Disclaimer: I don't own the Alex Rider series, THERE I've said it, now can we please move on…grumble…grumble…don't have to rub it in every time! pouts
Before we begin, I would like to thank SheWeapon1 and Eagle's daughter for giving me the NICEST reviews EVER!!! Thanks so much and I really appreciate your kindness! Many of the ideas in this chapter come from that and maybe some from the movie, "The Parent Trap".
Also, thanks to all of you who have stuck with me while I was writing this story! It's nice to know that I have some dedicated readers out there who read my work.
-------on with the story-----oh well, I ask for 10 reviews and I get 5, but I don't care------
"Unless," Yassen smirked with a mysterious glint in his eyes, you could tell he was in a good mood right now. Whether it was just the sensation of having a little "fun" or being with John Rider's son, he didn't know, but he decided to drop his serious act and mess around with MI6 a little, "You want to wreak havoc with Special Operations division MI6."
Alex glanced up at Yassen, clearly shocked, this was NOT the Yassen he knew, but…it did sound like a pretty fun idea. Plus, he was feeling extremely "bad" right now, time for some payback Blunt! "You're in! Let's do this!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The pair headed back inside and sat down at the kitchen table to discuss what they wanted to do. Yassen was looking at Alex expectantly, and frankly, it was confusing the teenager, "What!?" He asked, not liking the assassin's stare.
"Well," Yassen shrugged, "I'm pretty sure that whatever plan I come up with, you will veto it immediately, so I thought that it would be easier for me to just let you come up with the plan."
Alex sighed; did he always have to think for everyone? "Okay…rule number one: NO KILLING PEOPLE. Rule number two: If my friends from K-Unit come, make sure to intimidate Wolf, who is the leader. Rule nu…" He was cut off by a question from Yassen.
"Who is K-Unit?" He had read a file on them, but it didn't exactly go into detail, "I know they work for the SAS, but who are they."
"K-Unit were my "bodyguards" when I was stuck at home and they are Wolf, Fox, Snake, and Eagle." Alex explained, and when Yassen nodded, he continued, "Rule number three: the pranks must be silly."
Yassen raised an eyebrow, "Must they?" He asked flatly in his usual expressionless voice.
"Well…" Alex considered, "I want it to seem like a teenager did it and not an accomplished assassin who works for their archenemies!"
Yassen sighed, "Alright, what do you have in mind?"
Alex thought about it hard, "We need something that you already have…how about water?"
Yassen was actually surprised, "THAT'S IT? THAT is all you can come up with?"
Alex glared, "So, you can come up with better?"
Yassen scoffed, "Of course I can come up with better!"
"Fine," Alex was stubborn and wouldn't let Yassen have the glory of winning this little debate. "What've YOU got in mind?"
"Hmmm…" Yassen considered this carefully, "Pick from syrup, whipped cream, honey, feathers, and cooking oil."
Now, it was Alex's turn to be surprised. He never really expected the cold-hearted assassin to come up with an idea that was actually…better…than…………..his. "I know, we could somehow attach a bucket to the door, so when its opened, it will tip over. Of course, we will fill the bucket with honey and syrup! Then, we could attach a trip wire that activates something that dumps feathers onto them. We could also use water guns to squirt them if they try to go further into the house!"
Yassen raised an eyebrow at the absurdity of the plan, but smiled nonetheless. "You do realize that this is going to trash my 13 million dollar house right?"
"Uhhh…" Alex hadn't exactly considered that obstacle, "You could always hire a cleaning service!" He said hopefully.
Yassen scowled, "That wasn't what I meant Rider, it was supposed to a joke." Then, he sighed, "The real goal is to get them to leave, so if they still continue to come, I can fire tranquilizer darts at them and take them out into the woods to let them find their own way home."
Even though it sounded tempting, Alex wanted to make sure that nobody got severely injured or hopelessly lost. "Okay, I guess that's alright, but put a tracker on each of them, so we know where they are going. And, please make sure you use a dart gun, not one with ammunition. I really don't want them to get hurt, ya know?"
Yassen smiled at how well they worked together, just like the old days, with John… "Great, it's a plan. Lets get started, we have a lot of work to do."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four hours later:
K-Unit was headed towards Yassen's house on motorcycles. In the lead, was Wolf, and he was thoroughly annoyed.
First, he was assigned to guard Alex FROM Yassen and then he just goes and runs off with him! They were told that it would be a bit of a car chase, so they had been allowed three hours of sleep. When Fox had questioned why they shouldn't go after them immediately, Blunt admonished him telling him to do as ordered. Although, Mrs. Jones explained that they wanted to see where Yassen and Alex were going first.
