Chapter 1

New kid

The late August breeze combed through Alex's shaggy blonde hair, he sat alone on the old park bench watching the kids play;he knew how sketchy he must look but he was too stressed to care. He was waiting for a girl who had been "relocated" to MI6 after she "messed up" with the CIA, he shivered remembering the conversation he had with Mrs. Jones in that same cold office which he had been in many times before. He knew she was young, he just didn't know how young after all they barely gave him her name and only her first. He had seen a picture of her but it was very bad quality and only so he didn't take a random girl home which would not be good. Alex didn't want to be here even though his "happy" life depended on it. But he had no say in it at all, in fact he didn't have a say in anything anymore,not what he did,not where he was or where he was headed since Ian died and even less since Jack died. After Egypt he had moved with Sabina and her parents in America, but that wasn't working well for anyone. He was suicidal, Sabina and her parents couldn't stand to see him like that. The CIA didn't want him anywhere near them if he wasn't going to work for them, and MI6 needed him for things only he could do. They worked out a place for him to stay till he was old enough to be on his own. To Alex's terror the only person who could help protect him who wasn't too "busy" was Wolf, but to both of their surprise they had had pretty good times so far, but he still didn't want a little girl around rowdy SAS soldiers.

"Hello" a girl said snapping Alex out of his thoughts and back to reality. He stared at her, she was young, really young she couldn't be older than thirteen. She had dark brown hair almost black it was bright red underneath and at the tips. She was very tan, it was obvious that she was Italian. She was wearing a denim strapless romper you could tell she got at the thrift store for 5 bucks, it had white decorative stitching, her black one star converse were very beat up and she had bright neon socks that were barely poking out of her shoes. She stood at a slight tilt, like she was favoring her right leg but she was trying to hide it. Nothing could be hidden from alex, he had been through too much, he could tell what people were thinking at first glance. He didn't know word for word though, he was no Edward Cullen, thank god.

"You must be Alex, I'm Edyn. like the garden of Eden but with a y." she smiled

"So are you like 13? or what"

"Well, I'm almost 13"Edyn said, she looked to mature to only be 12, she had seen too much been through too much. Her face said she was more around 18, but they both knew she wasn't even close.

"So, how did you get mixed up in all this shit?"

"Classified"

"Oh" Alex mumbled he could tell she was still mad about everything, like he was when it all started. The truth is that he secretly loved it, he loved the rush he got, the places he got to go for free, he loved the feeling that he got from saving people's lives; killing people didn't even bug him much any more as long as it was for a good reason.

"Well is this it?" he said glancing at the bag she had dropped, his eyes scanned her and stopped on the black metal flashlight she held in her left hand. She gripped it tight as if she cared more about it than her bag.

"Yep" she said dull-fully

"whats that?" alex said pointing to the flashlight

"a flashlight" she said as if she was talking to a small child

"Come on then" Alex said motioning towards his car not knowing what to say back do he just started walking, she quickly followed

"So umm, do you want me to drive, you look super tired?" she asked sympathetically

"Your 12" Alex told her

"So?" Edyn asked

"Being 4 years older than you I think I should drive." Alex said

"I can drive though." Edyn whined

"Oh I'm sure you can. I could at your age, but I just think that it would be better if I drive." Alex said

"You would just have to tell me where to go, I have a fake I.d. If a cop saw me and pulled us over." Edyn argued

"I have a real one and a fake one. But thats off subject, what cop would believe you are 16?" Alex asked

"Why do you need a fake one if you have a real one though?" Edyn mumbled

"I asked a question" alex said

"So did I" Edyn fought

"To buy beer or go to bars." Alex said with a straight face

"The cops dont see how tall I am, they just see my face, my height gives away my age, if i was taller how old would I look?" she asked

"Older than me" he answered

"Exactly" she smiled

"You're pretty chill" she comprehended

"Chill?" Alex asked not understand the American "slang"

"I like you" Edyn grinned dragging out the word "you"


"Here we are"Alex said glad to get out of the car; no one had said anything the whole way home. They both walked up to the door quite quickly hoping it wouldn't be so awkward inside.

"Welcome home" Alex grinned as he opened the door.

Edyn stepped inside slowly, the walls were a pale blue with white trim around the doorways and white baseboards she was looking down a long hallway. To her left there was a long brown table pushed up to a wall and right against a doorway there was a vase with fake flowers a few picture frames with a bunch of SAS soldiers in them, there was a shallow black bowl with keys and a bit of money in it.

"I'll give you the grand tour before the guys get back." Alex grinned "To your left is the family room." he said pointing at a room with two couches a chair a coffee table and a TV. "That is the front room." he said pointing at the room across the hall with a couch a few chairs and a fire-place. "Those are stairs, and up them Wolf's room is the one on the far right, mine is the far left and yours is the middle. There is a bathroom at the end of the hall but you won't need to use it, you have a bathroom attached to your room. Oh and don't go in Wolf's room, he hates that." he explained "That is a bathroom" he pointed at the room across from the stairs. "Straight back is the kitchen" he said walking to the door at the back of the kitchen. "It also leads into the family room" he said pushing the swinging door open. "This is the laundry room and those glass doors go to the backyard, oh and that door" he said pointing at the door on the left next to a gun safe "goes to the basement;we mostly shoot our guns down there, its great practice and its way fun." he smiled

"So you can go do whatever you want, I don't really care just be back by like 10:30 and tell me if you get pulled in by MI6, please." Alex explained wondering if he should pay more attention to her, she was only 12 but he could take care of himself at that age, but he didn't know about her.

"The guys are gonna be back soon so we will probably get dinner then. You eat meat right?" Alex questioned

"Duh, only freaks don't eat meat." Edyn was interrupted by 4 yelling men bursting though the front door. Alex pulled himself up onto the counter and motioned for Edyn to sit too. She slowly pulled herself up too, watching the men make their way to the kitchen still yelling at each other about some football (soccer) game.

"The ball went in the goal!" wolf yelled "The ref was just for Newcastle, Chelsea didn't have a chance!" he finished

"I agree" Fox and Eagle said at the same time.

"Fu..." snake was cut off by the blank stares of the rest of K unit they were looking at something behind him. He slowly reached for his gun not knowing what he would see when he turned around, but he never expected to see a little girl sitting next to Alex.

"Cub, this is not legal she is like 10 even if you're not over 18 you can get in huge trouble." Fox whispered in Alex's ear

"Ha ha, no this is Edyn she is from MI6 and she is living with us, also she is 12." Alex smiled all 4 men looked at her like they had never seen a girl before.

"Oh!" wolf gasped "They did say something about you, I didn't really listen, I didn't think the were serious."

"Well, we have dinner!" Eagle yelled, dumping the bag of Chinese onto the table. "Dig in!" they all grabbed way too much food there was no way any of them could finish any of it, but no one really cared. They finished dinner in less than 10 minutes.

"Have you been to MI6 yet?" Wolf asked

"No" Edyn replied finishing her drink

"Well we better get you there then, just so they know your here and safe." Wolf replied. they were pulling up in front of the royal and general bank sooner than Edyn had hoped, she was scared out of her mind but she didn't show it, she seemed calm and perfect and usual. They dropped Alex and Edyn off in front and parked the car waiting there, none of them wanted to go in, they all had made up excuses in their heads but none of them had to use them.

"Its going to be fine." Alex said putting his arm around her, he wasn't sure if he even believed his own words.

"I know." Edyn said faking a smile and breaking away from Alex's strong-arm. She took a deep breath and stepped through the doors, she felt like she was going to see Saint Peter, to see if she was going to heaven or hell, but she had no clue where she was going or for how long.
