Alex woke with a start when he felt someone grab his waist in an attempt to pick him up. With his sensors sharp from the unwelcome wakeup call he wriggled out of the grasp and jumped to the other end of the cell to face his attacker.

Seeing that it was one of the guards from last night he relaxed slightly but not fully. Seeing that action the guard spoke,

"The Boss wants you. He said that time was up." His voice was gruff and unpractised. The man who spoke and another two who were outside the cell door lead Alex to Yassens office, that is if you could call the quaint and slightly decorated room that.

~~~~~!~~~~~!~~~~~

Leopard looked down at the screen of the cell phone having just sent the latest information that he had gathered through to the headquarters. Smiling slightly at his achievement he could not believe his luck! The big bosses would be so happy knowing that their 'package' had been removed without incident.

What he didn't know was that the kid had been taken by another party.

With that in mind he all but skipped to the mess hall for the assembly that the sergeant had organised.

Cub had not been found. K-unit were worried it had been almost two days now. Almost two days since fight in their barracks between Cub and Leopard.

~~~~~!~~~~~!~~~~~

Alex was pushed rather roughly through the door into the quaint and slightly decorated 'office' and came face to face, again, with Yassen.

Alex took a seat in one of the leather chairs without being asked or even offered. The assassin raised an eyebrow at his bold and cocky action, but otherwise did not comment. After a long moment, of the assassin and teenage spy assessing each other the assassin spoke,

"So little Alex have you made your decision? Or will I have to make it for you?" his voice staying the same monotone tone.

"I have made my decision." Answered the younger with a just as monotone tone showing that he too could be ice cold and emotionless. He paused before saying,

"I have decided to…"

~~~~~!~~~~~!~~~~~

The sergeant stood up the front of the mess hall issuing all soldiers on camp with their new orders.

Find Cub at all costs.

Nobody noticed the way that Leopard sneered whenever Cubs name was mentioned.

After that they were all released. They all fanned out, having decided to search the immediate surroundings of camp first.

Most soldiers thought it fruitless to search the grounds but it was standard procedure after all.

~~~~~!~~~~~!~~~~~

"I have decided that I will stay with you and you train me." Said Alex his voice as even as ever.

"And what made you decide on that particular option?" asked the assassin.

"Well for the first one, being offered an easy out was just too hard to pass up. Ant the third, I would never be your prisoner. So that left the second one and plus it will help me for taking down them."

"You are wise little Alex." Said the assassin.

Alex only smiled and bowed his head. He knew that it was not going to be any walk in the park, but at least he would be free from MI6. At least for now.

The assassin stood and Alex followed suit walking out behind him.

~~~~~!~~~~~!~~~~~

The Sargent sighed. He sat at his desk putting off the inevitable.

It was time to inform MI6 or Cubs disappearance. There had been no evidence found only signs of a small struggle down by the lake.

Slowly he picked up the phone and dialled the number he was given from the man who had dropped off.

Sorry! I know that it was short but this story is not my first priority but I am still working on it and am completely winging it all the same. Hope you enjoyed! Please review!

And yes it is short but it is something!
