Okay, okay, I know. I haven't updated in ages and you totally hate me now. BUT I'm in Disneyland and I got inspired, so here you go.
This is featuring, drumroll please... SABINA PLEASURE! Also, about two days passed since the last chapter.
Disclaimer: Well I'm flattered that you think I write like Anthony Horowitz, but I'm not.
Chapter 9
"AAAAAH!" Sabina Pleasure screamed at the top of her lungs and squeezed her eyes shut. A wave engulfed her as the log reached the bottom of Splash Mountain. It was spring break, and her parents had taken her to the happiest place on earth- Disneyland. As she climbed off the ride, she pulled her phone out and checked for any new messages. It had become a nervous habit over the past two days, after Alex had texted her not to get any new pets soon. When she'd asked why, he'd replied that he didn't have much time. He hadn't texted her since. "Mom, I'm going to the bathroom," she said, stuffing her phone back into her pocket.
Unfortunately for Sabina, the bathrooms were right next to the dumpsters. As she exited, holding her nose, she heard a banging noise echoing from the dumpsters. It sounded way too loud to be a cat trapped inside. She cautiously made her way over, unsure or what to expect. When Sabina opened the top, the boy that stared back at her was the last person she expected to see.
"Alex!?" she exclaimed. "What on earth are you doing here? I thought you had a mission, and besides you live in England, and why for heavens' sake were you hi-mnph!" The last part was because Alex had clapped his hand over her mouth before she said anything else.
"Shhhh!" He hissed, glancing around. "This IS my mission, Sab. I went to sleep two nights ago, and then I woke up here." He proceeded to fill her in on the Sharpes' plans.
"You woke up in the dumpsters?" Sabina asked, getting over the initial shock.
"Yeah," Alex said, pulling a banana peel out of his hair and looking around. "Where are we?"
"Disneyland," Sabina replied. "More specifically, in the dumpsters by Splash Mountain." Alex brushed himself off, climbing out of the dumpsters. "I can convince my parents to let me wander off by myself, because neither of them will want to go in roller coasters with me. We need to figure out a way to contact Ben and MI6!"
"Sab, this is the age of technology," Alex smirked. "I do have a cell phone, you know."
After a few phone calls, David managed to fill Alex in on why he didn't remember the past two days, and how he'd fallen asleep in Denmark and woken up in California. Apparently, the Sharpes had an enemy in the Indian secret service, and without realizing who he was, they'd kidnapped Alex and dumped him from a helicopter. David told him he was lucky the trash had broken his fall, and passed on an apology from his superiors, who hadn't known he was the infamous Alex Rider. Ben said he'd been worried sick, but that David had told him what happened. And Jillian told Alex that she and her brother currently had no idea who kidnapped him, but that they would be posting security guards outside his door.
When the helicopter arrived, Sabina was still with Alex. They'd made the most of their surroundings, going on the Tower of Terror 10 consecutive times. The two of them hadn't expected the Creators to arrive so soon, and they jumped several feet when Brynne spoke from behind them.
"And who is this?" She asked icily, arching an eyebrow at Alex. Sabina's eyes widened, and she gripped Alex's hand more tightly.
"This is Sabina," Alex said, realizing he'd now dragged his friend back into the spy business. "Sabina, this is Brynne."
"A pleasure," Brynne said, not sounding pleased at all. The way she emphasized the word pleasure made Alex wonder if she knew it was Sabina's last name. "Alex, we have to go. Will Sabrina be coming with us?"
"It's Sabina," Alex corrected her. "And no, she wo-"
"Yes, I will," Sabina said, her green eyes flashing. Alex looked at her in shock but didn't protest. Brynne smirked and gestured for them to follow her.
"This is the pilot speaking," Brynne's voice came over the intercom. "We'll be landing in Copenhagen, Denmark in roughly ten hours. You may now unbuckle your seat belts and move around the cabin." She then repeated these in Spanish, even though they were the only passengers and Alex was pretty sure Sabina didn't speak Spanish.
"Alex, I had to come," Sabina hissed. Alex held up a hand to silence her, then used his phone to check for bugs. Then he opened his texts and texted her.
Alex: There's a bug above us that can hear us but can't see us so we'll b fine if we txt
Sabina: K. Alex, I had to come ! I'm already in this I can't let u go alone. And they might suspect u, ur already a spy. They won't suspect me.
Alex: What about your parents?
Sabina: I was going 2 leave in a couple hrs 2 go 2 my friends house. I told my parents I left early and Anna that I had 2 cancel
Alex: you'd make a good spy
Sabina: no thx I'm fine
Alex: yeah I don't want 2 get u any farther in the spy business
"Everything all right back there?" the intercom crackled to life.
"Yeah, Sabina's sleeping," Alex called back. Sabina shot him a look, then put her head down on his lap and was snoring within seconds. Alex's lips twitched upwards as he reached for a blanket and draped it over her.
When they arrived, Sabina seemed unsurprised at the intimidating exterior of the compound, but she was shocked by the beautiful interior. Alex laughed at the expression on her face as she trailed behind him, gazing around. When they reached Alex's room, Brynne turned to Sabina with a look of distaste. "All right, Delina," she said. "I called ahead to get a room ready for you." Looking as though she expected a closet, Sabina crossed the hall to the door with her name on it. Her room was just as spacious as Alex's and Ben's, but more girly. The walls were a light pink, and there was a dresser with makeup and nail polish.
Sabina jumped up onto the bed and grinned at Alex; apparently she was already over her distrust of Brynne, who had disappeared from the doorway. "I could get used to this," she said.
Thankfully, there were no bugs in Sabina's room, and no new bugs had been added to Alex's in his absence. Alex introduced Sabina to David and Ben, both of whom liked her instantly. She whispered to Alex that David was cute, but of course, he had spy hearing, and heard her perfectly. His cheeks turned as red as his hair.
There! Chapters will come frequently now. Let me know if Sabina and Alex should date or just be friends. Or I could make her date David...
