David McCathy stared at the woman behind the desk. He had a weird sense of déjà vu here. 8 years after his first time in the office of Alan Blunt, the head of MI6, he found himself back again, to find that Tulip Jones was now the head. It better not be for round 2 of what happened last time, he couldn't handle that again…
He was currently seated behind the desk, waiting for 3 people to turn up. He hadn't been told who they were, just that they would be coming.
The first person to come was a medium-height, dark brown haired man with muscles. He looked tired, and barely spoke.
The second was a tallish man with chestnut/red hair and brown eyes, also with muscles, but less noticeable. He also looked tired, the purple bags under his eyes more evident on his paler skin.
The third and last person to come was a tall man, with crystal blue eyes and brown hair that was short and wavy on the top of his head. He still looked tired, yet his charismatic eyes sparkled unlike the other two's, and he tried to put on a smile. Inside, he might ache, painfully, but outside you could never see anything had happened to this man.
But things had. Things that he didn't think would happen when he signed up for his job.
Yes, the 3 men that entered were SAS soldiers and ex k-unit members Wolf, Fox and Eagle.
EX K-unit members.
They had tried to keep their unit together, training for an extended 2 months, but they failed.
Wolf stayed on at the SAS and became the leader of the newly created X-Unit when k-unit disappeared, and became a legendry soldier in Iraq. Fox decided to just go to MI6, and became one of their best agents. Snake became the head medic in Afghanistan, after spending 8 months in the field there. Eagle spent a year in the fire brigade, before deciding that it was just too low profile for him, and therefore re-joined to the normal army. After that he switched to the Navy and became the captain of the S., a great military battle ship.
The legendry K-Unit, broken down and spread about.
And now, after not seeing each other since their reunion, roughly 4 years ago, they were all in one place. A place that brought back so many memories, ones they had tried to erase from their memories. The last thing they all thought before they fell asleep; the first thing they think about in the morning.
Their ultimate failure. A loss so great and wounding that none of them ever got over it.
Alexander Jonathon Rider.
"K-Unit. Welcome to MI6. I'm Tulip Jones, the head if you didn't know. I trust you are all well?" she said, startling them all from their deep and seemingly dark thoughts.
They all nodded and didn't speak.
"Gentlemen, I have some rather unsettling news for you. But first, there is a mission that we think you would be perfectly suited for."
Snake spoke up. "Mrs Jones, with all due respect, why do you think that an old SAS unit that hasn't been operational for 7 and a half years is going to successfully complete a mission?" he had a bitter edge to his voice.
"What Snake means, is why would you re-unite us and make us go on a mission together when you can just use a unit that is currently fully operational and waiting for missions?" Eagle piped in.
"Well, that's just the thing. I am bringing back an old unit, re-uniting once best friends soldiers and sending you on a mission together because of what the mission is about." She replied, still not giving anything away.
"And what is it about?" Wolf asked impatiently.
"Brace yourselves gentlemen." She said, and Fox really wanted to strangle her right now.
"Alex Rider isn't dead."
can you tell me what you think?:)
