Chapter 4

The team was crammed in the back of an MI9 van as they made their way to Tatton Hall.

"So, how nice is this place on a scale of my flat to Buckingham Palace?" Blane asked.

Daisy pulled a face at him.

"I told you that you should let me clean it…" Daisy began. "And given those choices I'd say a solid 7"

Rose couldn't help but wonder at what point Daisy had seen the inside of Blane's flat. The thought brought a smile to her face as she suppressed the urge to ask.

"How big is it?" Keri questioned.

"Uhhh, I don't really know how to explain it. It's just really big and has like two staircases leading down into the main hall and this huge chandelier" Daisy replied.

"Sounds chic" Aneisha nodded.

"When was the last time you went?" Carrie asked her.

"I think I was like, sixteen… maybe seventeen… seventeen yeah" Daisy smiled stretching her back out lazily with a huge sigh. "It's not all that" She insisted.

"Not for you maybe, but the nicest place I've seen is my nan's living room" Blane chuckled.

"Okay then" Daisy began. "It's breath taking and you will be blown away by the impeccable interior design" She said sarcastically.

Blane made a face at her.

"Hey guys" Dan shouted from the front of the van. "We're almost there"

He pulled into the grounds of the mansion. The house could be seen at the top of a hill just before it disappeared behind the trees that Dan had to drive the team through. He rubbed his eyes.

"I told you to let me take the wheel" Zoe piped up from the passenger seat.

"And I told you that there would be no point" He shot back a little too defensively. Zoe shifted uncomfortably in her seat and looked out of the window.

"Hey" Dan reached over and placed a hand on her thigh. "I'm sorry" She met his gaze for a second before he returned it back to the road. "I'm just…"

"Tired?" She asked a smile breaking across her face.

"Yeah" He sighed dejectedly returning his hand to the gear stick.

"It's okay. It's not your fault you're a stubborn pr-"

"I'm not stubborn" He protested.

"You are" Zoe laughed.

"I'm not"

"You're just contradicting yourself the longer you do this" She pointed out.

"Alright smartarse" Dan chuckled.

"Oi!" Someone Tom shouted from the back of the van. "Less of that language Morgan!"

"Yes, Sir!" Dan shouted back…


"Right" Frank said stepping out of the van after it pulled up on the grounds. He pulled a silver briefcase out of the back of the van.

"The party starts at Seven O'clock. It's six now so let's look alive people" Frank opened the case revealing 8 ear pieces. "They're more discreet then your communicators and that's the whole point of this mission; to keep the cover" The team took the ear pieces.

"These are so cool" Dan cooed happily putting one on his ear. The device was black with a blue band running around the edge. It was an oval shape and had a small piece of plastic that ran across his cheek bone: the microphone.

"Now, for the good stuff" Frank rubbed his palms together and pulled out another silver case.

"Dan, Zoe" Frank threw blue jump suits at them. "You'll act as cleaners"

"Joy" Dan sighed.

"Oscar, Carrie" Frank passed them both a pair of binoculars. "By moving the focuser you'll be able to zoom in on anything 500 meters"

"Nice" Carrie whooped taking it from him.

"For Keri and Aneisha" Frank began passing them both a pair of sunglasses. "These will allow you to see if anyone is carrying anything upon entering the party"

"Got it" Keri said putting them and looking at the wall of the mansion.

"And, something special for Blane and Daisy" Franks said with a grin. "First of all, smaller ear pieces" Frank handed them the earplug-like devices. They were transparent and were barely visible.

"Epic!" Blane said enthusiastically putting the device in.

"For Blane, cuff links that act as cameras and recording devices"

"Even more epic" He said even more enthusiastically a grin splitting his face in half. Daisy elbowed him in the stomach before he lost it completely.

"And for Daisy," Frank continued ignoring the face Blane was pulling at Daisy. "Earrings that will pick up a conversation through 4 ft of concrete and anywhere up to 40 ft around you"

"Cool" She shrugged "These better go with my dress" She warned.

