(Tom's POV)

"Ready?" Stella asked over comms as I looked at her. She was getting in my way slightly...

"Yes," a voice, unmistakably Dan's replied. I nodded bringing up Zoe's glasses camera onto my screen. The two were nearing the base as planned I just hope that nobody recognised them from MI9. They're infiltrating SKUL as it seemed like the safest and easiest way to get into the organisation and to the rest of the team. It doesn't seem it now though that's for sure, they're Roses and the teams last chance before a fully assault on SKUL.

And nobody wants that... That could blow all our covers...

(Dan's POV)

I walked up to SKUL confidently my hand brushing up to Zoe's lightly. We have the SKUL uniform on and Zoe's glasses have a camera in them but we both know that if we get caught then communications will be cut and we'll be on our own. We just have to get in there, make 'friends', find the team and escape. Without our covers being blown obviously... That's the hardest part. I wish I had Aneisha's disguises now...

We spotted two guards at the far side and waited until the camera had rotated out of view before pouncing on them. Zoe gives one a high kick to the head as I head butt another. It really hurts! I suppose that SKUL agents have thicker skulls then we think...

Pushing them out of view we inject them with a serum, Tom's invention to wipe someone's memory of the last half an hour, and swipe their ID cards off of them. Luckily one is a girl and Zoe takes hers as I grab the other. I look at the name on it. Agent Mark Heel.

"Hi Mark," Zoe smiles, noting the name on my ID card.

"Well hi... Sarah," I smile back, looking over her shoulder to her card. Suddenly we realise that we are just standing outside a SKUL base and we both start walking towards the entrance, swiping ourselves in with bated breath. The gate flashes green as we walk in and I tap my ear activating my ear piece. "Tom we're in," I say silently.

"Didn't doubt you for a moment Danny Boy!" comes the quick reply.

(Stella's POV)

As soon as I know that Dan and Zoe are safe I breathe out slightly. I know I can rely on those two to pull through but this was getting dangerous. Sending in the last of my agents now seems like a stupid idea but frankly it's the only option we have. I don't want to have to send a full assault to get the team out. We could lose even more agents that way and it compromises the identities of the Mi High division. Tom is working hard as have Dan and Zoe since six this morning though. It's now nearing eleven am and we're on track. I have a deadline.

They have to get the team out by tonight or I'll have to take action. I'll have to...

(Zoe's POV)

Looking around the SKUL building is reminding me slightly of KORPS. It has the same brick walls and cold interior as well as pumped up security. It doesn't seem like the nicest place that's for sure... I shudder slightly as Dan looks at me obviously concerned. I have to blank him though. If SKUL know that we know each other too deeply then they could get suspicious and I can't risk that right now. Not for Rose.

"Zoe you ok?" Tom asks over my headset. He probably noticed me shivering seeing as I have his camera attached to my glasses. I nod my head slightly, knowing he'll get the message as Dan and I wonder down the corridors trying to find something, anything that will give us a clue.

"Zo over here," Dan whispers, pointing to some boxes as we stride over, looking confidant and in charge. We have to, to avoid detection... "Carry these," he continues. "Then we might get somewhere and we look like we're doing something,"

"Good idea, they may lead us straight to Rose and the others," I agree.

"If not then near," Dan smiles.

"Can you two stop snogging in a corner?!" Tom asks as Dan sighs tapping his ear.

"We were not snogging Tom we were making a plan!" he hisses evidently annoyed. I wonder why..?

"We'll I don't know, it looked incredibly shifty from where I was..." Tom laughed as Dan drew air through his teeth. I smiled and picked up some of the boxes, Dan following suit as we walked back along the corridor. A SKUL agent started walking the other way as I thought of an idea.

"Excuse me? Yeah you," I began, stopping the agent. "Take these and tell me where I can find the MI9 prisoners. New orders from the Grandmaster," I explain.

"I haven't heard of any new orders..." he begins as Dan steps in.

"How long you been here sonny?" he asks menacingly.

"Three weeks..?" the Agent quivers back.

"Three years mate, so tell you what do use all a favour and follow orders why don't you?!" Dan hisses next to his face. I can tell the Agent is getting more and more terrified by the second so I gingerly pull Dan away.

"Floor nineteen, where do these need taking..?" the Agent asks as I point to the pile we originally got them from.

"Over there, thank you," I say, dumping the box onto him and moving on, Dan doing the same as we strode away.

"Nice one guys! And remind me not to get on your bad side soon Dan," Tom laughs as we smile at each other.

"Don't worry Tom you do that every day anyway," Dan grimaces.

"Oh yeah I do!" Tom snorts as I smirk and we make our way around to the stairs.

(Aneisha's POV)

I'm so hungry. We haven't been given any food and it's nearly been a day. It's like we've been left here to die and that is a thought not even worth thinking about... I managed to make a makeshift sling for Rose's arm, with the help of Oscar. He really cares about her it's evident and sort of sweet. He's also been trying to make a communicator out of anything we have. We're tired though, exhausted from lack of food and the more times it doesn't work the more agitated Oscars getting which is annoying Carrie and making me less certain that we're going to get out of here alive...

Rose keeps on drifting in and out of unconsciousness as well, we think she might have hit her head or something... Either way she needs medical helps and soon.

"There must be away out of here!" Carrie cried for what must have been the fifth time that minuet.

"And how would we get out? With Rose like this..." Oscar trailed off as Carrie stopped.

"Oscar?" she asked as I turned as well. Rose's head was in Oscars arms, breathing softly, asleep. In Oscars hands though... "You've done it?!" Carried cried as Oscar shushed her.

"I think so..!" he smiled holding up his handmade communicator.

"Try it! Try it!" I smiled. If this worked then... Then we could be out of here? It felt too good to be true. "Won't SKUL be able to trace the signal?" I asked.

"Yes but we've got no choice..." Oscar reasoned.

"Do it," Carrie finally said. "Let's get out of here..."

(Dan's POV)

Me and Zoe were making quick progress as we entered the section of SKUL where Rose and the rest of them seemed to be being held.

"Tom, where are we?" I asked, almost predicting the answer.

"In a SKUL base," Tom replied mockingly as I rolled my eyes.

"You know what we mean," Zoe said putting him in his place.

"About two corridors away from the cells, just go down the corridor and down the-" Oscar started to say as suddenly I felt the wind getting knocked out me as my ear piece fell to the floor, Zoe dropping unconscious beside me. I tried to get to her but I couldn't move.

Someone had me. And they had a knife to my throat...

(Oscar's POV)

"Dan?!" I cried through the earpiece as suddenly I heard Stella in the background, talking to someone then passing the communicator to me.

"It's Oscar," she said, walking quickly over to the screens.

"What..?" I asked before grabbing the communicator. "Oscar?! Are you ok?"

"Tom listen to me, I don't have much time, SKUL will trace the signal. We need to get out of here," Oscars said from the other end. I sighed in annoyance, so happy to hear his voice once more but worried. Things were getting difficult without a time limit...

"Yeah we have a problem though," I replied. "We've lost Dan and Zoe..."
