Disclaimer: Alpha force and all its rights belong to Chris Ryan, I do own the story line though. And the random fact idea comes from Myrah, not mine either, but I wanted to write some weird facts in.

Yeah, so, I've decided to write an Alpha force story, partly to cure writers block from some of my other stories. I should really be writing my Maximum Ride one, but, I don't have a clue what's going to happen. Anyway, I like the books a lot, and wanted to try and write my own story. Hope you enjoy.

Random Fact#1: Lemmings actually burrow under the snow, and so they can't see where they're going, or where cliffs stop, so they burrow right on, and then fall off cliffs. They are not suicidal.

Alex sat looking at his computer, he wasn't a big fan of the thing, but he sat, with his mouth wide open as he re-read the email. It was from his father, and it said he'd got leave, and was coming to visit Alex in America, where he was visiting his friend, Amber. That was, of course, brilliant, Alex loved his dad, but he couldn't tell his dad about what his friends did, and being a holiday, they would probably be up to something.

The email said that Alex's dad had sorted it all out with Amber's uncle, and he'd probably be on the plane now. But his father didn't know that Alex, Amber, and three other friends were Alpha force, a group who went to disaster areas, and helped out scientists, carrying on the work that Amber's parents had been doing before thy died. Not that his father would really see anything wrong with doing that, but it was also dangerous, and sometimes a little illegal. His father worked for the SAS for goodness sake. He couldn't really do illegal.

"Come on Alex, I need to use the computer." Called Hex from outside the door, as if Alex had been using the bathroom for too long. Hex's was the third member of Alpha force, and he probably did need computers like bodily functions. He was an expert hacker, and code breaker, and before he had joined Alpha force, he had spent more time on the web than in the real world.

"Come in." called Alex, laughing as Hex made a beeline for the second computer in the room, sitting down at it, and looking at it desperately as he waited for it to boot up. He shot Alex what would have been a quick glance, but then he saw the expression on his friend's face.

"What happened, emailed a ghost?" asked Hex, turning back to the computer as it let off the little loading up jingle, and began to tap the keyboard quickly.

"My dad's coming up to visit, us, here." said Alex. That managed to get Hex to look up from the computer.

"No," he breathed, "But, he'll find out."

"No he won't." said Alex. "We'll just make it look like we're having an adventure holiday or something. Then we accidentally keep stepping onto stuff."

"Ok, but mate, it won't work." Hex said.

"Come on, he fell for the general being a good guy, rather than an evil drugs baron murderer." Alex said "Why fear?" Hex rolled his eyes.

"If you say so, but he's smart, he's in the SAS."

"Don't remind me."

ALPHA

Alex, Li, Paulo, Hex and Amber all sat together in Amber's living room. They were all together now, all of Alpha force.

"What time does he get here then?" asked Amber. Alex's phone beeped, and he picked it up, and looked at it.

"Now." he said. The doorbell rang.

"Come back here!" yelled Li, who had not been listening at all, and had been having a pillow fight with Paulo, who was now fleeing the room, jumped out, and ran after him, accidentally hitting Hex on the head with the pillow.

"You are so dead." Hex yelled out after her, and picked up a pillow, running out after them, but only once he'd given Amber a nice whack with it, his green eyes twinkling mischievously. She picked another pillow up, and ran out after him. Alex shook his head, and followed, not being able to stop laughing.

He found them in the main hall, Li and Paulo whacking each other with the pillows for all they were worth, Hex and Amber treating it like a sword fight, and out in the hallway, a man standing in the doorframe, next to the butler, laughing.

"Dad!" Alex called, running up to him.

"Hey ugly." The man grinned.

"How are you, old man?" Alex grinned back. The others were happily still going at the pillow fight.

"These are the friends who are into extreme sports?" asked Alex's dad.

"Um, yeah." Alex nodded. He pointed to Amber, tall, and black, dressed in pink. "That's Amber." Then he pointed to Hex, bright green eyes, pale skin, and brown hair, dressed in a plain black t-shirt and jeans "Hex," then Paulo, with his Argentinean good looks, dressed in a pale blue shirt, and cords "Paulo," Then he pointed to Li, small and Chinese, dressed in red, "Li."

