Last time on SCSL:

"Sab?" Alex said.

Emerged from behind the door was another figure from the past. "Alex?" The other girl said. Alex gulped and looked at Mrs. Jones concerned for his well being.

Chapter 3- Obstacles and Late Night Talks

Alex was mad. No Alex was furious! How could they do this to him? Sarah and Sabina were there. No, this could not be happening.

Alex's eyes focused on another person, a guy this time. Better yet, he didn't know him! Alex approached the guy and stuck his hand out saying, "Alex Rider."

The boy shook his hand and said, "Zach Smith."

"Well, I'll be leaving you to show Alex around. See you in a week." Blunt and Mrs. Jones walked off.

"So." Sabina said.

"So." Alex replied.

"Uh- we are actually in the middle of dinner, want to get something to eat?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah, sure." Alex said and followed the three into the Dinning Hall.

Alex, Zach, Sarah and Sabina walked into the Dinning Hall, along with about 10 other kids. "Listen UP!" Sabina yelled, everyone looked at her.

"This is our new counselor, Alex." Sarah finished. There was a chorus of "hellos"

"Alright, go back to ignoring us!" Zach said. The hall went back to its talking and noise.

Alex took a seat next to Zach while Sabina and Sarah sat across from them. Alex didn't look Sabina or Sarah in the eyes, it was too hard.

"So, after this, we go back to training and then we go make sure the little ones sleep and then, do whatever." Zach explained the rest of their day.

"Sounds better than I expected." Alex admitted. "So what exactly do we do?"

"Well we basically run the camp." Sarah explained.

"And help the kids when needed." Sabina added on.

"And then go out at night and have fun." Zach said also.

"So, what do you all do?" Alex asked.

"Well, Zach here does the torture center. Well, it's not really; we just do little things and gradually go up when they are ready. It doesn't hurt them. And Sabina does the physical training. Like boot camps. And I do the mastermind planning." Sarah explained.

"What am I going to do?" Alex asked once again.

"You are going to have the fun job!" Zach said sarcastically.

"You're just jealous that you didn't get to do this." Sabina pointed out.

"Alex, you get to run the obstacle courses." Sarah said answering his question.

"Like jumping through hulla-hoops?" Alex asked.

"You'll see."

A few kids walked in when Alex was there. Alex would be teaching the kids how to get through obstacles without getting killed. There were 3 boys and 2 girls.

"Alright, I'm Alex and I'll be teaching you to get through a number of obstacles without getting yourselves killed. Now you better listen because I don't know how to sew heads back on. Let's start out with your names. You first." Alex pointed to a girl.

"Jessica."

"Matt."

"Colby."

"Lauren."

"Nick."

"Alright, here is your first task. I want Jessica and Colby to go through that tunnel and meet me and the others on the other side. I have a microphone to give you tips and will be announced on the intercom. Remember, there are countless possibilities." Alex walked out and around the tunnel with the others.

"Ready?" Jessica asked.

"Always." Colby smiled and walked off.

"No! You are thinking to small! Think of the unthinkable!" Alex was saying over the intercom.

"Well if it's the unthinkable than how are we supposed to think of it!" Jessica yelled.

Colby shook his head in amusement. "Let's just get through this." He said and kept going.

Colby and Jessica came through the end of the tunnel, dirty and out of breath.

"Not bad. Could be better." Alex commented. "Alright! Tomorrow 2 more will go. Off to bed!"

Alex walked down the path to the Counselor room, meeting up with Zach on the way.

"Hey Rider! How was your training?"

"Well, they are nothing like me. No where as good, but they are getting there. You?" Alex replied.

"Uh. So-so. Guess it was alright. But some of the stuff is complete rubbish." Zach said. "So, what is up with you Sarah and Sabina?"

Alex took a deep breath. "Well, Sabina and I twice were together. Sarah well. I was on a mission and she was used to get me to get what someone else wanted. That was only about a month ago."

That night, everyone had gone to bed but Alex. He was sitting outside, lying in the grass looking up at the stars. "Hey you." Sarah said coming out.

Alex replied with a, "Hello."

Sarah sat down next to him and pulled her knees to her chest. "Wondering why I'm here aren't you?"

"Yes." He said.

"My dad, he was always fine when I was growing up. It only started to happen about a month before you came. I was getting along fine, until I saw les of him, and more of my uncle. And then soon, well it was you. Then they contacted me and threatened to kill me if I didn't lead you to them. So that I did. Got a bit crazy didn't it?" She said and gave a little laugh.

"Still doesn't explain why you are here." Alex pointed out.

"It doesn't does it? Well, I showed off my skills in mastermind, when I had you wrapped around my little finger. I knew too much, and now I work here!" She said.

"I assume that's almost the same for Sabina. Knowing too much. And she's determined, and…" Alex drifted off into thought of Sabina and smiled.

"You know she still talks about you? During that month's time period, she was heartbroken. It's not like she meant to leave you. She had to Alex." She saw the look an Alex's face. "Well, I'm not the one to be talking to about this eh? But just one thing, absence makes the heart grow fonder." She got up and walked back to her cabin.

"Sarah?" Alex said. "I think you will make a great agent."

Sarah smiled and closed the door.
