Al?

Scropia. What did they want? What were they doing here? Thousands of things were running through Alex's mind and none of them were good. He knew he was in danger if he let himself be seen. I'm sure one of his old class/training mates would love to be the person to break the death penalty.

Alex shank back against the wall. Hiding himself n the shadows. He wanted to run, get away from the panic that was building up inside him. But curiosity was filling him. He wanted to know why they were here of all places. Crawly wasn't around so he couldn't bother or tell him what to do. It wasn't as if he could make a run off it. If he was seen he would be shoot and no he didn't want to try his luck again.

From his shady spot he couldn't make out what was being said so slowly he edged closer. Straining his ears he managed to catch the Scottish accent out from the rest. He was desperate to know why Gordon and his friend were go far from home. It wasn't hard to hear him once Alex was hear. His voice stuck out against the laid back ozzies. The brown haired woman, sounding American, from what Alex could guess, seemed to be complaining.

"Rose!" The Scottish snapped. "Its not like I planned to be babysitting either but orders are orders and I'd rather be paid not killed." He slammed down the boot of the rusty car.

Alex could hear what was said next as the car drove off, he caught something about a kid but that was all. He let out a small gasp and pushed himself against the wall. He was sure the driver had looked at him, but with sunglasses on it was hard to tell.

"But Gordon" Rose muttered, turning Alex's attention back to them. He was sure he had seen Rose before, she looked familiar but he didn't know where, but he knew he didn't know any one called Rose so he must not have met her. But then again he had no idea how many people were still working for Scropia.

"The plan is" Gordon cut her off "Get the Kid take it to the house, call the Boss and wait there for him to come" he said "simple!"

Alex didn't like what he heard it reminded him too much of how he got mixed up in Ark Angel, with Poor Paul. He pushed himself flat against the wall and held his breath as they walked past, just inches from him, yet they didn't turn to look at him, they were to busy talking.

Alex watched Gordon slip a photo out of his pocket and hand it to Rose. Alex couldn't see the photo, not with out giving himself away. But he could hear them talking clearly as they walked past.

"See" Gordon said, "Everything is on there Name and age etc."

"So I get to meet the Brat Al…"

"Alex!"

Both Gordon and Rose turned around wondering who had called out. Alex ducked down behind the news box, hiding himself from their view. He could see Crawly walking towards him and wished Gordon would leave.

Someone must have heard him wish as Gordon whispered something to Rose and both of them headed in to the airport, with a bag each.

"Alex?" Crawly asked stopping in front of him "What are you doing down there?"

Alex looked up "Sorting out my shoelace" he lied getting to his feet. "Are we going then?" he asked trying to change the subject.

Crawley just signed and nodded, "I will give your ticket and passport once we are sat down don't want you to lose them"

Alex said nothing; he didn't like being treated like a little kid. It didn't surprise him that they had his passport, it was more like what they didn't have.

"Are you coming?" Crawley asked from the doorway, holding it open.

Saying nothing Alex just followed. His mind was on other things.

A/N: Been so long (plz don't hit me) should have warned you that I would be updated for at least 3 weeks due to going on holiday. But being this late is not my fault. You can blame United as they lost my case with my note pad in (had to wait ages). But don't worry I wrote a lot whist on holiday, its just a matter of typing it all up.
