Operation: Trust
Chapter One: Going Back
Disclaimer: I don not own Alex Rider no matter how much I wished I did.
Royal and General Bank, Liverpool Street at 8:32 AM
Alex Rider was anything, but normal, but if your reading this you already knew that. From the plane crash that killed his parents to the bullet that nearly killed him, his entire life has been a web filled with deception and lies.
That's what Alex had been thinking of when he stepped into the elevator that took him to the off of doom, but better known as the office of Alan Blunt, head of MI6. Alex stared at the man with his haunted eyes, before unceremoniously setting himself down in a chair.
Mrs. Jones had to resist the temptation to break her emotionless mask. She had seen Agents like this a lot, yes, but Alex was also only 15 years old. She knew in her heart that what they had done was right, but she couldn't help but feel a stab of guilt looking at his broken eyes and posture of a person who had given up.
"Alex as it has come to our recent attention," Blunt started his monotonous voice dragging on and on until Alex slammed his fist on the table cutting him off.
"Cut to the chase Blunt," he snarled. "They're dead, I... Get… It" he said emphasizing each word. In his mind he could still see the scene. Edward and Elizabeth Pleasure motionless in their blood. Sabina's eyes unforgiving as she glared at him, yelling at him that it was his fault, and it was his fault, the snipers only wanted him. Sabina had moved in with her grandparents and he was not wanted. He shook the terrible memories out of his head and returned to glaring at Blunt.
"Alright, Alex," Blunt said not a bit scared, just annoyed. "Black Phoenix is an organization that was made from SCORPIA agents. After SCORPIA fell they formed. Of course, their primary goal is to take care of you," Alex's eyes narrowed, so that was who killed his foster parents. "Until then we will be putting you in a secure location,"
"Where are you putting me?" Alex asked glancing at Mrs. Jones who was ignoring him, sucking on a peppermint.
"Brecon Beacons," Blunt said simply and Alex resisted the urge to groan like a child. "We will be sending another agent with you,"
"Who?" Alex asked suspiciously. Mrs. Jones let a tiny smile appear on her lips, but a smile none the less.
"Ben Daniels," she said softly and held back her laughter as Alex's face lit up.
"When will he be here?" Alex asked, forgetting the entire manner of having to go to Wales.
"I'm already here," said a voice drifting in from the open doorway. Ben's dark eyes glinted mischievously. "I didn't know you would be so glad to see me," he said in a light teasing tone,
Alex shrugged "It was more about how long until I would have to deal with you and your annoyingness," he said coolly.
Mrs. Jones felt the guilt lessen a bit; Alex seemed much younger around Ben. The eyes brightened a bit and became less serious. Alex trusted Ben more then anyone, even if he didn't know that.
Ben gave the young spy a hug. "Well I missed you," he said honestly. Alex returned the hug without hesitation.
"So you're going with me." Alex stated with a grin.
Ben nodded "Yep, I'll get to see the guys again, it's been a while and it will be nice to catch up with them," he said.
"Well then shall we?" Alex asked picking up his back pack and offering Ben his arm.
The older spy responded with a light laugh and looped his arm around Alex's "We shall," he said and together they made their way to the black car waiting for them.
Brecon Beacons, Wales at 9:48 AM
Wolf stood in the Sergeants hut nervously. He had suddenly been called in without warning. As the Sergeant strolled in he immediately stood at attention.
"At ease, soldier!" the Sergeant barked and Wolf immediately complied. The Sergeant rubbed his temples as he sat down at his desk. "'6 just called me," he stated.
Wolf had to bite down his questions. He desperately wanted to know, what this had to do with him and his unit. Did Eagle do something that disturbed even the heads? Then it hit him, Panther! The fourth team member that had replaced Fox had been kidnapped two weeks ago with Jaguar and a nurse.
Sergeant sighed "We still haven't received any word from how the search is going," he said answering the unspoken question. Wolf felt a stab of disappointment, but was careful not to show it on his face. "But we do know that Fox and another person is coming back and joining your unit," he said.
Wolf grinned. Fox was coming back! He wondered who the other person was, though. Maybe it was another agent or something.
"I'm giving K-Unit a day off, DISMISSED!" Sergeant said and Wolf quickly walked out of the hut. He sprinted all the way to K-Unit's hut and ran in. His unit was getting ready for the activities for today.
"Change of plans," he said with a smirk "We have a day off and Fox is coming back,"
