Sorry guys! I said one week but posting a chapter two weeks after is better than a month right? (Cause I usually update very late for some reason...)

I've decided now that I'm going to focus on one story at a time so I'll keep updating chapters on this one until this story is finished then I will move on to another story and do that. It's better than updating chapters for random stories all over the place! :)


{The Morning After}

"Tom I have to go to work today, will you be alright walking to school yourself?" His mum asked him. Tom mumbled yes halfway through a piece of toast.

As soon as Tom finished his toast, he picked up his bag and walked out of the house, locking the door behind as his mum had already left.

He pulled out a pair of headphones and connected them to his MP3 player, sticking them in his ears. Sweet music filled his ears, blocking out the rest of the world. He was fairly early so there was no need to rush to school and he was going to stop by MI9 HQ to pick up a new gadget to test.

Tom was looking at his MP3 player as he stepped off the pavement just outside his house, onto the empty road or so he thought.

He didn't register anything until something collided into his right leg, his world went blurry and fast as he flew up the side of a car and off the back of it smashing into the road behind.

He registered that he was lying on the road and that his leg was throbbing painfully before he fell unconscious.

The man who drove into Tom stumbled out of the car and quickly made his way beside him. He pulled out his phone and blindly dialled 999, his fingers smashing into the phone keys.

There was an ID lying on the ground beside him that had fallen out of Tom's pocket and the man picked it up, reading the details on it. Quickly realising that Tom was an MI9 agent the man quickly ended the call to the local hospital and begun dialling the MI9 hospital instead.

"I need an ambulance to Crescent Lane as fast as you can for Agent Tupper and it's Agent Wilson here. Thanks" He slammed the phone shut stuffing it in his pocket.

Agent Wilson cracked a small smile, Agent Tom Tupper was a legend in the MI9 tech department at the HQ and he was finally meeting him. Well the unconscious form of him. He suddenly felt guilty that he had run him over but he had seen Tom step out in front of him and he wasn't paying attention to the road.

He unzipped the backpack on Tom's back and placed the ID, the slightly smashed MP3 player and headphones into it as gently as he could and re-zipped it.

The MI9 ambulance had just arrived and the medics came straight over to Tom.

"Agent Wilson. Is this Agent Tupper?" A medic asked. Wilson nodded. "What happened here?"

So Wilson recalled the recent events while the medics got Tom stable and into a stretcher. He was taken to the hospital via the ambulance while Wilson followed in his car.

On reaching the hospital, Tom was immediately taken into Resus while Wilson waited in the waiting room with his laptop. Using Tom's name on the MI9 database, Wilson searched for agents linked to Tom that he could call and inform them of the situation.

He found an Agent London that was Tom's mentor and decided to call him.

"London speaking"

"Agent London? I'm Agent Wilson from the MI9 disguise department. Am I right that Agent Tupper is one of your agents that you mentor?"

"Yes Tom's one my agents why? What's happened?" Frank replies.

"He was just in an accident, got hit by a car. He's at the MI9 Hospital and so am I. I'll explain more once you get here"

"I'll be right over" Frank says ending the call.

Frank placed the phone down and rubbed his hands in his face sighing in frustration. Tom had just been involved in an accident and he was supposed to leave soon for MI5. That wasn't going to happen anytime soon depending on how serious Tom's injuries were.

Frank grabbed his coat and phone heading into the lift and up to ground level into the school. Making his way past students and doing his best to avoid teachers he made it to his car and got into it. Opening his phone he dialled Stella's number.

"Frank what's up?"

"Stella you're going to have to cover for me for a few hours. I've cancelled the teams mission today and a senior team will take over instead"

"Wait why? What's happened?"

"I've got to go to the hospital Tom's been in an accident. You and the team can come later"

"Alright I'll make my way to HQ and tell the team soon"

"Thanks Stella" Frank quickly ends the call and drives as fast as he could to the hospital.

Entering the hospital waiting room, Frank looks around for Agent Wilson and is rewarded when a slim looking man approaches him.

"Agent London? Good I'm Agent Wilson" The two shake hands.

"Call me Frank. What happened to Tom?"

"I'm Matthew. I'm the driver that unfortunately hit him. I was driving down the road and Tom just stepped out from behind another car looking at what I think was his MP3 and he didn't see me at all"

"It's not all your fault Matthew. If Tom was paying attention to the road like he should have then this wouldn't really have happened at all. We'll talk to him once he wakes up and see what happened from his point of view"

"Agent Wilson?" A doctor entered the waiting room. Frank and Matthew went over to him and introduced themselves.

"Agent Tupper is currently stable at the moment but has not regained consciousness yet. We took him for an MRI earlier and the scan shows that he has sustained no serious damage, just a sprained knee and a few bruised ribs with the odd minor bruises and cuts. He will need to stay off his feet for a few days to rest and to give his knee time to heal and will need to stay in the hospital overnight as he has a mild concussion. If you would like to see him he is down in Room 12B"

Frank thanked the doctor before he and Matthew headed down to Tom's room.


Whooo what an exciting and dramatic chapter, but will Tom be alright after this? Is he still going to leave?
