(SKUL HQ)

The cell was small and quiet. The one thing you could hear was drips of old rain water dropping from the pipes. Zoe was unconscious when Dan woke up. He opened his eyes just a tiny bit and saw a mouldy concrete wall with bugs and dirt everywhere. He sat up in pain and confusion wondering what had happened when he suddenly remembered, Zoe! He turned around to see Zoe with a cut on her forehead moaning and wriggling. He crawled over to get to her feeling guilty he had broken his promise.

"Zoe, Zoe wake up. Please wake up I need you. Please!" when he spoke the last word it barely came out. He whispered it so softly that it would take a dog to hear it. He even started to cry a little but caught himself when Zoe turned around to look at him. "Zoe, I...I'm so sorry I broke our promise." He was rambling and apologizing like crazy. He spoke so fast she couldn't even hear.

"Dan, shhhh... It's ok; I'm fine and were going to get out of here. We never saw it coming, it's not your fault, I never thought anything was. I love you." When Zoe said those three words he felt comforted and that he could never feel this happy, although, the exception of being stuck in a cell in SKUL HQ might have changed things.

"I love you two. I always have and you're right, were going to get out. Are you sure you're ok though, being stuck back in a SKUL cell? "

"Yeah, although the last cell I had was a bit better." Trying to make light of the situation wasn't helping although she tried as hard as she could. Dan stood up and gently pulled Zoe up with him. They shared a quick kiss before the grand master and 4 of his goons came in.

"V95, we have work to do. Get the boy, he is useful to us." Two goons walked over and picked Dan up and he fought as hard as he could. Zoe was screaming and Dan was yelling and attempting to pull himself out of there hold but it didn't work. The other goons picked Zoe up and took the two of them to a room with large machines and images of General Floppsey everywhere.

"Zoe, it's going to be ok. I love you." Zoe mouthed I love you too back to him whilst she cried and two men hooked her up to a machine.

"You won't hurt Zoe if you know what's good for you."

"On the contrary my dear boy, I was never going to, I was just going to erase her memory of you and the rest of those "agents" "

"Dan, know no matter what I will always love you, no matter what." Quickly Zoe screamed and her head jerked to the side and when she finally calmed down she looked to Dan and said; "MI 9, you will die." She ripped herself free off the machinery and ran towards Dan pushing everyone out of the way.

"Zoe, think this through, what have they done to you?"

"Nothing, they made me stronger and my name is V95." Dan wriggled his way free of the guards and ran out the door worried and upset about what had happened to his girlfriend and he was determined to fix it whatever the cost.
