Woa ok bit of a long one longest chapter I've ever written might just write more this long but I can cross that brigde when I come to it

"We better be getting paid overtime"

(Outside the head of MI9's office)

Eight chairs are lined up along both sides of the narrow corridor outside the heads office. Oscar is sitting down on a chair closest to the door, he's twirling his thumbs wondering why he was called in during his holiday it had to be something bad. He ran his fingers through his sleeked back hair trying to think of everything that has happened over the year, trying to find any reason he could be in trouble but he couldn't think of any, they did everything as a team well most things if he was in trouble they would have been too. There was that slip up with his mum but the head had already pardoned him for that.

He leant his head back on the wall and put his hands on his knees he could only hope this wasn't a meeting to tell him they are moving him again. He liked his life he made here he liked his friends at St hopes, he liked his team who had become his family and he loved having Frank there to talk to he was the Father of the family, Oscar didn't want to leave that.

The worst part of being called in like this was the waiting, his mind had worked out a hundred reasons why he was called very few ended well for him. Just as he was convinced he was being moved he could hear footsteps coming up the corridor he looked up expecting the Head or someone like that, to his surprise he saw Melody. From the look she gave him she was just as surprised to see him.

"Oscar? " she asked as she walked up to him.

"Mel what are you doing here?" he stood up as she reached him.

"I got a call from the head asking me to come in"

"Me too"

They both sat down in chairs next to each other.

"So Mel I'm guessing you got told nothing as well"

"Absolutely zilch, zippo, nothing, naught sorry I may be a little nervous"

Oscar puts his hand on hers on the armrest.

"Hey come on it will be fine. We have faced Skul and other scarier things over this year and didn't even flinch I mean come on we can handle this"

Melody looks up at him and shows a small smile, he smiles back it's the kind of smile that could make Melody feel calm she had no idea why or how but on a mission no matter how scary or stressed she was he could always make her calm in just one look. She starts to smile more as she looks into his eye's, he can feel her hand relax under his but without him telling it to his hand starts to curl around hers and before he can even try to stop it he is holding her hand.

He wants to move away he is screaming inside his head trying to tell the rest of his body to get up and move away he can't do this, not with her, anyone but her he can't start liking her in that way she has to be just a team mate but his mind has no control over this, his own body betrays him when they both start to lean forward.

This is all they have wanted for a while just to know what one kiss felt like. When the Head's office door opened and they heard a very familiar throat clear they quickly snapped out if it and stood up to face Frank.

"Frank what are you doing here? I mean you have every right to be here but I thought this was just a meeting?" Oscar questioned

"Yes well it will be explained" he stepped to the side to let them both into the room.

They stepped through the door and found two chairs facing the heads desk both with what looked like mission folders on them.

"Agents good sit down" the head said not even looking up from her desk.

Oscar and Melody looked at each other still unsure then moved over to the chairs picking up the files and sat down. The head stood up and walked round to the side of her desk bringing up a blueprint of a building on the screen behind her.

"Now agents we need your help, we need two young agents to sneak into this factory and take back something that was stolen from us, but there's a…"

"If you don't mind me asking ma'am what are we meant to be taking back? it might be a good idea to know what this thing looks like or have some description of it." Melody cuts in.

The head looks at Frank who walks round so he is standing next to the head.

"Right well yes the head wants you to take back this" Frank brings a picture up of a smallish device on the screen "It's a proto type of a new hand held gadget that can let any agent hack into any satellite useful for missions like attacking a Skul base or things like that. The proto type isn't finished but it's still dangerous if Skul finish it they could destroy MI9 just by hacking into our satellite."

"Sorry no I'm a little lost how could hacking our satellite destroy us?" Oscar asked looking between Frank, Melody and the head.

"Osc if they get into our satellite it's not only things like our communications they will be able to hear, everything in MI9 is connected by that satellite if they get into it then they will be able to see every file, every mission, every gadget blueprint and every secret we have. Even things like hidden identities, like ours. Wait" Melody turns back to Frank and the head "That's why you didn't tell Oscar or me anything over the communicators you think Skul may have finished it already"

"It's not a risk we could take" The head responded.

"Wait lost again you said if they could get in we would be done, if you think it's already finished then why aren't we under attack? it would say where we are" Oscar once again looking puzzled.

"Even with the finished gadget getting into the satellite is one thing, communications would be easy to hear but everything else is encrypted and has fire walls it would take them a while to hack through" Melody explained to him.

"Exactly which is why we must work fast agents so if we can get back to it as I was saying you have to recover this but there's a problem that Skul base is believed to be one of the main bases in Britain and it is far away from the town so the government have decided that in four hours there is to be an assault organised by the army and not MI9 to arrest any agents inside and then an air strike but this gadget is to valuable to loose so you must be in, out and a safe distance away by the time the four hours are up."

"Ma'am I really must say again are you sure my agents are the best to take this mission? I mean have full confidence they can do it but it just seems too risky for junior agents"

"Frank chill we can handle it" Oscar said standing up from his chair.

"Yea I mean it's our job to be put in danger for the safety of the country" Melody added on as she stood up.

