this chapter is a bit shorter but the next one will be longer but I still don't own MI high or any of the characters!

Zoe and Frank woke up to the sound of the cell doors opening and a guard coming in and putting down a tray of food on the floor for them and he left.

Zoe and Frank ate up the food then pushed the tray away to the cell door and Frank said "Morning Zoe, oh i ache all over from lying on the floor" and Zoe said "Morning to you as well Frank and I ache all over too. What are they going to do to us now that we are here?"

"Don't worry Stella and the team will be on their way shortly with backup but in the meanwhile we just have to do what they ask us to do" said Frank who then gave Zoe a hug.

The guard came back and took the tray of empty cutlery and gave them a blanket each to keep for the cold nights ahead.

Back at the MI9 house it was 5:00am and everybody's alarms were ringing to wake them up for the day ahead. Dan moaned at Tom "Tom shut the alarm up!"

"Why me?" said Tom. "Because your closer to the alarm clock" Dan said pointing at it.

Tom looked at the alarm clock and said "you've got a point Dan" because Tom was closer to the clock.

So Tom shut the alarm up and they got dressed and went downstairs to have breakfast and they brought their bags downstairs with them.

Dan tripped over the last step of the stairs and landed on his bag with a loud crash. Stella and Aneisha who were already downstairs heard the noise and peeked round the door to see Dan lying on his bag on the floor with Tom behind him on the stairs.

"Careful Dan, we don't want anyone injured before we leave" said Stella

"Yeah I'll try and be more careful next time." "Stupid bag strap" he also muttered and got himself up and went through with Tom.

So they ate breakfast then Stella gave them their gadgets. "Do you all have your pencils and your spypods with you" she asked them.

"Yes we do" said Dan, Aneisha and Tom in unison.

"Right, here is the mobile phone that fires electric shocks that you got yesterday" Stella said handing the phone to Dan.

"Remember only 10 shots can be aimed" said Stella looking at Dan.

"Aneisha, you have the laser lipstick that will cut through metal, steel and wood though be careful about wood, you might set fire to the wood" said Stella

"Here is your headsets but mine will have a camera so Tom can watch what will be happening" said Stella passing the headsets to Aneisha and Dan.

Stella put her spypod, pencil, headset and her gadget into her backpack that she was carrying.

They would all have waist bands that left holes for each gadget to go in during the mission so they didn't have to carry their bags with them.

"What is that?" said Tom pointing to the thing that Stella was holding.

"Oh this, it's a speed reactor grenade, you throw it at the enemy and it releases a smoke that slows down the movement of the person or people making them move in slow motion for 2 minutes. It's only to be used once" said Stella.

"Ok sounds cool" said Dan.

So then they all left the house and piled into the black van that had come to pick them up and set off for St Hearts. When they reached St Hearts Tom got out of the van and said "bye guys, talk to you later."

Stella sighed and said "Tom wait, Dan did you know about an art exhibition today?" said Stella pointing to the sign just outside the van.

"Oh no the art exhibition" said Dan gasping and remembering.

"Tom you will have to sneak in and be extra careful to try and get into HQ unseen" said Stella.

"Ok I will try and get in unnoticed and I will call you on one of your phones when I get to HQ" said Tom starting to walk away.

"Lets go" said Stella shutting the van doors and driving off to the MI9 HQ where the private helicopter was waiting for them.

Back at the cell in Italy some guards came to the outside of the cell wearing full gas suits and Zoe and Frank wondered why they were wearing them and then one of the guards rolled a grenade into the cell and it landed near them.

The grenade went off and it released a gas that absorbed through their skin and it made their muscles stop moving no matter how hard they tried to move them so they fell to the ground just lying there not moving.

They got picked up and the guards dragged them down the corridor to another room.
