"Go pack your bags, we must go now."

Alexander Hale showed up at Ben Ripley's house one day and announces that he is a top secret spy and is recruiting Ben. He says to Ben, "Go pack your bags, we're going to a top secret spy school that your parents will know as a high class science academy. From what we've seen in records being taken you fit the job. We must go now."

Ben questions going with him then remembers his lifelong dream of becoming a spy. With many questions still in his mind, he absentmindedly leaves with Alexander Hale.

When Ben arrives to the school they are under attack, he has to improvise to save himself he runs into a girl Erica after awhile of unsuccessfully fighting for himself. She helps him to safety and ends up in the principals office. Turns out the whole attack was a test called the SACSA. Ben failed the test.

In the middle of the night Ben hears a noise and wakes up. An assassin has entered his room, asking about Pinwheel. He has no idea what the assassin is talking about so he goes with the flow hoping to save himself until he can find a way to defeat the assassin.

Erica comes to Ben's new room the night after the attack to talk to him about the whole situation, and that is when Ben realizes that he was only brought in as bait for an enemy agent that has infiltrated the school. He's really upset about his findings, but when Eric offers for him to help her to find the mole he becomes interested in staying and proving himself, as well as being able to spend some more time with Erica.

The next day everyone is playing capture the flag. During the game Ben notices Chip and Hauser slipping away to somewhere under the school. Ben found this very suspicious. So, he takes action and leaves the game to go investigate.

What he finds as he secretly follows Chip and Hauser down to an underground level, is the two of them looking at something that seems to be a bomb.
