"Adam, are you really sure we don't need any of the equipment?"
Chen stood where the main control center used to be, in front of that array of screens, his right hand holding Adam's small hand.
"Yep! Gibbs and the others told me a long time ago, I was designed this way." Adam nodded vigorously.
"Okay, then, would you like to help me?" Chen turned around, squatted down, facing Adam with both hands cradling his cheeks.
"Um... I want to go see the ocean! Sit on a sailboat and fish!"
"Of course you can."
"I also want to climb mountains! The highest peaks!"
"Of course you can."
"I want to fly a plane!"
"Of course you can."
"And I want to..." Adam tilted his head and thought for a long time, "well, I want it all!"
"I—will give you everything, Adam, as long as you can get out of here with me."
"Okay!" Adam smiled happily and nodded vigorously.
"Then, let's start."
Chen stood up, pulling Adam with him to the front of the light screen.
