Hi guys, i was really, upset i only got a few reviews in the last chapter so please review, it makes me inspired! I know the last chapter was a bit of a filler but these are all building up to their big mission in London so there will be a huge action chappie soon! This one has a bit more interest and action though! I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 6
Zach's POV
I kept my eyes focused on the floor, out of respect. Well, fake respect. We walked slowly towards a desk, it wasn't what you see in the movies, some swanky, suave, slick black and white massive room, with a hot blonde receptionist in a black pencil skirt asking you who you were here to see.
No, it was an olive skinned man who said in English with an accent originating from somewhere in the Mediterranean, "Goode, Cross, Anderson and Newman?" We nodded in unison. "Follow me." He finished with no hint of emotion on his face, definitely an assassin, he showed no emotions and felt nothing.
We walked around some small cramped alleys that counted as corridors into a room which looked like it doubled as an interrogation/torture room. We were met by a grim faced Caucasian woman. She had almost slivery white blonde hair and icy blue eyes, she was around 50, still had a very strong muscular build and she wore an old Russian army combats and thin dark green cotton top. She had a scar on her neck that came only from being held at knife point and on her for-arm there was a long faded deep scar.
"Right, a quick debrief of your mission," She started abruptly, no formalities, if she did bother to introduce herself it would only be an alias anyway. She spoke surprisingly with a completely Americanised accent, no give away, I only assumed she was Russian from the combats and the rest of her features afterwards give it away. "So, you killed the target, got out safely, you weren't followed or compromised. Sounds like a mission done well." She said curtly. We all nodded and a small smirk played on my lips.
"But," she cut in sharply. "Your assessor was compromised. He did not return, that means that there was some other team their, everything he knows or knew is compromised. I'll pass you and let you go on the mission, but don't let this happen again. You're failure to notice the other operative's has been noted." She finished grimly, then passed us a file as the smirk left my lips and I looked down. "Your, first mission is in London, you will all be joining cell JATO, that's Juliet, Alpha, Tango, Oscar. You will join together and work as a new sub-team within the cell, you will meet the other four members there. You will need to bring some things in order to complete your first mission. Good luck." She finished abruptly and then turned away obviously expecting that when she turned around again, we would be gone.
We walked out of the room and back through the base. We each put our files in our bags and went to go out back into Ralph Lauren, but the Mediterranean guy at the front desk stopped us and pointed us to another door, I saw grant fist pump realising we could keep the clothes and then quickly making his face emotionless and heading to the door with the rest of us. Nick pushed open the door and we went up in another lift to find ourselves in a small room, we pushed another door and we were on a street a block over from the mall. I finally allowed myself to relax as we quickly walked back to our apartment desperate to read the files.
"Right, are all the files the same do you think?" Nick asked as we entered our room.
"They will probably contain bits that are the same and bits that are different, specifically for each of us." Jonas replied, Nick nodded.
I opened my file and sat down on an armchair:
Mission Briefing for Operative: Zachary Goode 0830
Location: London Base
Team: Jato, subsection, Beta
Beta Team members: Zachary Goode, Jonas Anderson, Grant Newman, Nick Cross
Jato Team members: Zachary Goode, Jonas Anderson, Grant Newman, Nick Cross, Chris Ryan, Chloe Fielding, Thomas Lord, George Host.
Mission: Get Christian Metcalfe
Christian Metcalfe: MI6 mission controller has information on 73 previous cases and 3 current cases.
Mission (continued.): Interrogate Christian Metcalfe on whereabouts and purpose of operatives: Lara Gold, James Blair and Aaron Millar.
I quickly skimmed the first page of information, there were 2 more pages of information on Christian Metcalfe, and then a page on whereabouts of the London base, finally, the list of the things we would need:
European Passports under fake names
British Pounds
Weapons and Tech. of our choice
Tickets to the 43rd Mason Ball, the place to get Metcalfe
Covers for said Ball
Easy enough, I thought. We had one day to get everything because we flew out at 11:00am tomorrow. Right, time to get busy!
Jonas went about creating the passports, and he also got ID's and drivers licensees etc. Grant went to go rob a bank, literally, he used the Harold Bishop technique! Nick went about obtaining tickets and creating covers for the ball, so that left me with the tech and the weapons.
"Jonas, what tech will you need?" I asked, bad question. He then went on to say a load of mumbo jumbo tech speak that I expect only Liz would understand.
"How about I get you 3 laptops, several comms units, and you upload all the programs you need over night?" I didn't respond so I took that as a fine.
I quickly went in to one of the sub-divisions of the COC to get the necessary tech and equipment for the mission because the local Curry's (A/N British computer shop!) didn't sell exactly what we needed. I also grabbed, 4 easily concealable hand guns, lots of ammo, 6 sniper guns, 3 machine guns, 4 stun guns and 4 9mm's. Should do us! By the time I got back having successfully hidden all the tech in a large suitcase which had huge techy pads around the edge so that when we checked them in to the plane no one would no what it really had in, Nick had finished the covers and Grant had come back and he then started also putting the money in the padded suitcase. I looked at the covers: (A/N I'll make these quick because I find them boring to read!)
Zachary Goode:
Name: Zander Michaels
Age: 20
Relationship status: long distance relationship (harsh reality…)
Job: MI6 new agent, just returned from his first mission
Grant Newman:
Name: Greg Davidson
Age: 21
Relationship status: Girlfriend named Bleu Howard (AGENT REBECCA BAXTER) (A/N I know it's a weird name but I was looking on baby name websites and it looked cool!)
Job: MI6 Training instructor
Jonas Anderson:
Name: Jack Blake
Age: 19
Relationship: Single, but not available
Job: MI6 research and Tech dept.
Nicholas Cross:
Name: Nathan Tomlin
Age: 20
Relationship: has a cover girlfriend on his current mission: Grace Clove
Job: currently on Mission, new agent
Nick had made all of our first names start with the same letter as our real names so if we forget our covers or we are given a poison to make us forget you just say Z or N, as if it's a nickname.
Now, we just had to pack what our covers would wear ready for meeting the rest of JATO team tomorrow.
REVIEW!
