Alex stared at Blunt from across the table. Jack and Ian were sitting beside him with confused expressions on their faces. They were sitting opposite Blunt at MI6 headquarters. His eyes narrowed and Blunt's smooth unemotional face angered him for reasons he wasn't quite sure. Blunt angered him in general. He spoke slowly and unsurely. "What's the catch this time?" Blunt had the decency to twitch and eyebrow in what was probably fake surprise. "Nothing Alex. Why would there be?" Alex didn't bother to answer that. "Well." He said. "There is a small catch. Alex you will have to work as a life guard for the time you are there. But you will be paid. And you keep the money. You work in shifts and have the three Saturdays off. You also must go under the name Alex Reding. The Americans published your name in one of their papers and a few people managed to read it before we destroyed them. You must change your name for the holiday. How's that? " He was quiet for a second.
"So. Let me get this straight. You-" Alex pointed at Blunt and Miss Jones who both blinked their response at the same time. Miss Jones sucked on her peppermint sweet as usual. "-want to send me-" He pointed at himself. "-Jack and Ian to America, No strings attached, for a holiday? A real holiday?" Miss Jones stepped forward.
"We've been very impressed with your work Alex. You are without a doubt our best agent. We want to reward you. How does it sound?" She looked at Alex as he stared at the floor. Jack looked from Alex to Ian to Miss Jones. "Well it sounds lovely. A trip to Florida is just what we all need. I'm in. Ian?" Ian nodded.
"Yeah." He said. "It's sounds great. Why not."
"Great!" Miss Jones walked over to Ian and handed him a big brown envelope. "You're going to Florida in one day, on Monday, and staying at the Florida Sunrise Hotel for 3 weeks. Enjoy!" They smiled while Blunt stared from behind the desk. Alex began to feel excited. "Three weeks away from MI6!" He thought. He needed to unwind. He smiled briefly at Miss Jones as he walked through the glass door of the office. As soon as he got home Jack ushered him up the stairs armed with a suitcase and hangers then she went downstairs to make lunch.. He ignored the hangers at began throwing the contents of his wardrobe in. his wardrobe consisted manly of plain white t-shirts, his black long sleeved top, a few checkered shirts and a few tops with various cartoon characters on the or funny phrases. He just wore jeans both skinny and normal most of the time. But he packed a few shorts. He carried on packing until he got bored. Then his mate Tom called.
"Hey Alex. You coming out clubbing tonight?" Tom was Alex's best mate. Alex sighed as he stretched and flopped onto his bed. "Nah. Can't. I'm packing. We are going on a surprise trip to Florida tomorrow." Tom whistled. "Nice. If it was a surprise who sorted it?" Alex thought on his feet. He was used to doing this. After all, it was sort of his job. "One of Jack and Ian's mates. Dunno why." Alex waited with his breath held. Tom waited a second before responding. "Nice one! Take us some pictures of fit American girls then eh?!" Alex breathed a sigh of relief. He'd bought it. He hated lying to his friend like his but the less Tom knew about his life the better for his good and everyone else's. Alex smiled and tutted. "Aw c'mon you aren't supposed to be even looking at other girls now you have Melissa!"
Tom chuckled. "Yeah. I'm lucky." Alex sighed again. "You ok Alex? You don't sound to happy."
"I'm fine Tom. Just bored." Another lie.
"Aaaaaah. I see" said Tom knowledgably . The truth was Alex felt a little lonely whenever he thought of Tom and his new girlfriend. Alex wished he had his Melissa. He didn't want Melissa because he didn't particularly like her but he wanted someone to make him feel the same way that she did for Tom. He had had girlfriends but they never lasted. He stared at the ceiling and brushed his blonde hair out of his brown eyes. There was a quiet shout on Tom's side and Alex heard Tom shout back. "Listen Alex I have to go but have an awesome time in America!" Tom pronounced both the A words in a bad American accent and Alex laughed and said goodbye. He put his phone down and went downstairs. Ian was sitting at the counter talking to Jack and smiled when Alex came in.
"Hey Alex. You done packing?" Alex sat down on the stool next to him and nodded. Ian ruffled his hair like he had done when Alex was kid. "How about a game of footie. Alex smiled and nodded enthusiastically. Obviously the holiday was already making an impact on his uncle. The spent the rest of the day eating, playing footie and helping Jack pack as she mumbled about 'short notice'. The day went by surprisingly quickly and it was to long before Alex went upstairs and slept without taking his clothes off as soon as his head hit the pillow.
