Jack fussed at the new threat. "They should be able to give us 24 hour protection," she complained.
"MI6 can't do much against Scorpia. To take any drastic action they'd have to get permission from a lot of people," explained Alex.
Jack face-planted into the sofa. It was her favorite way of expressing frustration.

The next day, the doorbell rang as they were getting ready for school.
Alex knew it had to be someone they knew, because the doorbell was fingerprint sensitive. if anyone who pressed it had their fingerprint programmed into the machine, it would make a different sound to if somebody normal pressed it.
Sure enough, K unit and Ben were at the doorstep.

"What amazes me," said Alex as he let them in, "is how often you get leave from the SAS."
"Oh, psh," said Snake. "All Ben has to do is flash his MI6 ID at them and we're free!"
"Anyway," said Ben. "We heard about the SatInt images of the underground crypt. We got clearance to check it out."
"We wanted to see if you wanted to come," said Eagle, bouncing up and down excitedly.
Alexandra raised an eyebrow. "You make it sound like a playdate."
"And anyway, if Blunt wanted us to go, wouldn't he have just asked us yesterday?" asked Alex.
"Blunt, well, he, uh…"
"He thought we'd say yes to you without a second thought." Alex shook his head. "Typical."
"Well, I was curious about the bones, but I didn't think we'd actually go…" Alexandra said thoughtfully.
"Don't you dare!" screeched Jack. "I won't have you risk your lives if you don't have to!"
"Oh, um… Blunt said if you didn't, he'd tweak Tom's parents' court case…"
Ben stopped talking and looked up. Both twins were doing their terrifying-cheetah-eyes face that could scare the living shit out of Zeljan Kurst himself.
"We're going, Jack," said Alexandra.
"And nothing you can do will stop us," added Alex.

They called in to school. Alexandra – she was more comfortable with talking to people than Alex – called the front office and asked for Mr. Grey.
"We have to do something for MI6 – sorry? Oh yes. Can you explain to Miss Bedfordshire? Thanks. Bye."
She put the phone back down.
"He's worried. About us, I mean."
"He's a nice guy."
"Alex! Get your jacket! It's cold in Croatia this time of year!" Jack was running down the stairs.
Alex rolled his eyes.

Is this unrealistic? I have a truckload of HW to do so this is pretty quick. Review and tell me if I should change it. :)
