I shall hopefully upload another chapter in the next 12 hours. I've got the next few chapters really planned out. And thank you to 95, I've really thought I had edge. Who knows, someday I might have enough Edge to be U2...bad joke (stick to suspense writing, its what your good at)
It had been a long day so everyone headed home to get a good nights rest. Blane and Daisy stayed together in the lush apartment that Blane had basically paid for himself, Oscar went and stayed in the Perses safehouse and Rose fell asleep on her sofa after finishing a satisfying book. The next day began and they all got ready, back into suits and office-wear. Blane and Daisy drove around to pick the others up then headed for Hertfordshire, home of Ryfield Aeronautics, the government funded organisation that Irene and her father work at. After a long drive they arrived at the modern, shiny building.
They entered and asked for Irene Ryfield. The receptionist buzzed the message through and Irene came down. The elevator doors opened slowly and Irene walked out with her long blonde hair and office clothing that were near identical to Daisy's. Irene looked over at reception and instantly spotted Blane. She squealed lightly to herself and rushed over him, the clicks from her high heels on the buffered stone flooring echoed. It was only after she got a few metres away from him that she noticed he wasn't alone. They slowed down and composted her. Her and Daisy's eyes met and they both fired daggers at each other through eye contact. She stopped at stared into Blane's eyes, again ignoring everyone else.
"Hey Blane. How've you been?" she asked seductively with a wink to match. Daisy's temper rose past boiling point. Before Blane could even get a word in out Daisy interrupted.
"He's great now that we're together." Daisy loudly stated with a hint of pure fury in her voice. Daisy grabbed Blane and flung him towards her; she then practically wrapped herself around him. Yet more daggers were exchanged between the two. Oscar cleared his throat to ease tension.
"Hello Irene. It's been a while. How have you been keeping?" Rose asked.
"Oh, hey Rose. Yeah it has been like too long. I'm," she glanced at Blane, "great."
"That's nice. We were wanting to asked you a few questions, is that ok?"
"Sure. Lets go to my office." Irene brought them to her office; she sat on the front of her desk. "So what do you want to know?"
"Hi, I'm Oscar Cole." Oscar started. As soon as those words came out of his mouth Irene blushed and looked away, clearly Oscar had made her go weak at the knees. Oscar continued. "We want to know your involvement in Project: Khan." Irene's blushing expression was wiped from her face.
"Ohhh, that." She said rolling her eyes. She went and sat in her chair and leant back in it. "That was my dad's idea."
"So what did you do?" Blane asked.
"It was so dumb, me and dad got called in out of the blue to train this guy how to fly the X21." Irene answered.
"What's the X21?"
"It's the upgrade from my dad's X20 plane but it's like ten times cooler. It's got the cloaking device and now its got a device that makes it look like the plane is somewhere else."
"And the guy you trained. Was this Eddie Chapman?"
"Who?"
"Goddammit! Does this guy have any real names?" Shouted Oscar and his stood and tossed his chair to the floor.
"Wow! Oscar!" Blane said as he calmed Oscar. He turned back to Irene. "Was he called Alex Huntley?"
"No the guy we trained was called Roger Hollis, and he was really good, he picked it up like that." She clicked her fingers.
"Ok. So he's now Roger Hollis." Daisy said with a sigh as she bowed her head. " This is getting ridiculous."
"You trained this Roger. Where?"
" At the RAF Barkway airfield. It's a small place, a subtle place to keep the X21."
"Wait, you keep it on an airfield." Oscar exclaimed as he spun around to Irene.
"Do worry we've got priority 1 security for it. They really upped the security after I stole the X20." Irene said as she tried to add humour to the tense situation, it didn't help. "Fine we'll go and see it if that makes you happy." Irene got up and they all left.
They arrived at the airfield and went to the hanger that was being guarded by armed MI9 officers. They entered and it was an empty hanger.
"Ahh! Where is it?" Blane shouted as he stormed into the vacant hanger.
"Chill Blane. It's stealth plane. It's on cloaking mode, we always set it like that we aren't around, keeps people from finding it."
"And what's stopping someone from deactivating it and stealing it?" Daisy asked angrily.
"We have a code which only me and my dad know." She replied to Daisy returning the angry tone. "It deactivates the cloaking device and opens the plane. And THAT'S how we stop it getting stolen." Irene turned to a control panel and entered in the code, nothing happen. Again, still nothing. A third time, absolutely nothing. Daisy stood close to Blane and they both sniggered. After the third time there was a static sound and a voice recording started playing through the whole hanger.
"Hello, is this on?" the voice began, the voice had an American accent, it was Chad. " So dudes, how's the mission so far. Pretty tiresome I bet. You've probably figured out by now that we've stolen the X21, it was way to easy. Is Irene there with you? If she isn't, can you pass a message on for me? Tell her I had a great time," There was a pause, "And also a note for you guys, and the rest of MI9 for that matter, you should lock up gadgets better, they were way to easy for us to get them. " He left another pause. "I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of this giving clues away but In Vauxhall there is a backroom to operation archives There you'll find the Project: Khan file, that might answer a few questions you have." He stopped talking and recording stopped. Everyone turned to Irene who had a guilty look on her face.
"You have Chad the code?" Daisy lividly inquired.
"Yes but I didn't mean too. I met him at the office, we started flirting and then I thinking he might drugged me."
"Whatever. We just have to find that file." Oscar said.
"I'm with Oscar on this one." Blane added.
"What? So you just want to break into MI9 and steal a secret document." Daisy asked. Blane didn't know exactly how to answer.
"Pretty much."
Have another up very soon. Please R&R
