A/N- Thank You everyone times 1000 for reviewing I honestly thoguht I would be sitting on 5 reviews for two weeks but I opened my account this morening and found I had 22! I'm so happy that people are reading this.
I was actually in Venice writting the previous chapter but it was raining and wet, but it still looked beautiful.
Stella had given me a knife, small, easily concealable. I cut off my cable ties and realised that on the knife there was a note. The note read; under your pillow. It was only then that I took notice of my surroundings. I was in a small cell about 8x8 there was a bed in the corner and a toilet and washbasin on the other side. Before I looked underneath my pillow I checked to see if anyone was around, there wasn't so I looked under my pillow and found my communicator and SpyPod. I opened my SpyPod and saw a video message from...Stella? I pressed play.
Video Message
"Tom, I'm sorry about the double crossing act and the kidnapping and everything else. I need you play along with it for now. You need to be completely convinced that the Crime Minister has done something to me. Send this to Frank and the others and if I get a chance I will send you another one of these explaining more," Stella explained.
I was stunned, confused and now that I thought about it tired so I sent the message to Frank, put my communicator and SpyPod underneath my mattress and put my head on my pillow and slowly fell asleep with the events of the previous hours playing over and over inside my head like one, giant, confusing kaleidoscope.
At HQ no ones P.O.V
They were all sitting at a computer trying to hack into the CCTV to find were Stella took Tom. They were trying all sorts of different things and after a good 45 minutes they had almost hacked into it when they received a video message from Tom. When Aneisha saw the sender address her spirits rose.
"How can he have his SpyPod?" Aneisha asked.
"It's more than likely Stella just using his SpyPod." Dan said.
After they had played the message Zoe said "Can't we just trace where the message was sent from?"
Yes," Frank said, "Yes we can if we can track where the message was sent from we can find Tom."
Frank started typing frantically on the keyboard and after a tiring 10 minutes he stepped back from the keyboard to reveal a red dot on the middle of a map he moved the picture of the map onto the larger screen in the middle of
their base.
"That is the location of the base if I enlarge the image you can see where the cell block is and I bet anything that is where they are keeping Tom." Frank said
"Oh dear," Aneisha said.
"What?" Zoe asked.
"That's in Venice how are we going to get Venice?" Aneisha asked.
"I'm going to ponder that over night but all of you need to go home and get some rest." Frank said.
They all agreed and went to their homes knowing that the days that followed would be confusing and deadly.
Tom's P.O.V
I was awaken in the early hours of the morning when I was thrown onto the hard, concrete floor of my cell.
"Ouch," I thought, "that was going to leave a bruise.
I was then pulled up by the scruff of my shirt and thrust out of my cell. I was pushed and shoved down several corridors until the guard pushed me into a chair and cable tied my hands to the chair and left the room. Almost as soon as he left the Crime Minister and Stella came in and started strangely pacing backwards and forwards, staring me down like a lioness and her prey.
Now I know normally when you are the person cable tied to the chair the people who got you there are the first to ask questions, but today I was changing that so I started asking questions.
"Why did you take me instead of Aneisha, she was right there and you took me instead, why?" I asked.
They took awhile for an answer but when it came the Crime Minister was the one to respond.
"The details aren't important but isn't it quite simple, if we take the one that she holds ever so dear, soon, after awhile she will be so, hmmmm how do I put this... motivated to get you back that she will do anything, including give herself up," She said.
"Aneisha will never give herself up, she is stronger than she seems, and what are you? What have you done that is so great? Well I'll will give you an answer to both of those questions, you're a manipulative, power-crazed dictator of your own evil global organisation, but oh yeah that's right you don't even own it you just do the dirty work for some...thing in a fish tank," I said back ignoring the tone of attitude in my voice.
"Everyone has a breaking point, and when emotions get involved that point of breaking gets to people faster. She will break... Sooner than anyone expects and when she does come we need the technical agent to perform the transference. She said.
Take him away," She ordered.
"Yes Crime Minister," Stella replied.
Stella lead me down the corridors and whispered to me.
"I sent you another video which explains more,"
I nodded my head and walked into my cell when I was just about to get my SpyPod out and a KORPS guard came in and left a tray of food on the cell floor, it looked like slop on one side and slop on the other side. "Great, today's meal, slop with a side of slop," I was very hungry which is the only reason why I tried some of the slop, it wasn't as bad as it looked but it defiantly wasn't cooked by gourmet chefs. Once I had finished the slop and checked that no one was around I pulled out my SpyPod and checked my sent items and sure enough as Stella said there was a message from her there, I pressed play and watched and listened intently.
Video Message
"Tom, your are probably not going to like this but you need to do the mind transference for the Crime Minister into... Aneisha's mind. Aneisha doesn't have the right DNA for the transference to work which means that the Mastermind will die and I know that sounds good but there's a catch it will seriously injure Aneisha it could even kill her, but it's our only option to end KORPS. I'm sorry but the greater good always out ways the individual concern," She said.
(The message ends)
A/N- So... the plot sort of starting to make sense now?
