(Tom's POV)

I walked out of the classroom, Emma following closely behind me.

I wished Mr Flatley hadn't picked me to show Emma round the school, because all I really wanted to do was sleep.

I had told Neesh and the others that I was fine, but really I was far from it.

My nightmares had been getting worse recently, for no apparent reason.

I had to know why.

Why the events from my past were somehow resurfacing again, although I had buried them deep down.

Why my parents wouldn't stand me even mentioning what had happened.

Why she was still missing.

'Snap out of it Tom' I told myself. 'You need to find out if Emma knows anything'.

I walked down the corridor, pointing out the different classrooms and teachers to Emma, who looked at each thing in turn and smiled.

"So, have you just moved here?" I asked her.

"Yes" she said back. "I used to live in a small village in the countryside with my parents".

"Why did you move here?" I asked.

"My dad got a new job offer here, and my mum and I came with him".

Emma said. She didn't seem to want me prying into her personal life, so I left it there.

"Why were you staring at me and my friends earlier?" I asked.

"Just wondering something". Emma said, looking away from me.

"What?" I asked. "What it's like to have proper friends like that".

She said. "You see, I've never really had any real friends, I have always put my school work first".

"Oh" I replied. I felt sorry for this girl, growing up without any friends.

"Well, even though I'm sure you'll make new friends here, you can always talk to me if you want".

I told her. "Thanks" I said.

It was now nearing the end of break and Emma went to get her English books from her locker for next lesson.

As she walked away I had a small feeling that I knew her somehow.

Even though the nearest countryside was miles away, was it possible that we could have met before?

(No ones POV)

Emma walked away down the corridor, glancing back at Tom as she went.

'Finally' she thought. The moment her life had been building up too for the past few years had passed.

She had seen him again.

That had been the only thing giving her hope all that time.

She pulled the photograph out of her pocket and stared at it.

That photograph was years old, yet she had kept it hidden the whole time.

Emma was so lost in her own thoughts that she didn't notice the school caretaker creeping down the corridor towards her.

Suddenly she realised she was being watched, and upon seeing him, ran down the corridor and disappeared from sight, not noticing that she had dropped her precious photo on the floor.

(Frank's POV)

I followed the girl around the corner, but she had disappeared from sight.

I was sure it was her, but it couldn't have been.

This could've been anyone.

After all, no one I knew of had seen or made contact with her in years.

Even so, I was worried about Tom.

If the secret came out, he could be in serious danger.

(Dan's POV)

I walked down the corridor chatting to Aneisha and Keri.

Tom had been gone most of break time showing Emma round the school, and we were wondering if she knew about M.I.9.

"Something is definitely up" Aniesha said.

"Why would she stare at us like that for no reason?".

"I don't know" I said. "But I don't like it one bit.

If Keri had just kept her mouth shut.."

I started, before Keri playfully pushed me over.

I dropped my books on the floor and bent down to pick them up.

As I did so, I noticed a photo lying on the floor.

I picked it up, and stared at the two people in the centre of the picture.

It was of Tom, and someone who we didn't recognise.

It looked like quite an old photo, and both of them looked quite young.

Tom and the girl looked quite similar in a way, both with dark brown hair and brown eyes.

I showed the girls before looking at it more closely.

Then. Frank walked round the corner.

The photo slipped from my fingers and fell to the floor next to Frank's feet.

He bent down and picked it up, before studying it closely.

"Where did you get this?". He asked, a grave look on his face.

"It was just on the floor over there" Keri said pointing.

"We just came along and someone had just left it there".

"Right" Frank said. "Don't mention this to Tom, alright?".

"Why?" Neesh asked. "Is he in danger?".

Frank looked around to make sure no one was listening.

"If this gets in the hands of the wrong people, then yes, he is in danger" he said. Frank then seemed to realise we weren't going to let the matter go and said "get down to HQ if you want to know. And don't tell Tom".

He strode off down the corridor and left us chatting.

Then we decided to go to HQ. Even though it wasn't our business, if Tom was in danger we could help.

Aneisha slid the light switch cover back and scanned her thumb in the DNA scanner.

Once the door had opened, the three of us stood together in the middle of the cupboard.

Keri then pulled the lever, and we plummeted down to HQ.

Hey guys! Sorry it took a while for me to upload this, my computer had a bit of an off day. Hope you like it :-)
