Oh my god guys. Thank you so much for your positive reviews. They have inspired me so much to update this chapter as soon as possible. Unfortunately I just started the beginning of my new school year- year 10- and got my first boyfriend so I will be kinda busy. I will keep trying to update as much as possible but I make no promises. I am sorry that this is taking so long to update.

Last Chapter

I stood with my 3 unit members so we waited to see if anyone would shout out. Something was nagging at me as soon as I thought it. There was dead silence until my realisation hit me. We had 5 unit members!

"CUB!" I yelled not seeing him anywhere. Oh my god he must still be inside. I turned to look at my other unit members who were all wearing identical looks of horror.

I turned back to the burning building and took maybe 3 steps towards it when suddenly there was an explosion from the kitchen side of the building.

The building had exploded and Cub was still inside!!

BEN POV

Cub was gone. The left half of the building- the side where the kitchen was, had exploded. Debris rained erywhere. It was also hott, really hot. The left side of the building was gone but some of the right side of the bulding was blacked to a crisp but just barely standing. I didn't know where Cub had been when it exploded, but I doubted wherever it was that he would have survived. It was just so hot in there. Some people started talking about going in in suits to find him but I just stood there numbly, in disbelief. Cub was dead.

Snake and Eagle were on either side of me and I knew by the faces they were thinking along the same lines as me. They knew what had just happened. They knew how slim a chance there was that he'd survive.

Wolf was, surprisingly enough, leading the group planning a rescue. Though they all knew they could end up not finding Cub, just his body. They all were worried that when they found him he would be still, cold, unmoving. The light from his brown eyes gone, vanished without a trance. Many of them didn't know Cub personally, heck, some didn't even like him ,but they certainly ddin't want him to die. And at an SAS camp, where they should have been able to protect him, it would be an even sadder and dissappointing thing.

Soon the rescue team were asking for medics to go with them or give them information on wha to do if they found Cub alive. Snake, almost loving Cub I think, immediately went to go and give them as much info as possible, he wanted them to find him alive- and when theydid, they would need all the help they could get to help them.

Eagle and a few others went to find hoses so they could begin to extinguish the fire, but the rescue team knew that would take too long. They needed to get suits and get in there as soon as possible.

In a couple more minutes the Seargant came running down to the scene. He immediately told as many people as they could to go help Eagle and the others get hoses. He then proceeded to yell at the rescue team for their foolishness. He was not going to risk several men's lives for the sake of one's who was probably dead. What he didn't tell them was the he secretly admired what they were doing and wished he could do it himself. But he was right, he could not risk all those men's lives for Cub, no matter what MI6 had to say about it.

The rescue team were shouting their outrages- especially Wolf- and mutttering about the Sergeant under the breath. I didn't blame them, they should have been allowed to try and find Cub. I didn't want him to be dead, I wanted the luck of the Rider's, the boy on Dragon 9, on my side again. But I knew there was every chance I'd never hear him again. Never see those brown eyes flash when he knew something was wrong. And I prayed I was too.

Eagle came up to me having finished helping the others find some hoses. He saw me staring and I could tell he was sad too. But he didn't know Cub like he did. I loved Cub like a little brother and couldn't stand the thought of him hurt- let alone dead.

"We will find him mate, and we will help him. He is gonna be fine, I swear," Eagle said encouragingly patting my shoulder.

"How can you say that! The building exploded with Cub inside. Think about his chances and tell me you still think we will see him again!" I shouted at Eagle and began to storm off.

Just as I did I heard shouting behind me. I turned around to see someone run and jump-unsuited- into the burning building. It took me about two seconds flat to recognise who it was. Wolf. The same Wolf who had blamed Cub for all the bad luck that happened to him- the one who for the most part- been outright hostile to him- had just run into a buning building in the hopes of saving him.

Several others tred to go in after him but they were restrained by their fellow teammates. Wolf was inside alone and would have to fend for himself and possibly Cub if he wanted to get out alive!

WOLF POV

We had to save him. We had to. I don't care what anyone else thought but I would do everything in my power to save the brat. Sure he isn't my favourite person in the world. I don' even like him really. But I do feel protective of him. And if he was still alive I would save him.

Ben was standing some distance away, he seemed dazed, like he couldn't believe what had happened. He might have even been going into shock. Eagle was over with about 3 or 4 others trying to find hoses to try and quelche the flames. I was in charge of the rescue party.

