This is set after series 6, and Dan and Zoe are NOT together, and neither are Tom and Aneisha, although there will be plenty of Zan and Toneisha moments in the story; especially in the later chapters :)

It's a bit of a different style of story to my others, but i really enjoyed writing this chapter and i hope you guys enjoy reading it :)

"Stella!" Said Dan down his earpiece. "Which way? They'll be onto us any minute now!"

Back at HQ Stella searched around the cluttered desk, frantically searching for the map of the KORPS base.

She snatched it out the pole and her brain desperately tried to make sense of the mess of lines that covered the sheet. "Err left!" She shouted down the earpiece.

Dan looked at the others and they raced down a deserted corridor...straight into the Crime Minister and about 100 KORPS thugs.

"Stella you sent us straight into the Crime Minister." Dan hissed down the headpiece.

Stella looked at the map again and realised with a start that she'd been reading it upside down.

She swallowed. "Sorry Dan." She said glumly resting her head in her hands despairingly. -

Dan immediately pushed Zoe and Tom behind him protectively, watching as the approaching troops marched closer and closer. He reached for Aneisha and watched in despair as she was pulled forward by the Crime Minister.

"No Aneisha!" He saw Tom move forward to try and reach her, but a big burly guard stopped him almost immediately.

Out of the corner if his eye he saw Zoe begin to move forward and he wrapped his arms round her waist, holding her back as she struggled desperately. "Dan! We have to go and get her! We can't just leave her!" She cried frantically.

After a moment or so she calmed down and he let her go. "We can't do anything." He said quietly.

She looked up at him, then to Aneisha and sighed, before nodding resignedly.

She watched in fear as the Crime Minister tied her best friend to a weird looking machine and her heart filled with dread. Zoe looked to the side and saw Dan watching them, determination clear in his eyes and was filled with a sudden urge to hold his hand.

Focus, she told herself. This could be the end of you and your team and all you can think about is Dan, she scolded herself.

She saw Dan smile slightly and knew that Frank was on his way. That wouldn't make a difference if they couldn't stop the Crime Minister torturing Aneisha, she thought to herself.

"Daniel Morgan." The Crime Minister said slowly, walking towards him.

Dan lifted his chin slightly. He wasn't scared of her.

The crime minister circled him purposefully. "I see you're in charge this mission. Bad choice I have to say...well excellent for me obviously. Oh I do love MI9 and their utter stupidity." She laughed before turning to Zoe.

"Ahh! V95!" She exclaimed. "I was hoping the process of putting the Mastermind inside you would kill you." She sniffed. "Apparently not. Your little boyfriend over here made sure of that."

Zoe rolled her eyes. "He's not my boyfriend." The crime minister pulled a face. "Yes, you said that last time."

She moved over to Tom. "Thomas Tupper." She said in surprise. "You're a bit out of your comfort zone aren't you?" She noted. "If you want Aneisha to live, I would keep well back." She advised before turning to her new scientist general. "Do it."

The scientist moved forward silently and stuck a needle in Aneisha's arm.

"What have you done to her?" Asked Tom angrily. The crime minister smiled evilly at him. "Nothing much...just injected her with a truth serum and a tracker that both last forever."

She seemed quite pleased with herself as she turned back to Aneisha. "Where is your HQ?"

Aneisha's eyes darted around frantically as she tried to stop her mouth from speaking. "Saint Heart's School." She found herself saying. "Caretakers cupboard. light switch is the thumbprint scanner. Pull the mop handle to activate the lift."

The crime minister cackled. "Excellent dear. You've been very helpful." She turned to the general. "Activate th-"

BANG!

Frank ran into the warehouse followed by a large group of MI9 agents and pulled his ID out. "MI9..You're under arrest!"

The crime minister let out an annoyed cry and disappeared into a hazy fog. Tom ran over to Aneisha and began undoing the bonds that held her in place.

"I'm so sorry Tom!" she said quickly. "I just can't stop myself!"

He shook his head. "Don't worry about it. Let's get out of her, find a cure for you and then talk, ok?" he smiled at her and she nodded gratefully.

Meanwhile, Dan and Zoe were making quick work of the several KORPS agents surrounding them. Without the Crime Minister they seemed to be a little unnerved and looked slightly overwhelmed by what was happening.

Zoe grinned at Dan before roundhouse kicking the last agent to the floor. "You'd think they'd be slightly better trained than that." she noted.

Dan shrugged. "Well I'm not complaining." he pointed out with a smiles faded as they looked around the now nearly empty room and realised the Crime Minister was gone.

Zoe sighed. "Maybe next time." she said quietly.

Frank approached them briskly. "I doubt there will be a next time. KORPS now know the location of our base AND how to access it. For everyone's safety we need to close MI High and leave immediately. It's too dangerous to stay anywhere near London now that Aneisha is being tracked. We've already got scientists working out the range of the tracker." he sighed. "We need to stay out of that range until the cure for Aneisha can be found. All of you do."

Dan and Zoe glanced at each other before Dan spoke. "Do you have an estimated range?" he asked quietly.

Frank swallowed. "At least 200 miles."

"200 miles?!" they said in unison.

"Soo we have to stay at a place at least 200 miles away from every KORPS base in the country?" asked Zoe and Frank nodded.

"Is that even possible?" Dan asked, running a hand through his blonde hair anxiously.

Frank sighed. "Well there is one place that we can stay..."

Hope you guys liked it! There will be more on it's way don't worry :)

Review please!
