"Not so tough anymore now, eh?" the man hissed in Joe's ear, holding him in a tight lock and pushing him painfully against the wall.
Joe, aka Danger, just smiled his trademark smirk. "You sure of that?"
He quickly turned around, bowed down and with a flex of his muscles he had his strangler spread out on the floor.

"Nice one Danger!" Kevin yelled, running up to him. "Where's the Mr.?"
Joe looked around, yeah, where the heck was Nick?
"I don't know Kev, maybe..."

"Danger, duck!"

Quickly Joe let himself drop down on the floor. Kevin swinging a karate kick over his head, hitting one of their enemies straight in the jaw.
"Come on! Let's go find him." Kevin said while Joe jumped up again.

Together they ran up the black iron stairs, to the control centre.

Kevin kicked open the door, making it crack and swing open.
Immediately Nick's body flew through it. Hitting the safety fence of the stairs with a painful loud 'slam!'

"NICK!" Joe exclaimed.

Kevin hit him and yelled. "Mister!"

Damn, Joe thought, remembering he shouldn't have called Nick by his real name, instead of his agent name.

"Sorry!" He whispered. Getting a glare from Nick, pardon me, Mr. President.
"Don't stand there, get in! He almost broke the code!" Nick hissed, hands against his ribs.
"Roger that!" said Joe and he ran into the control centre of the Black Surrey Weapon factory.

They, the Jonas brothers, working for the World Peace Company (the company or WPC for short), were on a mission to stop Johnny Beckett, professional criminal and searched for in 17 countries, from stealing the code that would activate the weapons he stole from inobservant guards about a week ago. This was mission 'crack Beckett' code orange.

"Stop it right there Beckett!" shouted Joe, in full Danger mode.
"Yeah, keep screaming that, it might distract me." The sarcastic voice of Johnny Beckett said. Said criminal sat in front of a large, expensive looking vault. Looking terribly alike to somebody who was about to break the code that secured the vault.
He saw Kevin raise his StunGun, pointing it at Beckett. "Drop the Stethoscope, Beckett!" said Kevin.
"Or else what, you are going to electrocute me? Please!" The back of Beckett's brown haired head told them. Without turning around he said: "May-Su, Juan, get them!"

Nothing happened. "That's all you got Beckett? Lose threads?" Joe asked, almost surprised. Usually Beckett was more professional. A real traditional bandit, henchmen and weird weapons included.
Suddenly Kevin disappeared from Joe's side.
"K2?" said Joe, suspiciously. He turned around. Behind him stood two Asian looking people, Juan and May-Su. Beckett's long term henchman and woman. Juan was holding Kevin's unconscious body.

May-Su, Juan's sister, suddenly lunged at him.
Joe reacted immediately, he wasn't the man of action for nothing, and jumped at her.
He had fought with her before, he would defeat her again, but would it be in time to stop Beckett from getting to the codes?

Luckily, there was always Nick. Throwing a few of Leila's advanced pitchers at May-Su and Juan. The henchman and woman dropping down to the ground immediately.

I glanced at Kevin, seeing him blinking for consciousness. He'd be okay, so I switched my attention back to Beckett, who hadn't even noticed he was all alone now.
I grabbed Kevin's Stun Gun and fired it at Beckett, not bothering talking to him.
"Aaargh!" came the strangled yelp from Beckett, before he fell down against the vault.
The yelp was really unnecessary, the Stun Gun didn't hurt. Joe aught to know.

"Nice job Danger!" Nick said, walking over to the vault. "Now let's see what this baby's got."
He kneeled down, pressed Beckett's stethoscope against the vault-door and listened carefully. He pressed the code pad and not surprisingly, the door swung open.

"You did a pretty nice job too, Press." I smiled, walking back to Kevin and pulling him up.
"Yeah, I still wonder how you do it, but I'm glad you do it." Kevin said. I wondered, maybe he had hurt his head worse then I thought.
"If you are referring to how I opened the vault, then thank you, you were pretty awesome too K." Nick answered, grabbing a small USB-stick from the vault.

I laughed at the little piece of technology. Kevin's mouth almost dropped to the floor.
"We fought that hard, caught Johnny Beckett and lost our consciousness for that?" Kevin asked, looking at the stick.
"Jup." Nick said, popping the P.
Kevin sighed. Nick patted him reassuringly on his shoulder. "It's okay K. Let's go back to headquarters."
"Roger that, oh big team leader!" I saluted.
Both of my brothers rolled their eyes.

