Previously on Double Crossed:

"Gary, what's going on?" Alex demanded, as three strange penguins hurried into the EPF's secret headquarters. "The red one says that he's in charge of the EPF now."

Gary nodded and looked at Alex and the other agents, who were in his office.

The three penguins, who had just entered the agency this morning, looked at Gary with a cold stare.

"Traitor" muttered the dark green penguin, standing to the right of the red penguin who claimed to be in charge.

You aren't the traitor, Gary, Alex's glance read.

I was the one who brought him into the EPF, Gary's look responded, besides it's only protocol.

Alex blinked, protocol? Gary, this is way serious! They think you may be working for Herbert. That's just crazy and I'll prove them wrong.

Gary sighed and looked at Alex with a stern glance, you'll do nothing of the sort, agent. I suggest you stay low and don't attract too much attention.

Why? Alex asked, confused.

You were the one who met him first, Gary replied, you trained him. They'll be after you next

"No sir, it's all true" Alex answered, nervously rubbing his coffee cup with his fin. "I took the liberty of checking it out myself."

Alex is one Tech leaders at the agency. He's also been around since the PSA. He just announced his suspicion about Henry, Gary's new assistant, of being a double agent.

"What proof do you have to back this all up?" asked the Director, on the screen.

Alex brought out a file that was on his lap.

"You might say that he's been helping us out on our previous cases." Alex exclaimed, "but in reality, he's only given us clues that lead to Herbert."

Everyone took a look at the contents in the file and started to talk to each other. Alex quietly sat down again.

Jet pack guy let go of the penguin, who quickly went to retrieve his hat. The green penguin dusted off his propeller hat and put it back on his head.

"What's going on here?" He demanded, " Is this a VIM (very important meeting)? Why wasn't I informed?"

Rookie tripped over the boxes again and landed on his back.

"Rookie!" Dot exclaimed, "Are you okay?"

Rookie got up and hurried out the door.

"I'm not sure" he answered, to no one in particular.

"Who's that?" Rebecca asked.

"Oh you don't know?" Henry stated, "that's Agent Lake Blue1. She's a fifth class operative. Lake Blue1 specializes in both the Tactical and Comm lead. She also keeps penguins in line...including Herbert or so I've been told."

"If she's a level five agent, what is she doing here?" Rebecca asked, "shouldn't she be on a some type of secret mission?"

Henry shrugged, "Who's to say she's not?"

"Herbert may not be doing things at this moment but he has done some bad things in the past and has escaped numerous arrest." Joe interceded.

There was a few seconds of silence that fell in the room before Mr. PoodleX450 spoke again.

"Unless you catch him in the act again, we are not going after Herbert!" He stated, "I will not send out any highly trained agents to capture a silly polar bear that isn't a high security threat right now. You guys can leave now.

When they left, Mr. PoodleX450 took out his cellphone.

"Hello...I need you to do me a favor" Mr. PoodleX450 stated, "It's better if we meet up somewhere. I'm at the agency and I don't like to be spied on by a security camera. Okay let's meet at the pizza parlor at three o' clock tomorrow. All right then...see you soon."

A black penguin walked in. He looked around and then spotted Mr. PoodleX450 and sat down at a table behind him.

"Why did you want to see me?" The black penguin asked.

"We found him," Mr. PoodleX450 informed him. "It won't be long before they..."

"ROGER!" Shouted a voice, from behind Mr. PoodleX450. "What are you doing here?"

"I just want answers!" Blastfire246 demanded, "Who were you meeting with? Where's Herbert? What is he planning?"

Roger stayed silent and listened to the mine cart as it squeaked down the rail.

"I'll answer just one question..." he remarked, "There's a penguin in your agency that doesn't belong there. We're going make sure he doesn't escape again."

"Who are you talking about? Who's we?" Blatfire246 answered, but Roger had left without him knowing.

"It's still quite fresh." Chip stated, "When did you get it?"

"Uh around lunch time...two...fifty I think." Rookie answered, busy destroying and replacing cannons in the areas Chip pointed out.

"Did you see Blastfire246?" He asked, looking back at the screen.

"I uh...I think I saw him enter the Pizza Parlor around three before I teleported back here." Rookie said, "You know Mr. PoodleX450 was there too. I asked him if he was heading back to HQ and he said no."

