Thanks for all the epic reviews! :D
So sorry for the long time to update, but I was busy at the weekend and I had loads of homework yesterday :( But here's the next chapter! Enjoy and please review!
When Alex woke, the first thing he saw was darkness. He blinked, wondering if he had, in fact, opened his eyes. He tried to grope around, but his hands were in chains. He was chained up against something behind him and he was slumped to the side but he couldn't find the energy to get up.
After a minute or two he became aware he wasn't alone in the room. Male voices found their ways into Alex's ears.
"Any idea how to get out now?" one voice asked.
"For the last time, Vulture, NO!" the sudden shout made Alex tense involuntarily. He hoped the men didn't notice; He didn't know if they were friends or foes yet, or if they were blindfolded, like him. He sat as still as possible, begging they hadn't seen his slip.
There was a silence while Alex mentally kicked himself for being so stupid. He listened hard, trying to figure out if they had seen him or not.
"What do you-?" The whispered voice was cut off.
"Err... Kid? You awake?" a gruff voiced asked. Alex presumed the question was aimed at him.
He sighed. There was no point in keeping up the act any longer.
"Yes." He sat up and groaned when the pain of his numerous beatings hit him.
"You okay?" a seemingly concerned voice asked.
"Yes. I'm fine." Alex told them stubbornly. "Is anyone else blindfolded?"
"Us four aren't, but there's an unconscious guy in the corner who has a cloth bag over his head. You do, too."
Alex nodded. "Okay, so who are you guys?"
"We're with the SAS." Alex's heart skipped a beat.
"K-Unit?" He asked, not sure what he hoped the answer would be.
"No, N-Unit. How do you know K-Unit?" A different voice asked.
"Errr..." Alex thought. Damn! He couldn't say he knew who they were without revealing he trained there for a while, and that would raise too many questions. Then he remembered where they were, and that it really didn't matter.
"I trained with the SAS for a while a few months ago," he said hesitantly.
"Why? How old are you?"
"I'm 14. My dad sent me there to 'toughen me up' while he was away on a business trip and my mum decided to go with him. The Unit I stayed with was K-Unit." He hated lying about his parents.
There were muttered 'oh's from the four men and Alex gritted his teeth, slightly disappointed they believed his story. He tried to move to a more comfortable position but grunted, biting his lip to muffle the sound.
There was silence from N-Unit.
"Sooo... What are your codenames?"
"I'm Bear, I'm the leader, and there's Vulture, the youngest and dumbest-"
"Hey!"
"And there's Leopard, he's the navigator, and Tiger. He's the medic. What was your codename?"
"Cub."
Sorry for the dumb ending but my mum says I have to go to bed now :/ (It's only half ten!) But... yeah.
Next chapter will be up ASAP :)
