Chapter 2 – Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Every eye followed Yassen as he moved into the class room, eyes scanning the room, as if looking for someone. Shocked brown eyes met calm ice blue eyes as Yassen and Alex looked at each other. The tension in the room seemed to rocket sky high as they looked at each other, assessing each other silently, causing everyone else in the room to squirm uncomfortably.
"Little Alex, long time no see" Yassen remarked to Alex in a soft calm tone.
"What the hell are you doing here?! How are you even here? I watched you get shot! In the chest! How could you survive? Why come now?" Alex babbled on in shock causing the assassin to slightly lift his eyebrow, the only sign of his amusement.
"Alex, we don't have time to answer those questions right now. We need to leave right now!" Yassen said his voice still calm but forceful.
"What do you mean leave? I'm not going with you, of all people! What on earth is going on that means that you have to come barging into my classroom – "Alex was growing more and more angry with every word, thinking about everything that had happened in the past year or so. His first mission, getting sniped, going into space and the events on Dragon Nine.
"Alex, it's Scorpia. They are coming for you and they won't stop. I left, that was what everything on the plane was about. I needed to die for everyone to leave me alone. I heard they were coming for you now but I couldn't stop them, so this was the only thing left that I could do. Also, by revealing myself I have alerted MI6 that something is happening and in –"Yassen glances at a sleek watch on his left arm, "3 minutes they will show up. Alex you should come with me."
Alex stood there pale faced. All the blood had rushed out of his face at the mention of Scorpia. Flashbacks started in his head, of training, of Nile, the Church, Dragon Nine, but especially of getting shot by a sniper. What could he do if they were on their way to get him now? Could he trust Yassen enough to go with him? Could he trust him at all? He was supposed to be friggin' dead! MI6 lied to him yet again when they said he couldn't be saved. Which would be the lesser of two evils – going with Yassen or staying and being left in the clutches of MI6?
Alex took a deep breath and looked around the room. He took in the looks of confusion and shock on the faces of his class mates. He felt kind of sorry for them. They just learned his biggest secret and as soon as MI6 got here they would not be able to tell anyone it.
"Alex we need to hurry up they will be here in 90 seconds. You have to come with me. You will get answers and I can help you get away from MI6. Alex come" Yassen's voice got slightly lower than before, showing his slight annoyance at Alex's indecision.
Alex looked into the hardened eyes of the assassin. He drew another deep breath. "Yassen I –"
Just as Alex spoke four men smashed through the door to the art classroom. Yassen's eyes flashed with irritation for a second at the irritation as Alex turned to look at the men who had entered the room. He groaned out loud as he saw who it was.
