Thank you so much for the lovely reviews! I seriously was not expecting it :) anyway here is another chapter, its kind of a prequel thing but on alex's side of things. Enjoy!


Alex groaned as he squirmed around in his seat. He and his unit had been on the plan for almost 8 hours and he wasn't sure how much longer he could take it. What with Eagle talking nonstop about the big, juicy burger he was was going to get the second we stepped off this plane, Snake asking me how my shoulder was doing after dislocating it in drills yesterday and wolf, well, being wolf, I mean, lets be honest, just wolfs existence was enough to drive Alex through the roof.

Alex, well he was oddly quiet. He knew the plane was landing in less than an hour but then they still had to drive through the London traffic and get Eagle his goddamn burger and he just wasn't sure they would be in time for Sabinas speech.

Sabina. God he missed her. Every second since leaving London all those months ago he missed her.

The voice came over the speaker for them to return to their seats and prepare for landing which was music to everyone's ears. Looking at his watch Alex realised he only had an hour to get from the plane, through customs, across London and to the school (A/N: I'm a country girl who has never left Australia so I do not know how bad London traffic is so I guessed) before Sabianas speech.

When they were given the 'all clear' (A/N: never been on a plane either sooooo idk) to start getting off the aircraft Alex scrambled to gather all his stuff and get out ASAP!

Much to his discussed, he arrived at the car ten minutes before the rest of his unit and was seriously considering leaving them.

"Oi cub, why the rush?"

Alex ignored Eagle as he ushered them into the car and jumped into the drivers seat.

"Ain't that speech thing in like 45 minutes?" Enquired Snake.

"Yes thats why we are going to go through every freakin red light and bypass Eagles burger and I swear to god if ONE person tells me to slow down I'm going to shoot them! Got it!"

That shut them up. Well at least Wolf and Snake. Eagle on the other hand,

"But I'm hhhuuuunnnnggggrrrryyyyyyy!"

And that continued for 40 minutes until they pulled up in front of the school. And thats when something hit Alex. A very crucial detail in this elaborate plan to surprise his girlfriend. She went to THIS school. The school that he had been avoiding like the plague for the last two years.

"Come on cub, you don't wanna miss it"

Slowly getting out of the car and walking to the office alex tried to think of a way of not getting recognised. Its been two years, surely they wouldn't recognise…

"Alex Rider?!"

Arrrr

"Hello miss Bedfordshire"

"My god it is you! wow in the army! that's quite an achievement!"

"SAS, ma'am. Could you tell us what classroom Sabian Plessure is in?"

"Ooo here for the speeches? of course, shes in 201a. you know where that is? good"

Walking through the halls was so weird and kind of unpleasant for alex. What with all the teachers gobbling at him as he walked past the open doors. Then finally they reached it. 201a.

Slowly he raised his fist to give a light tap on the door.
