After searching for anything on vincent they gave up and went to class. Emerald sat beside scoop and oscar sat beside avril. They kept looking at each other and smiling. They were in maths and mr flately was droning on about the history of zero. Emerald turned round and oscar made a face to show how bored he was. Half the class was either sleeping or flicking bits of pens about.
'Now class, if you could get into partners and make a start on you're science projects' mr flately said and oscar and emerald perked up. Avril went to sit with dillian, the new boy and oscar went to sit with emerald. Rose and carrie were in front of them. They were doing a solar system made from biodegradable materials and oscar and emerald were doing the life cycle of wolves. They both found them interesting and since they were both doing biology it worked. Oscar looked out the window and saw a black van parked at the side of the street facing st. hopes. Once he saw it they took off. He thought about it and decided against telling them, it was probably nothing. After they had finished they headed to lunch.
'Heard anything on the mission?' rose asked the others once they were seated outside.
'Nothing' oscar and emerald said together smiling afterwards. They lay back on the grass, their hands clasped together as the sun shone down on the, nothing could disturb the peacefulness of their day. Rose and carrie were discussing celebrities when their communicators flashed. They all lifted it to their ears and heard a small buzzing.
'Frank?' carrie asked and the line went dead. They all looked at each other then rushed off to base.

When they arrived they found the vase ransacked and broken. The computers screens were smashed, papers were thrown around the room and frank was no-where to be seen. They looked around and oscar found a note on the desk. He picked it up and went pale.
'Whats the matter?' emerald asked and he handed her the note.

If you want to see you're precious mentor again, meet us at the warehouse on 5th street and don't bring back up or you will never see him again-JDH

Rose and carrie peered over her shoulder then looked back to oscar who was glaring at the note.
'Jade' emerald said placing the note in her pocket.
'What do we do, it said not to bring back up?' carrie asked and the others looked at her.
'Its obvious isn't it?' oscar said and they looked to him.
'We go and rescue frank' emerald said and oscar smiled at her nodding.

They raced along the streets and found the warehouse. They made sure their communicators were hidden and their gadgets were in their pockets. They snuk through the back door and looked in. Four skul thugs were at each other corners with jade and frank in the middle. Frak was sitting on a chair with his hands bound and gagged.
'I know you're there oscar' jade called out and oscar stiffened. Emeral held his hand and he smiled.
'You can't hide forever' she taunted and oscar glared at her. Frank was looking at jade then he spotted them hiding behind the shelves. He shook his head and jade smiled.
'Can't you see he doesn't want you're help?' she asked and then looked at them.'Come on oscar, be a good boy and come and see you're mother'.
The four of them walked out and faced her. She smiled then looked to emerald.
'Feeling better about betraying you're own family?' she asked and emerald glared at her, no wonder oscar despised her.
'What do you want?' oscar asked defiently.
'Nothing much' she taunted walking around the room.
'What. Do. ?' emerald said slowly making sure she heard.
'I would like m.i.9 under my control, but thats too much to ask for...' she said trailing off, then turning to them.
'So instead i would like the microchip that contains the plans for project legal' she said smiling. Oscar and emerald looked at each other and rose and carrie were confused.
''What projest legal?' rose asked and oscar and emerlad turned to her.
'Its when you wipe the memory of a person and train them for certain things' oscar said.
'Yeah, like you could wip a top agents memory then make them into a lollypop lady or something' emerald said and jade smiled.
'So, you two know?' she asked and they glared at her. Oscar turned to her.
'What do you want it for?' he asked and she chuckled.
'With plans like that, i could have a whole army of agents at my commmand' she said walking around frank tauntingly. The four skul agents blocked the xits and jade turned to them again.
'So, whats you're decision, cooperate or never see him again' she said placing her hands on franks shoulders. Frank shook his head and they looked at each other.
'Fine' they said together. Emerlad pulled out her spy-pod and found the file. Jade passed them a micro chip and she dowloaded it onto the chip. Jade watched them, thirst in her eyes and ordered the agent to untie frank. Frank stood up and rubbed his wrists and walked over to his younger agents. Emerald handed back the chip and jade snatched it from her. She smiled and stepped back. The agents didn't move.
'We had a deal' rose said and jade shook her head slowly.
'Whe have i ever kept my promise?' she asked and the lights were cut. The skul agents grabbed them and left.

Rose, carrie, frank and emerald looked around and saw jade, the skul agents and oscar were gone.
'Oscar?' emerald said standing up and helping the others.
'I knew we couldn't trust her' rose said throwing her hands up in the air in furstration. Emerald looked around and saw a glint of green on the floor. She bent down and saw it was oscars ring.
'Oscar' she whispered sadly.
