AN: As usual I don't own MI High or anything else you recognise, I just own Demi and Jamie.
As Dan and Zoe continued to act out their scene, an alarm went off. Mr Flatley attempted to restore calm, as we all left the room in a huge crowd, desperate to get away from the possible danger. Janus nearly knocked me over as he pushed through. What was he running from? I looked back to see Olga running down the stairs. Oh, she's realised that we have the Aardvark. She's after us. When we made it outside, Janus confirmed my fears, and told us that we had to get out. Easier said than done. Getting away involved getting many strange looks from our class mates as we ran off down the street, not looking back. Of course we ran to Frank and Stella, hoping they could save us. "The mission has been compromised. This is an emergency evacuation!' Stella said, as Dan noticed Jamie.
"What's she doing here?" He asked looking at me.
"Agent Sanders' cover could be blown as a result of this, we need to get her out." Tom seemed amazed.
"You work for MI9?" He asked disbelievingly.
"You'd better believe it. Now, what's going on? I've just been told to look after Demi." Jamie said, turning to Stella.
"No time to explain. All of you get in the van." She said, as we obeyed her. This had never happened before. Our cover wasn't usually blown. Janus joined us in the van, due to his cover as a mole being blown. "We're going to smuggle you all back to the UK. It'll take a few days."
"WHAT? No way, I'm not staying in here for days with these lot. No offence guys." Jamie argued.
"Shut up." I muttered through gritted teeth, as my dad handed me a small white tablet. Is he trying to drug me now, what the hell is going on? "What are they?" I asked Stella.
"Knock out pills. You'll wake up in St Hearts safe and sound." Wow, they're that strong? My father looked at me and said,
"I'll be there. I promise." I sighed, and swallowed the small pill, admittedly with difficulty. I always found it hard to swallow pills without water. I then climbed into the cramped space of the van, and sat down as the door shut. As the van began to move, I felt my eyes begin to flutter shut, and I fell into a deep sleep.
I eventually woke up in what I recognised as a hallway in St Hearts. Apparently I was one of the last to wake up. Jamie was still lying on the floor, mouth wide open, snoring very loudly. My head hurt like hell. I looked up to see Tom and Zoe watching me. "Want help getting up?" Zoe asked.
"No thanks, I'm fine." I said, as I shakily stood up, and almost immediately felt my knees collapse. Thankfully Tom caught me, after a gesture from Zoe.
"You sure you're fine?" He joked, and I laughed.
"Yup, just haven't walked in a while you know?" He nodded, as Jamie said,
"Time and place lovebirds. Right, now then, where's Frank?" I rolled my eyes, and was about to reply when I noticed Olga coming around the corner. How the hell did she get here? "She must of followed us from Boldovia." Zoe said, as if she could read my mind.
"Tom, Janus, Demi get out of here, protect the Aardvark at all costs." I nodded, as the three of us left the room, leaving Zoe, Jamie, Dan and Aneisha to fight Olga. We watched as Olga took out the four of them easily, before looking up at us. We then ran off, as I watched constantly for Olga. "We should go to your base." Janus said.
"That'd lead Olga right to it." Tom argued.
"Look, we don't have much time, we need to protect the Aardvark and the best to do that is to go to HQ." I said, stressing out.
Tom sighed and opened the scanner. We then entered HQ, thankfully not changing into our spy outfits. My confusion continued as Janus snatched the Aardvark out of Tom's hands and went over to the computer and plugged it into the network. "Janus, what's going on?" I asked.
"I've gone to a lot of trouble to bring this here." He replied. Well that didn't answer my question.
"I don't understand." Tom said. I share his confusion.
"Is there anyone in there?" Janus sarcastically said, before tapping Tom's forehead. "Who do you think set off the fire alarm back at Boldovia?"
"Olga obviously." Tom replied. And then I realised, it was him wasn't it?
"That is what you are supposed to think." Janus said. "He told me you guys were smart. I wanted the mission aborted." He continued. "It was all part of my plan." And what is that plan exactly?
"What plan?" Tom said, still as confused as I was.
"I work for KORPS." He said, before turning to me and saying, "The Master will be very glad to know you're still alive Demietra." Oh God. "And in a second, I shall have all of MI9's data to go with SNARL's." Tom looked over his shoulder, as Janus was getting annoyed about the computer not working. And then I saw that the computer was a fake. Tom seemed to have realised what was going on, as he said, "Got what you wanted yet?"
"I haven't got anything! Why isn't it working?" Janus yelled, before he hit the computer screen, causing it to break. "It's a fake!"
"I wasn't talking to you." Tom said, before the wall opened to reveal Frank, Stella, My Team, and Olga? "How was I?" Tom smirked. What? "Frank what is this?" Janus asked.
"Olga said you were going to betray us. I didn't believe her. This whole thing was Olga's idea." Seeing my confusion, he said, "We didn't wake Demi or Jamie because we wanted someone with genuine confusion, hoping that'd spur Janus towards telling us the plan." I nodded. I understood.
"It was a great deal of work." Olga said.
"Every detail had to be perfect for the ruse to work."
"You had to believe you really were back at St Hearts." Olga continued.
"If Olga was wrong you wouldn't plug in the Aardvark." Zoe interrupted. "If Olga was right you would."
"Creating a replica of St Hearts was the only way to find out." Tom added. "Without running the risk of you hacking into the real MI9 network."
"Since you woke up, everything has been an illusion, an elaborate trick. You never really left Boldovia." Frank finished. OK, now I knew what happened. Can't believe I fell for Janus' act, I'm meant to detect when people are lying! God I'm thick. "Why Janus?" Frank asked. "We were friends."
"You're the past. KORPS is the future." Janus said.
"Is it really? Well, I don't want to be part of that future then!" Jamie interrupted, laughing at her own joke.
"Your only future is an MI9 prison." Dan said. Aneisha then put a device on his neck, knocking him out.
"He lived up to his namesake. Two faced god." Zoe said with disgust.
"Dad? Are you OK?" I said, seeing the upset in his face. What a stupid question, of course he's not! He nodded, before walking off. I went to go after him when Jamie grabbed my wrist. "Better not Dems. Give him a moment." I nodded, and sighed.
Unknown location.
"Master, we've located the girl." A voice called. The master smirked.
"Excellent. With her in our possession, we can get what we've been looking for for 13 years. Go get her! Bring her to me!"
"Yes, master." The voice whispered before running off. Due to unforeseen circumstances, they'd had to excel the plan. The girl must pay for what she'd done. "Johnson! Bring up video calling! I want to send a message to the girl. A little greeting if you will." A second later, the camera turned on, and the master spoke, concealing his face and voice, naturally. "Hello Demietra. You may know me as Alex Patterson, but you can call me 'the Master'. We know where you are Demietra, and no one, not even your pathetic little friends, can stop you paying for what you did. I'll see you soon. Watch your back." The Master hung up, and laughed. Soon she would belong to him, and if she didn't want to? Then she couldn't belong to anyone.
