Chaper 1
Nero sat at his desk, studying the recent year's reports. So far it had been a good year. There had only been five fires, three explosions and two escape attempts. And, thankfully, there hadn't been a single attack on the school.
So far, Nero reminded himself. Four months did not account for the full year. And if recent years had anything to go by, they were due for an unscheduled visit, probably from some vicious thugs who were intent on seizing H.I.V.E., armed to the teeth with lethal weapons and controlled by some former G.L.O.V.E member, gone rogue.
An insistent bleeping suddenly broke Nero from his troublesome thoughts. He sighed and rubbed at his eyes with one hand. Sometimes his life could become very stressful indeed. But then again, he wouldn't give up his job even if he had been given the chance.
Nero put down the reports he'd been reading and hit a button on his desk. The screen in front of him lit up with H.I.V.E. mind's blue wireframe face. The A.I looked worried.
"Yes H.I.V.E. mind?" Nero asked, a sense of foreboding gnawing away at him.
"I was filtering through some recent news reports when I came across something that may be of some interest to you." The A.I replied.
"And that would be...?" Nero prompted when H.I.V.E. mind didn't continue. The A.I cocked his head to one side, seeming to make a descision. A frown flickered across his face.
"H.I.V.E. mind Why don't you just tell me and get it over with?" Nero sighed.
"Because you may not want to know." He replied.
"Meaning?" Nero asked, alarm bells ringing in his head.
"Well, it won't particularly affect the running of this facility and..." Here H.I.V.E. mind faltered.
"And...?" Nero asked, a touch of impatience edging into his voice.
"I'll just show you." The A.I whispered, head bowed. His wireframe face was then replaced by what looked like some sort of news footage.
The scene showed the outside of a police station, surrounded by media of all sorts. Lights flashed in the background as reporters took photographs. A row of policemen held them back, clearing a path to a car sitting parked in the road.
A female woman began to talk, relating what was happening to the public. Nero couldn't hear what she was saying. For whatever reason, H.I.V.E. mind had put the video on mute. As she glanced back towards the doors of the building, they were suddenly flung open by two policecops.
The picture quality became fuzzy as the cameraman tried to find a good position to stand and capture the moment. The backs of heads and arms could be seen blocking the view of whoever was now being escorted to the car. Nero watched with a mixture of confusion and curiosity.
The row of guards holding the reporters back, pushed them even further and the camera was knocked from the man's hands. It fell onto the steps leading up to the building on it's side facing the car.
At this point the prisoner had reached the vehicle. They were wearing a hoody that covered their face, hiding their features. One of the policemen opened the door and the person climbed in.
The hood of their top was scraped back by the doorframe as they sat down. It fell around their shoulders and the person's face was visible for the split second before the door was shut.
It was unmistakable.
Pale skin. Blue eyes. Brown shoulder length hair.
Nero's eyes widened in shock and disbelief, as H.I.V.E. mind's face reappeared.
"Tell me that was fake." He said, frowning.
"I'm afraid not." The A.I replied. "What do you want me to do?"
"Erm... Nothing. Just... Actually... There is something that you can do."
"Anything, Dr Nero."
"Get that boy to H.I.V.E. I don't care what it takes. Send Natalya if you must. But I want him in my office by the end of the day."
Did you think it was good, bad tell me!
You know what you have to do!
Review! (that rhymed)
