Chapter One
Alex kicked the door of Wolf's apartment open, and stormed inside, the packet from the chemist clutched in one hand, and his school bag slung over the other shoulder. Inside, he found the K Unit SAS soldiers busy playing, of all things, Monopoly.
"WOLF!" whined Snake. "You can't just give yourself one thousand pounds from the bank!"
"Yes I can," the K Unit leader replied. "I just storm the bank and rob it, like this." He took another one thousand pounds.
"Are you seriously the very people meant to defend our country?" asked Alex, staring at the soldiers.
"Cub?!" exclaimed Eagle, leaping to his feet. "Aren't you meant to be at school?" he asked, frowning.
"Got sent home," grumbled Alex.
"Who'd you kill?"
"I killed no one!" exclaimed Alex, glaring at Eagle. "I might ask just how you got out of jail, though."
"Breakout. See? I kill the jail guards, and break out!"
"Right," Alex replied slowly.
"Anyway," Fox replied brightly, leaping over and dragging Alex to the couch. "So, how'd you get outta school?"
"Um. Head lice."
There was silence, but only for a few minutes. After that precise amount of time, the members of K Unit jumped away from Alex, and stared at him.
"You have head lice?" asked Fox. "Oh Lord."
Ignoring Fox, Wolf frowned at Alex, and asked, rather slowly, "So what does this mean, seeing as I'm your temporary guardian, and whatnot?"
Briefly, Alex replied that, a) he couldn't go to school until the head lice was eradicated, and b) the school nurse had given him the medication. When he said the latter, he waved the chemist packet about. Wolf then snatched from him, and read the instructions printed ever so helpfully on it, whilst Alex grumbled under his breath and sank into the couch.
"Okay," said Wolf, instantly slipping into 'SAS-Leader' mode. "Fox, Snake and Eagle, I want you to…Okay, one minute." Wolf frowned for several seconds before developing a battle plan. "Fox, you start combing through Cub's hair with this." Wolf held up the head lice comb. "Eagle, grab the gloves from the first aid box. Actually, Snake, Fox, get the gloves first, before you do your jobs. Snake, your job will be to strip down Cub's bed, and stuff them into the washing machine. I'll," Wolf grimaced, "start on this medication."
K Unit nodded their heads, quite seriously. Alex stared at them, and, in a rather stunned tone, remarked, "You're being extremely serious about this, aren't you?"
"This is war, Cub."
A/N: Inspired by my own struggles with the (censored) vermin. XD Um, my other AR fic, Revenge in Dramatic Form, will probably have four sequels, in what will probably be a bit of a series, but I'm focusing on this one first. Second chapter typed, probably up within a week. Review, please, and I'll see you next week!
