Daisy and Blane stand waiting in the poorly lit hanger with the rain lashing down beating down on the ground outside. The sky is gray, the suns barely starting to show. They wait silently; they looked over at one another and smiled. Blane would sneak long gazes at Daisy's hair while she wasn't looking. Neither had admitted their feelings for each other. Out of the blue 4 black SUV's pulled up into the hanger, all in a line. They stopped next to Blane and Daisy. There's a pause and completely silence. The door of the second car opened. Lenny emerged.
"Ready?" Lenny said, grinning. They didn't say anything. They smiled at each other and nodded back at Lenny.
Rose sat in the classroom, prim and proper. The first day of the entire school year. Half the class were asleep, including Oscar. Everyone else sat and chatted about their summer holidays. Carrie arrived and sat next to Rose. But Rose didn't notice for a moment. Her mind was elsewhere.
She thought about Blane and Daisy. How she hadn't been on a mission with them in god knows when, or even properly spend time with them for that matter. Her train of thought was instantly broke by the flash and the beep of the pencil tip. Oscar reacted slowly due to his tiredness. Avril peered over Oscars shoulder as she heard the beeping from his communicator but Oscar quickly turned it off. There was no teacher in the room yet so they just hurried out of the room.
No need for a terrible excuse, thought Rose.
They rushed to the caretaker's room. Oscar scanned his thumb. They squeezed in. Carrie pulled the broom leaver. The floor dropped. The wind from their great speed whistled in their ears as the outfits were changed. Ding. The elevator doors opened. They exited. Rose's eyes suddenly widened. After the doors opened she was meet by the old team. Frank and Lenny were standing by the computers, laughing old missions and admiring each other's suits. Blane and Daisy were chatting, Daisy in the swivelling chair and Blane leaning on the concrete pillar (still the usual sexual tension)
"Oh my God. Guys!" Rose shouted in gleefulness as she ran towards her old teammates. Oscar and Carrie followed slowly after; they were confused but also quite cautious, as they had never met these people before. After a quick exchange of words between Rose, Daisy and Blane (while Oscar and Carrie stood awkwardly) they stood up and faced each other, they (except for Rose) were facing their counterparts. They all dressed alike, head to toe in black. After another moment of awkwardness they smiled and laughed.
"Alright. I'm glad we're all acquainted. Now. Lets get down to it" Said Lenny, Clapping his hands together. "We've gotten our whole young M.I.9 agents together for a very important. S.K.U.L are gathering funds to prepare various weapons that could be used to rule the world. Now we know that we could take on any of their weapons. What your mission will be is to stop its funds. Stop its funds, stop everything."
"Like when you cut the head off a snake." Said Blane excitedly. Oscar nodded with a smile in agreement with Blane's statement.
"Ewwww!" Daisy squirmed in disgust. Rose and Carrie were completely unfazed.
"Well yes. I suppose so." Frank Interjected, "The source is fundamental. You need to find the source of the funds and ensure none can be made there again. The rest of M.I.9 will be handling any of S.K.U.L's schemes that creep up while our youth division, you, will be handling the fund source."
"Wait." Oscar raised his hand. "We our the only young spies in the whole of M.I.9?"
"Well. Yes. Because uses were so affective we never saw the need to start any other units. But there's something we should tell you." Lenny explained. He glanced at Frank. "There is one other agent. We had him working for M.I.9 for years. Before we even started your unit. But don't worry he is your age so you'll be able to work with him perfectly fine."
Blane thought about the idea of having someone no one knew join the team. This thought instantly brought his mind to Chad. Blane gritted his teeth together. He glanced at Daisy. She spotted him looking at her and he quickly snapped his head back to face Lenny. Then Daisy couldn't help but stare at him now.
"He'll be here tomorrow. But we should say first. He has never really worked in a team, so he might not play well with others." Added Frank, "But no matter what we are aiming for the same goal. He has actually been tracking the funds for a few weeks so we should have a few solid leads from there."
"So. What's his name?" asked Carrie, growing tired of mysterious description. Lenny turned his back to them and placed his hands firmly down on the glass table.
"Agent Rodeo."
No one reacted, except Oscar. His eyes widened, his mouth opened as he gasped loudly. Everyone turned to Oscar puzzled.
"Who's Agent Rodeo?" asked Rose.
"I heard about him back whenever I was being rotated around safe houses. I use to think he was just a rumour. Apparently he's one of the most dangerous spies in history. Apparently He once climbed an entire mountain by himself. And apparently he lived in the London underground for 7 months. Or that he even killed a terrorist to save Britain. "
"But he's our age. There's no way he could have done any of that." Dismissed Carrie
"That's right. Most of those stories are simply fabrications." Said Lenny as he looked at Frank nervously. "Now he'll arrive in the school in cover tomorrow morning."
