Hello, hello. I've been wanting to write a new story for a while now, and well.. Here I am… with an idea I'm sure you'll like. This is the first chapter, so please review.
I don't own anything.
Please enjoy
(Lots of brakes in the first part because I want you to get a fill of the situation. It will be one of the only times I use the brakes) Alex is a little different in this, he's very Out of original character. That's because *Spoiler alert* he's abused by his guardian (Who doesn't pertain to MI6, SAS, or anything else dealing with his spying)
Oh and the brakes are going back and fourth between two situations that are going on at the same time. I know they start off short, but this is the starter chapter, and those are always a little iffy. So, enjoy.
"Child, I promise when I get my hands on you, you will be sorry for ever trying to leave." I flinch at the shadow of his big body. He's right behind me, and I'm running down the hall of his house. I don't know where I'm going, I just need an escape. I run until the end of the long dark hallway, then I decide to go right. I hear his loud footsteps not to far behind me. I fear that if I turn around he'll be closer than I thought. I have to keep running! I've got to get out of here! Never in my 14 years have I been in this much fear. Not in my year of being a spy have I seen anything as scary! It's horrifying. I use to hear all about it, but never really got the reality of how much this hurts. A knife blazes beside me, hardly skimming my bare arm. I'm in really deep trouble now.

I feel annoyance creep up on my good mood as I enter the bank to find my unit members standing around, apparently waiting for me. I haven't talked to them since Iraq, the bloody happening in Iraq. (Not the British cuss word Bloody, the actual situation was bloody as in human blood.) I bite back a growl as my eyes go down to a troubling glare, making Eagle shiver.
"What is going on here!" I ask loud, bringing all the attention on us. Shark,(Fox's replacement) Snake, and Eagle all look at me as if I've gone crazy, as if I'm a three headed man. "Someone answer me or I'm leaving!" I threaten and finally one, Shark, clears his throat.
"We've been called here because we have an assignment. Together." He says with a bit of annoyance in his voice. Tension fills the air as we stand in the middle of a down town London bank lobby glaring at each other, remembering the past, but yet none daring to bring it up.
A throat clearing makes our heads turn to face a tall dark woman with long brown hair.
"K-Unit I assume?" She asks and we all nod in separate rhythms, she frowns slightly. "Follow me, we have an assignment for you. It's very serious and we have no time to waste." She walks back into the door way and turns back only to get us moving after her, me first of course.
I skid to a stop at the concrete wall in front of me. Dead end. My fear rises, as I finally understand what I've gotten myself into. He's right behind me, he has weapons and he's already mad I tried to leave. I turn around against the wall and shrink into it. I wince as another knife is thrown bounces off the wall above my head. "Do NOT move!" His booming voice surrounds me as if he's everywhere at the same time. I know he's not though. He's just a man, a big man, stronger than me. He hasn't pressed showing me that. I can prove it by the marks on my body. I close my eyes, hoping that it changes something. Maybe when I open them again I'll be at home with an alive Jack eating dinner. I open them when I feel a warm breeze on the top of my head. I jump trying to push myself into the solid wall when I see the dark, devilish figure standing above me looking down on me in a threatening way.
"Boy are you going to get it now." He slaps my cheek hard, but holds me up when I try to fall from impact. "No, your not going anywhere. I give you a home and this is how you repay me? You little inconsiderate brat! Good for nothing child! I would abandon you on the streets but this is way to much fun!" He spits in my face, causing my split lip from list night, to burn. I try to shove against him with the only courage I have left, and earn myself a punch in the eye. Hitting the wall with ten times the force of before he grabs my hair from the roots and pulls me off the ground carrying me to my doom, maybe my death.

I follow the woman in silence, but the others talk together behind me. I see that they've gotten over Iraq fine it seems. There is just something I can't get over. Something I wont tell for the life of me. I am lead into an office on one of the top floors, followed by my unit, who like me, stand awkwardly in front of the long desk. Though there are couches we don't sit down.
"Please do sit, we are waiting for two other people, they should be on their way right as we speak." My unit moves to sit on the couch, but I stay standing.
"I would rather stand." I say, trying not to be to harsh, but I am me, I cant help it. The lady smiles and nods.
"What ever you would like." She says and moves around to the other side of the desk, the one facing us. She gestures to a tray of cups on the table in the corner. "Tea?" I shake my head, and I assume the others do to because no one moves to get anything.
Silence falls down on the room just as the door opens again and an older man walks in with a man I've seen before. Fox follows the man, looking angry.
"I don't see how you could do that to him! Did you know what he was going to be put through when you discharged him?" Fox yells, not even noticing us in the room.
"Of course not! Who do you think we are? Why would we send a child into a situation where he will be put into danger intentionally?" The older man asks, with a sly grin as he walks to the other side of the desk.
"Huh, I wonder why!" Fox says sarcastically, then turns around to notice us. "Fox, do you know why we are here?" I ask and he nods, still angry. "Tell us!"
"You will all find out if you allow us to get started." the room is silent for a second before the older man continues. "I am Mr. Blunt, head of MI6. I have called you all here today because we have assigned you a mission."
"STOP! THAT HURTS!" I yell as tears stream down my face. Laughter fills the silence after my screaming, and I'm faced with another punch, sending me down to the ground. He kicks me in the stomach a couple of times before hauling me up by already hurt arm. He drags my hurt body outside in the cold. He then rips the clothing from my body, leaving me in only boxer shorts. I try to fight him, but a good punch to the stomach stops me. Why do I even try. He laughs as I look up tiredly at him, hopeless in a way.
"Maybe now you'll learn to appreciate what I give you!" He says coldly in a calm voice, and throws me in his dogs house. He then chains me inside beside the mother dog and puppies. "Don't try to get out, because you won't. Maybe if your good I'll come out to get you before morning. I don't want to hear a word, or do I have to get a muzzle?" He threats and I shake my head, the fear finally settling in. "Be good and have a nice night!" He says and leaves the dog house. I'm left alone, cold and hurt. I feel like a mistake, a burden. I feel something move from beside me and look down to see a black and white puppy, the runt of the bunch maybe. She climbs in my lap and I lean into her trying to draw warmth from her fur. I hate my life.

"What is this mission?" I ask skeptically, wondering what they are going to make us to. Anything's better than going back to Iraq.
"We know of an abused child that needs our help. We have located him, but we need evidence that his guardian is abusing him. I need your help to retrieve not only the evidence, but him also." Mr. Blunt says.
"Why us? Why not any other unit?" Snake asks from the couch and Fox's face hardens at Mr. Blunt, showing that he knows more than us. "You all know this child." He gestures to a picture that is appearing on the screen behind him. "he trained with you a while back for a few days. His name is Alex Rider, but you know him as Cub."
Please review! I know there were a lot of breaks and i'm sorry. But please review, this is only the starter chapter. So please should i continue!
