[ATTENTION]
Hello, friends. I've revised the plot on 03/01/2013. So if you've read MM before that date, I recommend you to re-read it.
Thanks a lot for your beta, Anonomon13! *hug* :D
So, this story is inspired from... Short Message Service aka text messages. I'm a huge fan of angst story. I put Wolf/Alex family and Jack is already died. THERE'S NO SLASH, FOR SURE.
Enjoy reading, sorry for mistakes and RnR please!

Cub, we've been sent on a new mission. Ben is joining us again. And we have a new member named Owl. He is same as Eagle—with his hyperactive personality, but Owl is more... rational than Eagle. He's an expert in Morse and semaphore. You must meet him Cub! Come with us and reply ASAP!

Sorry Cub, I've been so busy last month. You know, Chelsea vs. Manchester United 2-1. They're such a great team. YOU MISSED 'EM! WHY DON'T YOU COME WITH ME? Reply, kiddo.

I'm visiting Mrs. Jones. She has a... ah, fever. I took Snake along with me. I think Mrs. Jones has a lack of sleep. She's been tired working with MI6. Hey, kiddo! Why don't you reply to my texts?

Cub, I have the flu. It's boring. Staying at home, watching TV, and rolling over the programs with no one here. Snake and Eagle have been deployed on a mission for several days. Ben? Buried in paperwork, I'm sure. I remember the time when you were sitting on my coach, and we watched National Geographic alone, or some action movie, with a bucket of popcorn. Cub, reply to this. And come home.

Cub, I'm tired of typing these messages. I KNOW YOU'LL COME! You'll stand in front of my door, grinning at me, and saying sorry because you're late for dinner.

I'm trying to cook spaghetti, but it's not going well. I'm not an expert in cooking, so you can laugh at me. But don't worry, I've ordered some pizzas and your favorite Coke. Please reply.

We're having a reunion at my apartment. Owl is amazed by your photo, when you were still a cute child. But then I felt some emptiness. I don't know why. Snake warned me not to text you, but I don't care, I know you still exist!

I don't like Halloween, seriously. It's spooky. I'm reading some good novels here. I found a Holy Bible in your room, but I think it isn't yours? So... whose? Maybe Jack's or... Ian's? Or Helen's? Or John's? Or Snake's? Or Eagle's? Or Fox's? Or Owl's? Dunno, but I read it. I've changed better than before. I don't swearing anymore. You know kid; I'm not a very religious man... but...

Cub, next week is Christmas. Snake wants to buy a Christmas tree, but he's sure that Eagle will break it again, like he did last year. Do you want anything for Christmas? Mrs. Jones visits us sometimes, and she said that she'll resign from MI6. I'm glad with that. What about you?

Look outside, Cub. It's snowy. I bought a little teddy bear. I don't know why. I'm supposed to buy something useful for ya. But... I'm thinking about your childhood. Did you have a nice childhood? So, I'll put it on your bed, and in the morning, I know you'll open my gift.

Cub, I feel desperate. I feel dizzy. When will you come? Snake said it's IMPOSSIBLE. Ha-ha-ha-ha, I know he's kidding. You WILL come home, right?

New Year, Cub. I give up. You're already dead. But somehow, I don't want to lose you.
I feel sorry for everything I did. Calling you those nicknames, hurting you, and... the last... I couldn't help you get out from the burning buildings. Kid, it's hard for me to forget the past. Even I still remember your scream. Fire covered your entire body, and you disappeared from my vision. Sorry Cub. Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! I'm not a good friend for you.
I'm not a good father, even it is the fourth year I adopt you.
Cub, on your funeral, I couldn't cry. Do you know why? Cause I'm too sad. I'm very depressed. I feel alone without my little Alex Rider.
Cub, I can't give you love and hug you anymore... but I know, God loves you more than I ever did.
Happy New Year. I will start my new life. No, I won't forget you, but I will stand up and face life wisely.
Thanks Cub. Thanks for all time we shared together. Thanks for your emotionless face and your nightmare, that keep me awake at the night. Thanks for all your angry and your sadness. Thanks for you ignorance. Without realizing it, you taught me one thing: patience.
With love from Brecon Beacons, the most handsome father of Alex Rider (just kiddin' John),
Wolf.