Within 15 minutes, they reached the house. Leaving their bikes a good half-mile from the mansion, they stalked quickly and quietly to the front door.
--------------------------------------------
"Alex…Alex" Yassen was shaking the boy's shoulder, trying to wake him up, "Wake up, they're almost here!"
"Huh?" Alex sleepily popped open one eye, then, realizing where he was and what he was doing here, he was wide-awake. "
"Let's go, get in your position," Yassen hissed at Alex.
After they had finished making their plans, Alex gathered all the ingredients and Yassen set up the traps. He made it look so simple and Alex was utterly jealous. They'd added a few finishing touches, including pouring oil onto the floor with a loose piece of wood that would slide over the floor. Someone would eventually step on it and slam into the couch, where there was a crème pie waiting. Alex had no idea where Yassen managed to stock up so many groceries, but he was thankful. After all, it would be put to good use!
After they had finished setting up the traps, Alex was so tired, he could hardly keep his eyes open. Yassen allowed him to sleep and said that he would wake him up when the time came, and well, the time was now and Alex was awake.
They saw the shadows of K-Unit outside the door and tensed up. Yassen was cradling a stun gun in the crook of his arm and Alex held a water gun, full to the brim. Next to him, were 3 more water guns, all filled and ready to shoot.
Soon, they heard the lock being smashed and Yassen grinding his teeth, "I spent 200 grand on that lock!" He hissed angrily to Alex.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Man that was easy," Said Wolf, laughing and quickly stepping inside. This was supposed to be a quick search. They didn't expect Yassen to be in the house, he would have left the minute he suspected that they were after him. But, as always, MI6's plans always had a glitch. As the team walked through the doorway, each and every one of them was covered with sticky maple syrup and honey. "What the heck?" Fox exclaimed, attempting to wipe the fluid from his eyes, but only making it worse.
Of course, the honey, along with being a major edition to the ultimate plan, it also served as a distracter. It hindered K-Unit's vision and annoyed to the point that they weren't really paying attention to where they were going. So, to Yassen and Alex's great relief, they didn't notice the oil poured over the marble floor.
Soon, their feet were caught in the trip wire, but they didn't fall. All their training had taught them not to fall, so they caught themselves just in time, only to step on board and have it slide across the floor. Also, in the split second that they stumbled, a bin of pillow feathers were dumped on top of them while they were sent crashing into a sofa. When they contacted with the sofa, their faces slammed into the delicious crème pies waiting for them.
All of this happened so fast, that nobody had a chance to say anything. Sputtering and gasping for breath, the four SAS men stumbled forward, only to be pelted with jets of water. Alex aimed for the balls, it was one of the easiest targets, and he knew that it would hurt. Along with the pain, there was a growing level of anger in the room too, to Alex's great amusement.
"Ow!!!!!!!!!" Fox howled as he was hit with the water. Every single one of them went down, crumpling in pain.
Yassen sighed, even though it was quite entertaining to watch their plan be put into action, now he would have to get these idiots out of his house. Luckily, Alex had come up with the idea that if they put plastic wrap on all the furniture and on the walls and floor, clean up would be a breeze.
Not taking his chances with any of them, Yassen quickly walked up to the team and shot a tranquilizer bullet into each of their arms. Then, he pulled out some trackers, they were about the size of the tip of a ballpoint pen, and he stuck one on each man. Yassen had been contemplating on where to put it, then he realized that no man ever checks behind his ears. If this was a woman on the other hand, this would be different. They always tuck some hair behind their ears or adjust their earrings. Attaching the tracker to the flesh behind the ear, Yassen picked 2 men up by the collars of their shirts and brought them outside, Alex followed, dragging the other 2, with a smirk plastered on his face. That was payback for how you treated me at SAS training!
They dropped K-Unit about two miles away from the house. On the way back Alex started celebrating, "That was totally awesome, did you see Wolf's face?"
Yassen had to smile at that, "Yes Alex, I did." Then he became serious again, "Now, you will need to help me clean up the mess."

This chapter was pretty fun to write, I didn't want to have MI6 discover an empty house, so yeah, there you go. It's almost mid-night; I had a totally boring day of school, and an exhausting volleyball game. I'm officially pooped; I hope you liked this chapter, if you didn't, well, too bad. Live with it. Thanks again to SheWeapon1 for the wonderful review, maybe more people can be that nice and make my day hint hint.
