Skylar moved before Alex could even blink, jumping in front of Carlos to protect him from the shot Mr Crawley had fired.
Alex froze when Skylar jerked before crumpling to the ground.
"Sky!" Carlos panicked falling to his knees and shaking the girl.
Alex ran to his side kneeling down and looking for the bullet wound...that wasn't there. Alex pulled a dart from Skylar back "tranq" he told Carlos.
Carlos nodded shakily hazel eyes wide with fear and his tan forehead sweaty "she just-she" he trailed off panting.
A man standing behind Carlos quickly fired a shot at the boy.
Alex quickly caught Carlos' limp form before he hit the ground "what do you think you're playing at Crawley, they aren't involved in this!"
"No" Crawley agreed "but I and Mrs Jones herself informed you that we would use force" one of the men slung Carlos over their shoulder "now Alex I believe you will be coming with us" he moved down the street and to a black car.
Alex watched as a man lifted Skylar up in a bridal hold, before he followed Crawley muttering a warning to the man holding Skylar "if she wakes up like that, she'll break your nose"
...
"Where are Car and Sky?" Alex asked as he hurried to keep up with Crawley walking through the bank.
Crawley waved a hand "they are both being tended to, you and they are free to leave after Mrs Jones had spoken to you"
"You're treating them like prisoners"
"Nonsense" Crawley replied "if they we considered them prisoners we would have shot to kill" Alex seen the evil meaning to the words and quickly shut his mouth.
...
"Ryan!" Ben knocked rapidly on his eldest sons door "Ryan come on I need to talk to you!".
To say Ben was panicking was an understatement, Alex, Skylar and Carlos were yet to return home after finishing the detentions they had earned.
Giving up on the door for a minute Ben once again tried to phone Alex.
'...Hey, you've reached Alex Riders phone, I'm too busy saving the world right now so leave a message and I'll get back to you...'
Cursing Ben hung up only to spot Jay and Terry coming up the steps "have you two seen Car, Sky or Alex today?"
Terry shot him an annoyed look ignoring him completely but Jay stopped to raise an eyebrow "sure, Al hung out with us for a while during study, we walked with Car this morning but I haven't seen Sky all day"
Ben nodded going back to knock on Ryan's door.
Why had he allowed them locks on their doors?
"Dad?" Jay looked at him warily "is there something wrong?"
"Yea" Ben typed in Skylar's number again "none of them have come back from school yet and they aren't answering their phones"
' ...You've reached Skylar I can't come to the phone now but leave a message and I'll get back to you asap...'
Terry who had opened his bedroom door turned quickly "you've tried calling them all?"
"Yes" Ben glared at Ryan's door.
"Shit" Jay cursed "Ryan!" he cried at the door "Open up we've got trouble!"
There was cursing from inside the door before Ryan poked his head out his eyes narrowed "what do you want Dad?"
"Alex, Carlos and Skylar are missing" Terry told him before Ben could speak.
"Fuck" Ryan opened his door fully "what we going to do?"
Ben shook his head "I'm going to head to school, see if I can find them, Jay and Terry you guys can head to the YC and see if they went there"
"They might just be annoyed still" Terry added sourly.
"Possibly" Ben agreed "but Alex is a trouble magnet I can't risk it, I'm going to call K-unit get them out looking, Ryan can you take Scott and Steve to the back room make sure nothing happens"
Ryan gave a shaky nod.
"Good, let's go"
...
"Good afternoon Alex"
Alex couldn't help the shiver that ran up his back at the cold voice, he had once seen Mrs Jones as one of the good guys in MI6, someone he could count on... oh how he had lost that feeling.
"Mrs Jones" Alex greeted emotionless taking a seat opposite the woman's desk.
Mrs Jones seemed to take in his appearance before nodding in approval to something "how have you been Alex?"
Alex gave her a cold glare "how about we skip the pleasantries Jones, I don't want to be here, if I had it my way I wouldn't but I am so hurry it along"
Something like regret flashed in the Jones' eyes but it was quickly extinguished "very well Alex" she handed a file across the table.
Alex took out the photo and looked it over as Jones spoke, the man in the photo had cold grey eyes, his black hair was neatly combed back and his thin lips pressed.
"Agent Small" Jones introduced "he is currently undercover in a new criminal organisation that has shown up, he hasn't been able to make contact with any of our older agents due to suspicion in the small group, it is new...we have no information on the group but we must take the information Small has managed to get a hold of"
Alex tipped his head back a frown on his face "and you want me to meet with him and get the information" he announced in a sigh.
"Correct" Jones agreed "you will meet him tomorrow night, in one of the old apartment buildings, the cover story is that you are a foolish teenager that thought he could get one over on Small but now works for him, a delivery boy"
"Oh is that it" Alex gave a harsh laugh.
"That's it"
Alex narrowed his eyes shaking his head "I went to America to escape this life Jones and I sure as hell didn't come back so that you could use me as a puppet again, I have nothing left to lose, I can walk away and never look back"
"Really?" It was the first time Alex noticed that Jones wasn't sucking on a peppermint "I'll think you'll find Alex that although you could walk away it would be unfortunate if Agent Daniels became accused of treason and sentenced to life in prison"
Alex gaped at the threat.
No, not again...
