Remember how I told you I was absolutely beyond belief terrible at maths? Well, that's just been proved again. One of my reviewers, a guest, has kindly informed me of the mistake in Chapter 5: Stark and Rosa. They've been fighting for 12 years. Not 20. 12. THATS how bad I am at maths. I mean, I don't even know how I was 8 WHOLE YEARS off. I think I may need to get tutoring or something... I'm so sorry about the long wait! I'll post two chapters to make up for it!

Dan almost dropped the phone.

"MUM! TURN ON THE TV!" He bellowed. Rosa, sensing his urgency, quickly switched it on, and went onto the news channel.

"We have just received news from our sources that Prime Minister David Cameron has disappeared, leaving the country in complete chaos. Nick Clegg is trying to calm down the general public. Here's what he had to say."

Nick Cleggs face appeared on the screen. "People of Britain, please listen. Have you forgotten yourselves? We are British. We will NOT give in to this terrorist attack. We will hold our heads high, and go about our daily business. As for the Prime Minister, while he's gone, I will take of you. Rest assured, MI9 will find him. They can protect us at all costs. Until that time comes around, please, do not show the terrorists they have won. Because they haven't."

The reporters face came back on. "This throws into light at how competent MI9 really are. If they cant protect one person, how are they meant to protect the rest of us? Needless to say, IF they get the Prime Minister back, their operation will be looked into."

Dan switched off the TV. He had gone pale in anger. "Did you hear what they were saying about us?" He growled, knuckles white.

"Yes," Rosa said, already fully equipped for a mission. She had her phone out. "Get ready, Dan. Tell the others too."

"Where are we going?"

Rosa grinned. "We're heading out to our main Headquarters. Then, we're gonna kick some ass."

Dan ran up the stairs, yelling into his phone, "Guys! Road trip!"

Half an hour later, Dan, Aneisha, Tom and Zoe were all sitting in the back of a van. Rosa and Stark were sitting out front. Dan looked distinctly disgruntled.

"Whats wrong, Dan?" Zoe worried. He did NOT look happy.

"My mother is flirting with Stark!" he hissed. They all fell silent to hear.

"You know, I never really noticed how pretty you are, Rosa."

"Oh, really? Thank you!"

Dan made a loud retching noise at this point, which had Tom in fits of silent laughter and Aneisha and Zoe glaring at him.

"KEEP AWAY FROM MY MOTHER, STARK, YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING-"

"I SHOULD THROW YOU OUT RIGHT NOW YOU LITTLE-"

"Boys, boys! Please, try and keep the peace! Dan, Stark was just complimenting me! We aren't flirting, as you put it!" Rosa said hurriedly, before either of them could finish their sentence. From what she heard yesterday, when Dan dropped something heavy on his foot in his room, he knew a range of colourful words to use to finish that sentence. She didn't even want to know what Stark had in his vocabulary.

She heard a scoff. "Oh yeah, and Tom is my one true love!"

"I am?"

"No, you idiot! Jeez, for a genius, you can be so thick sometimes!"

Rosa couldn't help smile at this comment. Her son was certainly a delight sometimes-in more ways than being her precious little angel who helped her climb out of the depths of hell (AKA KORPS).

Stark could see the smile out of the corner of his eyes, but knew that if he took his eyes off the road, then he would crash the van and they would all die. He couldn't deny it any longer. They had only properly met yesterday, and had spent only a few hours together, but hadn't he heard people talk about how if its the right person, it was like being struck by lightning? He couldn't deny it, not anymore. It had almost cost him his mission yesterday. But he didn't care.

Horatio Stark was in love.

Stella paced up and down in front of Nick Cleggs desk. Her worry lines, to her absolute horror, had got deeper over the years, even with Frank telling her to calm down.

"What do we do? WHAT do we do?!" she said, pacing even faster.

There was a knock on the door and Frank stepped in. "Stella. Stop worrying. Everything is going to be fine."

