Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Shadow Clovers. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Totally spies, Vincent, David Michel and a few others do.

Umbra, the rest of Shadow Squad, and Clover, Sam, and Alex sat in the WOOPH jet. Catherine Roji sat in the back of the jet as he turned to Jerry.

Jerry projected from a hologram in the middle of the jet. Umbra sat cross-legged in his chair.

"So why does CCC want this girl so badly?" Umbra questioned and turned to Sam. "I've never seen them try to hunt someone down like this. They sent a small army to try and kill her." Umbra put in which made Jerry hum.

"Well according to French authorities?" Jerry added which made Umbra turn back to the hologram. "They vanished despite taking a few losses." Jerry put in as Umbra sighed and crossed his arms.

"Just like CCC." Umbra responded and rubbed at his temples. "Maximum damage, minimum footprint. Their already long gone by now. I really want to know why they sent so many troops after one person." Umbra said which made Jerry chuckle.

"Leave that to the professionals." Jerry put in as he hummed and brushed off his suit. "Just return Ms. Roji back to base. We have a team returning her back to safety… Spies, how was your first joint operation?" Jerry questioned before Umbra stood up to walk to the door.

Umbra looked out at the night sky. Jerry turned to the new WOOPH agent.

"You know they aren't going to stop so easily, right?" Umbra asked before he turned to Jerry. "I've seen Umbra. If they want someone dead? Then they won't stop until they waste all their resources… Or they bury that person." Umbra said and crossed his arms.

Jerry said nothing, but Sam turned back and cleared her throat.

"That was a good first mission." Sam put in and turned to Umbra. "But we need to work together more." Sam added as Umbra turned to look at the spy.

"I apologize for not working to the best of my ability." Umbra responded while sighing and dusting off his arms. "We aren't exactly… Used to dealing with other teams and such. Your going to have to show us the spy ropes." Umbra put in and hummed with amusement.

Umbra cracked his fingers and then unsealed his helmet. Ray brushed his fingers through his hair.

"So, we return the girl to HQ…" Ray put in and then took his seat once more. "Then what? CCC is going to get to her if she goes public. Trust me, I've seen a few officials vanish off the face of the Earth." Ray stated with sheer annoyance.

Jerry turned to Sam.

"I'll let Sam walk you through things." Jerry responded to Ray. "I'll deal with checking for information on CCC at the moment. I need you to go underground for now and return Ms. Roji back to our headquarters." Jerry put in and then vanished.

Ray turned to Clover and then took off his armor's helmet before putting it next to him.

"This isn't exactly going to be easy." Ray put in and sighed. "I cannot believe they wanted someone dead so much. It's like seeing sharks try and rip someone apart. I almost don't think it's possible to stop an army of agents." Ray stated which made Oni chuckle.

Ray turned to his friend who raised an eyebrow.

"We stopped CCC before, Ray." Oni said and turned to look at Alex. "Now we have friends and I'm sure we're have new tech. CCC is cocky and arrogant, they always think they can take everyone on and win. We've handled them before, and we're handle them now." Oni stated which made Ray roll his eyes and then hum.

"They weren't trying to kill us so well." Ray put in and shook his head from side to side. "Now they're throwing armies at us, Oni. I know for a fact that they haven't sent their worst after us yet." Ray said while rubbing at his temples.

He hadn't a clue what CCC wanted the VIP dead for. But he planned on finding out who was behind this operation.

"Jerry is right about one thing." Ray said to Sam. "We need to lay low. These suits need to be refueled; we need time to rest. We go back to the Phoenix hotel? Their be there and find out who we are." Ray said which caused Clover to roll her eyes.

"Jerry probably has some place safe for us to head to." Clover said for the first time since they boarded the plane. "I'm sure he already handled things since we got on the plane. Trust me, Jer always has this handled by now." Clover added which made Ray roll his eyes.

Their plane continued towards the WOOHP base. Ray was entirely happy to get back and rest. Being a hero was fine, but it didn't compare to sleeping and such.
