I might be updating faster now that all the regents exams and stuff are done. But then again I might not since it's summer vacation. We'll see. = ]

Chapter 4: There

Mackenzie POV

When I first saw the "safe house" the only word I could think of was: disgusting. It was some kind of wooden cabin that looked to have been there forever. But that was the outside.

The inside was as new and modern as you could get. There were four bedrooms with their own bathrooms. Everything was brand new. In every room though there was a hidden microphone and an emergency button. The living room, the kitchen and the hallways had cameras. Every room was also equipped with knives and guns.

On the way there we had found out that Agent Daniels was to be staying with us for the whole time we were to be kept there. I was happy; the more protection the better. Alex? Not so happy. He didn't want to be there and couldn't care less about anything. After our little chat in the car he said nothing. It was dark when we finally reached there. As soon as we got there Alex and I both took our bags and went to out separate rooms. K Unit and Agent Daniels would be rotating positions. Two inside and two outside. Then tomorrow morning a new unit would be replacing K Unit, and then in the afternoon another unit would be replacing them.

Alex and I were not to step one foot out of the house without someone with us. End of story.

I was now lying down on my bed, trying to fall asleep. It wasn't working. Every sound I heard had my heart racing. I looked at the clock: 1:52. Sighing, I decided to get up. I hesitated as I opened the door and then went out. I wasn't going to run into anyone anyway. So wrong.

I heard voices. I tiptoed into the kitchen to find K Unit, Alex and Agent Daniels around the kitchen table. I got angry, though I didn't show it. They had shut up as soon as I came in. I was kept out of everything since MI6 contacted me. I was told nothing except they had to protect me because my dad's organization was trying to kill me; that was it. And what was there to talk about at 2:00 in the morning that I was to be kept out of?

Flipping my hair out of my eyes I got a glass of water and sat down next to Eagle across from Alex and Wolf. Snake and Fox were at the ends. I folded my arms and looked at them.

"So, uh, why are you up?" Agent Daniels broke the silence.

"Why are you?" I fired back.

"Because we have to be," Wolf said pointedly.

"Yeah, we're guarding you two remember?"

"Why is he up? It's two o'clock in the morning," I said pointing to Alex with my chin.

Alex looked at me.

"What are you? Five? Jealous that I was up and you weren't?"

My face turned bright red. Ok. Now I was getting angry.

"That's not what I meant," I snapped back embarrassed. "What were you guys taking about when I came in?"

Alex rolled his eyes. "Oh you're nosy too?"

I gripped my glass.

"I just want to know what's going on," I snapped back. "Their looking for me too."

"There's nothing to know," Agent Daniels said.

"Really? Is that why you all shut up as soon as I came in?"

"We were surprised that was all," Snake said.

"Oh? Well, please continue where you left off. Don't mind me," I retorted.

At that they all looked uncomfortable. Except for Alex.

"Maybe your right," he mused, a smile playing about his lips. "Maybe we don't want you to hear what we're talking about." He paused, "But we still want to continue our conversation." He paused again. "So leave."

I stared at him in absolute disgust.

"Excuse me?"

Alex rolled his eyes.

"Oh? You're heard of hearing too?" He then started to speak slowly and clearly, as if I was an idiot. "We think. You. Should leave. So. We. Could-."

He never finished. I threw my full cup of water into his face.

"You know," I said smiling sweetly, "I think I'm feeling a bit tired now."

I put my empty cup in the sink and then walked over to Alex so I was right in his face.

"I don't. Like. To be treated. Like. I'm five," I mimicked him.

Then I walked out of the kitchen. Leaving them silent.

I'll probably be updating again really soon. The next chapter will pick up two second after this one. = ] Note: Just because Mackenzie is a bit sassy and what not in this chapter; it doesn't mean that all of a sudden she'll become this butt kicking, karate girl. She's exactly like us. She might be able to throw a punch or two and use her head, but that's about it. This will not turn into an, "And suddenly the girl can fight just like Alex. And she's perfect for Alex because she can become a spy too!" Nahhhhh. Not happenin.

Hope you liked it! Reviews are loved.
