AN: I don't own MI High or anything else you recognise, I just own Demi and Jamie.

Stella explained that our mission was to find out what Bobby Bleach, the creator of some cleaning spray, was doing with large amounts of Extranium, which was usually used for weapons. Tom and I were on comms in HQ, as usual. If I was honest, I didn't really want to go back on the field. I mean, HQ had biscuits, and wasn't really dangerous. And the team out there didn't really need me. We were only required when our team were inside Bleach's factory, leaving me and Tom talking about random stuff. "You'll find someone one day. Those girls will realise how brilliant you are, and then they'll all come running." I commented, seeing that he still looked upset.

"Thanks. If not, I've always got you though." He said, smiling at me.

"Yup, I'm always here. You lucky boy." I joked. "Anyway, you've still got to ask me your question. Remember, from Boldovia?" Tom turned red again, and said,

"It doesn't really matter." I sighed,

"Come on, you can ask me anything!" I said, smiling.

"Well, it doesn't really matter now, but I was wondering if you..." He said before being interrupted by my phone ringing.

"Sorry." I said, before answering it. "Hello?"

"Dems, I need help!" Olly whispered.

"Why are you whispering?" I asked.

"It's kinda embarrassing. I've locked myself in the science cupboard."

"Really? How the hell did you manage that Olly?" I questioned, causing Tom to sigh.

"Well, it wasn't my fault. Jamie broke the key, and now we're both stuck in here. Can you help?"

"Fine." I said, through gritted teeth, before hanging up. "I'm gonna have to go. Olly has managed to lock both himself and Jamie in the science cupboard. Can you cope managing the mission by yourself?" I asked Tom. He nodded.

"Sure. Go and save your friends, I'll be fine." He said, smiling. I nodded, and entered the lift.

After somehow managing to pick the lock on the cupboard, Olly burst out panting. "You OK?" I asked, noticing how red he was.

"I'm claustrophobic. That was like my worst nightmare." Olly said, having now calmed down. Oh god, now I feel guilty. Thankfully, he'd only been in there for 5 minutes, but if I'd known, maybe I could have got here faster. "Thanks for help Dems. I'll look after him." Jamie said, crouching beside him. Was there something going on between them? I'd thought Jamie wasn't over Harry, but maybe I was wrong. I nodded, and left, discovering Tom on his laptop in the hallway. "Tom? What are you doing?" I asked, seeing that he was still running the mission. "I'm hacking Bleach's firewall. Frank's already told me off, so don't start. How's Olly?" He asked.

"He's fine. Jamie's looking after him." He nodded, as we were interrupted by two of Melissa's friends.

"Hi Tom. It turns out we could do with some help on our project after all." One of them said.

"We need to know how to speed up a chemical reaction?" The other said, whilst craning her neck, as if she was looking for someone.

"Oh, that's easy. You just need heat. Heat speeds up any chemical reaction..." Tom said before Melissa appeared and interrupted him,

"Yeah, so we were wondering if you'd seen Dan anywhere? He's always disappearing." They then walked off, leaving Tom upset.

"One day Tom. One day, they'll see it." I said, before hugging him. "And then you won't need me. I'll just be the stupid girl next-door." I said, before walking off. I went to go and find Olly and Jamie but they were gone. I knelt down, upon seeing something sparkle on the ground. I picked it up and recognised it. My pendant. The one that Patterson had taken before... Beside it was a note, in scrawled handwriting.

Ready for round two Demietra?

-Patterson

I turned the note over, and discovered it was on the back of a photograph, taken from a CCTV camera of me from a few days ago. He was still watching, and he wouldn't go until he got what he wanted. But what was that?

AN: I'm going to leave it here! Hope you enjoyed! So, Patterson is back! And Tom has still yet to ask Demi his question! He'll be able to ask it at the end of this episode, I swear! Although in the meanwhile, feel free to guess as to what that question is! And, there is another huge shock to come to Demi concerning someone she trusts. Finally, after today, I won't be posting as many chapters as I start school tomorrow, but I promise I'll try to post at least one chapter a day. Does anyone actually read these things? Or am I just writing them for no reason?
