NoCo Spy Academy

Betrayal

Noah's diary

"The next morning, I was told that Cody had regained consciousness. I went to see him in the infirmary. "Cody!" I exclaimed, 'Noah!' exclaimed Cody when he saw me. "I'm... I'm sorry..." I apologized, "Sorry? For what?" asked Cody, 'I should have known the Viper was going to shoot, I should have protected you better,' "Hey, you're human. You can't know everything either. It's not your fault. You didn't shoot me. The important thing now is that we stop the Black Vipers.", 'No.', 'What?', 'No.', 'What do you mean, no?', "No, WE won't stop the Black Vipers. I'm going to stop them.", 'Wait... what?', 'There's no way you're going to get hurt again because of me.', 'But I told you you can't blame yourself, you had nothing to do with it.', 'I'm supposed to be the agency's most competent spy, but I couldn't even protect the new kid who was my teammate.', "Well, the new kid's going to teach you something. When you're a team, you're a team through and through. In good times and bad. You don't have the right to decide for me.", 'Cody...', 'No, there's no 'Cody...' there. We started this mission together, we'll finish it together. I didn't answer. He's right... I can't decide for him. So, once he was out of the infirmary, we continued... together. We'll find a trail together."

Cody's diary

"Noah visited me the next morning. And, incredibly, he felt guilty about what happened to me. What's more, he even wanted to get me out of the mission to protect me. I had to remind him that we were a team to get that idea out of his head. The following players were dedicated to finding a new lead. But nothing came of it. At least... that's what I thought until just now. "I've found it!" exclaimed Noah, 'Do you know where the Vipers will strike?', "Better. I know who the mole in the Nest is," "The mole? What mole?", "Oh... it's true I hadn't told you about that. Some time ago, I managed to see that my diary had been read. I quickly realized that it had to be a member of the Nest who'd read it", "Wait? How did you know that?", "It's simple. I always position my diary in a particular way and put other indicators. The day I realized it, a few indicators had moved. What's more, I'd found a clue in my locker. Analysis of the clue revealed that it was a Viper who had read my diary. Taking into account that only Eagles can come into the Nest, it was easy to determine that we had a traitor in the Nest. Didn't you notice anything in your diary? I thought about it, but couldn't find anything obvious. So I went back to my diary and checked a few things. I still hadn't found anything... until the last page I'd written. A small line, very small. I checked the other pages and there were more. "I've never made these lines..." I'd said to Noah, "The traitor takes a photo so as not to waste too much time and risk getting caught. He's probably using it to get a fix on where you stopped. So... tell me, did you encrypt what you were writing?" asked Noah, 'Uh...', 'Oh... no...', 'Sorry...', "Well... it doesn't matter. In any case, as I told you, I know who the mole is.", "And who's that?", "It's simple, after we returned from our mission, I put a tracer on all the members of the Nest. I'd already cleared you, so I didn't put a tracer on you, of course. The lab experts stayed in the Nest every time and the spies were always in pairs and went on missions. Clearly, no one was suspicious of their movements", 'I thought you'd found the mole?', "Yes. If no one I'm watching is suspicious, that means the culprit is the only person I couldn't watch.", 'Me?', "Although you were one of the only ones without the tracer, I told you I'd already cleared you. No, there was a 2nd person I couldn't keep an eye on because he was always inaccessible. Our boss". I almost choked when I heard that, "Wow... seriously? But why would he give us the mission order?" I asked, 'That's what I'd like to know.', 'Well... are we going to confront him?', "No, we can't. If we accuse him without catching him in the act, he might just fire us. Besides, the evidence I have wouldn't be enough to arrest him. We can't tail him either because he's like a shadow. No one's ever seen him.", 'What do we do then?', 'We find the Vipers' base!"."

Noah's diary

"After several days of surveillance, I finally figured out who the mole was. So I explained the whole story and my evidence to Cody. Unfortunately, we're still stuck because we have to arrest our boss in the act or with other evidence. So we had to find a clue as to where the Vipers were hiding. We tried every possible method. Searching through clues, using triangulation... nothing worked... and there were only 3 days left before the Vipers put their plans into action. "What about the dead guy?" asked Cody. I quickly realized he was referring to the corpse found at the Action studio, "That's more up to us. If it was related to our case, we would have been warned," 'Who warns in this case?'. I didn't answer, because the answer was... our boss! Obviously, if the case was linked to the Black Viper, the boss wouldn't have told us. "We've got to find out which team is in charge of this case", I said, 'Can't we ask the lab?', "Unfortunately, whatever the situation, the lab's experts have no right to say who's working on which case. We'll have to counter-espionage to find out who's in charge of solving the murder. Ready?", "More than ready!"
