Nate's POV

"Dude! You look like a love struck puppy!" Shane comments.

"Yeah well it shows I can still get a girl. You never got a girl since a year ago when that female agent asked you to prom at that other school as an undercover." I state.

"Ok. But you do realize that we will hopefully have to arrest her father." Shane says.

I just keep driving ignoring Shane's babbling. We swipe our cards and Jason is waiting by the door.

"Nate, why do you look like a love struck puppy?" Jason asks.

"Why love struck puppy? I just got a girlfriend and she kissed me." I say.

"Kissed? Trust me. From my angle it looked like more then kissing. You were totally making out." Shane says.

"No we weren't." I say defending myself.

"Whatever you say Nate. Now, we found his address book, but nothing else out of the ordinary." Shane says as he sends the files from his phone to his computer.

Near the doors the cellphones work a bit.

"Ok it sent now all these numbers and names and countries. Let's write them out and check for any links and see if they have a profile in our computers." Jason says.

"Ok. So first observation is that a lot of his associates are in France. I think it's safe to say that his base for the drug is in France. Now there are a few Italian, British and German guys in here as well as a few other European countries." I state.

"Well I'd say those are the people who are going to get the drug into those countries." Jason says as Chief comes by.

"Well agents how was your party?" He asks.

"Excellent. We got into Bagnell's lab. We got his address book and we have an educated guess that the base of the drug is going to be in France. We couldn't find anything strange or different down there though." Shane says.

"Lovely. Now the next 2 days are going to be a regular school day, then I'm going to send you guys to France. You are to use this as your excuse for being away. "My Uncle François died in a car accident and his funeral is in a week. That excuse can buy you a little extra time but you need to act sad and such because you need to make it look like his death is life changing." Chief says.

"Ok. I think we can arrange it." Shane says.

"Wait, here is a picture of the three of you with your Uncle François in front of the Eiffel Tower." Chief says.

"No way. That's some amazing editing." I state.

"Yeah your "Uncle" is an agent who needs a major face lift since he got busted. Now make sure you keep your facts straight and act sad. Test it out on Agent Simpson." Chief says as he leave us alone.

Ok. Think Dead puppies. I say to myself as I run to the lounge with tears down my face.

"Nate, what's wrong?" He asks.

"Well I'm upset because my Uncle François...died! I was so close to him even though he lived in France. We always talked on the computer all the time. I miss him." I say as I pile on the water works.

"It's going to be ok Nate." He says as he pulls me into a hug.

"I know but I miss him. He died in a car accident!" I tell him through the tears.

"Wow! I'm sorry for your lose Nate. Are you going to go to the wake and funeral?" He asks.

"Yeah we leave in 2 days time. I just can't believe he's gone!" I say.

"Everything will be ok." He says.

I wipe the tears away.

"Dude! I played you like a violin. My "Uncle" didn't die, but I'm going to France with my brothers for the mission. It's the excuse I'm using to get out of school." I explain.

"Dude! You had me wicked worried for a while there. You made it seem really believable! Wow nice picture! The editing staff did a wicked job. So I'll get yours and Shane's homework until you get back right?" Agent Simpson asks.

"No. It would get you associated with us which is what we want to avoid at all costs." I say.

"Right. I didn't really think about that." He says as we both sit in the lounge.

"Nate, stay right there. I want to show you something." Agent Parker says as she comes into the lounge.

I see her wearing a pair of glasses.

"Did you get glasses?" I ask.

"Nope. They are glasses with cameras." She says.

"Cool, but those have been invented already." Agent Simpson says.

"Nothing like these ones. It has technology to video tape objects that you aren't even looking at." Agent Parker says as she hands it to me.

"Wow it looks cool and it totally looks like regular glasses." I tell her as I try to give them back to her.

"No you can have them for now since you're going out on mission." Agent Parker says.

"Thanks. I'll give you some of my gadgets if you need them. I got to go get some packing done and then I think I'm going to rest up a little bit. You going to school tomorrow?" I ask.

"Yeah. Agent Simpson and I are willing to help you and Shane sell your story. We can act all sympathetic and stuff." Agent Parker suggests.

"I'm not sure about that. If no one is buying it, you 2 can try to sell it." I tell them as I go into my room and I start to pack my suitcase.

Now how in the hell are we going to be able to get all our gadgets across the boarder. I can defiantly get the exploding mentos across and a few other things but my pen bombs and my other explosives can't. I continue packing clothes when I hear my phone ring. I rush to see who it is and I see the name on the phone is Miley. I rush out of the building and I answer the phone.

"Hello." I say.

"Hey Nick. Listen I was wondering if you wanted to go out tomorrow night?" She asks.

"I can't. My brothers and I are going away to France in a couple days for my Uncle François's funeral. We were really close with him." I tell her sounding sad.

"Aww. I'm sorry for your lose Nick. Are you coming to school Monday?" She asks.

"I don't think. I'm not sure it depends how I feel in the morning." I tell her.

"Ok. If I don't see you Monday, have a good time in France. Remember you can talk to me about anything." Miley says as she hangs up.

No I can't tell you anything. I can't tell you I'm a Super Spy, I can't tell you your father is trying to make a super drug and I sure as he'll can't tell you about how I feel. I swipe my card and I proceed inside.

"Hey dude who was that?" Shane asks.

"Miley. I told her about us leaving. Do we have to go to school or can we just go to France. The quicker we get there the quicker we can figure out Bagnell's game plan." I state.

"Well I'll call your school and explain the situation and they will make homework packages for you guys. You'll get them when you get back. You probably know the stuff already but still." Jason says as he grabs the cord phone.

"Make sure there is no address. They aren't there right now but leave them a massage." I remind him.

"Ok. Perfect." Jason says as he goes into another room to use a different phone.
