylar asks "No, it will be worth it" Oliver says "so yeah i am still sick" Skylar pretends to cough.
"anyway, did you see Newton, he must have come up here" Chase says " Uh, I haven't seen any sign of Newton all day" Oliver says.
"Neither have I, he hasn't been here" Skylar says "What!?" Chase says "He could be in the rooms" Oliver says "Sure!" Chase runs upstairs.
"But are you really sick?" Oliver says "no I just pretended to not go on a mission" Skylar says "Aw to stay with me?" Oliver smiles "Uh sure, what else would it be for?" Skylar laughs nervously "Aw I love you" Oliver kisses her cheek, Skylar smiles.
Chase goes downstairs "He's nowhere to be found" Chase says "wait did you lose him?" Skylar says, Chase looks scared.
Leo walks in "Leo! Please tell me you saw Newton somewhere" Chase says desperately "I didn't see him" Leo says.
Chase runs his hand through his hair "No no no no I didn't do that!" Chase says "how did you lose him?" Oliver says "I didn't lose I think he ran away!" Chase says.
"why would he do that?" Skylar ask "I don't know, The last thing I remember was that I yelled at him and now he's gone!" Chase says.
"Wait you lost Newton!? Wow you are a terrible pet father Chase" Leo says.
"Oh my God, No, Harper, that's it, she's going to come here and ask about the cat and when I tell her I yelled at him and he ran away she's going to be very angry, and then she will scream at me and... that's it she's going to break up with me!" Chase says desperately.
"What did I do!?" Chase says "Calm down Chase, don't be stupid she won't break up with you" Leo puts his hand on his shoulder "thanks Leo" Chase smiles.
"she'll probably kill you first" Leo smiles sarcastically, Chase looks at him scared, Oliver and Skylar agree.
......................................................................
Bree and Kaz continue to wait, Kaz is enjoying music on headphones and Bree looks upset.
Kaz looks at Bree who is sitting with her head on one of her knees, bored.
Kaz then starts making low noises imitating a guitar from the song he was listening to on his headphones, he's listening to the song Can't Stop by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
He imitates a guitar with his hands and continues making the sounds, Bree looks at him confused.
"Oh-Oh oooh!" Kaz sings with his eyes closed as if he forgot Bree was there, when in fact it's the opposite he just wants to break her boredom
"They World I love, the tears I drop, to be part of the wave i can't stop" Kaz hums, Bree frowns with a smile.
"Ever wonder if it's all for you?" Kaz sings and turns to her with a smile "what are you doing?" Bree chuckles, Kaz takes out one of the headphones.
"Red Hot Chili Peppers, do you like it?" Kaz gives her the phone, she puts it on and starts listening to the music too.
Kaz imitates a drum with his hands, Bree laughs and does the same imitating a guitar at the height of the song, the two start to sing together.
With each chorus of the song Bree needs to get closer to Kaz so the phone doesn't come out of her ear.
They sing very loudly but it's a deserted place where almost no one passes by.
Kaz feels slightly relieved to break the ice and Bree feels free and content to be having a fun time with Kaz again.
When the song ends Bree takes off her headphones laughing "I love this song" Kaz says "you're weird" Bree says thinking about what just happened.
"At least I wasn't the one who was out of tune every time they said "Can't stop!"" Kaz says trying to imitate Bree out of tune, Bree hits him on the arm "You're ridiculous" Bree says.
They both smile at each other "But I'm glad we're okay again" Bree says "I wasn't mad at you, your comment just took me out of guard" Kaz says.
"I'm sorry, but do you think we should talk about this, clear things up?" Bree asks "I think so" Kaz says "Kaz I..." Bree is interrupted when heavy rain starts to fall.
"but where did that come from?" Bree says "I don't know but I think we better get out of here" Kaz says getting up.
"Where?" Bree says putting her hands on her head so the rain doesn't ruin her hair, Kaz looks around.
"there's a bar not so far, let's stay there until the rain stops" Kaz says "okay, let's go" Bree super speed the two of them to the bar.
......................................................................
Leo has been helping Chase search practically the entire building for Newton.
They return to Mission Command "I can't believe he ran away like that!" Chase says.
"Well Chase, it's obvious that you really hurt the poor thing's feelings" Leo says "It's a cat!" Chase says irritated.
"you see? Right there that tone, that tone that screwed everything up, be more empathetic man!" Leo says "I am empathetic! You think I'm not thinking about how much Harper tries every day to make me like this cat!" Chase says, Leo looks at him.
