AN: As usual I don't own MI High or anything else you recognise, I just own Demi and Jamie.
"You OK? Demi? Demi?" A voice to the left of me said.
"What?" I asked, looking around. I was still slightly on edge, and may have been slightly concussed from the rock. Is this what concussion feels like? Like you're gonna drop any moment? Jamie was stood watching me, but she looked as if she was afraid. Was she scared of me? "Are you OK?" She repeated slowly. I shook my head. "Not really. Aren't you meant to be helping Melissa with the running order for the show?" I said, gesturing towards the hall.
"Yeah, but I saw you leave, and I was worried. Look, I need to tell you something. I haven't exactly been very honest with you." As she went to speak, Tom entered. "Demi, we need you. Come on." I nodded, and said,
"Sure, I'll be there in a minute. Can it wait for a while Jai?" She nodded, and I smiled. I then returned to the hall.
"Dan and Zoe have the Aardvark, we're going do the transfer now." Tom explained, as we walked quickly to the entrance of SNARL HQ. I turned my earpiece back on, in time for Zoe to say, "The glove has malfunctioned." Oh damn. Does that mean they're stuck in SNARL?
"Tom, I need you to reconfigure the panel so the door opens to my touch." Dan said. Tom sighed and said,
"I can give it a go." He then began using his camera/tracker to try and hack into the panel. A series of beeps sounded, and Tom shook his head. "Dan, it's no use, there isn't enough power. You're going to have to do it manually." If that was me, I'd be panicking by now.
"Olga's going to discover the fake Aardvark soon. You need to hurry." Aneisha said. Dan muttered something and then Zoe called,
"Hurry up Dan, they're coming!" Oh god, the guards had found out. The door then slid open and Dan and Zoe burst through.
"Thanks Tom, next time try not to cut it so fine." Dan said.
"It wasn't me. You must've done it." Tom shrugged.
"Guess I'm more techie than I thought." Dan said, smiling. Well, at least they're safe. The 5 of us then plugged the Aardvark into the system, and downloaded the information we needed. Once it had finished, we returned to the hall, where Melissa appeared to be mentally panicking. "There you are! I thought I'd have to put Byron and Jamie on!" She said, gesturing at Dan, Zoe, Tom and myself. Oh, yeah, I'd signed up hadn't I? I felt the blood disappear from my face, and my knees weakened. I hated stage fright. "Demi! Can we talk before you go on?" Jamie said, jogging over.
"Sure. Jai, you haven't murdered someone have you? Why are you so desperate to talk to me?" I joked.
"There's no time for jokes Dem. Look, I know what you are. And you are not safe alone." She whispered. What? "I know you work for MI9. The same goes for Tom, Dan, Zoe and Aneisha. I've known since before my house exploded. But you don't need to worry about me telling anyone. Cause I do as well." She said, handing me an MI9 ID card. "See? My team were brought here on the intelligence that a KORPS informant would soon be arriving at Bleakwood. We originally suspected you, but then we realised that you were on the KORPS target list we received with our intelligence. Carrie was our spymaster, before... she died. We haven't been able to track the KORPS agent, but we have a name. Our agent goes by the name of 'Alex Patterson'. But we have yet to confirm an age group or gender. After Carrie, I've been assigned to protect you. You don't believe me, do you?" She said, recognising the look on my face.
"It's a bit far-fetched Jai." I said, as Melissa called Dan and Zoe up onto the stage.
"Well, how about I tell you that I've seen your mother? My team was part of the operation to free her. I could take you to her if you wanted."
"Do you mean it?" I asked, cautiously. She nodded, and said,
"I promise."
AN: And I'm going to leave it there! Now, bet you weren't expecting that, huh? Well, if you were, then you're very clever, or can see the future. I hope you enjoyed, and next chapter, I'll bring this episode to a close, and then begin another one of my own storylines!
