Alex knew he was in trouble when the monkeys showed up.
Why is it always a wild animal?! Why can't it be a newborn doe for once?! Alex thought looking around at his surroundings. There was nothing that could be considered helpful to most people. Just a miniature Statue of Liberty, a table, and a bowl of onions.
"This one's really insane. Who keeps a bowl of onions and an army of apes?" Alex muttered to himself picking an onion up and watching the monkeys. They weren't doing much, just staring a him as if waiting for a sign or something.
"The great Balthazaar Simia, that's who."
Alex turned around to face he door, and the man who had spoken.
"Balthazaar I'm guessing?"
"Quite right, Mr. Smith, or shall I say Rider. I raised these monkeys myself. they have the same diet as me. Nothing but bananas, onions, and bugs. But these guys haven' been fed for a week so they're itching to eat something. So I'm imagining you covered in banana paste, onion, and bugs as their next meal."
"You're mad," Alex replied pocketing he onion in his hand, picking another one up, peeling it slightly, and rolling it towards Balthazaar Simia. he result was instant. He monkeys went for the onion, and in the process, knocking down Balthazaar. Alex ran past towards the door. Two more hallways and he was home free to the extraction team he was praying MI6 sent for once.
He almost made it. He was 10 yards from where he saw men in a familiar SAS uniform waiting, in theory, for him when more monkeys showed up. Alex took his second onion and peeled it again, chucking it behind him.
Alex stopped momentarily at the SAS team.
"If you're the extraction team you better be ready to go before those monkeys are done with that onion."
The men immediately started towards a small plane and runway before piling in and telling the pilot to go. Alex sat down and closed his eyes for a moment.
"Cub? You're the agent we were sent to pick up?"
"Nice to see you again Wolf," Alex replied.
"Wait, this is he kid who trained with us for a couple of weeks?!" Eagle asked.
"Yep. I know all of you except the pilot and the man in the corner. Fox's replacement I imagine. Nice to see you Eagle. Snake."
Alex sat there as the men stared at him.
"How do you know about Fox leaving? And what are you doing? I thought this was a one time thing with Point Blanc?" Wolf asked him.
"Classified. I wish this was a one time thing but I'm in too deep now. Now who is Fox's replacement? I want to know who else is in my old unit." Alex replied.
"That's Bobcat. Bobcat meet Cub. He was a fifth member of our unit a year ago," Wolf introduced.
"Ain't he a little young to be out here? What were you doing out here anyways?" Bobcat asked.
Alex grinned a little.
"Isn't it obvious? I was about to be eaten by monkeys who were raised by who may the craziest billionaire I have ever gone against, who planned to kidnap the Prime Minister."
K-Unit just stared a him.
"You're joking," Eagle told him.
Alex looked a Eagle dead in he eye.
"I hate monkey business."
