Haley looked down at Kyle. "What are you doing here?" she repeated.

"I have a lead on Alex's case," answered Kyle, "I want you to help me."

Haley grinned. "Sure! I've got some stuff too! I'll be down in a second." Her head disappeared.

Kyle's smile instantly turned into a look of disgust. Like he cared about the girl. It was time for the rightful leaders of the world to take their place, whether the people liked it or not.

Alex walked into her new house. She wasn't quite ready to call it home yet. Looking around, she spotted several things that made her mouth drop open.

"Is that...?" she whispered, coming towards a painting of one of Van Gogh's last works. She stared at it, open mouthed. She had never seen such a good copy.

Roger chuckled. "That's the real thing, you know. MI9 gave it to us to look after."

Jane said, "They decided it would be safer where no one could see it."

Alex laughed. "Oh thank God! Luke spilled some juice over this painting last year... Imagine if it had been the real one."

Jane and Roger exchanged understanding looks, before turning back to Alex. "Would you like to see your bedroom again, sweetheart?"

Alex's heart jolted. She had a family once. Now she had one again. But what was it a wise man once said?

You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your family.

Haley shimmied down the pipe and jumped, landing safely on her mother's flowers. Inwardly she winced. Oh, I am soo dead, she thought. When Mum sees this... "So, Mr Bluesman! Whatchagot?"

"Alex has gone to a different country-more specifically, England." Kyle began walking to his car, Haley following. She felt a bit stupid now.

"Um... Yeah. I pretty much figured it out. Not the England bit though. I mean, I was about to. Before you came. I... got... the files on the boat thingy," she rambled.

Kyle turned around in surprise. "Huh. You're smarter than you look." He looked impressed. Then, as he turned away, he muttered something under his breath, which Haley didn't quite catch, but she thought she heard the word, "Recruitment." Feeling distinctly nervous now, she slid into the seat next to Kyle.

"So, um, where are we going?" she asked, trying to cover up her nervousness. It wasn't fear-yet. But it would be, very soon.

"England," grinned Kyle, "To persuade your sister to come back."

As Haley considered what he said, she noticed a cloak lying in the back. It was black, and had a long hood.

Just like those weird terror-types, she thought. OK...

Alex ran into her first class. She was a little late, because she had a greetings session with the head, and there she was, standing awkwardly, looking out at everyone. "Umm. Hi?" she said.

"What's up?" said a girl sitting on the end of the table, nodding her head. "Jasmin. Nice to meet you." The girl stuck out her hand, ignoring the stares and sniggers of other students.

"Uh, Alexandra, nice to meet you too." Alex shook hands with the strange girl, who instantly went back to scribbling in her science book.

"All right! Oi! Harriet, shut up!" yelled a teacher, coming into the room. She had short brown hair, dark eyes and a northern accent. Alex jumped out of her way.

"Hi, Miss, I'm Alexandra, your new student," she told the teacher.

"Oh, hi, I'm Ms Jackson, why don't you go and sit over there next to Nilusha until we put you on the seating plan?" said Ms Jackson, one eye on the chatty other side of the class. "OI YOU LOT! Finished your work yet? Didn't think so! Hurry up!"

Alex made her way over to a thin girl, who had a lot of frizzy hair. It was impossible to miss, even with it in a ponytail. She looked up as Alex came over.

"Hello. I am Nilusha. It is an honour to meet you," she said solemnly.

"Ok..." Alex said slowly. "I'm Alex. It's an... honour to meet you too. What are we doing?"

"Salts. I like vinegar."

"That's nice... Nelusha, was it?"

"NILusha, not Nelusha. Tell me, Peeta or Gale?"

"Gale all the way."

"Oh yes," Jasmin said stopping, acid in hand. "My sister, you ROCK!" she high fived Alex and danced away.

Alex grinned, she was going to like these people.

Haley fidgeted slightly. She had grown more suspicious in the past hour, spotting more things that only sent her into paranoia. Her well honed detective skills were doing their job.

Fat lot of good it is now. I'm stuck in a car with a possible terrorist, who for some reason wants to save my sister, who is in England doing god knows what.

Oh, god, please save me now.

I hope you liked that chappie, its long! Thanks for the reviews, more would be nice...?
