Chapter 4 - TRAPPED AND TESTED

TJ, Stacy, Daniel and Henry all hid behind a barrel in an old warehouse, waiting for Dr. Greg and Gormor. The men arrived and they Dr. Greg and Gormor were talking, then the team came out from where they are. Henry who was holding a powerful blaster that could make them weak and vulnerable shot it and they fell to the floor. They came closer to see if it really worked but were surprised when they saw they were just robots, by the time they could turn around a cage covered them and trapped them. They tried to break out, but couldn't for the cage was too strong. The cage bars were made out of titanium and cannot break down, the spies tried but couldn't breakout.

''Agent copper thinks he can send spies to stop me, o no he can't, I knew about how you hacked into our systems and also try to collect some information, but you failed. The voicemail you guys heard was all planned so that we could lure you guys out''

''Do you think you can easily take us down, all of you are all stupid'' Gormor said this with an evil smile on his face. ''O well we have to take our leave before we go kaboom with you guys.

The two men left and the team tried to get out because they setup a bomb and it will blow up any minute from now. They tried to break out but they couldn't because the cage was so strong to break out of, then Henry remembered that a titanium can be broken down or melted with a chemical called hydrochloride acid. He brought out a chemical tube from his bag that contains hydrogen fluoride, but becomes a liquid when it dissolves in water and turns into hydrochloride acid. He then took a little water and poured inside the tube, and after that he poured it on the titanium bar making it to melt and they broke free just in time. They wanted to run when Stacy said

''We have to deactivate the bomb, or else it will blow and affect a community center where a lot of old people are''.

They looked at each other and looked for where the bomb was kept, Stacy found it behind a barrel full of gasoline. They carefully opened the bomb to deactivate it, but was shocked to see a lot of wires and don't know which wire is the right one, to stop the bomb from exploding. They were afraid to cut the wrong wire because it could blow up and all of them will die. As TJ was about to cut the red wire Stacy quickly stopped him

 ''No, don't cut the red wire, it's the green wire you supposed to cut trust me.''

Stacy held TJ hands as he wanted to cut the wire, TJ believed her and cut the green wire and immediately the bomb was deactivated. The whole team were happy and also breathed a sigh of relief, TJ hugged Stacy and said thank you for saving those old people. Henry was angry at how TJ and Stacy were so closed, and Henry said

''let's head by to the base before anybody will see us''

The team got back to the base agent copper were waiting for them and congratulated them on the deactivating the bomb, that they saved a lot of lives.

 ''Sir you don't have to thank us, it was Stacy who told us the exact wire to remove'' TJ said praising Stacy for what she did. Then agent copper dismissed all of them and told them if they is anything wrong they will alert them. Then Stacy came up to Henry and asked

''I am driving do you and Daniel want a ride home''

''we don't'' henry said glaring at her

''I want a ride home, me too'' TJ and Daniel said

Henry left them and said he will take a cab home, unfortunately it started to rain heavily and no car were passing at that time. He walked till he got to a point and saw shelter, he quickly ran and stayed under the covered roof. He waited for the rain to stop a bit before continuing, when he saw a car coming by and he ran to meet the car for help. Henry came out of the shelter and waved his hands continuously so that the driver could see him, to his luck the car stopped and the driver pulled down the window, Henry was surprised to see that the driver was Kiara his classmate at school

''What are you doing at a time like this'' Kiara asked

''My grandma called that she wasn't feeling well, so I went to her place, on my way getting back the rain poured heavily''

''Enter the car I will drop you off''

Henry got into the car and they drove off, two of them didn't say anything until Henry broke the silence with a question.

''What were you doing by this time of the night''

 ''my friends and I went to a party and I was just coming back'' Kiara answered

Then few minutes passed and they finally got to Henry's place, Henry came out of the car and said goodbye and thank you to Kiara and went inside as she drove away. Henry came inside the house and saw that TJ and Daniel had gone to bed, he went straight to the showers before collapsing on the bed to sleep, then he got a message on his phone that says

''BE WARNED !!!''

Henry was surprised and also afraid and he wondered

 ''who could this be''

Henry shocked the feeling and went to bed. The next day Henry got up early to prepare for school and he left without Daniel and TJ. Henry got to class and dropped his bag and was about to sit when Kiara walked up to him and asked

''Good morning, did you have a good sleep''?

''I did thanks for asking, and still want to thank you for that lift yesterday, without you coming I would have been lost and only God know what would have happened to me at that time''. Kiara and Henry were still talking when TJ and Stacy walked in, Stacy saw Henry and Kiara chatting and smiling so happily and Kiara were making contact with Henry. This angered Stacy and she walked over to them and interrupted them

''can I borrow you for a second Henry''

''But I am in a middle of a conservation here'' Henry said this, but Stacy looked at him angrily and he gave in and left Kiara.

'' what's the matter''?

''What's wrong I tried calling you last night but you didn't pick up, what did I do''.

''Well, it's nothing okay, and also I came back late and just went to bed, so there is nothing for you to be worried about''. Henry said this and went to seat down leaving Stacy looking shocked and confused. The teacher came in and immediately they started class.

 who can tell me who sailed round the earth to prove that the earth wasn't flat'' The teacher asked waiting for an answer, then Kiara raised her hands up and answered

''The answer is Ferdinand Magellan who led them but died on the route. The full journey was led by Juan Sebastian from 1519-1522, that is it took him three years to go around the earth''.

 ''your correct, it took him three years to do that''.

Kiara looked back at Henry and smiled in excitement and Henry smiled back at her as they locked eyes together, Stacy saw this and was angry and pinched Henry on his hand snapping him back to reality. The class ended and all the students went to their other class. Kiara was packing her books when Henry came over to her and asked

''are you going to be free on Saturday''

''yeah of course''

 ''I was hoping if we could spend some time together and get to know each other better''

''you mean as a date''

''oh no, I mean just two friends hanging out''

''Okay then I will pick you up by seven 'o clock''

''I know it's look some how you're the one picking up, but it's okay''. After saying this Kiara took her bag and left, Stacy walked over to Henry and asked

''Did you just walk up to her and asked her on a date''?

''Yeah, I did, and she said yes is anything wrong''.

''nothing am just surprised that she accepted someone like you'' Stacy said this smiling

''you think she can't accept someone like me, is that what you're trying to say because and shocked''.

''No, it's just that, immediately she wanted to say something Henry shushed her and left. The school bell rang and just then they got an alert from agent copper telling them to come to headquarters. They got there and found agent copper on some many photos about Dr. Greg

''What's are all this pictures all about'' Daniel asked

''they are photos of Dr. Greg in five different countries at the same time, I don't know if they are five Dr. Greg out their'' Agent copper said worriedly

''I Have called you guys here to be on alert tomorrow for they are some devices that will be sold and take place in an abandon warehouse and I want you guys to be on alert that day, so that you could catch them and lock them behind bars. The whole team agreed and all left, Henry was worried for it was the same day he would take Kiara out he needed to think fast.