Rookie was to busy playing system defenders to notice that Chip had quietly slipped away.

"Open your eyes, agent." A voice snapped, in the darkness.

"Gary?" He asked.

"Please, not even close." The penguin said.

"You're bored, aren't you?" Blastfire246 stated, making the penguin stop in his tracks. "Why?"

The penguin laughed and then turned around.

"So you're in the Comm lead, okay." The penguin marked, "I'm bored. Not just you're average boredom but like I'm bored of Club Penguin. Everything is just so predictable. There's always a good ending to everything."

"Are you working for Herbert?" Blastfire246 asked.

"That old bear? Why would I? His inventions are incredibly lame anyway." He mocked, "Even a puffle could make better machines. You know come to think of it...ironically that's what he did try and do. The Heater3000. Hm what are the odds."

"Well if you're bored of Club Penguin...why don't you just leave?" Blastfire246 countered, still a little confused.

The penguin looked at him with a cold stare.

"You think I have a choice?"

With that the penguin disappeared into the darkness but Blastfire246 followed him.

"Wow this is really strong!" Rookie said, noticing how he was sliding toward the fish hole.

"Uh...what happened to the Mullet?" Rookie asked, tossing the object aside.

He was about to put the fishing hook back into the hole when he noticed the object was still working. It looked like a really old computer. Curious, Rookie went over and wondered how it was still in a pretty good condition. He started to search the computer's data and discovered something of interest.

As Rookie continued fishing, a penguin appeared and silently slid the computer away from the lake. The penguin searched through the files and quickly downloaded all of the data onto a memory stick. Then he smashed the computer to pieces.

"Here it is...the evidence," the penguin laughed quietly. "We've been looking for this for a long time."

"So...you found this crazy loop hole that involves the new recruits," Rebecca stated. "You want them to uh find out what Herbert is up to and capture him...without ANY TRAINNG?!"

"See I knew you'd take it well," Jet pack Guy remarked.

Rebecca's head was swarming with questions but the one that topped them all was, you're joking right. There's no way three inexperienced penguins can sneak into Herbert's lair and capture an almost uncatchable villain without training!

"So...you're in?" Joe asked.

"I am...but on two conditions," She added. "First, the trainees get to choose if they're up to the task. Secondly, they'll have training...I'll stop it after a certain course. That way they learn what they need to know for the task but they won't be completely trained."

Joe thought about it and then nodded in agreement.

"All right then after your survival course," Joe confirmed. "You're trainees are mine."

"I just...I'm picking up a few things that Gary left behind. That's all and Mr. PoodleX450 isn't going to like it. I don't want you to get in trouble."

"Oh...you're breaking into his office," Rookie remarked. "You could get in really big trouble."

Alex looked through Mr. PoodleX450's desk and grabbed out a piece of paper.

"Exactly and I don't want you to get in trouble if I get caught." Alex added, "please just go back to your desk."

"All right," Rookie replied sullenly.

"I'm leaving," she informed. "The Director is assigning me else where."

"Why?" Blastfire246 asked.

"Top Secret for now, I'm afraid."

Rebecca was about to answer when there was some rustling in the trees.

"Change of plans." A penguin stated from out of the bushes. "We need them now. Mr. PoodleX450 just arrested Jet Pack Guy and now he's looking for me and Celia73."

"What! What's going on?" Rebecca asked. "Why?"

"I think Mr. PoodleX450 just ended his little Charade."

Blastfire246 headed over to Alex's new igloo with Chip. They found Alex shoving papers into a filing 246 looked at him quizzically. Something was off. Suddenly something came crashing into the window. Glass scattered everywhere.

"Shoot! I didn't think they'd find us so fast!" Alex shouted, hurrying over to the broken window.

"Alex, what are you talking about?" Blastfire246 asked, as Alex picked up the package that broke the window.

Alex opened the package and gasped.

"What's wrong? What is it?" Chip asked.

Alex tossed the box on the counter.

"It's the bracelet." He answered, gloomily.

"Alex, what is going on?" Blastfire246 asked.

Alex looked at the two penguins and sighed.

"Ever heard of T.A.G.?"
