(Keri's POV)
I felt so annoyed that we had left Tom alone in the base with a super weapon, because if there had been two of us there we may have had a chance of stopping the intruder.
I could tell that Dan was feeling guilty about what he had said earlier, and I was glad that Tom was alright, because if he hadn't been, Dan would be feeling extremely bad.
Frank was pacing around the base, walking back and forwards next to table.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I'm just wondering what Stella's going to say" He replied.
"She'll understand" I assured him, but inside I wasn't so sure.
I walked over to Aneisha, who was crouched down next to Tom, trying to clean out his cut.
He kept flinching, and I wondered how painful it was.
"Stay still" Aneisha told him, as Tom leaned away from her.
"I can't" he said. "It stings!".
"It'll get better" I told him, before pulling Aneisha aside.
"Does he remember anything?" I asked her.
"No, only being hit on the head and falling off the chair" she said sighing.
"Catching this intruder is going to be quite a job, especially with no clues".
We were all interrupted by the noise of the lift coming down, and Frank looked at me.
"Stella" he said, pausing the pacing.
The lift doors opened and Stella stormed into HQ, looking like she was about to explode.
"How did you lose it!" She hissed, and stared at each of us in turn.
None of us wanted to be the one to tell her what had happened, but luckily Frank stepped in.
"Someone gained access to the base whilst I was in your office, and the others were on a mission, and before you ask, I don't know how" Frank said.
"KORPS are probably using it right now to create some mad scheme to control the country!" Stella said, getting angrier by the minute.
"Who knows what they'll do with it, we don't even know what it is!" Stella was almost shouting now.
"We didn't know someone was going to come and steal it did we!" Dan snapped.
He sat down next to the pillar and looked slowly around the room.
Stella seemed to calm down a bit, and Aneisha turned back to helping Tom.
I joined Dan sitting on the floor, when he suddenly frowned.
"What is that?" He asked.
I followed his gaze and saw a small, button like object in the corner of the room.
I walked over and upon picking it up, I saw that it was a yellow badge, which all students were given upon arrival, but not many people wore.
The others saw my sharp intake of breath, and crowded round to see the small object in my hand.
"Is that what I think it is?" Aniesha asked, glancing down at her own badge, which was pinned on the collar of her blazer.
"It's our school badge" Dan said, a confused expression on his face.
"Hang on, does this mean that a student at has just stolen a super weapon?" Tom asked, still sitting on his chair.
"I suppose it does" Stella said. "But how did they gain access?".
"I would've been alerted if there had been a security breach, and I wasn't, so someone has somehow either hacked the security system very delicately, or they've gotten hold of one of you fours fingerprints" Frank said.
"But how?" I asked.
"If you touch something, your fingerprint can be left on it, but it usually depends on how hard you touch it" Aneisha explained.
"Oh" I said, sighing.
Catching the intruder was going to be quite a task, and we'd only just begun.
Frank and Stella sent us upstairs to class, whilst they decided what they were going to tell M.I.9.
"I'm sorry guys" Tom said, "I messed up big time".
"Hey, it wasn't your fault" Aneisha said, sitting down next to him.
"We should've been quicker" I said, and Dan nodded in agreement.
I looked around the crowded corridor of .
One pupil here was working for KORPS, but the question is, which one?
(No ones POV)
The four agents sat down to the afternoons lessons, all feeling slightly annoyed with themselves.
After about two hours, Dan sat staring into space.
He was so bored, and nothing was going to change that whilst he was stuck in double maths with Mrs King.
"Look" Keri said, nudging him.
Dan diverted his gaze to the window, and was shocked at what he saw.
What had been a sunny day was now a very wet one, as rain was pouring down outside.
Dan and Keri both thought this was a bit odd, but weather can change all the time, so they just ignored it.
That was until the thunder and lightning started, soon followed by snow.
Then their pencils started to flash, and the four agents slipped silently out of the lesson.
"What's the mission?" Dan asked as they stepped into the freezing cold base.
"We think that KORPS have started to use the super weapon, which we now believe to be some sort of weather machine! which is causing this mad weather change every five minutes" Frank said, rubbing his arms.
From some tests a technology team did when we were still in possession of the weapon, there seems to be a part missing, which we believe is this control panel, which is kept in a high security vault in the local museum, due to its value and extreme power. Put these two together and you would have something that could destroy the world". He continued.
The agents shared a glance, and knew they had to get that piece, over wise they and the whole world would be in big trouble.
"So" Tom said, "is it time for another school trip?"
(The museum)
(Aneisha's POV)
We arrived at the museum and were split into small groups to look around the museum, with strict instructions to meet back at the entrance at 3.00.
Luckily I was with Dan, Keri and Tom, so we had a chance to find the super weapon part.
I held my pencil up to my heart and whispered into it.
"Frank, where is the piece stored?"
"From what I've found out, it seems to be stored in the back of the museum on the second floor" he said. "Unfortunately it looks as of security is very high, and there are guards everywhere".
I sighed, and started walking up the big staircase leading to the second floor.
I gestured for the others to follow me, and as they did so, I talked to Frank again.
"Is there a way of getting in without being spotted?" I asked.
"I think you'll have to go through the air vent" he told me, before telling me the whereabouts of the vent.
"Since you don't have any rope to get you back in the air vent, you'll just have to improvise with what you have, but be careful, looking at the CCTV footage it looks as if the room is checked every five minutes, and there are alarmed lasers in the room".
I glanced at the rest of the team, and wondered if we were ever going to get the part back.
(Ten minutes later)
(No ones POV)
The four agents crawled along the final section of the long, small air vent, trying to make the least noise as possible.
Dan had gone in first, followed by Aneisha, then Keri, then Tom.
"Stop" Dan said, and started to unscrew the vent cover, that was about 15ft above the ground.
Suddenly the door of the room opened, and a security guard peered around the door.
Seeing that all was in order, he left, closing the door firmly behind him.
"Right" Dan said. "We have five minutes before he comes back, let's move quickly".
Keri had managed to find some old rope in a museum storage room, and even though it looked like it could snap any minute, it was the best they had.
Dan lowered himself down slowly, and Aneisha followed behind him.
"You have to lift this exactly when I say, or the alarm will be activated" he told Aneisha.
She nodded, and focused herself.
"Now" Dan said, and Aneisha carefully lifted the glass cover off the stand that held the small metal panel.
"Guys" Tom said from the air vent. "I think that lasers about to fire".
He pointed to a small camera like object, high up on the wall in the corner of the room that was moving about and looking round the room.
Tom had told them just in time, as a few seconds later.
It fired right where Aneisha and Dan were standing.
They both dived for cover, as Tom and Keri gasped.
Aneisha managed to just keep the glass cover from smashing, and the team all sighed in relief.
"Three minutes left" Keri warned from the vent.
Dan and Aneisha quickly took out the part and pocketed it, before replacing the glass cover.
"You go first" Dan said, and Aneisha hauled herself up the rope.
"Dan, I can hear something" Keri said.
The footsteps outside started to slow down, and were just a few meters away from the door, and coming closer every second.
Dan quickly started to climb the rope, and was just a few spaces from the top, when the rope snapped.
"NO!" Keri gasped, as Tom lunged forwards to help his friend.
Dan felt the rush as he started to fall, and knew that he was in big trouble...
Hi guys, I know I said my last update was my last for a while, but I just managed to write this one before I leave tomorrow. Thanks for getting me to ten reviews, each one makes me want to update faster! What do you think happens to Dan in the next chapter? Hope you enjoyed this, and I will try to update as soon as I can.
