Chapter 23- After the Shadow Games (VIII)
Hey guys! I'm back from Summer Camp with my church! For those of you who care, I had an amazing time! Yesterday I finished my first chapter of my new 'surprise' story! Yay! But I'm going to publish it when I've finished this one. So I wish I could ramble on about camp and stuff, but I've got a chapter to write! Hope y'all enjoy it!

Frank was sorting through some files on one of the computers in HQ when he heard the clacking of heels growing louder and louder. He turned around and saw Stella standing outside the tunnels with some sort of documents on her hand, closely held by her chest.
"Hey, babe. What's up?" Stella laughed, still thinking about all those things he had written while Frank looked confused at her reaction.
"Nothing much, just reading some documents. Would you like to read some? They are really quite interesting." She placed them down on the round table in the middle of HQ and spread them out so Frank could read them.
Frank leaned on the white table, pulling a document towards him. As he read the first few sentences, his eyes widened. His arm that was holding the document started to shake and he turned around, looking nervously at Stella.
"W-where did you g-get these?" He trembled and Stella smirked at his expression; scared and confused.
"Well, a little birdie told me that these were on your old computer in the Bunker so I went to have a look. I though you would be like to reminded of how 'beautiful my eyes are' and 'how they sparkle when I smile'." Frank flashed a nervous smile her way and she tried to hold back her giggles.
"Uh…look Stel. It's not what it looks like, honest! I was just um…uh…" Frank started to sweat and he wiped it away with the back of his hand. Stella started to let out her giggles which made Frank more nervous.
"Oh Frank… I'm actually flattered about these, even though it was ten years ago." She pulled him into a hug just as they heard the lift doors open.
"So Frank…take it you read the documents. I thoroughly enjoyed reading them event though I was disgusted by some of them; I thought Stella would like to read them herself." Tom smirked and Frank shot him a glare. He pulled out of the hug slowly and narrowed his eyes at Tom while the others were laughing.
"I'm going to get you Tom, you and everyone else that was involved in this conspiracy." He glanced at the others which made them laugh harder.
"Where is Rose?" Aneisha asked Dan in between giggles, quietly.
"She went back to the warehouse. She wants to see Frank when we whip his and Stella's ass at this Prank War." This made Aneisha laugh harder.
"Ok thanks."
"So…we are going to head back, we've got school and stuff." Tom chuckled a bit and then walked into the lift, followed by the others.
When the teenagers reached the top, they ran out of the school as fast as they could and raced back to the warehouse. When they got there, Tom almost died (again), so Aneisha had to help him breathe (again).
"Thanks Neish." Tom was still taking deep breaths. Rose borrowed Tom's laptop to see where the doppelgangers were.
"Alright, so the doppelgangers are entering the class right about, now." Rose said just as the doppelgangers sat down doing what they would usually do in Mr Flatley's English class; Keri twirling her hair, looking bored, Dan staring off into space dreaming about Zoe, Tom hiding a game console under his desk and Aneisha looking like she's paying attention but is really bored and waiting for her pencil to flash.
Finally, their pencils flashed and they quietly walked out of class while Mr Flatley's back was turned and ran across to the janitor's cupboard. Aneisha slid open the light switch/thumb scanner and placed her thumb on the biometric panel. They all clamped inside while Keri pulled the broom. They shot down to HQ and when the lift doors opened, they were welcomed by Frank and Stella eating each other's faces off. The real spy's and Rose were still disgusted by this even though they weren't actually there.
"Guys! Get a room!" Doppelganger Tom made gagging noises and Frank and Stella pulled away, looking sheepish and embarrassed.
"Never thought I'd say this, but I agree with Tom." Doppelgangers Keri also looked disgusted and Tom frowned at her. She just shrugged.
"Um…anyway team, we still have a mission." He and Stella turned towards the big projector screen.
"This is Marcus Cole, head of a furniture company known by the name of TORZ-OO Furniture. M.I.9 agents have recently discovered that they are a part of KORPS-"
"Wait…isn't that TORSO? Department of weaponry and explosives?" Tom asked and Stella nodded.
"M.I.9 have also discovered that every person that has bought a piece of furniture has been robbed. Your mission is to find out how KORPS are doing it and stop them, fast."
"Mission on." Dan, followed by Aneisha and Keri walked into the lift.
"Aneisha, impersonate a buyer while Dan, you and Keri infiltrate the company and see what KORPS have done." The lift doors closed.
"Alright, let's do this." Tom slouched on his chair and turned around to face his computer.
"I hope they're going to be alright. This is KORPS and TORSO is the department of weapons and explosives. " Stella looked nervous.
"Shh…Stel. They're going to be fine." Frank pulled her into a hug.
"Yeah, no pressure, except for the fact that they could possibly never come back." Doppelganger Tom stated sarcastically. Frank shot him a look that said Not helping Tom. Stella was shaking even more now.
"Hey, I was just joking. Gosh guys…"
"Frank what if they don't? What if they don't come back alive?"
"Stel, don't even think about it, Tom was just being a moron. If course they're going to come back, alive and well." Stella had calmed down a bit, but Frank wasn't 100% percent sure of what he had just said either.
Will the team come back alive? Or will this be the last mission they will ever go on?
