It was lunchtime at St Hearts and Zoe, Alex and Aneisha were sitting with Byron on a bench outside, and as usual, Byron had his guitar.

"So, you can write a song about anything?" Zoe asked Byron.

"Yeah, pretty much. Like what did you have for your lunch"

"I had rice pudding" Aneisha said.

# Life is hard

# like a school rice pudding

# When you've got no friends

# and you're this good looking#

The three girls laugh at the end sentence, however, their smiles dropped from their face when they heard Melissa, and her posse shout out.

"Loser! Terrible, rubbish!" Alex thought it was rich coming from the girl who used to chase after you in the canteen if you had 20 peas instead of 19.

"I think you're way more talented than Calvin" Zoe told Byron, trying to make him feel better. He lets out a soft laugh in reply. Their pencils then started to buzz, meaning that Frank was trying to contact them. Alex puts a hand on Byron's shoulder and smiles at him before the girls rush over to the broom cupboard where they meet the boys.

Alex scans her thumb and Zoe pulls the broom to activate the lift.

The lift doors opened, and nothing could have prepared the team for what they saw. Frank was singing and dancing.

#Dancing all night to my party

#Yeah, yeah, yeah

# Come on... # Frank finally spots his team when he turns around mid-dance.

"Calvin Lame?" Dan asks.

"I say we arrest him for writing...
# Come on down to my party... # Tom starts to sing and dance, and the others join in.

# Yeah, yeah, yeah! # The others sing along whilst playfully looking at Frank.

"Actually, he didn't write it. This man did. His record producer, Cuthbert Peabody." Frank says swiftly moving on. He moves his hand so that the team can see Cuthbert Peabody's information appear on the hologram screen.

"So, that guy's a master criminal?" Aneisha says in confusion.

"Possibly. In recent weeks, top secret computer components have been stolen from this MI9 research unit."

"How? There are cameras all over." Alex asks Frank.

"Exactly, to bypass the cameras, the thief must have expert knowledge so MI9 fitted some equipment with homing beacons and left it out as bait. Sure enough, within days, it was stolen.

"And they traced the beacon back to" Zoe asked being just as confused as everyone else.

"Sorry, but how can a music producer steal stuff from MI9" Aneisha said trying to make sense of the whole thing.

"Well, that's your mission. infiltrate CP records and find out how. and why"

"Cool! how do we infiltrate a record company?" Dan said also having no idea how this mission is going to work. Alex saw the look on Zoe's face and knew she had an idea.

"Byron!" Zoe suddenly said and took Aneisha hand and dragged her to the lift. The doors shut and everyone else just looked at each other. Alex sighed.

"I'll go see what their up to" Alex made her way into the lift. She opens the door and saw Aneisha and Zoe down the corridor. Alex caught up with Zoe and Aneisha as Zoe told them her idea.
