This is like the third update today. Usually I am a quick updater but I don't think I have ever stretched to three updates in one day! I have way too much time on my hands. (I lie, I'm supposed to be revising for a load of tests I have on the first day back from school :-/
To say that Dan and Neish weren't happy about being dragged back to cold England was a bit of an understatement! Dan had been in Spain, topping up his non-existent tan and impressing girls with his six pack. Aneisha had gone to Africa to catch up on her family.
Dan was happy it was a mission they were coming back for and not something stupid like Frank or Stella wanting them to tidy up the base. It was ridiculous, most, if not all, of the mess was Tom's! That happened during the Christmas holidays and no one was happy about it. All the girls had been in the middle of some really big shopping spree with the Christmas money they had. Dan and Joe had been going up to a free running show up in Brighton. The only person who wasn't bothered by the interruption was Tom, who was asleep in the base, even though everyone else arrived at the base to clear up about 2:30 pm!
"Why the hell are we here? You promised us no missions for the holidays!" Aneisha shouted at Stella.
"Because this is a really important mission. The whole of M.I.9 could be in danger if you don't work with us here!" Stella shouted back. All they needed was a shout down.
"Right, earlier today Keri, Rachel and Olivia were attacked. Tom found that it was MAFIA," Stella was interrupted by Aneisha.
"OMG! I am not fighting the Mafia! They will bloody kill us!" Aneisha screamed.
"No, they're not the real Mafia. They're a copycat group. Their name stands for Main Afflicting Force In Action." Stella continued. "Tomorrow you will find where they are based and get any information about what they want. You will come back and we will think of what to do from then. Tom will be on Coms whilst you 6 split into pair where you will do whatever you can to get information. Tom will give you gadgets tomorrow."
"What will our parents say?" Dan asked.
"We have told them you, Dan, have been specially selected to do a Free Running residential training camp with Matt McCreary. Neish, we have told your parents you are at a residential acting camp for the week. They both believe us so you will be sleeping here for the week." Frank explained. The group mumbled their agreements.
Joe, Olivia and Rachel went to bed against their will. Frank and Stella (or what the whole team would say, FRELLA) sent them to bed because it was 8:30 pm and they would only get a maximum of 10 hours sleep which wasn't enough apparently!
Tom and Keri went into the living room, followed by Dan and Neish where they turned on the TV. They were going to watch Non-Stop until about 10 when they had to go to bed because of an 'early rising' the next day. Keri and Neish went to make popcorn, leaving the boys to catch up on everything they had missed.
"So when are you going to ask Aneisha to officially be your girlfriend? You have been on so many dates already." Dan asked.
"Says the boy who is now dating his ex's sister!" Tom argued.
"Yeah, well..." Dan said, trailing off. "Any way, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease ask her already!" Dan begged. This holiday had changed him. He was more annoying. Then again, Tom found everyone annoying. Dan was annoying in a good, best friend kind of way though.
"Ask who what already?" Neish asked.
"Nothing, nothing at all." Tom quickly said. The rest of the night faded off quickly, them all falling asleep quickly, Tom from the running, Keri from the shopping and fighting and Dan and Neish from jet lag, although it wasn't too bad.
