Sorry I couldn't update earlier. ... Stupid bloody system error. If you can't update, I say... click like mad. It worked for me.

So, I get 5 reviews at 200 words each. That means 1000 plus 4 (cause I'm nice) words. You want more words, review. Who's excited? Anyways I just have a few things to say.

1. I know Alex is being a bit childish, but I think that although he is a spy, he still has his human/teenage part.

2. I have decided to make Laura different from all the other teenage female spies that a lot of authors invent. I notice that they all seem to be hot, attractive, smart, athletic, flirtatious and all round better than Alex. If Anthony wanted there to be a girl better than Alex, he would create one. That is why my OC, Laura, is very different. Sure, she is smart (to a point), can speak heaps of different languages, is good at karate, a fairly good spy and nice and all, but she isn't better than Alex who was raised as a spy and had it in his blood.

3. I like cheese.

4. I re-read Stormbreaker so I could remember what happened at training camp. I only own Stormbreaker, Point Blanc and the Skeleton Key books, so I have no idea what happens after those. This fic is set after Stormbreaker and before Eagle Strike but doesn't really have a time setting. I'd say he is fifteen in this fic, though.

5. For some reason I picture Wolf looking like Dean from Supernatural. I don't know why, though. Tell me what you guys think he looks like.

Alex's blood ran cold.

Standing at the door, were Eagle and Wolf. The same Eagle and Wolf who gave Alex Hell at training camp. The same Eagle who trod on his toes constantly. The same Wolf who trapped him in the 'Killing House' and caused him to put up with a severe headache from all the gases inside the horrible shack.

He was staying with them? He hardly doubted he would be able to fall asleep that night.

Eagle and Wolf walked straight past Alex to Laura. Eagle pulled out a first aid kit from under the sink and opened it. Inside were numerous bandages, ointments, booklets and other, random objects. Wolf led Laura over to the bath and asked her to sit on the edge. Jasmine was still holding her hair back. None of them noticed Alex after that, apart from Laura who had managed to grab hold of his hand and was squeezing it so hard, the circulation had almost stopped.

"Hold still," Alex whispered at her.

This grabbed Wolf's attention. "Cub?" Everybody snapped their heads to look at him.

"Wolf." Alex said the word with little or no emotion. He still had images of his training flashing through his mind. Laura was still squeezing his hand and Alex was starting to feel faint. "Eagle."

"Cub." Alex would have thought that Eagle would have used more hatred, but he said it rather nicely. What Alex didn't know, was both the elder men had changed since they last met, and they regretted ever hurting Alex.

"Eagle! That's his name, Alex. Cub? Ha, that is the funniest name I've ever heard." Laura burst into laughter. She continued until her head started to hurt. At least she had released Alex's hand.

"So, your name is Alex?" Eagle asked.

"Yes. And yours is...?"

"Jackson."

"And mine is Jasmine. Now come here you." Jasmine pulled Jackson out of the bathroom and into the corridor.

"Yuck!" Wolf and Laura said at the same time. Alex just chuckled.

"Look, Cub," Wolf turned to Alex, speaking slowly.

Alex didn't know what to expect. Laura was just confused.

"I've been meaning to say this for a while. Look, I'm sorry I was such a horrible person to you back at training camp. Will you forgive me?"

He looked extremely awkward. Alex didn't know what to say. Should he forgive him? Of course he should. If he was going to live with this man, it might as well be as friendly as possible between the two.

"Sure." His voice sounded very confident and...dare I say it...manly.

Laura's smile faltered. "Why do I always get left out?" she whined.

"Laura, where were you this morning?" Wolf asked, taking on a role of responsibility for the teenage girl.

"Oh, strike me blue. I swear I wanted to tell you. We went for a walk to a place. And that is how I got this." She pointed at her bandaged forehead. "Alex pushed me out of the way of a speeding car."

She beamed at Alex. He went a light shade of pink again. Wolf looked surprised.

"So, he is a hero, aye?" Laura nodded, but stopped when her head started to hurt.

They heard the faint ring of a telephone and somebody running to get it.

"Jasmine! It's for you!"

The three heard another person walk over to the phone and a whispered conversation. A few moments later, Eagle appeared at the door of the bathroom. He had a goofy smile on his face.

"I think it is somebody called Chalen Cunt. They need to talk to Jassie for some stupid reason. Probably about you, Laura," he added, before sitting next to her.

"Are you sure it wasn't a Baldwin Shunt?" she asked, frowning behind her bandage.

"Could have been." Alex shook his head.

Eventually, all the people in the bathroom wandered away to do their own thing. Wolf and Eagle went to finish some paper work while Laura and Alex had a look around. The apartment was very big and would challenge even the Rider mansion.

It had four bedrooms (so Jasmine and Jackson would have to share), a main bathroom and a toilet by the laundry, a family-sized lounge room, a large kitchen and dinning room and included three parking spaces. The wondered around for a while before meeting Eagle and Wolf in the lounge room.

Laura and Alex sat down on one of the bigger couches and talked quietly. Laura told him about how she grew up in the care of two spies who had never been able to spend time with her and left her with an aged karate instructor. She also told him about how they lived on a farm and she would always get to ride the horses and go ice skating with her best friend, Timothy.

"Is Jasmine off the phone yet, Eagle? I need to make a call," Wolf asked his mate. He nodded.

"Why don't I get an animal name?" Laura asked.

"You haven't asked for one."

"Oh."

Alex, Eagle and Wolf all expected her to ask for one. But, she didn't. She felt that it was a title to earn, not one to beg for. Before she even thought twice about asking, Laura was going to make sure she earned her name. It was only the right thing to do.

Wolf stood up and walked over to the phone by the kitchen as Jasmine walked back. She sat down in the couch across from Alex and Laura and sighed.

"I need to talk to you," she said. She looked very cautious.

Eagle stood up. "I'll leave you to it." He kissed Jasmine on the cheek and left the room. Alex and Laura stayed very still.

Alex was worried that something had happened to Jack. What if the plane had crashed? What if her father wouldn't talk to her? What if the assassin had something to do with it? He wouldn't be able to live with himself if something had happened.

"It's about your mission."

There we go. 1004 words. Remember guys, you want longer chapters; all you have to do is review. I don't mind if I don't get many, though. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. It'll only affect youse.

Ha-ha...youse. One of my teachers says that word all time. I guess it rubbed off.

Now, down to business. I have four vacant spots for people at Brookland School. You can choose between a pupil, a teacher, a parent or a sibling. They can be any gender and you decide what they look like. Most interesting will win. Don't forget to include:

Status e.g. Teacher

Gender e.g. Male

Appearance (hair, eyes, build) e.g. Brunette, blue eyes and very chubby.

Interesting fact e.g. Ex Porn Star

Ew...the things my mind come up with. I might actually use this character...hmm...

Anyways, get in fast because I'm updating soon. Don't forget to review.
