Okay wow guys, I am flattered by the amount of viewers. I have people in India, Argentina, the Phillipines, and Ireland reading this, and those are just a few of the countries!
I'm entirely open to ideas, but Alex's time at Hell is ending in this chapter.
Don't worry there will definitely be more of Jack, Tom, and Sabina, but for now that's all I'm saying.
How are the lengths of my chapters? Too long, too short?
By the way, in the last chapter when I said that hell lived up to its nickname over the next few days, that should have been over the next few weeks.
Disclaimer: Yep, Lord Voldemort Apparated into my bedroom and gave me the rights to Alex Rider. Right before Bellatrix Lestrange killed me, and then Harry visited me n the underworld. No, I don't own Alex Rider. Duh.
Chapter 4
Last time- *Cub is part of K-Unit," Ben snapped. "Anyone who wants to hurt or harass him has to go through us." The rest of K-Unit nodded. "Plus," Ben continued. "His dad and uncle were Dragon and Coyote, and he's just as good if not better than they were." You could have heard a pin drop.*
Alex's jaw dropped open as he realized that the names meant something. These people knew his father and his uncle! But...how did Ben and K-Unit know this?
Just then, Wolf turned towards Alex. "This is what the sergeant told us the other day," he said quietly. "After the obstacle course, and because of this, you've definitely earned our respect, and hopefully the respect of the other units as well." Heads started nodding all over the room.
"Cub," one of Kangaroo's unit-mates, Koala, said. "Your father and uncle trained with K-Unit, back when K-Unit was first formed. They were the best soldiers to ever train at Brecon Beacons."
"And they would be extremely proud of you," Snake said. "You're certainly living up to their standards, which are extremely high."
"I still think he shouldn't be here," Kangaroo scoffed. "No matter who his family is, he's a little boy who has no idea what he's doing. He forgot to get the flag during the obstacle course, and then blamed me! ME!"
"He had good reason to," the sergeant said sternly. "Kangaroo, you're forgetting that we have cameras everywhere. I watched the whole obstacle course, and despite being slowed down considerably by you, he still finished in first place."
"I, but sir, you-b-bu-but I," Kangaroo stammered, obviously out of his element. The sergeant cut him off with a hand motion. "In case you still don't believe that a mere boy can be better than you and everyone else here- and trust me, I had a hard time wrapping my head around it too- why don't you let him prove himself on the shooting range?"
Kangaroo agreed that this would be fair, not knowing how good of a shot Alex was. In a matter of minutes, he outshot everyone, including himself and the sergeant, with three different types of guns. While the soldiers clapped, awestruck, he mock-bowed to Kangaroo. "Don't worry, I'll be here all week," Alex grinned.
"Uh, actually Al-, I mean Cub," Ben cut in. "I just received a message from Mrs. Jones, and we have to leave now."
"We?" Alex raised an eyebrow. "Who exactly is we?"
"Us," Ben stated simply. "Mrs. Jones thought it would be, well, prudent is the word she used, to send me with you. You have a rather bad habit of getting caught while on your missions, and I don't. She also thought that you might need adult supervision."
"Adult supervision?" Alex repeated. "I'm sixteen, not six."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, back up," Eagle interjected. "You're SIXTEEN?"
"That's what I said," Alex replied dryly. "Would you like a hearing aid?" Eagle's eyes widened as he realized that he, the sharpshooter of K-Unit, had just been bested by a sixteen-year-old boy.
Ben laughed at the expression on his unit-mate's face. "If it helps your self-esteem, he's MI6's highest-ranking agent," he offered.
Ok I'm really sorry this is so short but I'm tired and I have school tomorrow. I promise chapter 5 will be longer. Chapter 5 should be up by Saturday, but hopefully sooner I just don't want to make promises i can't keep. Thanks for your support! I know this isn't my best writing and I think some characters are a little bit ooc but again I'm tired. Technically this is up by Thursday, there are about five mutes until it's officially Thursday. Yawn. If you want more of a specific character, PM me or review if you dont have an account. Ok I really need to go to bed now good night!
