MISSION: 1D A Royal Pain

Chapter 4

SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG BUT ITS FINALLY HERE! Yay!

"Where are we?" Harry asked while looking out the window.
"That's classified." Ethel told him.
"Niall shut up!" Liam shoved Niall that was snoring rather loud.
"Mmhmm..." Niall rolled over to his other side and went back to sleep.
"I can't believe this is really happening." Louis muttered as he gazed out the window.
"So what happens when we reach your... Ah... Base?" Liam asked Ethel.
"First I'm sure they'll feed you..."Ethel started, but Niall cut her off,
"Thank you God!" Niall rolled onto his back and threw his arms up. "I'm starving!"
"Niall your always starving." Liam rolled his eyes.
Ethel smiled and continued, "after eating we'll sit down and explain what is going on. Then we'll decide what we'll do next." Ethel told them.
"5 minutes and we'll be there." Roy's voice came through the intercom.
"What does it look like? The base I mean." Liam asked.
"Big and white." Ethel gave them a simple description.
"How much danger are we really in?" Louis leaned forward in his seat and asked.
"To be honest I'm not sure how bad you situation is. Although, what happened back in Newscastle tells me it's not too good." Ethel explained. No one said anything after that. She felt bad for them, not long ago they were singing and dancing on stage and now they have to worry about a secret spy organization wanting to kill them. She was very interested in why they wanted this band so badly. Her questions would be answered soon. She glanced out the window and saw the shed in the middle of the trees. No one comes here by car or walking, only by air transportation because it was so far out.
"There it is." Ethel pointed to the wooden shed.
"What? Your kidding right?" Niall got up from the chair and looked out a window.
"Nope." She said.
"I thought you said it was big?" Harry asked her.
"It's underground." She said simply and all they're jaws dropped.
"Is the landing strip underground as well?" Liam said in a joking way.
"Actually yes." Ethel nodded.
"Huh? How do we land then?" Niall asked.
"Watch." Ethel pointed to a area of tall grass.
"Brace yourselves were about to land." Roy's voice came again.
The band members all sat down, but kept they're eyes on the grassy area.
"Roy let's the base know we arrived and..." Ethel broke her sentence off. The grassy area started to move. The ground opened and an airstrip was brought up.
"Wow!" They all said at once."
"That's amazing!" Liam said truly surprised.
The jet started to glide down and soon they were landed. Roy pulled the Jet into a hidden hanger under the trees.
"Alright, follow me out." Ethel told them.
They all stood and walked down the steps. "So the base is underneath the shed?" Liam asked.
"Yep." Roy answered while hopping down the steps. Ethel shook her head and laughed at him. She turned her head in time to catch Louis staring at her. He smiled and looked away.
"Ok, let's see... One, two three, four...everyone's here, let's go." Ethel said. They started walking through the tall grass when the ground started to shake. "Brace yourselves!" Ethel bent her knees and balanced herself. She turned her head in time to see Niall fall over from the shaking and she laughed. The airstrip was pulled back into the ground and it looked the way it was before. Not a trace of any jet.
"Ok, moving on!" Ethel yelled. Soon they reached the trees and started toward the shed.
"How long have you been a spy?" Harry walked faster to catch up with Ethel.
"Well, I've been training to be one my whole life." Ethel told him.
"Even as a baby?" He said jokingly.
"Yeah, I'm sure my dad figured out some way to teach me even then." Ethel laughed, but wasn't joking.
"Your parents are spys too?" Harry asked.
"Yep." She nodded.
"Wow, so your parents, you, and your boyfriend are all spys. Do you have any grandparents? Are they spys also?" He asked.
Ethel laughed again, "yes I have grandparents, but they are retired spys. And who told you I have a boyfriend?"
"Oh ok. Well I just assumed, uh, what's his name back there," he motioned to Roy, "was the lucky guy."
"Well he is a lucky guy. He lucky I'm his sister." Ethel joked and Harry laughed. Ethel observed him for a moment and discovered he had green eyes and was the tallest in the band.
"I must say, I enjoyed the stage performance you guys put on." She told Harry.
"You watched us? Harry asked and Ethel nodded.
He squinted at her for a few seconds, "Were you in the floor 1 up front?" He asked curiously.
"You got it." Ethel smiled.
"I knew you looked familiar!" Harry laughed.
"Oh your the girl that stuck her tongue out and crossed her eyes at me!" Louis stepped forward. He was obviously eavesdropping on their conversation.
"That was me." Ethel stepped over a fallen branch and spotted the shed. "There it is!" They all looked up and everyone sped up their pace to reach it. She thought they were either anxious for answers or hungry. Probably both.
They finally reached the shed when Roy spoke up, "When we step inside make sure all you phones and pretty boy jewelry it stuffed deep in your pockets."
"Roy!" Ethel yelled at him trying not to laugh.
"I prefer peasants to hold my jewelry though." Louis' face was as serious as could be when he walked over to Roy and reached in his pocket and pretended to hand Roy jewelry. Roy raised an eyebrow as he reached out to take whatever Louis was giving him, but when Louis opened his hand there was nothing there. All the boys including Louis started laughing. Ethel wasn't sure why she found it funny, was it because of Roy's face or that Louis played a joke on the biggest jokester Ethel has ever known, her brother.
"Ok guys, if you still want to eat we gotta go." Ethel told them through laughter. She never expected laughing on her first mission, but something about these guys made it fun. She would need to stay professional though. While in a mission she's a spy, she can be her weird self later.
Niall was the first behind Ethel when she stepped inside the shed. "I'm SO hungry." He licked his lips, "do you think they will have chicken?"
Ethel smiled and shook her head while the rest of the boys rolled their eyes. "Ok, hold on to the side bars please." Ethel opened a box on the wall that looked like a control box. She punched in two exes and two I's.
"What's that mean?" Niall asked in his Irish accent.
"That's classified." Ethel pushed the red button and winked, "hold on." The shed started to shake as metal walls came out of the ground forming a box around them. The band members eyes were wide and Ethel heard Liam say, "I'm not sure if I Prefer this or a high speed chase."
The floor beneath them dropped and Harry yelled.
Lights flashed when it became too dark to see so everyone only saw flashes of the others. Louis looked sick but was still smiling, Liam looked almost scared, but was trying to stay tough, Harry had his eyes closed and a huge smile on his face, and Niall looked like he had squeezed every inch of his body.
Finally it started slowing down and after everyone got their bearings again the metal doors opened and the bright light blinded them momentarily. Even after living here all her life she had never adjusted to the light and the shed elevator. They said they make it so bright when people come out of the darkness that way if an enemy ever tried to enter, the base would be able to see the enemy before they saw them. Her eyes adjusted and she saw her father and mother.
"Ethel! You made it!" Her mother walked over to her smiling and embraced her. Her father also hugged her all the while eyeing the boys.
The head of the RSSO, Mr. Bombay, headed toward them. Ethel looked over at the boys to see their faces when Mr. Bombay stood next to them. Or should I say... Over them. He towered over them and Ethel was sure Nialls face turned white, but she couldn't tell with the place already being so bright.
Mr. Bombay smiled which was very rare and said with his dark voice, "Welcome, One Direction, to the USSO base."
