After the plane from America had landed on the island called Mallorca, a young man stepped off who appeared to be looking for something. He wore old brown pants, worn through at the knees and a simple blue shirt. He was tall and dragged his feet a little as he put on his Ray-Ban Aviators. He slowly made his way towards a sign that read: A O'Connell being held by a very short man wearing a cap with the brim bent up. His pants must have been from his childhood because they only went to the middle of his shins.

'Señor Alec?' he asked hopefully

'Alex' reassured the young O'Connell shaking the little man's hand

'My name is Jovi, we spoke on the phone yes? I am your driver and guide but now that you are here we must hurry for Mr Sanchez is waiting.'

'Excellent'

The small fellow led the taller one to his car and Alex raised his eye brows in surprise. It was a bright blue rust that looked like it had been through a blender.

'Oh, don't judge her by her looks, Señor, she's not pretty but she'll get the miles done.'

Alex wasn't convinced but he trusted Jovi's statement. He took Alex's suitcase and put it in the back allowing his traveller to relax in the front. Alex moved around to the other side of the car to the passenger's seat door. He pulled on the handle but it didn't budge.

'Oh Señor you got the dodgy door you have to lift it then pull because the locks' bust.'

Alex did just as he said and the door opened with ease. But before he got into the car something caught his eye. Alex looked up and saw a beautiful young woman with eyes an forgettable blue like the seas glistening in the sunlight. She wore black high heels, stockings and waist high skirt that fell just above her knee. Her white shirt made a V at the neck and the sleeves were pulled to her elbows. She felt Alex's stare and met his eye with hers but she looked away instantly. Alex smirked as he got into the car.

The streets were packed with horses, people and other cars making it impossible to move. Many of the villagers and inhabitants that lived near the airport had small food stalls and were coming over to Jovi's car holding different items that they might want.

'Is it always this crowded?' asked Alex

'Well this is Spain señor and when on a small island like this it would have to be. But don't you worry; Jovi's got your back. We'll take the back roads that lead towards the mountains.'

Alex nodded with satisfaction pushing his sunglasses back into place. The crowd thinned, allowing them to pass through onto an old dirt road heading for the town of Sòller.

Suddenly a gun shot rang out hitting Alex in the shoulder. He winced, clutching it with his other hand.

'Friends of yours, señor?' Jovi said alarmed

'I don't have that many friends, especially in Spain, so I suggest you step on it.'

'Gladly señor.'

Alex looked in his rear view mirror to see who exactly was trying to kill him. Two well built men sat in the front of the opposing vehicle and there was another figure in the back, which Alex couldn't see. One of the men had a machine gun that obviously shot Alex and had his head out of the window ready to take another shot. Alex quickly fumbled around for his rifle and did the same. Seeing that his target was exposed the man fired again just missing Alex's head. Alex only needed one shot which he used hitting his opponent square in the chest.

'Ooh, great shot señor' squealed Jovi who was getting excited now.

Alex got back into the car facing his companion.

'We have to get out of here and lose them some how.'

'You got it señor'

Jovi pushed on the accelerator trying to put as much distance between the two cars as possible. He turned corner after corner knocking Alex about in his seat, hitting shoulder. Alex grasped his arm tightly trying to ignore the burning sensation within.

More bullets pierced through the rea5r window causing the glass to shatter. Alex looked behind him to see the opposing car getting smaller and smaller. Feeling more relaxed he was the first to speak.

'So why has Mr Sanchez requested to see me? On the phone you mentioned that it was very important.'

'That I did señor, but like everyone else he doesn't really mention what he is planning to do or why he's doing it, you rival companies and buyers these days.'

'I see, so really I've just stepped into something that I know nothing about. So how does he know I can help him?'

'Your father and Mr Sanchez were great friends once, well, they still are.'

'Then why not ask for my father.'

'Your father requested that you came especially after your grand discovery of the Dragon's emperors tomb.'

'Memories' Alex thought

'I called him the day before.'

'Well let's I hope I don't screw anything up.'

Well that is the first chapter and dont worry the 2nd is just around the corner.

Alex finally learns why he has been called to Spain!!
