New Directions

Chapter 5 – A bloody big mess inside without you.

A/N: Skye disappears. What is Chad hiding?

Sitting in ICT while Mr Flatley droned on about something he clearly did not understand, it was quite normal procedure for the class to be diddling with Facebook and Youtube, while some watched on as their Headmaster failed to turn on a computer. Numerous times. Daisy and Blane were having a competitive poking war, even going as far as writing semi-mean comments on each other's wall. They were just getting used to having a relationship and when people saw them holding hands around school they thought finally. It was common knowledge that they used to constantly bicker to cover up the fact that they were in love with each other and the people around them would roll their eyes Chad was watching funny YouTube clips while Oscar wondered where Skye was. She had seemed to disappear after their mission yesterday, and all she had said before she left was she was meeting Lewis. Despite not fully trusting her, he was indeed jealous and was worried though he did a good job of hiding it. He noticed a red flashing thing in the corner of his eye and so did the others, raising their hands simultaneously and making separate excuses to leave the lesson.

'You remember the other MI 9 High team?' said Lenny as the four teenagers stepped off from the space-age lift, gesturing towards Lewis, Violet and the Worm sitting at the computers.

'But, they're criminals!' blurted out Chad as soon as he set eyes on them.

'MT3000s?' said Blane. Chad shut up quickly, but was suspicious of Violet. He had seen her at the Flopsy University of Crime, sometime ago. He didn't trust her.

'Three underground bases that contain a part of a nuclear super-weapon have been recently been infiltrated. There is only one piece left and if all them are put together, in the wrong hands we fear that they would begin declaring war.' said Lenny seriously, scanning the room for Skye. 'Has anyone seen Skye?'

'Skye?' asked Lewis shocked.

'Yes Lewis, Skye. Do you know her?'

'Sure, she's my girlfriend.' he replied earning a smile from Daisy and a disguised glare from Chad and Oscar. 'But she never told me she was working here. And, she never turned up yesterday..' he said as his voice trailed off.

'Skye never turned up?' asked Chad in all seriousness. He then directed his next question at Lenny. 'Did the Grandmaster get her?'

'What has the Grandmaster got to do with anything?' asked Lewis out of the loop.

'Yes, but it's not possible he could have taken her with him to one of the other SKUL bases. The base was empty apart from the MI 9 agents when she left us.' said Lenny, purposely ignoring Lewis' question.

'Oi!' shouted Violet. 'Lewis here asked why the Grandmaster has got anything to do with Skye!'

'That's classified.' said Chad firmly.

'If it's so classified how do you know?' asked Violet, going up to him and poking him in the chest.

'Also classified.'

'How are we meant to work with each other if people are keeping other people's secrets?' said the Worm quietly, but was still heard.

'Because, it's so secret even I didn't know until we overheard them talking. I'm third in command!' said Lenny, trying to put an end to the fuss about Skye's secrets. 'Now the mis-'

'She would have told me though.' said Lewis quietly, not meaning to interrupt Lenny. He sat there wondering why she didn't tell him anything about her spy life. It's not like he wouldn't have told her anything about his personal life but he rarely saw her after they had been dating officially for a year.

'I'm sure she would have if she was allowed to.' said Daisy in an attempt to cheer him up.

'What about the Triplice Alleanza?' suggested Chad. 'They hate MI 9 and SKUL, and only do things that benefit them. It's probably one of the only things MI 9 and SKUL have in common.'

'What's that?' asked Lewis confused.

Chad sighed at his blatant stupidity. 'A group that mostly steal important weapons, and information. Sounds like what we're missing.'

'Skye's got information?' asked Lenny.

'Even she doesn't know this, but her parents stole the MI 9 archive and the SKUL archive. To avoid it being found it's been micro chipped into Skye, but if you were to remove it would result in her and the files blowing up.' he said with a sad tone. 'It's foolproof.'

'So you think that the Alleanza would try and get it out?' asked Daisy.

'No. She can get into countless secret services and their corresponding archives around the globe. And she knows quite a lot of important information that they could use to their advantage. We need to break her out of there.' he said after explaining. Lenny gave him a 'that's impossible look' until he added. 'She's got the final piece of the super weapon!' fueling the need to rescue her.

'This is so confusing.' said Daisy, who was actually quite bored swinging about on her swivel chair. 'Skye's related to the best spies of all time. Good and bad. She'll survive.'

Oscar spoke up. 'If the Alleanza find out about her having a piece of the super-weapon, they'll torture and interrogate her until she gives in.'

'It's micro chipped in. Same rule applies.' said Chad.

"Excuse me, but Skye's related to the best spies of all time?', what are you not telling us?" demanded Lewis.

'Read for yourself.' said Lenny typing in a code and allowed the interested agents read. Chad stared at him in disbelief. The less people knew the better. Luckily the file didn't list every endeavour, or they would be done for.

'I just can't believe she didn't tell me.' said Lewis, tears forming in his eyes after reading her file. 'It's a good thing she's not a messed up super villain, with all of that history.'

Chad's jaw clenched. If only MI 9 knew about their toddler times. They were special undercover spies.

Agent Double X.

Exactly like the likes of Agent X but more skilful and better at espionage. They completed many successful missions in their time.

Stealing the Crown Jewels..

Stealing the parts of the progressing super-weapon..

Activated missiles on the Moon..

He smiled at the memories.
