Your Briefing:
Hannah Carmichael: Super Spy trying to take down the evil CGT spy agency. Status: The world believes she is dead, CGT knows she is alive.
Zeke Anderson: Spy with the real Government. Working with Hannah to take down CGT. Status: Shot by Baxter, wearing a bulletproof vest. Alive but unconscious.
Baxter: Zeke’s former spy partner. Status: Double agent for CGT, shot Zeke Anderson.
Stephanie Winchester: Fellow spy and friend to Hannah and Zeke. Status: The world believes she is dead, CGT knows she is alive. Currently wounded by gunshot wound in the shoulder.
Hannah’s Father is Alive. Appearing to help Hannah and her team, the Father she thought to be dead is apparently alive. Will he be able to help her in her mission to bring down CGT? Will she share the CGT ACCOUNTS file she found with him? Where has he been all this time?
Hannah watched Zeke’s chest rise and fall. It had been almost 12 hours since they had arrived at her Father’s base of operations. Around here they had nicknamed it The Palace, but the abandoned factory was anything but. Zeke stirred and Hannah leaned forward, her hand on his arm.
Slowly Zeke opened his eyes and looked around, lunging forward in an attempt to sit up.
“Zeke, it’s okay,” Hannah said, gently pushing his arm down. He focused on her and his eyes softened.
“Where are we?” He asked, glancing around their small infirmary.
“Somewhere safe. I guess it was my turn to sit here and watch you wake from the dead,” Hannah said, trying to keep her tone light. Zeke gave a small smile and winced, reaching for his chest.
“You were shot, but you had your vest on. You’ve got some bruises and cracked ribs, but you’ll be okay.” Hannah stood up and got Zeke a glass of water, handing it to him and watching as he drank the entire glass.
“That’s embarrassing; not everyone passes out this long after being shot with a vest on.” Zeke said as he put the glass on the table next to him. His eyes went dark, “It was Baxter wasn’t it? That wasn’t a dream?” Zeke asked.
Hannah sighed and nodded, motioning around the room, “At least we get to stay in a five star hideaway,” She said, smiling.
Zeke frowned and sat up slowly, “Where is this five star hideaway? How did we get away from Baxter?”
Hannah sat and took a deep breath, “My Dad came and took us all here.”
Zeke frowned and shook his head, “I thought your Dad was dead?”
“So did I,” Hannah said quietly.
Zeke put his hand over hers and smiled softly. “So where has he been all this time?” He asked, looking around the room again.
“Hunting CGT.” Hannah smiled as his eyes widened and she leaned back, crossing her arms. “I know,” She said.
Zeke rubbed his chin and shook his head, “Are all the people in your family spies?” He asked, smiling. Hannah stood up and clapped her hands together,
“That’s what I said!” She chuckled then looked down at the bruises poking through Zeke’s open shirt.
He followed her gaze and frowned, “Where’s Baxter?” He asked, his voice hard.
“They’re holding him in a makeshift interrogation room,” She said. When Zeke started to stand, Hannah held out her hand.
“I have to see him, ask him why he betrayed his country.” Zeke said, his tone almost a whine.
“They’re questioning him now. They’ll get information out of him.” Even Hannah didn’t believe that statement as Zeke rolled his eyes.
“I can get more out of him than they can. We were friends for goodness sake.” Zeke set his jaw and Hannah exhaled, nodding before she led him towards the room where Baxter was being questioned. As they walked through the hallway, a loud siren filled the building and Hannah glanced back at Zeke. They started running towards the main room.
Zeke was breathing heavily behind her and Hannah slowed as they reached the large, open space. Computer monitors lined the far wall and most of her Dad’s people were crowded around one.
“What’s going on?” Hannah asked as she moved closer to the screen.
“Someone entered the perimeter,” James said quietly. Hannah pushed through the crowd to look closer at the screen. When she finally reached the front, she saw the image of the woman standing at their front door. The woman smiled at the screen and Hannah’s heart dropped.
Evelyn Carmichael.

James Carmichael, Hannah’s Father who was thought to be dead, has revealed himself.
Over the last 15 years, he had been working alone to take down the evil spy agency CGT in the shadows, allowing Hannah to believe he was dead. As he followed her career with CGT, Hannah can’t help but wonder why he never stepped in to help, or warn her about CGT’s true intentions.
Will Hannah and Stephanie show James and his team the CGT ACCOUNTS file they think holds a key to taking down the agency? Will they be able to trust someone who sat idly by for years?
Hannah and the Team will return on Tuesday 9 July, but will they find out about the Accounts File?

