Chapter Seven
Amanda sat at her computer desk contemplating whether to go to chat or not now that she knew who Newbe was. Even though Jonas had started to make friends with her, what would he think if he found out that she knew and continued to hide the fact, she could kiss the new found friendship with him goodbye.
She knew she had to talk to someone so logging on she hoped that Jonas wasn't on line so she could talk to her friend.

You have 2 friend online.. Newbe and Goldenlion
Goldenlion: Hey Amanda, how you doing? I hope you've solved those problems we were talking about the other day.
Newbe: Hey Capmunroe how are you doing.
Capmunroe: Hey Goldenlion, Newbe great to see you both again.
Newbe: So your real name is Amanda then Capmunroe?
Capmunroe: Yep that would be my name, anyway just came online to try and talk to Goldenlion before she heads off to bed as it's late over there in England so just hang around for a while and I'll be right with you, ok Newbe?
Newbe: sure no problem I'll be right here.
Private chatroom of Capmunroe
Capmunroe: Louise, are you trying to make him find out who I really am?
Goldenlion: Sorry Amanda I forgot there for a second, anyway how are things going?
Capmunroe: Well I made him talk to me and I found out the reason he was treating me like something he trod on.
Capmunroe: We talked, we decided that he was in the wrong and now I think were starting to be friends.
Goldenlion: Good for you.
Capmunroe: No it's not, I was hoping that he wouldn't be online because if he finds out that I know I think we'll be back to beyond square one.
Goldenlion: Ahh, I see your problem, are you going to tell him.
Capmunroe: I don't know just yet.
Just then Amanda noticed something on her screen and realised what it was but didn't want to let on that she knew.
Capmunroe: Louise can you do me a favour.
Capmunroe: I've got to go, can you please let Newbe know and say sorry for me as I've got to check something out k.
Goldenlion: k no problems just keep me informed about how things go.
Capmunroe: Sure no problem. Bye.

Amanda stared at her computer screen for a few minutes then set to work verifying whom she thought it was and if it was, well payback time is near.
Jonas was on chat when Goldenlion, one of Capmunroe's friends said she had to go as something important had come up. Slightly disappointed and sad Jonas logged off the web and started some of the translating that he needed to do before tomorrow morning.
An hour passed and Jonas was almost at the end of his translation when there was a knock at his office door and Amanda popped her head around and said "Jonas have you got a second, I need a quick word."
"Sure come in" Jonas said waving her to come in and sit down which she did.
Picking up an object from his desk Amanda started to fidget with it. "Jonas there's been something that I've been meaning to tell you since the mission and I've just found out some more information which could make this situation a little bit more interesting" Amanda said looking over at Jonas nervous.
"What situation, what are you talking about Amanda because I'm very busy here and I need to get this translation in before tomorrow morning" Jonas said slightly losing his temper.
"I know your Newbe" Amanda said hoping that he would catch on so she wouldn't have to explain everything.
"So you know my screen name big deal" Jonas said taking a drink of his now cold coffee to wet his parched mouth.
"I'm Capmunroe" Amanda said and Jonas spit the coffee over the table hitting Amanda all down her front.
Jonas, now red faced looked over the table at Amanda who although had just been given a coffee shower was staring right back at him waiting for his reaction. Jonas opened his mouth to say something then quickly closed it again, then as soon as it closed it open again and he spoke, "how long have you known?"
"Ever since the briefing where the Colonel was taking the micky out of you because you were talking to me" Amanda said then continued. "That's why I tried talking to you on the planet because online you are always friendly with me, but in person you always haven't been, so I thought it was worth a try."
"Oh" was the only word Jonas could get out of his mouth, as he knew she was right.
"There's more" Amanda said again looking down at her hands.
"More?" Jonas repeated.
"Yeah Sam and Jack know, they've been ghosting me like they have been you, but there's one thing that they don't know" Amanda finished off.
"What's that, because from what you've just said it sounds like they know everything" Jonas said sounding down as he knew Jack would be teasing him for months with this.
"Ahh, well that's where we could have some fun with this. They know that I know but they don't know that you know so we can keep them occupied thinking we're chatting online when really we're planning our revenge."
"You know what Amanda, I really like the way you think" Jonas said smiling and finally getting the gleam back into his eyes, then the smile turn mischievous and he said "Well, what exactly do you have in mind my dear Capmunroe?"