"Of course" Frank shook his head.

"On that note" Stella said walking back into the van and handing Blane and Daisy their disguises. "We'll be on surveillance with Rose and Tom the whole time" She added. "Now go and get changed you two"

"Why don't we get cool flashy gadgets?" Dan asked in the tone of a five year old who had been denied candy.

"Let's just say that you have enough distractions" Frank gave him a knowing grin as Dan rolled his eyes and Zoe blushed.


Blane was stood just outside of the entrance. He was dressed in a sleek black tuxedo with a white dress shirt, black pants and narrow and very finely polished black shoes. He was fixing cuff link gadgets into place whilst Keri ran a comb through his hair calming the messy bush until it fell with a neat parting on the right side of his head.

"Did it have to have a cummerbund?" Blane growled through his communicator fiddling with the item of clothing around his waist before Keri slapped his hands away.

"Well it was either that or a waistcoat" Stella replied. "And I don't know what you're supposed to wear at these things"

Blane shook his head furiously.

"You look great" Keri said enthusiastically removing her hands from his head.

"I haven't even tied my bow tie" He replied deadpan.

"Well I haven't got a clue how you do that" Keri laughed.

"This is going really well" Blane said sarcastically. "Where the hell is Daisy?" He demanded looking at his watch: 6:47. "People are going to start arriving soon"

"Blane, you of all people should know that you can't rush that woman when it comes to how she looks" He heard Rose say through his earpiece. He cocked his head to the side as a reply before remembering that she couldn't see him.

"I guess you're right" He hummed.

The sound of the doors opening made Keri and Blane look around. Keri "OO"ed loudly whilst Blane's eyebrows raised so high so quickly they threatened to fly off his face.

Aneisha grinned from ear to ear as she helped Daisy down the stairs in her heels. Daisy was dressed in a long red gown that had a low enough neckline to reveal a modest amount of cleavage. There was a slit from the knee down revealing her beige coloured heels. Her hair was down and fell in curls across her back and shoulders with her fringe across her face.

A smile tugged at a corner of Blane's mouth as he stood there mesmerized with a half grin. Keri could've swore she saw his eyes go slightly foggy.

"Well?" Daisy asked him. "How do I look"

Blane's eyes refocused on hers as he gave her an honest reply:

"Beautiful"

Daisy looked at the ground trying to hide the blush on her cheeks. Blane bit his bottom lip in a panic as if he'd said the wrong thing.

Keri and Aneisha grinned at each other.

"Uh" Blane stuttered fiddling with his inside pocket. "Seeing as we're supposed to be engaged..." He pulled a small metal object from his inside pocket and held it out to her. "Saves us from an awkward, improvised conversation as to where it is"

Daisy looked at the ring pressed between his shaking index finger and thumb. It was a simple silver band with a single moonstone engraved into it.

"Where did you get that?" Daisy asked her tone soft.

"It's my mum's. She gave it to me years ago after my dad... you know..."

She nodded her reply. Blane's dad had walked out on him and his brother, Kyle, when he was only six (Kyle being ten). It had put Blane in a bad place for years and years after.

"I've had it just lying in my wallet for a few years now... Might as well put it to good use" He chuckled getting on one knee. "So, Daisy Millar, will you accept this ring and wear it for me on out undercover mission?" A huge grin cracked his face in two as opposed to the sweet, vulnerable one he had been wearing before. Daisy returned his smile.

"Yes" She said in a n over-dramatic voice. Blane fake cried as he got up and slid it on her finger. It fit perfectly.

"Foreshadowing" Aneisha murmured to Keri who tried not to laugh out loud.

"Well come on then, Mr's Whittaker-to-be" Blane said offering her his arm cocking his head to the cars that were pulling onto the drive as people began arriving.

"We'll see you two later" Daisy said to Keri and Aneisha, linking Blane's arm and walking back up the stairs.
