DISCLAIMER: I don't own Alex Rider...sadly...I however currently have him tied up in my room. Best offer gets him.

Alex groaned as she felt herself being shaken awake. 'Alex.' She heard someone hiss. She buried her head into the pillow. 'Alex!' She lifted her head and saw Lion. She was about to go to sleep again when he spoke again. 'Eagle, Fox, Snake and Wolf are missing.' Alex pretty much leapt of bed then. 'This was left on the cabinet. What does it even mean?' Lion held up a bright red Scorpion pin. Alex's eyes widened.

'It means we need to retrieve K Unit.' Alex said, eyes focus on the pin. 'Before its too late. No officials in on it, everyone knows that moles are in every government-run branch.' Lion nodded in understanding as Alex stood up, shoved him away and shut the curtain she hung up before hand. She changed from her pyjamas into a pair of stone-washed skinny jeans, a tight fitting white tank-top, a leather jacket and a pair of tan ankle boots that had no heels.

She then put the suitcase on the bed and got the guns that she knew had been stashed in their by however packed it. Since she had stayed in England and the threats against her grew she was finally allowed to handle guns. Alex checked the guns was loaded before stuffing them in to the waist band of her jeans at the back so the jacket concealed the shapes. She swished the curtain back and saw a dressed Lion.

'You got a mobile?' Alex asked. Lion nodded and tossed her a iPhone. She stuck it in her back-pocket. 'I'll deal with it later.' She said and walked out, Lion at her heels. 'From now on code-names only.' Alex whispered.

'Okay, Cub.' Lion said. Alex lead the way to the Sergeant's office and snuck through the open window. It was empty, as she suspected. She glanced at the clock and winced at the time: 2am. Alex grabbed a pen and some paper and scrawled a note out in her fancy script that she always used.

Gone to get K Unit, they've been taken by Scorpia.
Lots of love,
Cub and Lion

Alex then moved the mouse. She almost snorted at the sloppiness the Sergeant committed. Lion dropped into the office also as Alex tapped into the security cameras. Judging by the lax security the SAS camp didn't expect anything from the inside. They obviously knew nothing about Scorpia and...well...spies. Once she managed to get the security footage up she wasn't surprised to find nothing, no sign of Scorpia agents.

'There has to be something. No-one can get in or out of the camp without someone knowing.' Lion protested. Alex groaned slightly, last she knew he had only done 1 mission. He was oblivious to the skill Scorpia possessed and the level they trained their agents too. No-one unless they saw it for themselves knew, as far as she knew she was the only person to escape the Scorpia way of life alive.

Even as it stood she was on the Most Hated List (MHL), if the constant assassination attempts was anything to go by, she was on almost every criminal organisation's MHL. Alex brushed a stand of her back behind her ear and frowned. Where could Scorpia agents get in without detection? Lion was right, it was improbable to get into the camp without detection, but not impossible.

The only way they would be able to get in is to know the blind spots of the cameras and where the camp didn't have cameras. They would need a inside man. Alex sighed and thought for a second before it hit her. They would need a van or something in order to get away, the camp boundaries in the forest...well they wasn't guarded with cameras or fenced off like the entrance to camp.

They didn't fence it off so soldiers could get in when they go parachuting and such. Only SAS soldiers knew where the section was. Alex almost slapped herself, it was so obvious. Alex stood up. 'Come on.' She said leading the way out of the office. Lion shrugged and ran after her.

'So...what we looking for?' Lion asked. 'A spaceship? A hole? A tree?' Alex gave him a weird look he shrugged too. 'It's possible.'

'No it's not.' Alex said. He snorted.

'Yeah it is.' Lion said.

'Whatever, we are not getting into this.' Alex groaned. They walked to the forest and made their way through it until they got to the fence. They could both see the visible tracks from what Alex assumed was a jeep.

'K Unit, oh K Unit, where art thou K Unit?' Lion gasped dramatically, dropping to the ground as if he had fainted. 'I live not...where art thou K Unit?'

'Shut. Up.'
