Hi all! Yes here we go again :D I have decided to put all my stories into here for now on unless one is seriously long and that will be a separate story. This is the first of a story arc called Invalid. Just to clarify it has nothing to do with my previous story Evil Follows Me Home. Well I hope you guys like this. I have it all written up so hopefully posting wont take too long. Enjoy

Invalid

VIN

We're in Mr. Soper's office. We're not in trouble or anything, except if we're caught of course. It's a mission. Macbeth has placed a box filled with a gas that when released will cause the person to see hallucinations. Mr. Soper would appear to be crazy. Then as usual Macbeth will take over Pinkerton ect. Yeah, not this time. I search his desk while Zero climbs on top of the cabinet and Newton peers inside the giant bookshelf. I start to open a draw when a tight hand clasps around my wrist. Zero jerks my hand away and gesture for Newton to come over.

"Trixie we found it but if we open the draw the gas will be released, what do we do?" Zero asks

"Okay hang on a moment…done. That draw was never in the desk, it's actually Macbeth's box. I've just double checked so, Newton go ahead."

He pulls out a voice recorder that we used this morning to record Macbeth's voice saying the password to disarm the box. I glance at the others and slowly open up the fake draw. Nothing happens thank god. I slap Newton on the back knocking his glasses slightly obscure. Footsteps echo outside.

"It's Mr. Soper! Quick, hide." Trixie barks

Grabbing the box, I activate my grappling hook and climb into the air duct. Newton squeezes behind the bookshelf and Zero swings up on top of the filing cabinet again, pressing against the wall. Mr. Soper opens the door with a click. Goes to his desk and rifles through his papers, takes one from the stack and exits. I release the breath I had been holding and touch back down on the wooden floorboards. We race up to Headquarters and watch Zero smash the box to pieces.

I glance at the clock and gasp. We're going to be late for Macbeth's class. We run down the corridors. As we round the last corner and the top of the stairs emerge, Zero whoops swings herself onto the banister side saddles it and slides down to the bottom where she jumps off. I can't help but stop and stare as her white hair trails out behind her and that contagious laugh floats up to my ears. Trixie raises an eyebrow and I pretend as if I've just remembered something and run down the stairs.

We enter with thirty seconds to spear. Macbeth storms in and starts her usual rant about INK and if anyone knows anything they are to say so now. I roll my eyes and make a face at Zero. She giggles under her breath and then pulls on at me mouthing what Macbeth says but putting on a face. I try hard to contain my fits of giggles. Macbeth slaps a ruler down on our desk making me jump and Zero glare.

"What were you doing? Discussing your next mission? I know you're members of the Invisible Network of Kids, admit it!"

"Invisible, what?" I say

"Don't lie; tell everyone you're secret agents."

"Ma'am if I was an agent I definitely wouldn't be sitting in this class." Zero sneers

"Detention!"

She stalks back to the front of the class. The look on her face can only mean one thing. Lines…I groan and pull out my notebook that's filled with scribbles. The door clicks open and Mr. Soper enters. I heave a sigh, thankful for the interruption. He looks this way, but not at me. His gaze lingers for a moment a little to the right, where Zero sits. She doesn't notice, maybe I'm seeing things it wouldn't surprise me. Then his eyes move across the class taking in our faces. Yep, Vin you're being stupid as usual.

"Sorry for the interruption I have an announcement. You all remember the director. Well he's coming back to Pinkerton. Don't worry he's only here to check your student files, just to make sure everything is in order and that your parents have signed the appropriate documents, not very interesting. If you do see him around be polite, but I know you all will be. If there's anything you need to ask see me after class. That's all thankyou Miss Macbeth."

Then he leaves.

Hmmm short but unfortunately that's how all my stories sort of start off. I will post chapter two soon. Soooo what do you all think? Is it a good idea to do one shots and so forth? Requests would be awesomely amazing! Well please stay tuned because I've got tones more to go.
