AN: So as usual, I don't own MI High, or anything you may recognise. I just own Demi, Carrie and Jamie.

I eventually came around in a darkened room. After the ringing in my ears faded, I heard crying. "Hello? Who's there?" I called into the dark.

"My name is Rueben. My father locked me in here."

"That's horrible! Why?"

"Because I was ruining the plan. Who are you?"

"I'm Demi. I don't know why I'm here."

"Ahh, now that's a lie Demietra. You know all too well why you're here." A voice called from the doorway. Simon Howard knelt down next to me, and pulled my face to look at him. "Now, where's your mother?"

"Last I heard, Brazil. But that was 13 years ago, so it may have changed." I jokingly said.

"Ha, Ha. Now, I'll ask once more. WHERE IS YOUR MOTHER?" Howard yelled.

"I DON'T KNOW!" I cried, while trying to move. Oh, of course I'm tied up. Kidnapping lesson 101.

"Well, you'd better remember soon, or else my employers will be very mad at you." He said, getting up, and locking the door behind him.

"Great." I muttered, leaning against the wall. "There's gotta be a way out of here." I said, after a long silence. I tugged at my ropes once more, and the snapped. Little education for you, Kidnapping Lesson 102 is never kidnap a spy who's been taught to fight since pre-school. I got up, and ran over to the slumped over form of Rueben. I untied her, and picked up her body. It wasn't fair to leave her behind. As I tried to pick the lock, I heard a door somewhere slam open. "MI9! Simon Howard, you are under arrest for the kidnapping of Marcus Rowling, Ashley Bolton, Demietra London and Felix Johnson." Never before have I been so glad to hear Stella's voice. The cellar door opened to reveal the form of my father and Tom. I flung myself at my father and he held me. "Shush, It's Ok, we're here to get you out." He whispered, as we left the cellar.

"Wait. Rueben!" I said, trying to turn around to pick her back up.

"Who's Rueben?" Tom asked, looking more at Frank then me. He shrugged, and turned on the cellar light, revealing nothing.

"But, she was just here! I talked to her!" I said, thoroughly confused. My father passed me over to Tom, and headed down. Tom begun running his hands through my hair, as if he was attempting to calm me down. His hand went down to trace my jawline, as he said, "He didn't hurt you, did he?" I shook my head, just glad to be safe in his arms. "Maybe this explains the missing girl." Frank called, ruining our moment. I turned, to see my father stood by a hole in the ground, that had once been covered by a rug. "That's weird. She said her father locked her down here, why would she disappear?"

"Unless she wasn't really who she said she was..." Frank called, holding up a piece of cloth that looked similar to the one Dan had pulled off the group who had attacked the Grand Master. I hadn't seen what she had been wearing, it had been too dark. I wasn't sure she was really a girl. "Well, let's go and ask him what he knows about the girl in his cellar." Tom said, and I nodded. Howard was being restrained by 2 MI9 agents, and he frowned at me.

"Who was the person in your cellar?" I said, sitting opposite him.

"The child of my employer." Howard eventually replied.

"And who's that?" He stayed silent, so I asked again, "Who is your employer?" He sighed, and looked away, which caused me to snap, "Who is your employer? TELL ME!"

"Well, they weren't stupid enough to tell me their real name. I'll whisper to you what their codename was. I don't trust nerd-boy." He said looking at Tom.

"Leave him alone. Wait, what?" I asked.

"My employer paid me and my team to follow you around. Now, do you want to know what I know, or not?" Sighing, I knelt by him, and he whispered a name in my ear. A Name I recognised. A name of a person that I haven't seen in a while. Since Summer to be exact. I knew who was after me. And it was the person I suspected least. Seeing my surprise he said, "It's always the person you suspect least who betrays you."

AN: And I'm gonna leave it there! So who do you reckon has been paying him to follow Demi? All will be revealed! Now, once I've resolved this story arc, do you want me to continue the story itself with other original stories and maybe some of the TV episodes?
