ON THE PROWL

These two superheroes had had a lifetime of saving lives. Day after day, they had battled the streets fighting crime and protecting innocent people from the clutches of evil.

Now, their lives were slightly less busy, as they left saving the world to younger superheroes. However, they still had the energy for one last mission. The phone began to ring...

3 hours before...

It was sunny morning and the two superheroes where eating a delicious breakfast. It was eggs, sausages, bacon and orange juice, but these two superheroes weren't like the rest. They slept by day and saved the world by night. Their boss was rather strange. The bright sun was shining in the empty sky. The superheroes were celebrating. They had just successfully finished all their cases, or so they thought.

"I am so happy that we are finally finished! I haven't slept that long since I started all this 'saving the world' business!" exclaimed Andy, the older one who had just turned 26.

"Yeah, same with me. I slept like a log!" laughed Freya, aged 23, Andy's little sister and spy partner and they got on like a house on fire.They finished their meal and happily got dressed into some comfy relaxing clothes, not in the slightest missing the tight and heavy spy suits they had to wear for missions. They both worked for spectrum 9, a highly advanced spy camp.

As soon as they brushed their teeth, grabbed a water bottle and a snack they where off. It was almost like they had never seen day, after all they worked by night. One of the many things they missed was going on long hikes through the mountains. When they were little their dad used to take them hiking every summer and they enjoyed it so much that hiking was the only thing on their mind.

Then just as Freya and Andy had arrived at the mountains the phone rang. Andy picked it up.

"Hello? Who is there? We are very busy so could you call us back later?" asked Andy.

"It's your boss here, and it is urgent," whispered a voice down the receiver.

"Remember, it is our holiday we can not help you. What happened though?"questioned Freya taking the phone from Andy's hand.

"There is a mole in our base and all the agents that I would have picked for the job have called in sick. This is urgent! There has been a death threat and it seems they have chosen the day when you two weren't in town." answered their boss's voice.

There was a pause when nobody said anything. They were thinking. They could either stay on holiday and enjoy themselves or save a life. They were good people so chose to help.

"Ok. What do we need to do?" the two spy's asked at the same time, sharing a look of confidence and fear.
