A/N  Damn ok first, I'm so so sorry. This is the last chapter of the book, but the real author's note is gonna be in the next section (just a conclusion/apology.

Without further ado, here's the last chapter of Spy School: British Invasion!

Over the Atlantic Ocean

Private Jet

April 19

0900 hours

Well, were where supposed to have been on this plane a week ago, on the 13th, a day after my knighting. But, due to poor planning, we were on this plane now, and not then. I had just woken up from sleeping and was disoriented. Erica's hand was in mine, and I have just had a nightmare. However, I was proud of myself for not yelling.

Since we had been delayed a week, it gave us time to look around London and go sightseeing. We had to almost everything, and I had especially liked The British Museum (hat tip to the actual SSBI). Zoe was sitting across from me, next to Mike.

Jawa and Chip were sitting across the aisle from us, facing each other. Catherine, Cyrus, and Alexander were all in the cockpit. Gradually, everyone woke up, except for Chip and Jawa.

"Wow, that was some mission." Mike said, trying to break the tension.

Things were still weird with Zoe, which was unfortunate. She was a good friend; but when she was jealous, she was very annoying and irrational.

"Yeah." I agreed.

"You're the first person in our class to get shot!" Zoe said, excitedly.

Huh. Maybe she wasn't mad or jealous anymore. I smiled timidly at her, and she smiled back.

"I know." I said, sighing.

"Actually, I am." Erica said.

"What?" All three of us asked at the same time.

"How?" Mike asked.

"I shot myself once, to know what it felt like." She said nonchalantly.

"Ok, you've got serious problems." Zoe said, disgusted.

"Yeah. That's so weird and creepy." Mike said.

All of a sudden, Erica's poker face disappeared. She burst into laughter, and Mike and I joined in. I knew she had been joking, but it was still funny.

"That was a sick joke." Zoe said, and glared at Erica in a way that made me sure she didn't like that fact that Erica and I were together.

I sighed and closed my eyes, just trying to escape by falling asleep. It seemed like Zoe wanted to talk to Erica alone. Mike got the hint and fell asleep. I didn't. I know it was rude, but I wanted to know what they were gonna talk about.

After about 30 minutes, Zoe said, "I'm better for him than you are."

Erica took my hand again, and if it was possible, I heard her stare coldly at Zoe.

"You know it's true." Zoe continued. "Don't you even care about him? Don't you wonder what he is going to feel when you fail him in some way? Use him to further then mission? Sacrifice him for the mission? Huh?"

"I will never put him in a position where he will have to be sacrificed in the first place." Erica said coldly.

"Whatever. Your family is messed up. My family is normal. My family would be better for him." Zoe said bitterly.