"Well Agent Cole, Agent Field everything you need to know as well as maps to study are in the files good luck"

With that Melody and Oscar leave to go to the transport.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

In the van on the way to the drop off point. Frank is in the back with Oscar and Melody explaining exactly what they are doing.

"Ok so do you two completely understand it's a simple in out mission, any delays you get out of there gadget or not, I'm not risking your lives" Frank looked at both of them with the most serious look either of them have ever seen him give.

"Frank we will be fine you have explained the mission like 20 times, I think it's time to talk gadgets" Melody says as she leans across the van to put her hand on Franks shaking one.

Frank takes a breath and nods slightly at her. She sits back up straight and Frank pulls a small bag up onto his lap.

"Right then we weren't expecting this mission I didn't have time to make anything new so you are using a few gadgets you have already used" Frank states looking into the bag.

"Well I'm fine with that at least we know how to use them" Oscar jokes trying to lighten the mood.

"yes quite well most of them are from missions before either of us came along which means Melody will know more about them but anyway, I'm sure you both remember the dinhaler and not forgetting ear plugs" he hands one over to each of them "laser lipstick" he hands it to Melody "oh I also found some sonic detonators in HQ" he looks at Melody "I presume from a mission"

"Oh yea we had them when HQ almost got found out we had to shut down for a week"

Both Frank and Oscar look at Melody.

"Just don't ask I'll tell you if we survive this"

"Well agents we haven't got long here a back pack each, both with your normal every mission gadgets in plus maps and Oscar in yours in a special case for the gadget you are collecting" he hands them over.

They feel the van stop, they all get out the back and Oscar and Melody put the back packs on.

"this is about half a mile away a safe distance so the van isn't spotted, the base is over that hill" he points in the direction they r facing "and you will also be picked up from that barn there" he points at a barn in the opposite direction the other side of the road about half way into a field "right well I think that's it good luck agents" Frank hugs both of them.

"Just one thing" Melody says just before Frank gets back in the van "we better be getting paid overtime" she smiles at Frank to try to calm him.

Frank gets back in the van and it drives off, Oscar and Melody look at each other and start running over the hill in front of them.

Five minutes of running later and they reach the base, they crouch behind a big rock and Oscar checks his watch.

"Ok so this big army assault and air strike is happening in 3 hours and 20 minutes ready to get started"

Melody takes the laser lipstick out of her pocket and nods. They run to the fence and using the lipstick Melody cuts a hole in the fence, when she's done they both squeeze through and run over to the wall finding a dark shaded corner to hide in.

Melody takes the map out of Oscar's bag.

"Ok so we r here on the south side of the building apparently the nearest entrance is just up there on that corner" she puts the map back in his bag and they both run down there.

He pulls on the door but its jammed he takes the lipstick off Melody and cuts round the lock and hinges.

"Ok this thing is pretty cool" he says smiling and slipping it into his pocket.

"It just wouldn't be spy work without a laser at some point" Melody jokes and they both laugh as they hold the door so it doesn't make a big bang as it falls.

They go in a run through corridor after corridor not seeing anyone.

"I don't get it if this is a main base then where is everyone I thought there would be guards" Oscar whispers as he's looking around.

Melody looks into room after room trying to find the gadget they were there to collect.

"Mel I'm being serious it's been half an hour already and we r down two floors and the only guards we have seen were outside"

" Oscar I don't know maybe they think no one would get past the guards outside, look you need to stop worrying if something really bad was about to happen I would know, you know how good my instincts are I trust them they have saved my life more times then you know"

"Yea about that how do they work" Oscar asked quietly while they are still moving through the corridors looking into each room they go past.

"Look it's just something in my past"

"Mel you can tell me I'm not going to tell anyone"

"fine you know I came to MI9 when I was young well when I was about 8 I was stolen by the people my uncle were in charge of, I spent a year imprisoned by them, they started experimenting on me early on. They wanted to make their agents better than MI9 so they were mixing chemicals, trying to make them stronger, faster and smarter. They experimented on animals first then moved to humans but no one wanted to risk their lives so they used me. They pumped me full of chemicals even tried brainwashing me it worked but I never let them know that, I acted like it didn't work after a while they gave up but not on me." Melody looks at Oscar with pain in her eyes.

"They wanted to make me into the perfect agent, use me as a weapon against MI9 so they continued experimenting on me and training me trying to make me as evil as them but the more they pushed me, the more I fought against it, the more I knew I needed to escape. I couldn't wait for MI9 to find me that would take too long and it had been a while already so I did what MI9 trained me to do, I had to bide my time watch for routines or patterns then pick the best time to escape and that's what I did, but the experiments they did on me were irreversible that's how I can remember everything, how I can run faster than you, how I can feel when something bad is about to happen and how I fight the way I do because about seven years ago I was reprogrammed that way" Melody looks away from Oscar and down at the floor nearly in tears from the memory's flooding her mind with the pain and suffering she went through back then.

He opens his mouth to say something but doesn't know how to respond to that and before he has the chance Melody is pulling him into an empty room and shutting the door.

"Mel what are you doi…." Melody puts her hand over his mouth and puts a finger to her lips then points to the door.

