A/N: Sorry the chapter was a bit delayed... Hope you enjoy. This is rather a short chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Alex Rider.
You said what?
"Oh, I see." Jack Starbright said. " So that's how you know each other."
Alex stared up at the ceiling. He'd never noticed how many dots there were on the ceiling.
Meanwhile, Wolf or Rupert was staring down at the carpet. He'd never noticed that the carpet was made out of polyester.
"That's it." Jack's voice concluded.
Alex and Rupert looked up(in Rupert's case) and looked down(in Alex's case).
"You're going to spend some time together.."
"But-!" Alex and Rupert began to protest in unison.
".. Alone." Jack finished.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Alex and Rupert screamed.
"But Jack! You said that you wouldn't marry him if I didn't like him!" Alex yelled.
"You said what?" Rupert demanded.
"I.. er.." Jack said, flustered.
"You said that you'd get rid of the kid, if I didn't like him!" Rupert snapped.
"You said what?" Alex shouted. Jack had actually said that?
"I.. Er.. Well." Jack trembled. "All right! So I lied! You're still going to spend time together!"
Before they could say anything, Jack shoved them towards the front door, opening it, while pushing them outside.
"Have fun!"
Alex and Rupert looked at each other.
They looked away.
Dear Rupert looked as if he was about to cry.
Alex looked as if he was about to break something.
Fun was the last thing they were going to have.
As always, review are appreciated:D
