A/N- I am incredibly sorry for not updating in sooooo long but I've been flogged with assignments. I will try to update more often.

Tom's P.O.V
I saw Dan walk out of the interrogation room and he did not look happy, looks like Annabel really got to him, not that it's too hard to figure out where Dan's sore spots are. But Annabel didn't look at all happy to be here or now stuck in her cell. I didn't mean to be so harsh or put her through an interrogation with a girl she didn't know and even though Aneisha is my girlfriend she can still be pretty damn terrifying when she wants to be. She needed a friend so I went to talk to her.
I entered her cell. She gave me look that even the blind could tell said "the next time I see you I will kill you."
I felt guilty; it would've been so much easier if she had never of met me.
"Look Annabel I'm sor-" I started before I she cut me off.
"Do you work for MI9?" she asked.
I sighed taking a deep breath before I answered, "Yes," I replied.
"Are you actually obsessed with Blade Quest?" she queried.
"Everything before this morning was real, the only thing that got you on the MI9 radar was the 6 O'clock news last night."
"Ha," she half laughed, half sighed," the six O'clock news was one of my finest moments that actually succeeded."
"I must say, earlier today when I was reading your file I couldn't believe that you were the same girl I met online. I mean come on that stuff is impressive for a 14 year old."
She smiled," and if you are working for MI9 now and you hacked into the mars rover last year...you're 15...," she trailed off at the last part, she was clearly trying to work out how old I was when I started hacking.
"I was 12," I say just as she had worked it out and was about to answer," the night I hacked into the Mars Rover was the night I got recruited for MI High."
"What does MI9 want with me?"
"Your illegal activities concerned them, they thought it was a bit suspicious that you had done all the things you have just cause you felt like it. They thought you were working for a higher authority" I answered simply.
"When you say 'higher authority' you really mean 'criminal mastermind'?" She asked with a tone in her voice that told me she already knew the answer to it.
I was about to leave when she asked,
"Why did you take my brother as well as me? I mean you wanted me because of my hacking but what would Jake know?... Seriously," Annabel asked," it's not as though he reads computer code."
"If you didn't open up they thought Jacob might know something useful. And if I know Dan- and trust me I do, then he will still want to interrogate Jacob," I explained.
"So Dan is the one with the blonde hair and the temper as short as a leprechaun, the one who is in his own personal form of a living hell because this Zoe girl left him?" she asked.
I sighed and tilted my head backwards,
"Let's put it this way, he would rather wedge bamboo shoots underneath his fingernails than let anything happen to her."
There was a length of silence whilst Annabel calculated the odds of Zoe returning and how long it would take Dan to get over her if she didn't. Until she said, "When Jake has his interrogation will the intimidating girl be in there with him?" She questioned clearly concerned for her brother.
"Ahh," I chuckled," Aneisha. She's my girlfriend... and I care about her but she can be damn intimidating when she needs to be. But then again that's one of the things I like about her plus it helps out in missions."
She stared at me as if she thought by doing that she could read through my walls of encryption and decipher my life's story.
"Try to get some rest, I suspect they will be starting Jacob's interrogation soon," I advised getting up and walking out but before I got out the door I said," in this scenario I think Aneisha will be less intimidating with Jacob than she was with you."
She nodded as I walked out.
I pulled up the interrogation room video feed as I sat down in my chair. Dan wasn't assisting Aneisha with the interrogation and Keri wasn't at the desk next to me either.
Aneisha's P.O.V
The Interrogation Room
"We were on a holiday in Japan when I first beat up a guy. He was in the process of pick pocketing... my D- my da- my Dad-" Jacob broke off letting a tear roll down his cheek. He squeezed his eyes shut.
"How long has your father been dead for?" I asked.
"Just under 3 years. He was murdered by a drug dealer. So high that by the time police found him he couldn't tell them anything. I was going through a bad patch in my life then and the police come and drop the news on us and... I didn't cope well. I wanted revenge. I used my 'five finger discount' to get a bb gun, I wasn't going to shoot him, I just wanted to hit him over the head with it. Luckily before I got around to it Annabel talked me out of it and let me in on her secret. We then used it to blackmail the drug dealer for a month," he explained.
"I'm sorry about your father. But go back to what you were saying about Japan," I said.
"We went to Japan to see the Cherry Blossom festival and whilst we were walking through the festival I saw a guy pick pocket my father from the corner of my eye, so I chased him down. I chased him half way through Ebisu, jumped across barriers, over park benches...," he trailed off," until he tripped and sprained his ankle. He dropped my father's phone and wallet. I took them and ran back to my family. I've been taking self-defence classes and teaching myself parkour, have you heard of it?"
"I think I know what you're talking about," I said knowing exactly what he was talking about considering one of my best friends was all over parkour.
"Does Annabel always let you in on what she's doing?" I asked.
"Generally speaking she will, the only time that she didn't was the time I had to sneak into her room and attempt to read her notes, emphasis on the word 'attempt'. I was able to pick out a few words like: Mars Rover, NASA, re programming but then the rest was a whole bunch of Alien code. The next night when our mother was out I confronted her and asked her if she was out of her mind.
Flashback
"Hacking into the Mars Rover!? Are you infreakingsane? Have you lost it? Jail, Sis this could lock you up for the rest of your life," Jacob said almost yelling.
"I need something big. Something people will notice me for. No one notices the girl behind the laptop- the nerd with her hair in a bun and glasses to big for her eyes. I lost the bun and wore my hair down, I started wearing contacts and yet still no one notices me," Annabel shouted at her brother. Her eyes sparkling with unshed tears and the underlying tone in her voice saying I just want someone to care.
End of Flashback
"She eventually let me in on it and told me her plan on what to do. She was about a week off when there is a news report saying that someone else had hacked into it and left his name on the face of Mars. Let me tell you she was less than impressed when she said, and I quote 'WHAT HOW?! I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THAT FOR MONTHS AND NOW SOMEONE BEATS ME TO IT! Son of a' well I guess you can fill in the rest," He explained.
"Well thank you for your information and it was lovely chatting to you but you will have to stay here over night I'm afraid. Let me show you to your room," I said.
He followed me and I opened the door to his and Annabel's room, granted it wasn't Buckingham Palace but it wasn't the side of the road either. He had to be quiet because Annabel was asleep on her bed.
