Toms POV:
Maths class with Mrs King, I couldn't think of anything more boring. I can see Neish blushing as her aunt hands Keri extra homework & roars at Preston for being late to class again, I don't know what he's been up to lately but he's never normally late. We're doing fractions, nothing I couldn't have done when I was seven but Keri seems to be struggling so I lean over to help and notice her pencil buzzing,
"I feel Ill Mrs King," I say and rush out of class closely followed by the others.
Keri's POV:
As I pull the lever & we plummet down to HQ now wearing spy outfits I wonder to myself what the mission might be, I love being a spy. My happiness is ruined when we step out of the lift & see frank looking very serious.
"Which one of you is responsible for this!" He shouts, holding up a copy of the daily mail, I've never heard frank shout before. I wonder where Stella is before looking at the headline. 'MI9s security is getting sloppy',it reads. The subtitle 'schoolboy discovers base underneath his school & tells us everything!'
There's a picture of Preston and the article is 2 columns long! Schoolboy tells us about a supposedly 'secret' MI9 base underneath his school. Preston jones, aged 15, reported the strangely located MI9 base to us yesterday afternoon. MI9 have really done it this time, what will be next, conferences in assembly rooms? I look at the others in horror.
"None of us told Preston frank, we would never do that, he must have found out on his own!" Exclaims Aneisha, clearly as worried as I am.
"He must have followed you here" frank says, "I'm very disappointed in you." That stung, I'd never want to make frank unhappy, but we have really messed up if Preston did follow us, it doesn't seem quite right though, dan always checks there's no-one looking before we go into the storeroom.
"Will we lose our jobs?" I ask, frank doesn't answer, just turns the page.
"Pictures of HQ!" He says, "from Preston's phone," I look closer at the pictures,
"There's Tom!" I say pointing to the second picture where Tom is typing at his computer.
"Your very lucky he didn't recognise you" said frank.
Before he can say anymore Stella walks in looking extremely flustered.
"On the way here" she says, pausing for breath "I have acquired a webpage devoted to pictures of me looking angry, two fake Facebook accounts & one twitter, angrystella" she finishes, glaring at us. "All this outrage about the base has made the reporters ten times worse than ever before, they followed me home last night!" Tom types something into his computer and brings the webpage up laughing at the first picture, where Stella is wearing a pink dressing gown and holding a cup of coffee, she is glaring fiercely at the camera but she just can't seem scary.
"This is not a laughing matter!" Says frank trying not to smile at the picture.
Stellas POV:
Tom tries the twitter next, and bursts out laughing again at something else. I've had enough.
"Agent Tupper!" I shout bringing his attention to me instead of the screen, he snaps a picture of me on his spy pod and starts uploading it to the website. I want to burst into tears but that would be unprofessional, I look to frank for help but he too is doing something on his computer. Luckily Aneisha steps in.
"Your being very disrespectful tom!" She says sharply "stop uploading that now!" Tom squirms in his seat and cancels the upload just before it finishes. I give Aneisha a look of thanks and check to see what frank is doing, still on his computer.
"So,will we lose our jobs?" Dan asks.
"No" I reply, the young spies looking at me in amazement and relief "if you can complete this mission."
"What do we have to do?" Questions Keri excitedly.
"Frank" I say, waiting. He looks over at me from his computer,
"Webpage down, both facebooks removed, and the twitter." He says proudly, "in under 5 minutes." I want to give him a hug, but I can't, I don't think we could be together even if it was permitted, I love him so much, but I just don't know how he feels.
Franks POV:
"Thanks to my new gadget, the hypnotising headband, you won't lose your jobs, all you have to do is put this on Preston and convince him to forget all about the base and go to the daily mail saying he made it all up. But you will all have warnings on your files, this is too close agents." I hand Keri the headband, praying that it will work.
"Let's go" says dan excitedly, and they all run to the lift, leaving me and Stella alone. I want to ask her out, tell her I still love her but I don't know how, I look over at her having her second cup of coffee, still beautiful even after the morning she's had I think to myself. I sit down next to her, noticing she looks worried.
"It'll be OK" I say.
"I hope so, I care about them as much as you do, but I can't quite believe they'd let this happen." She replies.
"I know, it doesn't seem right, dan always checks their not being watched before they go into the storeroom."
"I'm sure they'll get your headband onto Preston in time, meanwhile, do you want to go for a walk? I need some fresh air."
"Yes me too" I agree picking up my communicator and handing Stella hers, I hope I'll have the chance to ask her out, I just want to be with her again, I love her so much but I think she's moved on.
