To those who are reading this who have accounts, can you please review from now on? Thanks ^^. I am going to branch out more, from now on, and get more mini plots going at once.

Chapter 12

Under the orders of Vallejo, Karen and Joseph were busily working through Fillmore and Ingrid's, as well as their own, paperwork. Despite this, the two of them were deciding how to get Danny next, who had left the room. Danny had put pictures of Joseph dressed up as girl for the fancy dress in 8th grade on the school network and Joseph was adamant that he would get him back.

"Shake his drink," Karen suggested with a laugh. She didn't care, she was thinking about her party on Friday. She had not only invited the safety patrol, but a lot of others from some of her classes. However, only the safety patrol was sleeping at hers. The rest had to leave at 12.

Joseph laughed and got up. Danny had left a can of coke on his desk when he had gone out to the vending machine as he had forgotten a chocolate bar. Joseph picked it up and shook it hard, for about 20 seconds, before putting it back. Joseph walked back to his desk and continued with Fillmore's paperwork, eagerly awaiting Danny's return.

"Fillmore has busted quite a few people since we started back at school," Joseph noted whilst typing up a report on a bullying incident.

"I know," Karen replied. "He did a lot of them with Ingrid and Edward. I can't believe Vallejo is making us do this, the bastard." She said as she got another pile to go through.

Vallejo opened his door and leaned out, "I heard that," he said, and went back in.

Joseph laughed. "Nice on Karen," he said as Karen pulled a face. Minutes later Danny came in. Joseph and Karen bit down hard on their lips to stop themselves bursting out laughing.

"Ok guys," Danny said. "What did you do to my desk?"

"Danny, I can honestly tell you," Joseph began before he was interrupted.

"You know what? I don't care," he said, sitting down at his desk. "I am going to eat my lunch in piece and not let anything you have done to my desk or chair, get to me." Danny leaned over and picked up his coke. He opened the lid and it squirted all over him, covering him in coke.

Joseph burst out laughing. "That's for the picture, you bastard," he said, falling off his chair in hysterics.

"Oh for fuck's sake," Danny said, looking down at his clothes, "They are ruined." Danny shook his head. "I don't care Joseph, I am not going to let it get to me. Like I said, I am going to eat my lunch in piece." Danny sat down. The sticky liquid of the coke was sticking him to the chair and Joseph and Karen, who were still laughing, could see that it was really bothering him.

Vallejo walked out of his office. "How is the paperwork coming on?" He asked and glanced at Danny. "What happened? A paper bag going off made you wet yourself?"

Joseph could barely breathe through laughter as Vallejo walked back into his office. "I am glad it is nearly the end of the day," Danny said, as he glanced up at the clock by the door. There was only a half hour left of school.

After a while, when Joseph and Karen had stopped laughing together, they decided to chat with Danny. "How's the karate going Danny?" Karen asked.

"Good, I am really learning a lot," he said and did a karate chop through the air. He might have been serious, Joseph couldn't tell, he just hoped he wasn't. As the chop Danny delivered couldn't cut through butter.

"You will be the next Chuck Norris in no time Danny," Karen remarked, and got back to the paperwork, which she was getting through at a steady pace, waiting for the day to end.

Joseph's mind was entirely taken over by Ingrid as they were going out tonight to a Chinese, all you can eat restaurant which he knew she liked. He had learnt quite a lot about her in the one month that they had been together, and he was surprised about how much he did not know before, as they had always been friends.

"So," Trevor said. "It all went well, then?"

Ingrid nodded. They were now in the headquarters of the Monty hideout. There was a clock on the wall and several ping pong tables leaned up against the wall. Harry sat down at the table. "They are good Trevor, very good."

Trevor looked over to Mud, who was standing the corner, watching. He may be a dirty kid, but he never spoke, at least not in front of Fillmore and Ingrid. Fillmore began to think that he only spoke to Trevor. "Mud, you watched them, how were they?"

Fillmore panicked a little, Mud was watching them the whole time and they didn't even notice. He made a mental note to look out for him when he went back to the safety patrol after school for his regular clothes. Mud looked up and nodded, ever so slightly, and there was a mutter of approval from the rest of the gang members who were there. Fillmore suspected that Mud was hard to impress.

Trevor nodded to the rest of them. A large kid said. "All right then, you're in." He paused menacingly, "but any funny business, and you will regret it."

Fillmore had been threatened before, but he did not doubt his ability to kick the shit out of anyone in this room one on one, but all of them. The threat did kick home a little, but he didn't let Ingrid know.

