Undercover episode 7

Undercover (a high ride) 7
Jade stared at the image of her director. The man who had basically raised her was the same man who had tried to kill her!
She put her head in her hands “I cannot believe this.” she gro-ned.
Her guess was, that since Cognito was retiring soon he wanted something bigger.
“But how is he planning on getting the kingdom?” she looked back at the computer screen and flipped back through the scenes “Wait a minute.” she froze on a picture in which the man was looking in a window “This is after the attack.” her eyes w¡dened “Henry!”
She ran towards the castle, the very definite sound of a helicopter reached her ears. She put on a burst of speed, mentally kicking herself for not thinking to change out of the ballgown first.
She ran around the castle to the back and skid to a stop.
Henry’s arms were tied behind his back and a man was pulling into into the helicopter, a hand clasped firmly over his mouth.
“Oh no.” She started running again, as fast as the ankle length dress would allow.
The Chopper started to slowly raise into the air, Prince Henry in,side.
“Oh no you don’t.” Jade put on one final burst of speed and jumped, grabbing onto one of the landing skids. Her grasp slipped slightly, but she was able to pull herself up.
The helicopter flew high into the air and over the town.
Jade watched as the scenery passed, not sure where they were headed.
About fifteen minutes later, it came to a rest on top of a building… a really tall building. As in, seventy-five stories tall, building.
The door to the chopper opened and Henry was shoved out, then Cognito stepped out behind him, a black ski mask over his face.
Apparently he was alone, because the Helicopter was empty.
“I hope you’re not afraid of heights, Your Highness.” The man growled “Because the ground comes awful fast.”
Jade crawled out from the underside of the chopper and straightened up, neither man noticing her presence.
“I thought I told you not to go Incognito on me.” she snapped.
Cognito spun around, his eyes wide.
Henry’s expression mirrored the other guy’s. Completely shocked.
“What are you doing here?” Cognito growled.
Jade glared “I’m doing my job. And what are you doing, Cognito?”
Henry took a slight step away from the man. Hannah knew this guy?
“I’m getting what I deserve!” Cognito shouted.
“The only thing you deserve is a pile of pea mush in a jail cell!” Jade snapped “Why are you doing this? Everyone looked up to you! They respected you! Why would you t-rn on them? Where are they anyways?”
“Since you’re not going to live to pass on the details anyways,” Cognito answered “They’re in an old mine just south of here.”
Henry watched as Jade shook her head.
She was trying desperately to be more mad then hurt. But it was hærd when the only father you’d ever known was planning on killing you.
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. A second later they snapped back open and her eyebrows lowered “I may not be leaving this rooftop, Cognito. But neither are you!”
With a snort, Cognito pulled out a pistol “Wanna bet?” he lunged for her and she quickly flipped out of the way, wishing for the hundredth time she was in her fighting clothes.
She spun around and kicked his gun from his hand.
Henry watched in frozen shock as the battle commenced.
Cognito was quite agile for his size and weight while Jade was having a h-rder time due to the frills around her feet.
Cognito grabbed Jade’s hands and pushed her back till her heels were at the edge of the roof “You were a good agent, Jade. Just like your parents.” then he shoved her back.
Jade’s hand grasped the edge of the roof as she dangled in the air “What do you mean, my parents?” she growled as she tried desperately to find a foot h0le, but her shoe just kept getting tangled in the hem of her dress.
Cognito smirked “Oh, I never told you?” he leaned towards her “I killed your parents.”
“What!?” Jade froze as she looked up at him “You…”
“Your parents worked for that other agency.” The man said “There was a prize going out to who could solve a case first, A large sum of money. Your parents were getting too close, so I exterminated them.”
“For money?!” Jade stared at the man in disbelief. So that picture that was hanging on the wall in the castle. That young couple… had been her parents!
Henry started pulling at the ropes that held his hands behind his back.
“Why did you even put me on the case?” Jade asked as her feet continued their search for something to push herself up with.
“I needed a good excuse for you to suddenly… die, per say.” Cognito answered “I knew you’d start figuring something was wrong one I retired then suddenly became king. So I had to getrid of you.”
Henry managed to reach into his pocket and pull out a small pocket knife, then he began to saw at the ropes.
Cognito grinned as he took a step closer to the edge “It’s been a pleasure training you.” He raised his foot, ready to bring it down on her hand “Good bye.” Before he had a chance to move, a set of hands grabbed his shoulders and hurled him across the roof.
“Leave her alone.” Henry growled, then he quickly grabbed Jade’s hand and pulled her up “Are you alright?”
“How about asking me that after he’s tied up.” Jade responded as she turned to face the man who was now getting on his feet “Where’s your sidekicks?”
A small door in the roof opened and the seven men came out ready.
“They’re right here.” Cognito smirked.
Jade dropped into a fighting pose “Henry, stay back.”
Henry simply raised an eyebrow.
The seven men attacked and Jade met them head on.
One of them grabbed one of her arms and twisted it behind her back.
“Ow.” She said through gritted teeth as she kicked one of the others.
The man holding her suddenly gro-ned and fell to the ground.
“His head is h-rder than I thought.” Henry smiled as he looked at his fist.
Jade stared at him “Ye-ah.”
“Watch out.” The Prince quickly pushed Jade out of the way then leapt into the air, his feet kicking two of the men in the jaw.
Jade’s eyes w¡dened “You… what!?”
“How about we get rid of these guys now and ask questions later.”
She nodded in agreement, then they both attacked the men. It wasn’t long before they all were laying on the roof unconscious… except for Cognito.
“Where’d he go?” Henry p-nted.
“The chopper!” Jade answered at the machine started to rise in the air “There is no way he’s getting away!”
“Okay.” Henry ran and jumped onto the helicopter and climbed through the door. A few seconds later, Cognito came flying back out and onto the roof.
“I will win!” The man shouted as he pulled out another gun and shot it.
Jade jumped back as the bullet whizzed past her head, knocking off the gem to one of her earrings as it did.
“And I will destroy you!” Another bullet left the gun.
Jade cut several fl¡ps back as one bullet after the next shot, very aware of the fact that they were strikingbarely a centimeter away from her.
Henry landed the chopper back down safely then jumped back to the roof and charged at the gunman.
Cognito spun around to face Henry, an evil grin on his face. In barely a second, he held up the pistol and shot.
The young man froze, his expression completely blank.
Jade’s face paled as her heart plummeted “No!” she cried as she ran forward “Henry!”
