"Dan? Whats she doing?" Zoe asked, though it was clear by the venom in her voice that she knew exactly what was going on.

Keri stared at the new girl in fascination. "So you must be Zoe!"

"Yeah, you got that right. What are you doing with MY boyfriend?" Zoe jabbed Keri in the chest, and she staggered back, taken by surprise. She would've fallen if Dan hadn't caught her. Zoe glared at him.

"Oh, so now she's your girlfriend, is she, Dan? How long have you been cheating on me? Ever since I left?"

"What was I meant to do, Zoe, let her fall?!"

"You were kissing her a second ago! If I'm your girlfriend-"

Keri scoffed, and Zoe paused to look at her. "What do you want, stupid? Got something in that little airhead of yours?"

"Er, well, lets see. You left for 3 months, leaving Dan, completely heartbroken, and didn't contact him, or anyone for that matter! Then you just come parading back in here like you're the Queen of Sheba, and expect everything to be OK between you and Dan? I don't think so! He's moved on, and so should you!"

Zoe put her hands on her hips. "And who do you think you are?"

Before Keri could reply, the rest of the team came parading in. "Zoe, the redhead is your younger sister, Keri! She's the Mastermind's match! And I think you already know who-" Tom stopped in his tracks and stared at the scene before him. Keri and Zoe had NOT got off to a good start.

Zoe and Keri stared each other down, until Frank finally broke the silence.

"Zoe, Keri is your replacement. We hired her after Dan saved her from a crazy man called the Scientist general." After Frank had said this, he realised this wasn't the wisest thing to say. "Also Aneisha and Tom. It was a field mission," he added hoping to correct the mistake he had made. Zoe hadn't heard. Instead, she crossed her arms.

"What?" snapped Keri, standing straighter, as if to say, Bring it on.

"Oh, now that I'm here, you have to leave. Like Frank said, you were a replacement. A temporary replacement. Off to a care home you go, little sister."

Keri looked over at Frank, who was avoiding her gaze. Stella looked particularly guilty. Zoe was telling the truth.

"What? NO! You cant do this to me!" She ran out, sobbing. Zoe whipped around to face Dan.

"And YOU, you lying, cheating-"

"Oh, shut up. You're not the person I fell in love with," Dan snapped.

Zoe looked surprised for a moment, before a sneer landed back on her face.

"See? This is what I'm talking about! The Zoe I fell in love with was gentle, kind and considerate. But she also had a fire burning in her heart, which let her take care of any one who wanted to harm her! You've turned into a monster! You made your own sister cry, who, might I add, didn't know we were still together! I didn't know we were still together!"

Dan ran out after Keri, intending to find her. Tom put his hand on Zoe's shoulder.

"Are you OK?" he asked her. They were like brother and sister. She looked at everyone, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Dan's right. I've turned into a monster! I have to talk to him-to both of them!" And she went after Dan.

"Well, I cant say MI9 isn't less interesting than KORPS..." Rosa said, breaking the silence. "Should we do something?"

"Just a day in the life of MI9, Rosie," Stella said, turning away. "Just an average day."

Keri sat on a bench in a secluded little area in the school. She hadn't told anyone about it, not even Dan. She liked to think of it as her secret place, her own piece of mind.

What really bugged her was how mean Zoe was! All those lovely stories about puppies, and rescue shelters (if you want me to write drabbles on those, then just say)! Where was THAT Zoe?

And Frank! He talked about Zoe like she was his own daughter! Aneisha clearly adored the Zoe in her memories, and Tom had told her she was really nice and calm and patient! And yet, here she was, crying in a little space between the school and some houses!

Her train of thought was broken when Dan rounded the corner, yelling her name.

"KERI! Keri, please come back! I'm sure she didn't mean it! Let's just go back to base, and talk, please! We can solve this, all of us! Don't do this to me Keri, I'm confused enough about my feelings for you already!"

At that last statement, Keri readied herself to jump out. She froze when Zoe came.

"DAN! KERI! There you are, I've been looking all over for you!" She said. Dan turned, his face etched with worry.

"I cant find Keri!"

"WHAT?! Oh, no! I have to talk to her! I was so mean back there! I just don't know what got into me! I need to apologise, this guilt is eating me alive!"

Dan smiled at Zoe, much to Keri's envy. "What?" She said, frowning at him.

"That is more like the Zoe I know," he said softly. Zoe took his hands in hers. Keri gritted her teeth.

"Lets find Keri, and try to resolve this issue," she said firmly. "I'll take the left wing, you the right. She cant evade both of us at the same time."

Keri sat back down. How much more wrong can you get, SISTER?

"Zoe, you know I'll always be your friend, right? In case we don't work out?"

"Of course. Friends forever." They grabbed each other's hands and clapped each other on the back. "Now, Operation: Find Keri, execute!" And they ran in opposite directions.

Keri jumped out of her hidey-hole and walked to the schools front gate. She let herself out using her spypod, and walked out of school. She was so busy being angry, she didn't notice some masked figures, both male and female, following her, until they grabbed her on the shoulder.

"Hello, K3R1," one of them said. They jabbed her with a syringe, and darkness overtook her.