"I know it doesn't seem like it but Harper is the sweetest girl in the world if you pay attention to the details, and me and this cat are the two most important things to her, and what did I do? I was a jerk by not taking care of him correctly and if I don't find him she'll probably hate me, which means her world will fall apart" Chase freaks out.
"Wow I didn't know this was so important to her" Leo says "yes It is, I have no patience with this cat but it's adorable to see how much she cares about my feelings about him, she even projected a....high tech collar!" Chase realizes.
"that's it!" Chase goes to the cyber desk "What?" Leo asks "Harper made a collar with a tracker for Newton, we just need to activate the tracker" Chase says.
"and why did you only think about that now?" Leo says "I was desperate! Chase says irritated.
"Funny, they say people who have cats are calmer" Leo says sarcastically, Chase glares at him.
"I found the signal...well that's weird is it coming from the house" Chase says "maybe he's back!" Leo says "let's go!" Chase says they both run to the HyperLift.
......................................................................
Chase and Leo go to the room where the signal is coming from.
"Do you hear that?" Leo says "it's the tracker" Chase says they follow the noise to the collar on the ground.
"Newton's collar" Chase says.
"If he ripped off the collar by himself, woe I didn't know you and Harper raised a rebellious teenage cat" Leo says, Chase looks and takes the collar "he must have taken after his mom" Chase says.
"Where is he?" Leo says "I don't know, it doesn't make sense, someone must have taken his collar off" Chase says "does that mean someone stole him?" Leo says, Chase thinks.
"What are we going to do?" Cha Se says "If we get a cat that looks a lot like Newton do you think she'll notice the difference?" Leo asks, Chase glares at him, and sighs.
Harper open the front door and walks in "Hey guys" Harper says, Chase, in fright, gives Leo the collar and Leo throws it away.
"Hi Harper!" Leo says smiling forcefully "Ah there she is..." Chase goes to her.
"Have I told you you're beautiful?" Chase says nervously "Yes, actually" Harper says.
"Of course, but I already told you that today you look stunning...""Chase are you okay?" Harper interrupts.
"why can't I praise you?" Chase says "You can but at the moment you seem desperate" Harper says.
"desperate? Me? No I'm the calmest guy in the world, the smartest and calmest guy in the world is how I'm known, right Leo?" Chase smiles.
"yeah I don't know anyone calmer than this guy!" Leo laughs "Yeah right....That's the biggest bullshit I've ever heard" Harper says.
"You're right, I don't know why I thought you would fall for that" Chase says "apparently you forgot that you're talking to the person who knows you so much so that even knows the color of the underwear you're wearing right now" Harper smirk, Chase frowns for a second and then agrees.
"To be honest, I wouldn't fall for that either and I don't know and don't even want to know what color it is" Leo says, Chase sighs.
"What happened?" Harper asks "Nothing you need to worry about" Chase says "If that were the case, would you tell me what happened then, yes, it's something I should be worried about" Harper says.
"Damn, she's better than my mom at detecting lies" Leo tells Chase "Chase?" Harper says.
"Look she already knows it was your fault!" Leo smiles "Leo! Shut up!" Chase says.
"Sweetheart, do you know Newton?" Chase tries to be gentle "Yeess" Harper says suspiciously.
"I might have kind of...maybe...lost him" Chase says "You're kidding, right? Because if you are, it's not funny" Harper says.
"it's Chase, he's never funny" Leo says "if you're not going to help, don't get in the way!" Chase says irritated.
"You lost him!!" Harper says "calm down, he couldn't have gone far!" Chase says.
"yeah and there's a small chance he was stolen" Leo grabs the collar "Stolen?" Harper looks at the collar.
"Darling, I'm sorry, I yelled at him and scared him and after that..." Chase puts his hand on her shoulder "Did you yell at him?" Harper looks upset.
"Yes, but i wasn't mean, I yelled at him like I yell at everyone" Chase tries to soften the news for her, Harper sighs.
"I'm sorry" Chase says "it's okay, if the collar is here and he really was stolen it wasn't your fault" Harper says "it was if I had taken care of him" Chase says worried.
Harper smiles a little when she sees that Chase really cares about this, it's enough for her not to get mad, but she still looks upset.
"Look, I'm going to find him, it doesn't matter if it takes a day or weeks, but I'm not going to rest until I fix this!" Chase says with his hands on her shoulders, looking her in the eyes, Harper smiles slightly.
"okay" she says quietly "come on let's watch the security footage" Chase says going to the HyperLift, Harper and Leo go with him.
......................................................................
Bree and Kaz arrive at the bar and stand at the entrance watching the rain and getting soaked.
"Wow! I didn't expect this rain" Kaz says "neither did I" Bree says twisting her hair.