They both put their ears against it and hear lots of talking mixing with each other going past the door, they manage to make out one man's voice at the end.

"Look I don't care how close you are to finishing put it back in the safe room now, the Grand Master and Agent Halliday called for everyone to be in the main hall now"

Melody moves her hand away from Oscar's mouth when they can't hear any talking anymore.

"I'm glad I have you here they would have totally caught me if you hadn't pulled me in here"

"Come on we should get going" she says still finding it hard to look at him.

They peer out the door and carry on running down to the end of the corridor Oscar looks through the window of a door at the end and spots the gadget. They try to open the door but it must be locked Oscar looks at his watch.

"2 hours left we need time to get away let's do this a run no more quiet we need to get in there and then leg it" He rushes through, hearing that his mum was here must have got him a bit more worried it was never good when she came up.

Melody nods and puts her sonic blaster on the lock.

"Stand back and cover your ears" she orders at Oscar.

She twists the back of it and runs back to where he is and covers her ears too. It makes a very loud bang, Oscar runs in with the case and places it in Melody follows checking the room for anything else she shoves lots of papers in her bag not know how useful they are but she couldn't leave them with anything that might help them build a new one.

"Their coming!" Oscar shouts from the door.

Melody quickly runs over to join him they can hear the Agents running up to them.

"Dinhalers quickly" Melody suggests they both manage to put the ear plugs in just as the mass of Agents reaches them.

"STOP" a voice shouts from the back and all the agents stop in their place.

They start to move apart to let someone through. At that point Oscar and Melody come face to face yet again with Jade Dixon Halliday.

"Hello Oscar so good of you to drop by" her ruby red lips stretch into an evil smile.

Oscar isn't going to play her game not this time he's been fooled enough. He looks at Melody who nods slightly and he suddenly blows as hard as he can into the dinhaler making all the Skul agents wobble and fall into each other till they are all unconscious on the floor including Jade. Oscar and Melody start to jump over them but a hand catches Melody's foot and pulls her down.

"Ahhhhh"

Oscar looks back and can see Melody on the floor trying to shake off his mums grip on her ankle. He runs back and pulls Jade fingers apart enough to get his team mates foot out of her grasp. He helps Melody up.

"Ahhh no wait my knee it hurts I must have landed on it badly"

Oscar looks around trying to find something to help, then puts her arm over his shoulder putting his arm round her waist and helps her walk back up to the top floor.

"Oscar this is taking too long we only have an hour left it's taken us twice as long to get up here as it did to go down there, you need to go I'll take my chances with the army you need to run"

"No way I'm not leaving you, I didn't leave you when that Skul agent zapped you with the mind machine and turned you into a fish, I didn't leave you when you got moved to that academy thing and had your intelligence taken away and I am defiantly not leaving you now we have an hour to get through that door and over that hill you are coming with me even if I have to carry you"

She puts her hand on his cheek and smiles.

"Ok let's get going then" she puts her arm back around him but he can hear the Agents running up the stairs.

He picks Melody up and runs as fast as he can to the door. He puts her back down outside and puts his sonic detonator on the top of the door frame and twists it. He helps Melody get back right before it goes off and lots of bricks and wood fall over the exit blocking it completely.

Oscar helps Melody through the hole in the fence.

"Now just to try to run half a mile in" Melody Looks at her watch "ok 40 minuets"

"Hey whatever happens we do it together I can piggy back you till the hill then you'll have to walk" Oscar starts taking off his backpack but Melody just laughs.

"Oh you weren't joking ?"

"Nope dead serious but you have to hold this" he hands her the back pack "come on jump on"

He bends down a little to make it easier and Melody cautiously jumps onto his back. He wraps his arms around her thighs and she hold on to his shoulders looking behind them to make sure they aren't being followed. He walks as fast as he can for 20 minutes till they reach the start of the hill.

"Think you can walk from here" Oscar turns his head slightly to ask Melody.

" I think so" she pats his shoulders and he lets her down.

Her knee is still throbbing with pain but she doesn't want to let him know how much it hurts. They start moving him slightly in front of her holding one of her hands pulling her up slightly and she is limping as fast as she can, which isn't that fast going up a hill, as they reach the top they hear an explosion behind them. They stop and look, Melody takes the chance to sit down and take the weight off her knee.

"I guess that's the army blasting their way into the building good thing we got out when we did they are" he looks at his watch "ten minutes early" he sits down next to Melody.

"Well I only got this far out because of you if you hadn't carried me for I think 30 minutes in all then I would be right in the middle of that place all alone"

"Oh come on there was no way I was ever going to leave you in there if you didn't let me carry you then I would have sat down next to you and waited with you"

Melody looks across at Oscar.

"Really"

"Course either we both got out or we both stayed in there like I said I would never leave you" he smiles at her "and look about those things you said in there what happened in your pas. I really don't mind any of that I don't think your weird or evil or anything I know you better than that so just don't worry. All that can stay in your past and I promise I won't tell anyone"

Melody leans across and kisses his cheek. Just as he turns back to face her they hear the vans horn behind them and see Frank getting out.

"Come on I'll help you down the hill"
