Spies

Chapter 6

Seth's POV

I breathed heavily. They caught Crystal. I was the only one left to free the other Radicals. I ran to the Radical base. I put in the pass code. An all black SUV pulled up. I hurried inside. I glanced at the SUV as the door shut and locked. I ran to the gadget room. It was so quiet that I heard the front door open. I packed a bunch of gadgets into a backpack. I put the backpack on. The only person that could enter had to be a Radical. I slowly exited the gadget room.

"Did you do it?" I heard a familiar voice.

I turned to look a Cathy. Of course she'd be able to come in.

"Was it you?" She asked. Grief showed clearly on her face.

"What?" I looked puzzled and concerned.

"Did you poison Lindsey?" She asked, almost shouting.

"No! Is she dead?" I asked.

"Of course she's dead! She was poisoned! Don't lie to me! Did you poison her?" Cathy took a step closer.

"I swear I didn't poison her." I stared at Cathy.

Cathy froze. I watched her. She ran to me and threw her arms around me. She started crying into my shoulder. I rubbed her back.

"I knew you'd be here." She breathed out as she dried her eyes. "I'm just scared."

"What are you scared of?" I asked.

"I promised I wouldn't tell." Cathy looked away.

"I won't tell anyone else. I promise." I made her look at me.

"You ever head of The Boss going out with a Spy?" She asked.

"Yeah." I stared at her.

"The Radicals threatened to kill her. What if they found out about you and me? Would the Spies threaten to kill you? Would the Radicals threaten to kill me? I just love you too much, I don't want any of us to be in danger." Cathy looked at me with fear in her eyes.

"I won't let that happen. I'll protect us both. And, if they every find out, we can just run away." I put my hand on her cheek.

Cathy smiled slightly. I leaned in and pressed my lips against hers. She kissed me back. Cathy pulled away.

"They're looking for you. They caught The Boss and Crystal. All they need is you. Zoey wants to torture all the Radicals because of Lindsey's death. No one can stop her, she's the Spies Leader now." Cathy explained quickly.

"I have a idea. Tell her you found me. I'll free the Radicals. You and me can run away together. Our love cannot be stopped." I smiled.

"I can't just run away. What about Patrick and my parents? They'd be devastated." Cathy told me.

"You're right. I don't know what Crystal would do. I'm the only one she's got." I frowned. "But I want us to be together."

"That's going to be hard." Cathy stared at me.

"We can try." I stroked her cheek.

"And if that doesn't work?" Cathy put her hand on my hand.

"I will make it work." I told her.

"And if they find out?" Cathy intertwined her fingers with mine.

"They'd have to kill me. Because without your love, I'd die anyways." I told her.

"If they kill you, they'd have to kill me too. It's another Romeo and Juliet story." Cathy told me.

I smiled slightly.

"So what's the plan?" Cathy asked.

"Tell them you found me. I'll hide some gadgets in my pockets. You take me to the prison. I'll use knockout gas to knockout any Spy. I'll have to knock you out too so there won't be suspicions. I'll get all the Radicals back. By midnight, I'll be waiting under the tree by the Spies base. You can meet me there." I told her.

Cathy nodded. She brought her wrist up to her face. "I got the remaining Radical." She said.

"What's your position?" I recognized Zoey's voice.

"I'm on my way now." Cathy lied.

"Okay." Zoey said.

I put a whole bunch of knockout gas grenades in my pockets. I also put a gun and a small device that would open any thing that had a pass code. I looked at Cathy and nodded. She made sure you couldn't see the gadgets. She reached in her back pocket and pulled out handcuffs. She put them on me. She walked me out to the SUV and put me in the backseat. She got in and started to drive. She kept her eyes on the road. I stared at my handcuffs. I was pretty sure there was a camera in here that didn't record sound. Cathy pulled up in front of the Spies base. She got out and went to my door. She pulled me out. I pretended to pull up a good fight by struggling. Cathy opened the door. She dragged me in. Zoey was waiting by the door.

"Well done." She looked at Cathy and nodded. Zoey got close to me. "You're just a lot of trouble, aren't you?"

I spit on her face. Her instant reaction was to slap me. I saw Cathy cringe as the slap echoed.

"Take him to the prison." Zoey told Cathy as she wiped her face.

Cathy nodded and dragged me to the prison.

"Imma have to knock you out manually. Which pocket are the handcuff keys in?" I asked in a whisper.

"Left back pocket." She whispered.

I nodded. She put in the code to enter the prison. She pushed me in. There was no one around. I hit Cathy hard in the head. She collapsed.

"Sorry." I whispered.

I reached in her back pocket and got the keys. I unlocked my hand cuffs and dropped them on the floor. I took out my gun and shot all the cameras. I took out the little decoder. I put it on the wall by the open all code. I stared at Cathy. The decoder made a noise. I looked at it. I punched in the code it gave me. There was a loud buzzing sound as all the doors opened. I looked for Crystal. I heard the prison door open. Patrick, Roger, Zoey, and a couple of other Spies stood at the door. I reached in my pocket and pulled out a knock out Grenade. I threw it into the crowd of Spies. A couple of them fell. Patrick ran to Cathy and checked her. Zoey put up her gun. The Boss ran out of the crowd and tackled Zoey. I felt a hand touch my shoulder. I turned and saw Crystal.

"Good job." She told me.

I nodded. I threw another knockout Grenade. More Spies were knocked out. The boss threw Zoey over his shoulder.

"Let's go." He told us.

Zoey hung limply, which meant she was knocked out. All the Radicals followed the boss. I stared at Cathy. She was on the floor. Patrick was knocked out beside her.

"Come on. Knockout gas doesn't last long." Crystal told me.

I nodded and followed her. We all headed to the Radical base using Spy cars.