Stella stopped pacing, but not worrying. "How do you know that Frank? How do we know that-"

Frank grabbed Stella and kissed her to shut her up. Cleggs mouth dropped open. "You should be thanking me," he said to the stunned vice prime minister. "She would have talked your ear off."

"For gods sake, Frank, I-"

"Stella. Guess who's already heading down there." The way he was grinning left no doubt in Stella's mind. She sagged in relief.

"Thank God," she sighed.

"Excuse me," Nick Clegg said, "But who have we sent?"

Stella smiled confidently. "Only the best and most trustworthy team in all of MI9."

"Trust me, Mr Clegg," said Frank. "These kids are the best. They'll rescue the Prime Minister, no doubt."

"Ah," Clegg said. Then he frowned. "Wait a minute. Did you say kids?"

"Um..."

Stark couldn't take his eyes off Rosa. They were still in the van, waiting as back up in case the kids needed help. For once, he hoped that he wouldn't need to do anything, and could stay and gaze at Rosa.

She was daydreaming, with the chin in the palm of her hand, gazing out the van window. She looked around, worried about Starks unusual behaviour.

"Horatio? Are you alright?" she asked.

Horatio. His name sounded so perfect when she said it. Or maybe it was that sweet voice of hers.

Stop staring at her like an idiot, idiot! yelled his inner voice and sense of reason. He jerked out of his daydream-consisting mainly of Rosa.

"Um, yes, Im quite fine," he babbled. "I just couldn't stop staring at y- I mean, aren't those clouds lovely!" he hastily pointed to the sky-where there wasn't a cloud in sight.

Rosa looked up. "Horatio, there isn't a cloud in the sky. Are you sure you're alright?" Rosa scrutinized the man sitting before her. He seemed to be searching for a non existent cloud, but it didn't take away attention from his red face.

He laughed a high pitched nervous laugh. "Oh would you look that, I must have been dreaming. Not about you," he added on the end, and then mentally kicked himself. God, could he be any more obvious?

Rosa raised her eyebrows at this comment. Of course you don't daydream about me. I daydream about you. She didn't say this aloud though. Instead she put on her best authority voice and said, "I think you need to take a day off Stark. All this stress must be getting to you, or something." She hoped 'or something' was the reason.

"Yes I think you're right," he said, nodding. Then kicked himself again. Horatio Stark didn't agree to anything! Argh!

Rosa turned away after giving him one last worried look. First the staring, then the non existent cloud, after that the high pitched laughter, and he was agreeing with her? What on earth was wrong with him?

"What are we trying to do?" whispered Tom loudly.

In unison, the rest of the team turned their heads and whisper-yelled at him, "Shut UP Tom!"

Dan was at the front, leading the team. He was checking around corners and generally kicking anyone's ass that came his way, with the help of Zoe. Tom was cracking all the codes and generally being a genius. Aneisha, using her amazing disguise skills, was trying to weasel information out of passing KORPS agents about the whereabouts of the Prime Minister. So far, no luck whatsoever.

Just when Dan was thinking they should blow the place and get the Prime Minister, Luck herself smiled down on them.

"I heard," said one excitable agent, "that they're keeping him in a cell underground, with a tiger."

Aneisha had to resist the urge to roll her eyes. Instead she gasped, like the other agents, and said, "But I heard they were keeping him in a guest room!"

The other agents jaw's dropped. "Really? I thought it was the main computer room!"

"You know what I heard? That they only kidnapped him because the Mastermind wants her boyfriend to come find him."

"WHAT?! She has a boyfriend?"

"Yeah, but he's part of MI9. That's why she put the Prime Minister in the main computer room, because she knows that's where he'll look first. She wants to get him alone."

In their excitement, they didn't notice Aneisha slip away, or 4 other agents casually strolling to the door.

"She really loves him. I swear I heard her crying the other day."

This was the comment that stood out to Dan the most.

Well, now that you've read the chapter, can you review, please? :]