"So..." Kaz says "so" Bree says sighing and leaning against the wall, Kaz sighs and clears his throat.
"Bree, I just wanted to say, thank you for making that night one of the most amazing nights of my life " Kaz chuckles "Thank you too, I've never had so much fun" Bree looks down blushing
"Look, but we only did that because we promised it wouldn't drive us away but I feel like we're not keeping that promise" Kaz says.
"I know, But know that when I said that thing about never happening I didn't mean It" Bree says "Really?" Kaz asks.
"yes, but I care a lot about you Kaz, I care a lot and I don't want to ruin what we've always had because of this" Bree says "I know, I don't either" Kaz says.
"I think we just need to stop making a big deal out of this, like it was really good but we need to stop thinking about it and just keep a good memory and continue what we've always been" Bree says.
"ok I get it, Let's continue being friends who already made out, and that's okay" Kaz says "It doesn't mean we care less about each other because of it" Bree says.
"yes, I think maybe this just proves that we care about each other a lot..." Kaz says thoughtfully, Bree closes her eyes and sighs loudly.
"I'm just...I've always been big mess about it " Bree hangs her head, her forehead is still dripping with rainwater.
"Hey, it's okay, I like it, Messy" Kaz approaches her and lifts her head by grabbing her chin, making her look at him.
Kaz stays very close to her and Bree puts her hand on his chest holding his mission suit.
"If there is anyone who will understand your mess, it will always be me, okay?" Kaz says gently, looking into her eyes while his thumb on her chin lightly caresses her bottom lip "'kay" Bree says softly.
"and I know I'm invading your personal space in a way that friends don't, but let's be honest I've been closer than that, so I think we've put an end to that barrier" Kaz says, Bree laughs and pushes him lightly "idiot" Bree says.
Suddenly one of the guys from the bar comes out "Hey, are you two going to stay there in the rain or are you going to buy something?" The guy says no very friendly.
"Uh let's go?" Kaz ask "okay" Bree says they both go in and everyone in the bar looks at them.
It's a biker bar, Bree and Kaz smile awkwardly, one of the bikers gets up and walks towards them with an unsympathetic look.
"Are you cops!?" He asks, inhaling a cigarette. "No, sir," Kaz says.
"and what's with those uniforms?" The guy lets out smoke. "We're bionic, sir" Bree says.
"Listen, young lady, if you're here to take one of us back to prison..." "Of course not, sir... sorry, what's your name?" Kaz ask.
"They call me El Matador...you'd like to guess why boy?" El Matador smoke in Kaz's face, he coughs "No No I think it's pretty self-explanatory" Kaz says
......................................................................
✨Pedro Pascal as Jack "El Matador"✨
......................................................................
"And who are you?" El Matador asks "Oh, we're using the invented name, okay, so I'm the Matchhead" Kaz smiles excitedly at Bree.
"really? Still with this?" Bree says "El Cabeza De Fósforo if you will" Kaz chuckles "Kaz! Just stop talking!" Bree says.
"Sir Matador, we're not here after any of you, we just came to get something and we we came here just to protect ourselves from the rain" Bree says.
"So no connection with the police?" Matador asks "Nope" Kaz says "Ah, why didn't you say it right away!" El Matador hugs them both.
"Hey Juan, a drink for these two, on me!" El Matador says "Wait, how old are you?" He asks, Bree and Kaz look at each other.
"Oh fuck it, you guys aren't cops anyway" Matador laughs "Thanks Matador" Kaz says.
"oh call me Jack" Jack says "Jack It is!" Kaz says "wow that went from 0 to 100 really fast" Bree says "don't even tell me" Kaz sighs in relief.
......................................................................
At Mission Command, Harper, Chase and Leo look at security footage.
"Okay still nothing" Chase says "nothing here" Leo says "here!" Harper says and points to the footage.
The footage shows Perry entering the house, seeing Newton alone and removing his collar.
"Perry!?" Chase says, the footage shows Perry leaving with Newton in his arms.
"She stole our cat!" Harper says "I knew it!" Leo says "no, I didn't!" Chase says.
"maybe but a part of me deep down knew it could only have been her!" Leo says.
"Oh, now I'm going to kill her, let's go!" Harper says irritated and leaves "and as always I'm going to watch whit pleasure" Leo says.
......................................................................
They go to Perry's apartment, Harper angrily knocks on her door.
"TERRY!!" Harper says, Perry opens the door.
"Give me back my cat!" Harper says "what cat?" Perry says "Oh don't play dumb Terry" Chase says emphasizing her name.
