Chapter 12- The Plan
"You've killed her!" Tom shouted. A guard put his hand over his mouth.
"Check her vital signs!" the dr. ordered. A scientist with a tablet stood in front of Ashlea and scanned her. She looked at the dr. and shook her head.
"No! How could you let this happen!" the crime minister screamed.
"Wait, the scanner's picking up a very faint pulse" said the scientist.
"Take that boy back to his cell and send U19 to medical! We want her in top condition" the crime minister ordered and Tom was blindfolded and taken back to his cell.
Aniesha and Dan had stayed overnight in HQ. They had used every scan and tracker they had to try and see what was going on inside the base but to no avail. They were all worried sick especially Aniesha. She was sat at the table quietly. Zoe came over and hugged her.
"We'll get him back. I promise we'll think of something" Zoe said. Aniesha smiled but suddenly, a message flashed on the screen. Aniesha and Zoe stood up and everyone looked. Frank accepted it and on the screen was a stern crime minister.
"Hello every MI9 agent viewing this message. We have something that belongs to you and in exchange I want something that belongs to us. Give us V95 and we'll give you your fellow agent. Meet us outside the Macine fields tomorrow, 1pm sharp or they'll be hell to pay!" The message ended.
"Oh god! What are we going to do?" Dan asked.
"We can't give up Zoe but we need to get Tom back!" Aniesha exclaimed.
"Maybe we could ambush them and then sneak Tom out or something?" Dan said. He looked and Zoe.
"I have to go. You need Tom more than you need me" Zoe said. Dan held her hand and looked at her face to face.
"No, I won't let them take you! We'll find a plan to get you both. They can't be that hard to beat well unless their robots but I doubt it" Dan said.
"Wait that's it!" Stella exclaimed. They all looked at her.
"MI9 research has recently developed a robot that can take the shape and appearance of any person and it can even show the human insides if they scan it. It's absolutely fool proof!"
"How would we control it though?" Aniesha asked.
"We can control it from HQ. I'll contact the research centre to see if it's ready" Frank said. They nodded and Frank made a call. After five minutes of Frank ranting and raving to technical about why it was important they needed the robot, they agreed.
"They said yes and we have to pick it up in an hour" Frank told. They nodded but suddenly, Aniesha's phone vibrated. It was her mum. After she had spoken to her, her face suddenly changed to annoyance and disappointment.
"Guys, I'm sorry but I've got to go. It's Easter Sunday and the family's coming" she said. She gave Zoe a hug. "Good luck" she said to them when she was about to get into the lift and left
"Come on, let's get ready" Frank said.
"Wait a minute, where's my spy pod" Dan asked.
Tom was in his cell. He was sat on his bed with his head in his hands. Lots of questions were buzzing through his mind. What was their plan? What would they do to him? Would the team ever rescue him? Suddenly, he had a vision of Dan, Aniesha, Zoe, Frank and Stella laughing at him for getting captured and not caring about him whatsoever. This made him punch a wall which hurt a lot! But just as he thought his luck had run out, the brick that he punched had pushed back, opening a hatch in the floor! He looked down it to reveal a short ladder with a tunnel at the bottom! Perfect, he thought. He knew he had to escape but he couldn't leave Ashlea! He thought of a plan which where he would escape his cell and find his way to the medical centre if the tunnel ran under it. If not then he would just find somewhere near to it and take Ashlea. He didn't know the way round the base though. It was huge! She could have been anywhere. He had to try something so he got into the hatch, closed it (there was a button at the side) and made his way. There were lights in tunnel fortunately. He came to a hatch. "I can't open it, I'll reveal myself!" he whispered to himself. He sat there, sweating and almost crying. It's hopeless he thought. Suddenly, he heard a beep. This startled him but when he looked he found… Dan's spy pod! He opened it desperately and contacted HQ. In HQ they were about to leave when the computer flashed. DAN flashed on the screen.
"Don't open it could be KORPS!" Stella advised
"Well who would get the correct frequency for our channel" Frank said. Stella realised that it had to be Tom and opened it. Luckily for them it was Tom
"Tom! Are you alright? How did you get Dan's spy pod" Zoe asked.
"In my cell I well stumbled upon a hatch for a tunnel and I found his spy pod. I'm not alone, there's a girl called Ashlea or the U1 9 project with amazing powers. But she's ill and I need to get her out safely. I don't have a clue where I'm going and their going to track this call anyway" Tom explained.
"I can help with that! We have some new MI9 software that can make any call invisible to trackers" Frank said and activated it. "You should be good. Stella we may not require the robot after all. Tom we'll guide you to get Ashlea back. Dan contact Aniesha and tell her what's happening" he ordered.
"Sounds like a plan!" Tom exclaimed quietly.
Hope you enjoyed it! I think this could be the third to last chapter or something so sorry guys but it's been fun writing it! Please review! Samiii xoxoxoxox
