All Cub could do was turn around and face the owner of the voice. He could recognize that deep voice from anyone. It was the Sergeant glowering at him with his arms crossed over his chest. Most likely, he heard what Cub had said. "I came here to report that we made arrangements for Hunter and Cub to live in a different cabin. What I did not expect was to pick up some interesting information. Do you agree Cub? " The sergeant said while stressing the name Cub.
Alex did the one thing he could do at the moment. He ran out the door with the Sergeant hot on his trail. After 10 minutes elapsed, the sergeant had cornered Cub at the cliff where Alex rolled the soldiers' trailer off during selections. (In the movie,Stormbreaker.) "You got no where to run, Cub!"The sergeant hollered.
"I am Alex Rider. I can never get caught that easily!" Cub boasted with his signature smirk to edge the Sergeant which it did. "Cub! Get back here!" the Sergeant was yelling at the top of his lungs. "Nope." Alex retorted back stressing the "p" sound. Cub broke out into a sprint and jumped off the cliff just at the time Hunter and K unit caught up. Alex's large white wings sprouted out of his back instantaneously giving him the power of flight. Using his wings, Alex climbed higher into the sky til he was above all the trees below. Cub was too busy taunting the Sergeant to notice that he was falling towards the trees.
What Alex didn't realize was that his body was not completely accustomed to the new changes. Therefore, Alex's body cannot endure the strain it puts on his body. Hunter,K unit and the Sergeant watched the boy fall to the earth. Hunter rushed to where Cub has fallen as fast as he could. Luckily, the fall and trees
inflicted only bruises and minor cuts on Cub who was now stirring awake from his flight. K unit and the Sergeant quickly rejoined them when Yassen was seen carrying Alex in his arms. "Cub, seeing that you are hurt. I will lay off your punishment for stealing. Hunter, I will take you to your new cabin where you can treat Cub's K unit, feel free to tag along." the sergeant said who got a chorus of "Yes, sir!" from his soldiers.
The Sergeant led them to a cabin that looked way bigger and better furnished than the rest of the units in Brecon Beacons. Eagle was the first to complain. "How come they get such a nice cabin and we don't?"
"Eagle, this is the last unoccupied cabin." the sergeant snapped back.
The soldier pouted for 5 minutes to everyone's annoyance.
"Cub, while we are treating your injuries. I also need to do your medical evaluation." Snake said.
"No, I don't want to!" Alex spoke forcefully.
"At least get your recent wounds treated." Yassen trying to coax the boy.
"Fine." the teenage spy said.
"Don't forget to take off your shirt." Snake added.
Alex did what Snake instructed. He could here a large intake of breath from the medic. As for Yassen, a silent glare.
The Sergeant and the 3 other members of K unit came to see what the commotion was about. They got their answers. On Alex's body was a strange marking. It grew along the left side of his chest and would constantly change it shape. If it were alive.