''—''—''—''—''—''

"Hey guys! Back already? That must be a record!" Frankie said, he's our little brother and he's already in the family business. He was bowed over a map, way to advanced for somebody his age, but he was a Jonas and had a talent. Frankie's talent was reading maps, planning routes and well; he basically could get in anywhere. That included our bedrooms.

We were standing in the heart of the Jonas's headquarter. It was where we got our missions, equipment, where we planned and trained.
Our headquarters was located in the basement of our house, witch was also pretty high tech, but the headquarters would make a techno-nerd have a heart attack.
In the middle of the room stood our main computer, the nerves of our system. It was one of the newest, smartest computers and got updated regularly. It had two pieces, a table piece; witch had the touch-monitor and could show us everything from maps to agent location. Even in 3D if we wanted. The upper piece had the scanner, analyzer and all the other super technology. We usually talked about the computer as Min.
In the rest of the main room hung gadgets, outfits, maps, closets full of files and our security system (controlled by Min)

"Nice work gentlemen!" the voice of our uncle and supervisor told us.
He was standing in the doorway across from us, wearing his usual Texan outfit, without the cowboy hat and noisy boots.
"Thanks." I said, walking over to Frankie, looking over his shoulder at the map.

"Museum?" I asked, surprised. Nick and Kevin, who were placing back their equipment, looked around.
"Yeah, we don't really know what the boss wants, but Leila got this mailed to her so Frankie's studying it now." Uncle Sean said, walking up to us and throwing 3 bottle's of water.
"Wonder what the boss wants with them?" Nick said, sitting down besides Frankie.

"Wonder what the boss means with what?" yet another voice from yet another doorway said. I looked to my right, in the doorway to the laboratory stood Leila, our Gadgetgirl. She was wearing her black lab coat. Her golden blonde hair in a ponytail.
She was the one that made our equipment, knew everything about computers, could do magic with technology. It was a real surprise when we had found her. She was good, way better although you probably don't want to say that out loud, then Nick.
The both of them basically created Min.

"the map." Uncle Sean answered. She walked over, rubbing her hands off with a white towel. She grabbed another white chair and sat down besides Nick.
"Yeah, I'm curious about that too, but you know the boss…" She trailed off, getting a sideways smile from Nick.
We all knew what she meant. Our boss was pretty mysterious. Probably for safety reasons or he just liked being annoying.

*pling-ding-ding*

"That's the boss!" Leila said happily, pushing a few upcoming icons on Min's touch screen.
Immediately a 3D image from our boss, of course blackened, appeared.
"Good day gentlemen and of course our lovely Leila!" the boss greeted. Leila smiled and gave an approving nod.
"Thank you, so you probably got another mission for us. That's pretty soon." Kevin said, absent minded drinking from his water.
"I know I usually give you a bit more time to rest, but our next mission is quite important, but will only require one person's energy.
"One person?" uncle Sean asked.
"One person on location, the rest of you will be helping him as best as possible from headquarters."
We all nodded.
"As you probably guessed, Joe will be the best choice for going in the field. There will not be fighting included, yet. No difficult problems or codes, so that excludes Nick and Kevin, you will be better use here, helping Joe from outside. Frankie has been studying the map so he will get Joe in the museum. From there on Joe's only guide is you guys. Nick, you'll be supervising and getting the codes for the security systems, Kevin will do the communication and the guards, Leila will, as usual, do the equipment and will also make sure nothing will notice Joe while inside the museum. Frankie will, as I said before, get Joe in through the easiest entrance. Clear?"

We all listened carefully to her and Nick made some notes.
"Roger, we're clear." He told the boss.
"Good, as expected. Okay, this mission is about the missing gemstones all around America. The company is suspecting one particular organisation is behind the robs. Using all different kinds of methods. You will be on that later, for now we're focused on stopping them from robbing the Los Angeles state museum, lately home to the greatest Sapphire known to mankind, the blue star. Joe, you will be swapping the real stone for a fake one that is currently on its way to your house. That will be your assignment for now, more information about the next parts of the mission will follow. Good luck gentlemen and woman."

The screen turned black.
"Cool!" I whispered.
"Yeah, the greatest sapphire known to mankind! That's awesome." Kevin dreamily said.
Nick, being the team leader, said: "come on guys we better get ready, it's getting quite late."
I couldn't help but grin. "night mission..." I whispered. Frankie chuckled.
"c'mon Joe, I'm gonna show you how to get in." He said pulling me back to the Min and pointing at some hand written changes he made in the map.
"you see, here…"

''—''—'''—''—''—''

"okay Danger, almost there. Nice job, Tank. Listen, when you get to the gemstone hallway, you have to swap the blue star with the replica in your bag." Nick's voice said my ear. I moved my hands from the holds witch kept me on the wall and moved my headset a little, similar to the one Nick was wearing right now.

