Thank you so much for all the support and reviews! I really appreciate them!

"What! Tom I thought you said lie detectors don't lie!" Keri yelled at Tom as he turned off the computer. "Its not possible! We saw the mastermind destroyed! The crime minister locked up!"

"Well they can't be lying! How else would they know about K.O.R.P.S? Keri, think! They are coming for MI9. There is still K.O.R.P.S. its just smaller than before. But it will grow! And why do you think they looked at your file? You are the perfect weapon!" Tom told Keri.

"Okay shut up now Tom!" Dan said to Tom. He turned to Keri. "Take no notice. No one will use you as a weapon. I won't let them." Keri smiled before turning to Frank.

"So is K.O.R.P.S. really back?" She asked him.

"It never left." Frank replied.

"Okay agents." Stella said. "Be extra cautious. Anything odd, tell us." Stella and Frank walked towards the lift followed by Keri and Anesia.

"So those boys aren't the hackers…" Dan asked Tom. Tom smiled and said,

"Nope. But can I give you advice. Girl advice." Dan shook his head,

"Tom. Why would I need girl advice, from you?"

"Just here me out! Because you are trained as a spy you naturally blend in. Try blending out. Then they notice you. Trust me!"

"Blend out? Blend out! Tom you can't give girl advice! I don't even like Keri!"

"I didn't mention Keri…" Tom said awkwardly.

"Forget it!" Dan said walking away.

"Dan totally likes you!" Anesia said to Keri. They sat down at a table with lunch. She snorted and replied

"No way! He hates me!"

"No he was like I won't let them use you as a weapon! Trust me. Plus he always pairs off with you on field missions."

"Thats because we work well together."

"No its because he cares about you so doesn't want to see you get hurt. There are more than disguises that are worn. He is trying to put a disguise on his love for you. But I can see past it."

"Hey. What are you talking about?" Dan said sitting down next to Keri.

"Nothing!" Keri said quickly.

"I'm going to get salt!" Anesia said getting up.

"But you already have…" Keri said but Anesia walked off.

"Look Keri. Please forget about what happened on the way back. I'm sorry I shouldn't have got angry." Dan told Keri.

"Its fine..I think I can forgive you!" Keri replied, jokingly.

"But.." Dan started.

"So do you think that K.O.R.P.S. will try and use me as a weapon?" Keri asked him.

"Maybe. I mean you are pretty dangerous. But they can't use you. Because I won't let them." Dan reassured her. He put his hand on top of hers.

"Um, Keri-" Dan was cut off by Anesia.

"No salt!" Dan and Keri's hands sprung apart.

"Wait Stella!" Frank ran to catch up with her. He almost tripped over a potted plant. Why did MI9 feel the need to put so many plants in their HQ.

"Are we sure we want to withdraw all security from Keri."

"Look, Frank, it wasn't my decision! I guess now we think that K.O.R.P.S. might attack they can't waste agents on a girl. Sorry Frank, there is nothing I can do." Frank nodded. Stella changed the subject. "But can you have a word with Dan. He seems too close to Keri. Tell him its against protocol. Just so he knows."

"But that didn't stop us!"

"No. But you know what did. And that could happen to them. And I know how much it hurts. Please Frank!" Frank nodded.

"I'll have a word with him, warn him." And with that the two agents went their separate ways.

"You too." Frank said to Keri and Dan. "Can I have a word."

"Look if this is about the computer, I'm really sorry I tried to mend it!" Dan said.

"No." Frank replied looking confused. "Firstly, Keri, we have removed all security. But we are only a phone call away if something happens."

"No Frank! Its too dangerous! What if something happens?" Dan shouted.

"I'm sorry its not my decision!" Franks said. "Keri, you will be fine! But can I have a word with Dan now?" Keri nodded and walked over to a bench sat down staring at the floor.

"Listen Dan. I'm sorry that I am the one who has to address this, but, you are seeming very close to Keri."

"We're good friends!" Dan protested.

"Good. But please nothing more. It can never work. Understand!" Dan nodded. Frank patted him on the arm and then walked away. Dan walked over to Keri.

"What were you talking about?" She asked him.

"He asked me to keep an eye on you." Dan lied. Keri nodded.

"Are you okay?" He asked her.

"Yes," She lied "Just tired."

"you'll be fine! Trust me." Keri pulled out her communicator which was flashing.

"Okay agents. We have a break-in in MI9. Dan, Keri, Anesia, get there and stop these people!" Stella told them. Dan nodded and the three of them made their way to the lift.

When they arrived at MI9 they saw a guard, knocked out. Dan signalled to the girls to follow him. Using their security passes they went in through a door.

"What would they want that we have?" Anesia asked.

"Maybe not what they want, maybe what they want to destroy! Look!" Keri pointed to a room where three K.O.R.P.S. agents were wiring up a bomb.

"Thats the main database!" Dan exclaimed and ran in. One of the agents ran forward and tried to kick Dan but he blocked it before punching the man, hard. Keri ran in and whacked the man from behind. He fell on the floor. The other agents came forward and tried to stop them. But Dan and Keri could only hold them off.

"Hurry up Anesia!" Dan yelled. Anesia tried everything but couldn't see a way to stop the bomb. Worse still red lights indicated that they had five second left!

"I can't stop it!" Anesia cried. Keri then saw it. She rolled under the K.O.R.P.S. agents legs and pulled the plug from the wall. The number stopped at two. Dan then span quickly and in one kick knocked both guards out.

"That was close!" Keri said.

"Yeah! But who gets a bomb which can be stopped by unplugging it?" Anesia replied.

"Whoever they were, tactics aren't they're strong point!" Dan said.

When they arrived back at school Mr Flatly was giving announcements.

"So tomorrow is eat healthy day, so to celebrate we are going to visit a farm!"

Some people groaned some people cheered.

"Frank? Can you get us out the school trip tomorrow?" Anesia spoke into her communicator.

"No, sorry!" He replied. Dan and keri sighed. But Tom said,

"I've always wanted to go to a farm! What? Tractor rides and stuff!"

Keri got up to the school gates. Tom waved before getting into his mums car. Anesia said,

"You'll be fine Keri!" And then started walking home. Keri looked at Dan.

"Bye then." She said.

"Be careful! Don't talk to strangers and look both ways before crossing the road!"

"I know how to walk home!" She protested.

"Are you sure you don't want me to walk with you?" Dan asked.

"Yep! Positive. If they do attack then you will just end up hurt!" Dan nodded. There was a moment of awkward silence before Dan put his arms around Keri. After a few seconds she put hers around him. "Just promise me you will be careful!" He said into her neck. They drew away.

"I promise." keri repeated before walking down the road. Before she turned the corner she looked back and smiled at him. It reminded Dan of the time she volunteered to go to K.O.R.P.S. base. The sad smile. He hadn't realised he was in love with her then. But when he thought she had died he realised what was so obvious to others. He just wished she felt the same way!

Keri thought of the way he had hugged her. She thought of what Anesia had said. Say Dan really did love her. Did she feel the same way?