"Well, I'm sure they're wonderful." Said his dad, grinning as he watched Amber knock Hex to the floor, and Li do the same to Paulo. Hex caught sight of Alex's dad, and waved before going back to hitting Amber, but from the floor now.

About five minutes later, they stopped the pillow fight, and went up to greet Alex's dad. They all shook his hand, and then Amber took him to the living room. They all sat down, and a butler came in with some drinks.

"So, are you into pillow fights?" asked Alex's dad.

"Well, abseiling is more my thing, but pillow fights with these guys can be extreme enough for me." Li grinned.

"Prefer computers myself, much better company than people." Hex said, in his usual anti-social way, and Amber dumped her cup of water over his head for it. Hex was un-phased, and just pointed to her, saying, "See."

"What about cows?" said Paulo. "No, you wouldn't like them, they have a habit of chasing you." He was referring to their last trip to his ranch, where Hex had been chased around the ranch by a cow, and everyone had been to busy laughing to help him.

Hex glared, and brought out his palm top from it's place in his belt, beginning to type quickly one it, presumably hacking into some secure sight to calm himself down.

"Nice computer," Alex's father stated.

"Thanks." Said Hex, just as the palm top beeped. He typed a little more, and then raised his eyebrow, but made it too subtle for anyone to notice it, unless you knew Hex well, like Alex did.

"Ok guys, I'm gonna go get changed, and freshen up." Alex's dad said. Alpha force all grinned, and waved goodbye. He left the room. As soon as the door was closed, Hex leaned forwards.

"John's got something for us." He said, grinning. John Middleton was Amber's uncle, the guy who organised everything for them. Their anchor man.

"Where?" said Amber, leaning forwards as well.

"Guess." Said Hex.

"How? Could be anywhere in the world." Li said.

"Well, it's somewhere there's a disaster." Hex smiled, enjoying the fact he'd got them guessing.

"Quick," called Amber, "Alex, turn on the tv, and put it on News 24." Alex did so, and they watched the news for a few minutes.

"There has been an earthquake in Iran,"

"Is that it?" asked Amber. Hex shook his head.

"There are rumours of a huge, new, drugs baron in New Zealand."

"What about that?" Li asked. Hex shook his head again.

"In Florida, there's been hurricane?"

"It has to be that." Said Paulo.

"And surprising everyone, in North Yorkshire, some mysterious disappearings are happening. Our correspondent-"

"It's that, isn't it?" said Alex. Hex nodded, and grinned,

"At least, that's where we're going."

"But we're not going because of the disappearings?" asked Paulo. Hex shook his head.

"Actually, no. We're going for a training exercise, but, I reckon we should at leaat take a look at the disappearings."

"How did you know it'd be on the news, if we're not going because of that?" asked Amber.

"I have an, err, acquaintance on News 24." Hex admitted, "I just asked him if anything was happening in North Yorkshire."

"Ok, man, that rocks." Li said, high-fiving Paulo, "We get a total new adventure, and some abseiling." She smiled.

ALPHA

Alex knocked on the door, and entered his father's room.

"Hey, old man," he smiled.

"Hey, ugly." His father smiled back. "What do you want?"

"Who says that I want anything?" asked Alex.

"Because if you didn't, you'd be having a pillow fight with your friends." His father smiled.

"Well, yeah. The thing is, tomorrow we're going to North Yorkshire for an adventure holiday."

"You forgot to mention this?"

"No, it's a recent addition to plans." Alex said.

"That's ok, it'll be fun, I like adventure holidays and stuff." Smiled his dad.

"Cool, I'm looking forward to having you there." Alex smiled back. "Night."

He closed the door as he went out into the corridor, and then hit his head on the wall a few times. How the hell was he going to hide Alpha force from his dad, if his dad was on the mission too.

He hit his head one more time, and then left to go back to the room he was sharing with Paulo, and he wondered to himself how Hex always managed to get a room to himself, when Paulo snored so loudly.

Ok, so there's chapter one. I personally don't think it's long enough, but it seemed a good place to end the chapter What do you think? Do you like it? Do you hate it? Whatever, just please review. I like to get insight on my writing. I'll try and get Chapter 2 up tomorrow. Anyway, bye for now, and would you please press the little bluey/grey,purpley button, and review.