I continued climbing up the side-wall of the Los Angeles state Museum, almost there.
"okay, from our information, the thief is probably on his own. He's not from that organisation itself, just recruited. Still be careful, we're talking about the world's largest sapphire. A lot of people would do a murder to get it." Nick continued.

I softly climbed onto the window-sill and placed the windowfreezer, an original Leila creation, on the window.
Immediately and soft as a whisper, the glass fell out of the frame.
" are there laser detectors inside?" I whispered, holding the glass.
I heard Nick repeat my question. The familiar voice of Leila told me no.

I climbed through the window, placing the glass back in the frame. "I'm in." I reported. Tiding my tight leather Jacket so it wouldn't touch anything I didn't wanted it to touch and get me caught.
"good, walk to the room on your right." Frankie told me. "That's the first gemstone room. Just walk straight ahead to the next hallway, in the middle will stand a white, glass pillar. That's your goal."
"thanks Tank. Over and Out." They wouldn't contact me now unless I send an S.O.S.
I walked over carefully to the room Frankie told me about. This one would have laser trackers.
I pulled a little U.S.B. stick from my pocket and placed it in the security pad on the right side of the door.
With a soft 'thod' the system disabled.

I smiled and muttered. "thanks Leila" under my breath. I hated getting through laser trackers.
seriously we had learned that, but it was really hard. This was way easier and cleaner.
I tiptoed over to the pillar.

Nothing was there.

The blue star was already gone. How was that possible?
"mr. President! We have a huge problem." I whispered into my microphone.

"what is it Danger?"
"the blue star's already gone!"

Silence

"what?"
"I said.." I started to explain, but got interrupted.
"I heard, look for it, maybe the thief's still in the building."

I didn't need more.
Immediately I turned around. Searching the corners of the room. Every shadow suddenly seemed to move.

"looking for this?" A voice suddenly told me. I turned around again, not sure where the voice was coming from.
"up here, moron." It said and a shadow seemed to fall from the ceiling.

He made a perfect landing, on the tip of his toes.
I saw a glimpse of silver eyes and a sarcastic smirk. "want it? Come and get it!" the particularly high voice told me. He was really small, they got younger and younger boys every day.
Unless this wasn't a boy, I realised. It was a girl. Surprising, girl criminals usually didn't steal like this. She was a professional, you could see. She was crouched into a cat like pose. I could clearly see her leg muscles beneath the fabric of her black pants
The girl jump-turned around and sprinted away, giggling. "I got the blue star! Come and get it pretty-face!" She whispered just loud enough for me to hear.

"don't do it Danger!" Nick warned, but the girl taunted me. I lunged after her. "Danger, no!" I heard Nick groan, but ignored him once again.

The girl was fast, really fast, but I was faster. I caught up to her in what seemed to be the Egyptian section. I jumped at her, gripping her around her waist and pulling her with me in my jump.
we flew across the floor, one of my hands securely around her body and the other trying to get a hold on the plastic floor.
Eventually my feet stopped us, right in front of a huge sarcophagus

I felt her breathing fast. "who's the pretty face now huh?" I whispered in her ear.
"never said it was a bad thing." Her harp voice sweetly told me. Before rolling over, over my body. Straight into the sarcophagus. Witch started tilting very dangerously. My eyes widened. It would alarm every guard in the museum if it fell over. I looked at the girl.

She sat about 3 feet away from me. On her heels, supporting herself with one hand, showing me a great blue diamond with the other. "Sorry, I think I need it more. Use the replica, no one will notice." Said the girl, before walking back to the corner of the room.
"maybe till next time, I really do hope so, you're a nice opponent…?"
"J-.. Danger…" I said dumbstruck.
She blew me a kiss. "good luck Danger."

Then, she disappeared in the shadows.
"what the…?" I exclaimed, but once again something had to interrupt me.

*boom*

the sarcophagus, damn.
"this may sound a little obvious…" Nick's voice said. "but I think you'd better run, it would take a lot of time and a load of paperwork to get you clean."
I groaned and raised my eyes to the ceiling.
"why does this stuff always happen to me?" I asked to no one in particular.
"Because you also get to meet the sexy female thieves, things have to even out."
I started running, throwing the fake sapphire out of my bag.
I might have been a little stupid this evening, but I wasn't THAT stupid.

I wrote this for you guys at like, really late, because I'm cool and weird like that.
R&R ^.^ I love you
