Hey! I'll be home soon. Will this tide you guys over? This looked so much longer on word. :(
Blah I don't own Blah. If you haven't figured out I don't own The Fantastic Alex Rider, You're really slow.
Chapter 10
She's Got You
"So, how are things going with Meg?" Matt said, sitting down next to Alex in the mess hall
"What do you mean?" Alex said looking over at Meg, who was sitting alone, picking at her food. She hadn't really been herself for almost a week. After telling Alex about her grandfather, she'd disappeared for almost two hours.
Flashback
"Good Afternoon Boss." Meg greeted her Commander with the same cold curtsy that the boss had showed her for her entire life.
"What do you want?" The Boss snapped.
"I Don't understand." Meghan stated carefully. "Why Should I kill him? He didn't kill Grandfather, he's never even heard of Grandfather. Why? Why do you want him dead?"
"HE'S ALEX RIDER! HE HAS EVERYTHING YOU AND I PLANNED! YOU HAVE NOTHING!" The Boss screamed in Meg's face, almost foaming at the mouth.
"Then Kill him yourself. 'Cause I won't do it." Meghan stated plainly, quietly. She could see the Traitor staring at her, along with the Boss's other employees. Nobody ever defied the Boss. Nobody ever went back on their mission. She turned on her heel, but the boss was quicker. Wincing as the boss twisted her arm, Meghan stood behind her decision. "I Won't."
The boss slapped her hard across the face.
"You will. Oh, You Will."
"Meg?" Casey walked over and sat down next to Meg. Alex and Matt quickly shut up. Alex could hear just about everything that said.
"Are you okay, baby doll?" Casey asked Meg. "You've just been slightly distant. And you have that nasty brusie" Meg nodded but remained silent. "Let me know if you need help, girl. You've got a phone call from a Brandon. You got yourself a boyfriend?" she teased.
Meg gasped and smiled really big as she dashed off to answer the phone. Alex told Matt what had just happened.
"How'd you hear all that? Dude, Crazy!" Matt gaped.
"What's so crazy?" Giovane asked as she and Lainey joined the boys at the table. Matt explained what they missed.
"Does Meghan have a boyfriend?" Alex asked. "Is that who Brandon is?" Giova shrugged.
"I think it's her foster brother. Adam's older brother, remember?" Lainey said. Giovane nodded.
"She has a foster family?" Alex said shocked.
"You didn't know?" The Gang all said at the same time. Then Lainey was forced to tell the story, one that Meg had told them once and never spoke of it again.
Meghan's mother had never meant to become a parent. When she found she was carrying Meg, she wanted to get an abortion. But her father refused and told her to let him raise Meg. Her Mother consented and left the baby, never to return. Meghan's father was a target for her Grandfather, the same one who raised her. He allowed Meg to see her Father once. When her father saw her, he realized he was a horrible man. He shot himself a week later. Meg's Grandfather loved her to bits and allowed her to become a spy, to follow in his footsteps. That was what she always loved. Being like him was her dream. When she turned 10, she came here and met us. We've been friends since then. That winter, her Grandfather went on a mission and somebody shot him from a foot away. Then the year she turned 13, she was paired up with 15 year old Tony. 3 years later she'd made a big mistake and Tony went MIA. Now two years later… She's got you.
