Hi! I am back and I am sorry that I didn't update last week! I feel so bad! I have vitual cookies for those who want some? Anywho, this is chapter 7 of Three's not a Crowd.

Disclaimer: I do not own M.I. High or any of it characters

Rose sat up in her seat and rubbed her eyes, in the hopes that the movement against her eyes would rub away the stress that was sitting on her shoulders. The mission had been in action for about 3 weeks and MI9 HQ has found a fault in the security codes and had asked Rose to fix it. Along with that added stress, there was a plus side. Daisy and Blane had been her side the whole time but they had to head back to ALPHA soon to prepare the new recruits. While she was sad about the parting of her friends, she was happy that they had found a job that they enjoyed. She had enjoyed catching up with her old teammates but it had also reminded her that it always seemed the way that the two teammates in her team always went on to do stuff without her. Blane and Daisy with ALPHA and Oscar and Carrie with this new mission. She left slightly out of the loop.

The lift opened behind her and she heard the sound of Frank leather shoes against the floor. The two had spent a bit of time underground over the last week trying to find this problem with the codes. Everything seemed in check but Rose had a feeling in the pit of her stomach that is wasn't how it seemed. That it went deeper than just bad coding.

A hand came to rest on her hand, made her stumble right out her thought tree and look at her spy mentor. He smiled a small smile. He knew that Rose was hurting deep down about the whole mission but she was one tough cookie. Nothing really seemed to shake up that blank non-feeling look that she put up. Frank knew that she put it up as a defence system, not just because of the job, she was scared to let people see the person deep down. She was not just this computer geek but this amazing strong lady and was probably one of the most loyal person you will ever come across.

"Rose… how about you take the night off? Oscar and Carrie won't mind if you are not there for the sign in. Anyway, it is Daisy and Blane's last night. How about you make the most of it? Hmmm?" Frank said gently. Rose was about the argue but she thought about the amount of coffee she had consumed and nodded her head. She got out her phone and texted Daisy.

Rose: Hey Daisy, just to let you know that I am not going to do tonight's thingy so do you want to hang out a bit before Blane get's back? He is trying to do some 'manly' stuff isn't he?

Daisy: OMG! Of course we a going to hang out! BUWB is trying to prove that he is a man or something by doing a defence class somewhere. I don't get why he didn't use the HQ stuff. Waaaayyy better than the sweaty stuff they have at the place he is going!

Rose: BUWB?

Daisy: Back-Up Wonder Boy

Rose: Right. I will see you in 10 then?

Daisy: Yep

Rose turned to Frank and then nodded her head to confirm her plans for the evening. As she was collecting her stuff for the night, she started to feel guilty for Frank alone.

"Are you sure? It is okay for me to stay." She said the 1000th time. Frank just gave her one of his famous looks and she sighed and walked out onto the lift.

Not 20 mins later, Frank heard a sound coming from the computer, indicating that the team was reporting for the night. When their faces appeared on the screen, Frank couldn't help but notice the confused look on Oscar's face.

"Hello team. Why the long face Oscar?" Frank asked.

"Hey Frank, sorry was just slightly confused. Where is Rose? She is always at the sign in." He said with a small smile trying to reassure his adopted father figure that he was alright. (1).

Frank looked sideways and realised that Rose was not there. It took him a moment to remember that he had sent her on her way, for a night off.

"Oh Rose, she is going to be spending the night her friends." Frank said with a grin, happy that Rose will be doing something other than spy work in her spare time for a change.

"That's good, she has been becoming a mole over there hasn't she? Spending so much time underground" Carrie said with a grin. She looked happy about something and Frank couldn't pick it.

"Anyway, how is the mission going?" Frank asked, trying to get back to the reason why he had to look at fuzzy faces through a screen and not talk to them face to face.

(1)- This is before the episode The Lost Hero and I always thought that Oscar saw Frank as the father figure in his life.

Anyway, I hope you like this fanfic so far. So please let me know what you think by reviewing! I will TRY to update at least once a week and if not I will be baking more cookies to hand out...
