I'm back. I kept meaning to update… and then I'd check the stories or a tv show would come on… but u can all thank Ali Maximum… again… here is the next installment… oh and btw screw you if u have a problem with short chapters.


Alex POV

Alex watched the girl take out the bandages. He knew his needed to be changed. He knew now that the girl would comply and stay quiet for a chance to live. This would make it all that much harder to shoot her in the end. The girl well and truly believed that he was going to release her. The fool hadn't she been around people like him long enough to realize you didn't get to live? He would only need her for a few more days. After that it would be necessary to kill her so she didn't manage to exploit his whereabouts. She was a nuisance.

Alex mentally cringed at the smell of the sanitizer, he never had liked the smell. Why on earth people carred it around and used it all day he didn't know. It wasn't exactly the world's best perfume. But he guesses it was necessary since she after all be dealing with wounds.

After she had bandaged his wounds up again, he looked at her. She was wearing the same clothes that she had been wering when he had taken her.

"What size do you where? You are going to need more clothes, so that no one asks questions."

"4. I wear a size four in pants and a size medium in shirts." She said quietly.

"Bra size? Underwear size? Or would you prefer to go commando? Oh and shoe size. Tennis shoes won't go with the dress." Alex said impatiently. He needed to get her a dress for tonight and he didn't honestly feel like cooking this week, he wanted to go to restaurants and get out the hotel room.

"32 B. Size four in underwear. And Size 7 in shoes." She said with a slight blush.

"That's wonderful and color preferences? And since your going to be around for the next week or so a name might help as well." Alex said, figuring it might seem odd if he never calls her by her name and it usually easier to control someone when you know there name.

"My name is Maisy. Nothing pink?" Maisie said uncertainly.

"Alright Maisy, nothing pink. I can do that." Alex said and smiled softly. Maybe he wouldn't kill her he kinda liked her. No, he had to why would he think about not killing her. He couldn't like her. That would make it to hard to kill her. He just needed to remain in control and everything will be fine. Yes, he just needed to remain in control.

John, Ian, Yassen POV

"Well, he didn't check into any hotels near by." Eagle announced.

"Eagle, did you look at the security tapes or did you just search for Alex Rider like a dumbass?" Wolf grumbled. So far the search for Alex had been fruitless. That did not put Wolf in a good mood. Why the hell couldn't the kid just leave a note saying where he was running away to dammit.

"Ummmm… Oooooops…." Eagle said cringing. Wolf was so grumpy, Eagle thought, kinda like an old man. He started giggling at that thought.

"What. Are. You. Giggling. At." Wolf hissed.

'N-n-n-n-n-Nothing." Eagle managed to say in between fits of laughter.

Everyone narrowed their eyes. Eagle had to have found something sugary. Which meant one of them had to have left out something sugary. Which one of them though had submitted them to this torture?

John's phone rang. He looked relieved for an excuse to leave.

"So Dad, how is it going? Had any luck in finding me?" The voice sneered.

"Alex." John breathed.

"Really I thought my name was Bob. Although I do have to say I'm surprised that you know my name. you were around what a week or so at the most?" Alex said sarcastically.

"Alex please-" John began.

"I didn't ask you to say please or even to address me by my name. I asked questions. Perhaps you should learn to answer them." Alex said and then hung up.

"Alex, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." John whispered.

"John who was it?" Ian asked when he walked in a bit later.

"It was Alex. It was my little boy." John whispered tears rolling down his cheeks.

" John. He needs help whatever he said he doesn't mean it, John." Ian said softly trying to figure out how to comfort his hurting brother. He realized then the only way to help John would be to help Alex. Which was proving to be a near impossible task.


Hmmmm… should I kill Alex? Okie dokie people I'm on a roll now! However to speed my roll up please review!
