"We don't know his name or where he comes from"
"He was found at the side of the road and we have no idea how he ended up with al those cuts and burses."
Alex turned over it wasn't too obvious that they where talking about him. From what he could see behind the badly patterned curtain he guessed he was in hospital. His clothes from the Ark Angel mission lay folded on the wooded chair next to his overly blanketed bed, which Alex was laying on dressed in dark blue checked pyjamas. He heard the squeezing of shoes on a newly polished floor stop outside his curtain. He turned to see a black haired lady step in pulling the curtain shut behind her.
"Good morning" she said trying to spread a stiff smile across her wrinkled face "you were lucky one of the doctors found you" she said speaking clearly and slowly as if Alex was only a small child. A red clipboard rested in her knee as she sat down on the wood chair moving Alex's clothes under the bed. "I hope you don't mind but there is a few things we need to clear up."
Questions, Alex thought why must I always answer questions. Alex just nodded showing that he was ready to be battered with a load of enquiries. At first the questions seemed to be easy, you name and where did you come from and how did you get there. Alex had to make up a story about being on a boat, hoping they weren't going to press in to the questions. The Lady, Margot her white name badge read, then started on more serious questions like how did you get those cuts and burses and when you obtain that scar. Alex made more stories up, but the look from Margot's face made him wonder if she believed him; but it was better than saying he was a teenage spy and had gotten in to a number of fights and been shot only a couple of months back; that she wouldn't have believed.
It was ages before she had finally left Alex in peace. He flipped though the glossy magazine, which he found in the draw next to his bed, wondering how he was going to get home. He wasn't sure if Jack was back from visiting her parents in Washington yet or not and he wasn't to seen on giving M16 a phone call, not that he knew there number anyway it wasn't going to be in the local phone book.
The ward was quiet expect for the occasional squeezing of shoes on the polished floor. He chucked the magazine to the end of the bed board of the photos of celebrities and there problems. Yawning he rolled over and thought about how he was going to get home.

Margot sat in her small cluttered office, clicking away at the computer trying to find any thing on Alex, which would match what he had told her. So far she wasn't having much luck and had to keep flicking through the notes she had made when she had talked with him. She hadn't found out much leaving half of what Alex had said a mystery.

A computer beeped and a message box appeared flashing on the glowing computer screen. A small suited man read the message before picking up the phone and speed dialling a number.
"Sir" the man said in to the telephone "I think someone may have found him" The man listened to the voice for a while before putting down the phone. Loosening his tie he clicked on the flashing link, telling him that someone in Australia was searching for Information about Alex Rider.