"We need suits to get inside. He's been in there for 6 minutes already and I don't want him in there any longer," I barked at the rescue men. Almost immediately after I said it the Seargeant appeared bellowing that everyone was to stay clear.

"But Sir, Cub is in there. We HAVE to at least try to get to him," I said outraged that he would even consider just leaving Cub in there to die. Evidently everyone else agreed with me and started cursing under their breath or shouting like I did. Eventually the Seargeant went off to talk to the other instructors muttering under HIS breathe and shaking his head. At that moment, I hated him.

I heard shouting and turned my head to see it was Fox and Eagle. Eagle said something to Fox and put a reassuring ahnd on his shoulder. Fox shrugged it off and started yelling. He began to stalk off and that's when I lost it. I ran, ran into a burning building completely unprotected. Few tried to stop me but I shrugged them off. I had to do this. I had to save Cub.

Heat. It was all there was once I was inside the building. Just pure and intense heat. I had never felt anything like it before. It felt as though my skin was melting off, I could feel every hair on my body turn to a blackened crisp and wither away.

The place was in ruins. One side was completely wrecked, nothing more than a pile of blackened wood. If Cub was under there there was no way I would be able to reach him. He would probably already be dead. All that hot wood lying on top of him. I prayed he wasn't there.

On the other side the were tables everywhere. Many of them had been torn apart but many of them were still intact either splayed all over the room or turned over on the side. There was smoke everywhere and I knew I would have a hard time seeing Cub. The fact he was wearing his black tracksuit like he did every night would definitely not help me find him among the blackened area.

I began to push my way through the tables with my shirt over my mouth and nose. I got many splinters pushing ym way through the room but I was determined not to stop till I found Cub. I was near the bin when I saw two tables pushed together and something stirring ever so slightly, trapped in between them.

I immediately jumped over there and began trying to pry the two tables apart. I was sweating horribly now and coughing but I didn't stop. Once they were far enough apart I grabbed at the stirring thing and pulled it up. It was so light that at first I didn't think it could possibly be Cub. But then I got a better look at him and I saw Cub's brown eyes slowly flick open.

"CUB!!! Cub talk to me, say something anything," I shouted at him rocking him and shaking him to egt him to respond. But he didn't, he just stared up at nothing.

"Cub please, please say something. Please I need you to say something. Please be okay, don't do this to me, please Cub," I said and found moisture in my eyes. Still nothing and yet those eyes remained open. Fearing the worst I immediately pulled him close to me and picked him up. I kept him close to my body so I could protect him should anything collapse whil we were still inside. I would not let anything else get him.

It probably only took me a minute or so to reach a hole in the wall but it seemed so much longer. I was coughing and spluttering, my eyes watering as I staggered along, my grip on Cub never loosening, instead tightening with every step I took.

At last we were out and I was too weary to care. All I knew was that we were out and we were safe. The last thing I saw were the blury figures of soldiers running towards us and then my world went black.

BEN POV

He was in there for 7 minutes before he came stumbling out, black and with Cub, limp and still in his arms. During that hime I ddin't once worry about him, and for that I felt guilty. All I could think about was that he could find Cub. And if he ddi, maybe Cub could be saved.

So when Wolf came out all black and coughing violently, all I could look at was the small black, limp thing in his arms. It wasn't moving and I wasn't sure if he was alive, all I knew was that Wolf had found him, and I was so grateful for that.

Then when we began running to him and his collapsed send Cub rolling, I went over to Cub instead of him. Only Snake came with me to Cub. He had eyes open, but he was alive. He was dazed I think, because he was blinking but it was like he couldn't hear us.

We called for someone to run and grab two stretchers and when Wolf was declared okay all medics came to check on Cub. He had 2 major gashes of glass one in his leg and one in his hip that were bleeding a lot, small cuts and scrapes all over his body, burns on his back and sides amd severe smoke inhillation.

The medics were worried about Cub's dazedness and so the applied a fair amount of pressure to his leg wpund to get him unconscious. When the stretchers arrived Wolf and Cub were whisked up to the infirmary where Cub would have his leg and side stitched up and would be treated for the effects of being in a burning building as would Wolf.

There were to be no visitors or interruptions until one of the doctors said it was okay. I watched solemly with Snake and Eagle as our two unit memebers were carried away. All I could think at the time was- he's alive.

I am not happy with this chapter. I found it difficult to write and so I am not sure how it turned out. Please feel free to review and tell me what you think and I am sorry it took so long to update.