“Are all the people in my family spies?” Hannah asked as she sat inside the van, her voice shaking with anger. Her Dad looked at her and shrugged, turning back to Stephanie’s shoulder, as he attempted to stitch the gunshot wound.
“Things are complicated,” He said as he finished the last stitch.
“That’s an understatement,” Stephanie said, wincing as he tugged the line through her skin. Baxter was lying next to the still unconscious Zeke, his hands bound. Hannah had refused to leave her husband’s side on the floor of the van and she rolled her eyes.
“We need to get to my base of operations, then we can debrief you all.” Hannah’s Father said, turning to Stephanie. “I don’t believe we’ve officially met,” He put his hand out and smiled, “James Carmichael, nice to meet you.”
Stephanie leaned back in her seat and looking over at Hannah, shrugging.
Hannah narrowed her eyes at her Dad, “I thought you were dead, where have you been?” she asked. James sighed and shook his head. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Hannah, his eyes holding deep pain.
“I found out what your mother was doing pretty quickly when she first started her extracurricular activities,” His voice was low and Hannah tried to mask her deep surprise.
“Why didn’t you go to the police?” She asked.
“I tried, but then I found out your mother was working with CGT,” he raised his eyebrows and leaned in closer to her. “A place you’re familiar with.”
Hannah resisted the urge to lunge forward and break her Dad’s nose, instead rolling her shoulders and sitting straighter.
“Evelyn was at CGT?” She asked.
James nodded, “She was branching out on her own, and they didn’t like that very much. When I started poking around, they threatened our family; they threatened you.” He sighed and dropped his shoulders, “So I sent you away to school, and I left to protect you.”
“Great job of that,” Stephanie scoffed, “We’re being hunted by CGT anyway.”
Hannah sighed and shook her head, “Why take this long to reach out?” She asked.
James shrugged, “I was working on taking down CGT on my own, and when you joined them, I thought it was best to stay in the shadows.”
Hannah nodded towards the driver of the van, “I guess not totally alone,” She said.
James glanced back to his driver and smiled. “Along the way, you run into people with the same goals and enemies. I picked up some help throughout the years, that’s Allan in the driver’s seat.”
The man driving lifted his hand up in a short wave and Hannah sighed.
“Who else is on your team?” Stephanie asked, crossing her arms.
James turned, “I have a guy who handles the more advance technological problems, that’s Roy. Sarah does weaponry and we have all sorts of moles and undercover agents wherever we can place them. Getting Intel on CGT is challenging,” He looked at Hannah and raised an eyebrow, “You should know more than most.”
Hannah rolled her eyes and looked down at Baxter as he stirred slightly.
“We need to ask your friend some questions.” James said, shuffling in his seat to see out the front window.
“He isn’t our friend,” Hannah said quietly, sharing a look with Stephanie.
She still had the CGT Accounts file on her, and Hannah had the USB drives, but she wasn’t ready to share with her Dad just yet. Not until she could verify what he was saying.

Your Briefing:
Hannah Carmichael: Super Spy trying to take down the evil CGT spy agency. Status: The world believes she is dead, CGT knows she is alive.
Zeke Anderson: Spy with the real Government. Working with Hannah to take down CGT. Status: Unknown! Shot by Baxter.
Baxter: Zeke’s former spy partner. Status: Double agent for CGT, shot Zeke Anderson.
Is ZEKE ANDERSON Dead? Shot and fell to the ground at the hand of Baxter, will Hannah be able to save her husband, best friend, and herself? Can she get the CGT ACCOUNTS file into safe hands and avoid being captured or killed?
Zeke lay motionless on the ground, and Hannah felt herself frozen in place. Baxter turned to her, a twisted smile on his face. As he fired a shot at her, Hannah didn’t move, her eyes shifting to Zeke. A shadow covered her view as Stephanie lunged in front of Hannah.
Stephanie’s body jerked backwards and she groaned, holding her left shoulder as she stumbled backwards. Hannah reached out, but Stephanie was too far in front of her to catch. As Stephanie knelt on the ground, clutching her arm, Hannah navigated past her and charged forward at Baxter. His eyes widened at her sudden advance and they struggled for the gun.
More shots sprang into the air as Baxter tried to regain control. Hannah saw an opening and kicked his leg out. He stumbled and she took the gun as he slipped to the ground. She held it between his eyes and breathed heavily, glancing over to where Zeke was still lying still on the ground.
“Just shoot me,” Baxter said below her. She looked down and frowned.
“CGT will never let you live. They’ll just keep sending people like me until the threat is neutralised,” Baxter started laughing. Stephanie shuffled behind her and Hannah flipped Baxter’s gun around, whipped it into the side of Baxter’s head. He collapsed, now silent and Stephanie walked towards her, still holding her injured shoulder.
Hannah snapped her head around to Zeke and propelled herself forward. Falling to the ground at his side, Hannah looked for the wound. She didn’t see any blood and felt a burst of hope fill her heart. Pulling back his shirt she revealed a bullet proof vest and exhaled, leaning down and listening for breathing. When she pulled away, she put her hand on his neck and smiled as she felt a pulse.
Hannah glanced at the unconscious Baxter, lying on the ground. As Stephanie slowly made her way towards Hannah, sirens grew louder. The police were on the way, and they had to get out of here. She tried to pull Zeke to his feet, but his limp and heavy body slumped over and wouldn’t comply.
The sirens were getting closer and Hannah heard Stephanie shouting behind her. She turned and her eyes widened as a van drove over into the parking lot, speeding on top of the curb. It drove quickly to Stephanie and veered in front of her, blocking Hannah’s view. She turned back to Zeke, trying to drag him away from the van.
As it pulled away from its spot and closer to Hannah, she glanced around for Stephanie, but the van had swallowed her. Hannah reached behind her back for her gun, one hand still on Zeke’s collar, her heart stopping as the van door slid open.
The face that stared at her was like a distant memory,
“Get in the van!” he yelled. Hannah frowned and looked down at Zeke once more, then back up to the man she used to call her Father.
