A.N.- Hello readers! I'm super excited that I'm getting back into writing! So author's notes will be extra exclamation point filled!

Chapter 8: Cutting Team Spades Deck (I got another pun, I must really be inspired)
"Your plan actually worked. I must admit, I'm surprised. You are quite full of those," Ace says, coming around the bend after the stranger had left.
"Your mixed messages aside, I think we should go as soon as possible. I don't know how long I can remember those directions," I state.
"Good point. They were rather specific and spoken fast. Let's get going then," Ace says, heading off along the boulder strewn path. I follow along behind, following the stranger's instructions. Eventually we reach the said tree. Scattered around the base are rocks, which I use to hit the 10th branch. It goes up, and there is a large grinding noise. A big tree up ahead opens up, and I see a stair case spiralling down. "I'll take the lead," Ace says. Once we reach the bottom of the steps, I have a deja vu moment.
"This looks almost exactly like the lab type area of the people who sent me here to defeat Team Spade..." I say in shock.
"That's because this is their former lab. Team Spades took it over," Ace responds.
"They even had the guts to do that. I will find a way to stop them if it's the last thing I do," I swear.
"I'm sure you will," Ace says with a grin. "Now let's get going, we need to stop them, and standing here chatting about it is a bit conspicuous," Ace continues. We continue on, somehow walking past members without conflict. I'm guessing it's has something to do with the technology we have on. "We've arrived," Ace says. The sign above the door says "Computer Room". We go in, and there are computers lining the walls.
"These must contain all the information on how to make the technology work!" I shout.
"Maybe they do. Why don't you check? I'll keep watch, if you find anything important, write it down, hide it, and then delete the data from the computer," Ace commands. Conveniently, next to each computer was a pad of paper and a pencil.
"Will do general," I say sarcastically, but I still get to work.
*Some time later*
"Okay Ace, that's all of it I think," I say. However, when I turn around, Ace is gone, and in his place are two buff men, who I assume are Team Spade members.
"You shouldn't be here little miss. We're gonna have to take you in," one of them said. I tried dodging past them, but was grabbed, and dragged kicking down the hallway. I was searched by a female member, they at least have that decency, and she took my notes. After waiting a long time in the cell I was thrown into, a door on the other side of the room opened. In walked Ace, who had that creepy grin on his face again.
"Hello Ruth. I knew you were rash, but I didn't know how gullible you could be when that rash. I've now captured the only threat to my team," Ace says.
"What do you mean? I thought you were trying to defeat Team Spades!" I exclaim.
"I lied. I wanted to get you to trust me, and then lure you in, and capture you. Ending the threat permanently," Ace says. "Now, if you will excuse me, I will take my leave," Ace states as he walks out the door.
A.N.- I hope you enjoyed this chapter! A nice plot twist, huh? Well, I should definitely be writing more often. Endrew out!