"If I am correct Skylar and Carlos Daniels are both resting in a holding cell in this building, if would be a tragedy if they became seen as assets and would be forced to stay with us in MI6 headquarters for interrogation" Jones swallowed "or what about the others, Ryan may avoid the system but I assure you Scott and Steve would not and there are some very uncaring families out there Alex, adults who treat children like animals"
"You-you" Alex stuttered "I-you can't do that!"
"I think you'll find that I can Alex" Jones stated coldly.
"you would ruin the lives of children just to have me!" Alex fumed "I'm not special Jones! Why do you need me?!"
'One life is nothing compared to thousands'
Jones look to the side slightly as if thinking "no Alex, you are not special but you are useful, now I believe you will want to go to your brother and sister"
Alex stood from the chair his fists clenched at his side and anger radiating off him "you can't control me forever Jones and trust me when I do break free, you will regret ever bringing me into this lie" he set his palms on the desk and leant forward "and you will regret ever threatening my family"
...
Skylar groaned as she came slowly out of the darkness, her head pounded and her eyes felt sticky as she tried to blink only for a harsh light to assault them.
Rolling over Skylar buried her head in the pillow.
Pillow...?
Sitting up quickly without much thought, she nearly fell when the world span and bile raised in her throat.
Skylar sat for a few minutes to get her bearings and for the world to stop flying by her eyes.
The room wasn't small but it had no windows, one steel door with no door handle on her side, the walls were a cement grey and the floor was nothing more than white washed tiles... some with stains on them.
Skylar's breath caught in her throat as she was suddenly back 7 years when she had lived with her father.
A moan from another bed against the wall brought her back to earth.
Carlos blinked heavily pressing a palm to his head.
"Carlos?" a shadowed figure hovered over him "bro you okay?"
"Sk'lar?" he slurred in annoyance.
"It's me" Skylar took his hand "how you feeling?"
Carlos looked around the bare room "like I got hit by a truck, where are we?" he tried to sit up only for Skylar to hold him down.
"Wait" she insisted "trust me, you will not feel good if you sit up straight away"
Carlos looked the older teen over seeing the sweat on her forehead, her normal tan skin had a paleness to it and suddenly he was furious "who did this?" he demanded.
Skylar looked to the door "its burly but I'm pretty sure we were running from MI6 agents, they wanted Rider, right?"
Carlos nodded slowly "yea" he let Skylar help him sit up against the wall "the bastard shot at me, you...you jumped in front of a shot for me".
Skylar avoided eye contact but finally turned back to the teen resting her forehead against his softly "you remember the promise I made you, when I first came?"
Carlos closed his eyes and hummed "you promised that you would never let any of us die if you could do something to stop it, you promised that I would never die because of your past, that you wouldn't let anybody hurt me as long as you could still breath"
Skylar laughed lightly but it was strained "got it in one, so there was no way on hell I was going to let that Bastard shoot you" she spat in Italian.
Carlos eyes snapped open when he heard heavy footsteps coming from outside, he couldn't help the whimper that escaped his lips.
"Hey" Skylar kissed his forehead "I won't let anybody hurt you, stay put" she stood up shakily a sharp look of fear in her eyes.
...
Alex followed the man both Carlos and Skylar had tasered down the corridor, letting a small smirk form as the man grumbled.
Stopping in front of a steel door the man unlocked it and allowed Alex to walk in... only for an arm to take him into a headlock.
Alex had to refrain from automatically breaking the person's neck.
"Sky, it's Alex!"
Skylar let go of Alex not able to hide her nerves "sorry" she breathed "thought it was you know..." she trailed off.
Alex rubbed his neck "it's fine" he reassured "you guys ready to get out of here" he eyed Carlos who did not seem one bit ready to move.
"Ready" Carlos gave a lopsided grin before standing only to pale "or not" he muttered sitting down heavily again "I can see two"
Skylar rolled her eyes while Alex chuckled softly "come on" he urged slinging the younger teens arm around his shoulder and putting an arm around his waist.
...
"Jay, you guys find anything over there?" Ben asked down the phone as he walked through the park.
"No Dad, Rachel says she ain't seen them since they up and left tis' morning with the other kids" Jay responded, he Irish accent showing more while he stressed.
Ben nodded even though the twins couldn't see "head back to the house, I've got Snake with the others, be careful" he added seriously.
"Got it Dad...Terry!" Jay shouted the phone being snatched from his hand.
"Hey Dad, have you found anything, have the solider boys found anything?" Terry asked quickly.
Ben looked around "no, I nor K-unit have found anything...we will though"
"...just find them Dad" Terry hung up.
Ben ran a frustrated hand through his hair as he finished scanning the park.
It had been 2 hours since Alex, Skylar and Carlos had gone missing from school. He had Wolf and Eagle out in the jeep checking around for them and he had Lynx visiting the hospital and tube station to see if anyone had seen them.
Ben knew if they didn't find the teens soon he would have to call the MI6 headquarters but he promised himself it would be a last resort.
Ben's mobile rang cutting him from his musings "Ben" he answered.
'...It's Eagle, Wolf and I found the kiddies...'
...
They are so busted! haha.
Alex told Mrs Jones, what a bad-ass.
Anyho I know it's short but I have course work to plan at the moment and exams coming up :(
