DICLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN MI HIGH. I only own the plot and my OCs.

Chapter 5- Eyes deceive

I had just arrived at HQ, panting and sweating from running like a thousand miles an hour! I was met with the serious faces of Dan, Keri, Frank and Stella.

"I'm here!" I panted. I composed myself and walked over to the centre desk.

"Good. Now we can get Aniesha ba-"Keri stopped and looked at my forehead. Damn! The cut on my forehead! "What happened to your head?" She asked.

"Oh I um... walked into a door!" I exclaimed. Dan crossed his arms and Keri looked skeptical.

"Are you sure, Tom? It doesn't look like an injury you would get from walking into a door," Frank said.

"Oh! There was a picture on the door. I hit my head on the picture frame. It doesn't matter anyway. Let's just find Aniesha," I said quickly.

Frank went over the plan. Dan and Keri were fit enough to go on the mission despite what had happened a couple of days ago. I also had to go as Aniesha was obviously not with us. I was hoping he would let me go. We were supposed to go undercover as MI9 guards and find out what they were up to. There were just two things bugging me. Why would KORPS come to a conference and why would they take Aniesha with them? "Frank, what is the conference about?" I asked.

"The conference is to discuss what to do with a number of SKAPULA agents. There were thirty five caught at a facility on the Isle of White a week ago," Frank replied. He looked at his watch. "Right agents, we need to go," Frank added. The three of us nodded and we entered the lift.

About forty minutes later, we were at the site. There were loads of trucks and vans, presumably MI9 SWAT teams. We got out of the slick black car and a man stood before us. He was wearing standard MI9 uniform.

"Agent London. Chief Agent Knight," The man addressed them. Frank nodded.

"The enemy agents are not here yet but they'll get a nasty surprise when they do get here! We need your agents inside so they can make sure the conference attendees are safe in case there is any trouble," The man explained.

"Right agents, get inside that building," Stella ordered.

"What about Aniesha though? They might kill her or hurt her or something if we start firing? They just might," I pointed out. I was worried sick. Who knew what was going to happen?

"Tom has a point you know," Keri said.

"Look, we will do all we can to get Aniesha back with us. Now go agents!" Frank commanded. I sighed and the three of us ran into the building to start the task. I just hoped Frank was going to get her back...

"Dan, me and Keri are in position. Are you?" I told him. When I heard a yes, I started guarding. Keri looked like she was watching the scene before her like a hawk but I knew she was really in her own world. Suddenly, she walked towards a plant which was on a mahogany table. "Keri, you are supposed to be standing guard outside the door," I reminded her.

"Yeah I know. I just like these flowers. They're so pretty!" Keri exclaimed, not even turning to face me. I sighed once again. Keri turned round.

"You like Aniesha don't you?" Keri said with a smile. I didn't want to tell her my feelings on Aniesha! Not that I didn't like Keri, I just wanted to keep it to myself. "Trust me, I know. I can see it and you've been acting different since she's gone."

"Well wouldn't you if you realised someone you cared about had been kidnapped," I muttered. Keri shook her head and walked back to her post.

For the next five minutes we didn't speak at all. Nothing happened. I was starting to get bored and worried. KORPS might have known that we were waiting for them. It would be good that no one would get hurt but we would be missing out on a chance to get Aniesha. We might not get a chance to get her back again. Suddenly, I heard the sound of "MI9! Don't move!" The KORPS agents were here.

"Keri, alert the people at the conference then lock the door," I said. She nodded and went inside. Outside, I heard gunshots, shouts and cries. A battle had started and I knew that the aftermath wasn't going to be pretty. If we survived that is. Keri emerged seconds later. She locked the door.

"I've alerted them," She confirmed. She stood stiffly. "Is that gunshots?" Keri asked but she already knew. She had a look of horror on her pale face. "Frank, Stella and Dan! They're going to be killed! I need to help Dan," Keri decided and started to run off.

"Dan's not outside!" I called after her. I wanted to tell her that they were going to be okay but I knew that they might not be.

"If it was your family or friends down there, would you help them?" Keri said. She turned and ran. Keri seemed to do everything from the people she cared about. She was right after all. Perhaps the KORPS agents had already got into the building. If that was so, Dan, Keri and everyone else were in big trouble. I decided to call Dan via communicator.

"Dan! Have KORPS penetrated the building yet?" They had. Dan was fighting with a KORPS agent. I suddenly lost contact with him and I realised that they were in trouble. But I couldn't leave the people in the conference! Suddenly, I heard heavy, fast footsteps. Maybe it was Dan or Keri. Or it was an angry KORPS agent who was prepared to kill anyone in their way. I turned my head. I saw someone running in the distance and they were getting closer and closer. I could just about make out who they were. Dark skin and dark, flowing hair. Was it her? Was it the girl I had been out searching for? "Aniesha?" I called. The person ran past but stopped a short second after. She turned round. I had made a big mistake. It wasn't her. Her hair was much longer and darker and her eyes were lighter. She smiled. It wasn't a warm and friendly one, but it was evil and maniacal. She stepped forward.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you but I'm not her," The girl said simply. She had an accent on her. African perhaps? Her eyes suddenly darkened. "I'm sure you won't be seeing her again. Ever." As soon as I could react, she had her long slender fingers around my pale neck, squeezing it. I started to gag and panic. I couldn't breathe! I thrashed against her, trying anything to be released from clap like grip. I couldn't think straight. I was going dizzy.

"Goodbye," She whispered mockingly and she smiled wickedly.

"Get your hands of him, bitch," A masculine voice growled. She immediately let go and I fell to the ground. I heard a gasp and a yelp. Then someone went plummeting to the ground. I looked up to see a tall blonde looking down on me with concern. Dan. "Tom! Mate, are you okay?" He asked and knelt down. I coughed and spluttered a few times before I could answer.

"Not really. Where are the KORPS agents?" I asked, coughing again. Dan grinned.

"They're either on the floor or being arrested. We overpowered them but..." Dan trailed off.

"Aniesha wasn't there," I finished for him, quietly. He nodded grimly. I managed to stand up and I looked at the girl who was lying in a heap on the floor, unconscious. At least I thought she was. There were flowers, water and glass all over the floor. There was also blood. Is she dead?

"She must have been the girl the MI9 agent saw through that car window. What if this was to get to us?" I wondered out loud. It was certainly a possibility.

"Maybe." Dan knelt down beside her and checked her pulse. "She's still alive. Barely though." He stood up and faced me. "You go and get an MI9 medical team up here. You should get your throat checked out to," Dan advised. "I'll tell all the conference attendees that it's safe to come out," Dan finished. I could feel my throat bruising all ready. I obeyed and went to find the medical team.

I was going to stop at when the girl said goodbye but I didn't want to leave it as a cliff hanger. I'm sick of them! Anyway, I'll update as soon as I can. School is going me lots of homework and tasks to do so I don't know when I can update. Please review and thanks for reading!