The bell rang loudly, as there was a bell right outside the basement section that they were in. The rest of the people got up, so Ingrid and Fillmore followed them. "We will see you, here, tomorrow then," Trevor said. "We will be here whenever, we have some jobs for you two to do."

It took Fillmore and Ingrid a while to convince themselves they were not being followed. When they were certain, they headed back to the safety patrol. They opened the door and saw Vallejo, Karen and Joseph, waiting for them. They shut the door behind them.

"So, how did it go," Vallejo asked.

"It went well, I think we are in now," Ingrid replied, and walked over to Joseph.

"Is there any information on the gang?" Karen asked, whilst watching Ingrid sit down with Joseph.

"None yet," Fillmore replied. "I've got a plan though. We are going to work with them, do their jobs until we get the dirt on their leader Trevor, who is another genius, or a really smart kid. Then blackmail them for information. We can't bring them down and the gang."

"Don't forget Fillmore," Edward said, who was sitting on his computer. He had been silent until now, and as such no one had notice he was their. "A name will do, even a member."

Fillmore nodded. "You wanna walk home then?" he asked the rest of them.

"Yeah," they said, all except Vallejo, who shook his head, said goodbye and went back into his office. Edward logged off his laptop and packed it in his bag before limping over to them.

"So, Ingrid," Fillmore said. "Wanna hang out tonight."

Ingrid, Fillmore, Joseph and Edward were walking home, as they lived in a similar direction. Edward was watching the three of them, as the interaction was very interesting. From what he could see, Ingrid like Joseph, but still had feelings for Fillmore. Joseph, because he was an idiot, couldn't see it. Edward doubted that Fillmore could either.

"Sorry Fillmore," Ingrid replied. "Me and Joseph are going to the Tanjori Palace for Chinese, tomorrow though."

"Ok then," Fillmore replied. "So, how are you two going?"

Edward smirked, this was always an interesting question to ask, and could always end badly. "Really good, actually," Joseph replied. Joseph and Ingrid were walking hand in hand, which Fillmore was starting to get used to. "One month now, Ingrid." Joseph said.

Ingrid smiled. "Anyway," Edward said, as public displays of emotion annoyed him, mostly because he couldn't feel for others. "When you two young idiot stop winding Fillmore up, can you tell me the anything else about the Monty gang."

Ingrid shook her head, and ignored the Fillmore comment. "Run Trevor through the database, maybe you can find more from that."

"That is the plan," Edward replied, who had already run through many plans in his head to take him away from his pain and loneliness.

Fillmore looked at Edward and did something no one had done before. "Edward, do you want to come over mine for a bit, play on C.O.D or something."

Edward looked up, surprised and raised his eyebrow. "Alright then," he said. This was interesting; no one had ever invited him round to their house. So, he thought, why is Fillmore?

Karen and Frank had been getting along well on his first day back. They spoke quite a lot when Frank came into the H.Q. One thing they had found out was that they lived on the same, wealthy, street. Frank's parents had become incredibly wealthy since middle school, as they had won the lottery. They had bought a house on the same, millionaire area as Karen, which meant they could walk home together.

"How's has being back at school been then Frank?" Karen asked.

"Well, it's as good as school can be," Frank laughed and brushed his hair out of his eyes. He was very tall now, about as tall as Joseph, who was now a giant. "Though I did enjoy it."

"Why aren't you coming back to the safety patrol?" Karen asked.

"Had enough, really," he replied. "School politics should be fun. Besides, you seem to have a pretty good profiler anyway."

"Edward?" Karen said. "He is good, but I prefer you. He doesn't really like, well anything really."

Frank laughed. They had reached their street. The houses in this area were huge; most of them had at least twelve bedrooms among others. "Are you looking forward to my party on Friday?" Karen asked.

"Yeah," Frank nodded. "I take it your not only inviting the safety patrol."

She shook her head. "I have invited loads of people," she said. "But only the safety patrol, the X middle school one, is allowed to sleep over."

"Nice," Frank replied. "Any from my grade?"

"Yeah," she said. "There are quite a few. To be honest, I am a little worried. There is going to be booze, and I am not sure I can keep a tab on things. This is the first time I have taken interest in friends outside of the safety patrol."

"Don't worry about it," Frank soothed. "I'll look after it, and get a few of my old friends too."

Karen smiled, her mind softened by the knowledge. She had been worried for a while about how many people were coming and how they would behave. However, she was really looking forward to the party; no doubt it would be a night to remember.
