Author's Note: No one seems to being reviewing.. please do.
9.30am..
The team assembled in the street near to Monsignor's with a back up team just in case. Lenny had called Oscar, Daisy and Blane for a debrief and in the corner of his eye, he saw Chief Officer Stark, recently promoted Head of MI 9 hug Skye. She was hiding something BIG and he intended to find out. He watched as Stark signalled the go ahead for Chad and Skye to enter and himself, Daisy and Blane were lined up ready to enter as soon as Chad or Skye got into contact.
Chad watched as the blonde swiped her SKUL logoed necklace and scanned her eyes, eliciting a hiss from the door. They were in.
'Lenny we're in. Just going to disable camera's.' Chad said rushing in after Skye.
He watched as she scanned her fingerprint, thus shutting down the whole security system inside Grandmaster's lair. She picked up her communicator. 'Security down.'
At the instruction, Oscar, Daisy and Blane rushed inside stopping to take in the surroundings and found Skye and Chad.
'Let's split up. Me and Chad will check out the "Throne Room" while you three can search through the other rooms.' she said. 'Oh and watch out for SKUL agents, they always seem to be lurking about in places.' she quickly added, sprinting down the stairs to his throne room.
'Wait!' Oscar shouted to Daisy and Blane who were running to check out a locked room. 'Don't you find it just a bit suspicious that Skye and Chad can enter SKUL HQ without being detected?
He watched as Daisy's brow creased in frustration. 'You're right. Chad is probably still working for SKUL and Skye is too. I say we follow them.'
The boys nodded in agreement and stalked down the stairs, looking at what was happening.
'Skye...' drawled the Grandmaster. 'It's good to see you. And I see you've brought Agent Turner with you as well, a boyfriend perhaps?'
The three agents saw as Chad and Skye were bound with thick rope and were locked into a special cell, that looked like light was shining down on them, but the light was the barrier between them and the outside world.
'Definitely not.' she said defiantly, almost disgusted at the fact.
'You were right about the hoax then.' Chad nodded.
'The family will be glad to see you after all these years, after twelve years of no contact. It was a good thing I didn't wipe your details off the system.'
'Sure thing.' she said sarcastically, brain working overtime to think of the means of escape.
Oscar shook his head at this revelation. Chad and Skye were SKUL agents! He looked up at Daisy and she quickly called Lenny.
'This has got to be some joke, Skye and Chad are SKUL!' she hissed, eyes darting towards the scene that was unfolding in front of their very eyes.
'Roger that, I'm coming in!' he said.
Lenny ran down the stairs intent on recording the evidence, since Agent Stark wouldn't hear a bad word towards Agent Cassidy.
'You would have made a good SKUL agent Skye. It runs in your veins.' he said. 'After all you are my favourite Granddaughter, not that Lea girl.'
'Grandpa, you've forgotten about the other type of blood that runs in my veins,' she said breaking through the tight bonds of rope tied around her wrists and deactivating the cells. Mummy was a Stark. And everyone knows that the Stark's are the founders of the Secret Service.'
'Shame your Mother is dead now. Terrible thing to do, fraternizing with the enemy.' he cackled. 'Now did your Mother tell you where she put the SKUL hard-drive before she was incinerated?'
'Even if I did know I would never tell you.' she spoke harshly.
'Shame. But since you're both here, I take it you want to join the Super Kriminal Underground League?'
'We'll only join SKUL when hell freezes over.'
As Lenny and his team watched on, they failed to notice the ninjas that were rapidly gaining on them. They reached out and pulled four black bags over their heads dragging them to the dungeon.
'What about your little MI 9 friends?' he said, revealing a screen which showed the other spies being loaded into the dungeons. 'It would be a shame to switch off the oxygen in there.'
They looked at each other in horror, as they saw Blane banging on the glass telling them not to join and they would get out.
'Amusing. They will never escape.' he said.
'Really?' Chad said, ropes loosening.
Skye watched as he walked up the Grandmaster's chair and tried to stop him from pressing the button. She had enough of this. While Chad was causing a diversion, she ran out of the room and found the dungeon where they were being held.
'Why didn't you find the files?' she said after scanning her eyes and opening the door.
'You didn't find the files?' said Lenny. 'Hold on,' he said answering his communicator.
'Bignall this is Stark. All the files have been found except for Skye Stark-Restam's!'
'So, you're Skye Stark-Restam.' Lenny said slowly.
'So what if I am? Just because I seem to be related to two powerful families doesn't mean I'm a super villian!'
'How do we know you're not a double agent?' asked Oscar.
'Really. How would you like it if your parents were secretly together, only to be found out by both MI 9 and SKUL, who were on the warpath?' she said voice laced with ice.
'I know how you fe-' started Daisy.
'Shut up! Imagine you were four years old and you were forced to watch your parents die. I've been lucky for twelve years, thanks to MI 9 but I don't want to run forever. I've had enough.' she said effectively ending the conversation. 'We better go get Chad.'
'Back up have got him, but the Grandmaster's got away.' said Lenny. 'Do you know where the SKUL hard-drive is?'
Skye slightly stiffened, but no one seemed to notice. 'I better go meet Lewis.' running up the stairs.
'Lenny, you didn't know about her?' asked Blane confused at the fact that Lenny wasn't told all the facts.
'Only the Head of MI 9 and Chief Officer Stark know. It's that classified.'