"We saw the footage of you stealing my cat!" Chase says, Harper can't help but smile when Chase refers to Newton as his cat.
"I didn't even know you had a cat" Perry says "Uhg that's enough get out of the way!" Harper walks past Perry.
"Hey you can't come in like that!" Perry says "Look who's talking, cat thief!" Leo says, in Perry's room there are at least five of her cats, including Newton.
"Newton!" Harper says she tries to go to him but Chase passes her faster "Newton there you are!" Chase takes the cat in his arms and hugs him.
Harper looks at him in surprise "I'm sorry I yelled at you little guy, but don't ever scare me like that again" Chase says, Harper approaches.
Chase looks at her and clears his throat "here he is" Chase hands Newton to Harper and scratches the back of his head, Harper hugs Newton.
"Are all these cats yours? Or did you steal them too?" Leo asks "So why did you steal Newton if you have all these cats?" Chase says, Perry sighs.
"because when I was a little girl my dream was to have a cat like that, but my parents never bought me one and I remember being very sad, when I saw him I saw my chance to make the dream of that little girl I was come true" Perry says, everyone looks at each other.
"Really?" Leo raises his eyebrow "I don't fall for that" Chase says "that's the second biggest bullshit I've ever heard" Harper says.
"Everyone here knows that you only did this because you are a wicked little woman!" Leo says.
"Well, to be honest, every time I see an abandoned cat alone I need to adopt it, and I thought he would be better off in a more suitable environment" Perry says.
"The right environment for him is with us, where he wants and should stay! Now let's go before any more nonsense comes out of your mouth!" Harper says irritated, Chase looks seriously at Perry.
Leo before leaving takes Perry's cat "hey what are you doing Dooley?" Perry says "taste your own medicine" Leo says.
"Dooley!!" Perry screams and Leo runs away and Perry chases him.
......................................................................
Meanwhile Bree and Kaz are still at the bar with Jack and the other bikers, at this point Bree and Kaz have become friends with practically everyone there.
Bree is playing a game of pool against some of them and she is winning them all which is making her gain their respect.
Kaz was playing with her but took a break and sits with Jack at the bar.
"Do you want to smoke one?" Jack offers Kaz a cigarette "No thanks man, I don't smoke" Kaz says "Fine" Jack says lighting the cigarette.
They watch Bree win another game of pool "Woah! Come on, boys, is this your first time playing? Because that's no excuse, it's mine and it's been a success" Bree laughs.
"It's beginner luck" one of the guys says "you call it that and I'll call it talent" Bree says confidently, the guys laugh, Jack chuckles.
"Your girlfriend is pretty badass" Jack says taking a sip of drink "she's not my gir....Yes she is amazing" Kaz smiles.
"I liked you kid, I hope you show up here more" Jack says "oh I really want to come back here" Kaz says.
Suddenly they hear the sound of a truck "Oh no!" Kaz says he runs up to Bree at the pool table.
"Bree! The mission!" Kaz says "Oh no the truck!" Bree says she and Kaz go outside the bar, now it's not raining anymore and the truck is coming from far away.
"Damn, we got distracted and forgot about the mission" Kaz says "what mission?" Jack leaves the bar.
"our mission was to get something from that truck" Bree says "Well, he's quite far away, if you want I can lend you my bike, it's the fastest in the region" Jack says.
"Woah!" Kaz smiles "Thanks Jack, but actually I have sup..." Bree is interrupted by Kaz who puts his hand over her mouth.
"Bree when El Matador offers to borrow his bike, you lend his bike!" Kaz says, Bree roll her eyes.
They go to Jack's motorcycle.
Kaz gets on the bike "Do you know how to ride a motorcycle?" Bree asks "a first time for everything, right?" Kaz chuckles.
"watch out for her, that bike is the love of my life" Jack says "Aw next time we see you we'll get you a real girlfriend" Bree smirk, Jack glares at her with a smile.
"Take care of yourselves, you two" Jack says "It was amazing meeting you Jack" Bree says getting on the bike.
"It's not a goodbye, just a see you later" Jack winks, Kaz starts the bike and in shock Bree hugs him on the back.
"Wow you better hold on, Messy" Kaz says, Bree rolls her eyes she knows Kaz won't forget that nickname anytime soon.
The two take off on a motorcycle behind the truck, raising dust from the road.
Jack watches them and only hears Kaz's screams of celebration as he drives the motorcycle.

"yeah, and why it took so long the mission was just sitting and waiting" Chase says "Well actually it's a very good story we'll tell you later" Kaz says.
"yeah, but first I need to take a nap I'm exhausted from...sitting and waiting" Bree says and leaves.
