Hello everybody! I hope you are enjoying the chapters so far! I've just got my new iPod touch so I've been spending a lot of time on that. At least I can read fanfiction stories on Safari… anyway on with the story. Please review after this chapter or maybe in previous chapters.

Frank walked back to St. Hearts in his soaking wet clothes, his blistering feet, exhausted legs and his head hung of shame. As he walked past the strangers of London giving him sympathetic looks, he felt like crying all over again. He trudged along the footpath until he reached the gates of St. Hearts. A trail of rain and salty water were left behind him as he pushed open the door to the first corridor. No one was in the school building at the time due to the fact that school had finished. He grabbed a couple of pieces of toilet paper out of the boys' toilets so he could wipe his thumb for the fingerprint scanner to work otherwise it would probably blow up.

As he pulled the broom and plummeted down to HQ, he didn't see the team sitting with each other, talking and laughing. As they heard the lift doors open, they saw a gloomy Frank; a side of Frank they have never seen until now. They ran up to him and started bombarding him with questions.

Aneisha, being Aneisha, stopped everyone from talking all at once. She decided to take matters into her own hands. She made everyone take a step away from Frank and asked him the worst question possible at that moment in time…

"Frank, what happened?" A tear fell onto the floor. Aneisha got him a chair to sit on. The team just stared at Frank and were all thinking the same thing, this is so unlike Frank. I've never seen him cry before.

"S-she's g-gone, f-f-f-forever."Frank stuttered. He couldn't speak in full sentences as this would make him cry all over again. He collapsed into the chair and put his head in his heads. Aneisha gently talked to him.

"Frank, who's gone?" She asked, but she already knew. She just needed him to say it aloud.

"S-S-S-Stella, s-s-she's gone. N-n-never going t-t-to s-speak to m-m-me again, e-e-ever a-a-again." Then he burst out crying. Aneisha bent down to give him a big hug. When she pulled out of the hug she gestured to the team to give him a hug too. Then she pulled the team over to a corner in HQ because she needed their help.

"Guys, we need to find out what happened. Keri and I will go to Stella's office in M.I.9 HQ and you two," She pointed to Dan and Tom, "try and get something out of Frank. Come on Ker." They walked into the lift and Dan and Tom sighed at the mess Frank was in.

Stella saw a dark figure walk past her in the gloomy weather. It had long curly hair but a male's body. She only knew one person with a girly hair-do: Frank. She tried to cry out to him but her throat was dry from crying. She tried to run after him but her legs didn't have the strength to push her to her feet. All she could do now was cry with her head in her hands.

A few minutes later she stopped crying and she stretched her legs out. She moved all of her body weight onto her legs and pushed up so she would be standing. She looked up to the dark sky; she could see a hint light meaning that it was evening. She walked to M.I.9 HQ along the dark streets of London. (See what I'm doing here…?) Only a couple of cars passed her as she reached the building. She held out her slightly wet ID card and slid it in the scanner. As her colleagues passed her, they gave her sympathetic looks. As trudged up the stairs to her office, she didn't feel so good. Chief Agents were supposed to look presentable and right now so looked as if she'd been swimming, mascara running down her face as well as her tears. She slammed the door to her office and collapsed on her sofa. She slowly thought over the events that happened today.

Being offered the cupcake, taking the cupcake, eating the cupcake, stuffing the wrapper in my pocket, heading for St. Hearts, walking out into HQ via the lift doors, arguing with Frank… She didn't remember what happened after that; probably the effects the team had warned her about beforehand.

Frank yelling at her, seeing his face, running and running, everything a blur… She opened her eyes with a start. She didn't want to see that image anymore yet that was the only thing she could think about, the yelling and Frank's face. She started to cry again, but silently so her agents wouldn't come in. She pulled her knees up to her chest and placed her head between her knees. She didn't want to remember yet that was the only thing she could think about…

Aneisha and Keri waved their arms everywhere with their IDs in hand. They were walking through M.I.9 HQ and almost every agent that passed them stopped them to look at their ID; they're not used to seeing teenagers in HQ, only adults. Aneisha and Keri were really getting pissed now.

"Look! We are M.I.9! And stop staring at us; take a picture, it lasts longer!" Keri yelled to every agent that gave them a funny look and asked to see their ID. The two girls ran up the stairs, not wanting to be stopped again. After so many faces they only wanted to see one: Stella.

They finally reached the door that said 'Chief Agent Knight'. They knocked gently on the door, breathing heavily from so many stairs. Aneisha gestured to Keri to stop breathing heavily because she heard something from inside the room: sobs. She opened the door to see Stella curled up in a ball on her sofa crying to herself.

So to leave this on a cliffy but I so need to eat right now and I need to do chores so you probably won't get another chapter until Monday because my birthday is tomorrow! YAY! SO EXCITED! Sorry again everyone!
