SORRY IT TOOK SOOOOOOOOOOO LONG. ALL THT DAMMM HOMEWORK AKA COUSEWORK FROM THE ENGLISH TEACHER. THANKS FOR ALL THE REVEIWS BUT KEEP THEM COMING. WELL THIS IS THE CHAPTER WHERE IT ALL COMES TOGETHER. WELL THIS ONE AND THE NEXT ONE MOST LIKELY. HOPE YOU LIKE IT.
Sarov watched the two head towards the stables, with hope in his eyes.
Alex had surprized him. He hadnt tryed to escape and seemed reasonably relaxed around him. He just hoped that this was Alex way of responding with the longed yes to having , finally, the father he soo desired.
Yassen also seemed to have a big impact. There had been no slip ups in security; Alex and him got on well enough and his prices were reasonable at the least. Sarov just hoped it would last and that he also got something out of it.
His laptop beeped and he tore his gaze away from Alex.
THe plans had been arranged and this time in 3 months Sarov would be the russian president and Alex would be his son and everything he ever wanted would comence.
-oxoxoxo-
Alex stared horrified at Yassen. Who in turn seemed amused.
THey never spoke. Just watched each other for the long minutes that passed.
Alex begun to back off. His body trembling with rage. Anger. Disagreement. It couldnt be true but the assissian never lied. Alex knew that. Yet his dad wasnt his mentor . His dad wasnt the bad guy. Never.
"NO, no no" He back off even more. Yassen was lying. "Just dont Yassen"
Yassen looked at the boy in sympathy. Something he'd never felt for a long time.
"Alex, listen i dont lie. Its your choice weather to believe it or not but i do not lie. I knew your father and he was a great man. My mentor and yes he worked for a crimimal organization and yes he did kill but your somewhat different. You have the hard look in your eyes and the determination. You are just like your father but different. You want to escape and learn more than come with me. Back to SCORPIA , you'll learn all you need to know and finally escape from eveyone. MI6 and Sarov."
How could Alex compete with that. He always wanted to know about his father.
He always wanted to be his father. THe patriot.
Now Alex knew different. His father wasnt the good guy.
"You have one thing right Yassen. Its my choice to believe you or not and I'm not believing that. If i'm soo alike with my father then i know that he was'nt the bad guy. Just...never.." Alex head was spinning. Confuzement. Shock. Terror. Hope.
"Well Alex. You'll never know." And With that Yassen hoped upon a horse and took off. Alex could only follow. Jumping up on his smaller grey horse and he set off after YASSEN.
He caught up with Yassen easily and they trotted in silence.
THis was the first time Alex could get a clear piture of his surrondings. They were in the open countryside. Nothing like he had exspected. There was a slight breeze and it was warm. They were out in the open and then it hit Alex. Yassen mentoined escape well he was his escape. THey were out in the open in the middle of no-where and There was only Yassen to safe guard him. He could ride off and never be seen again. He go home and him and Jack would run from MI6. But at the same time he didnt want to.
Yassen was first to speak.
"Alex? you may not beleive me but I'm here to help you. I couldnt let Sarov kill you. Yes i killed your uncle and now i'm telling you that your father was my mentor but tell me whats on your mind. It could help you with your decisions" Slowly he was pushing Alex back towards him.
Alex turned to Yassen and he sighed.
"Why dont i believe you but deep down have to believe you. It in my nature to escape but i dont want to. You tell my my father was evil but i...believe you."
Yassen silently smiled to himself. Alex was taking the bait and slowly coming closer towards Yassen and then his mission would be complete. Retrieve Alex RIder. TEEnager Spy. Soon to be teenage assissain.
-oxoxox-
At exsactly 1900 hours , K-unit were set and about to infiltrate Targets location and retrieve the young agent. Alex Rider.
Wolf was leading the operation along with fox, a team member but also a MI6 agent himself, they had exsactly fifteen minutes to break in , find Rider and be out again for pick up at the safe zone.
Wolf entered the compound followed by fox. Eagle and Snake had took a different enterance and where to infiltrate at a different point and search the upper half of the compound while he and fox searched the lower half's.
Silently they approched the house. Armed and ready , keeping towards the shadows. The whole operation was to be done without communacation.
Wolf had observed that there wasnt very many guards but he had a high security compound that almost seemed impossible. But they were the SAS and they were on a mission. THey meant buisness.
-oxoxoxox-
Julie Rotherman sat at the head of the table silently watching the other board memebers with intreast.
"Alex Rider? John Riders son?" The short stubby one asked.
"Yes Rider. He is currently working for MI6 or should i say being blackmailed into it. I sent one of my best to fetch him. It came to me attention that Rider could be a great assest to the team and what with his track record we could benifit deeply" Julie responded.
"How so?"
"Well Alex is trained in many forms. He is fluent in many languages and easily persuedable. He wants to learn about his father and most likely MI6 werent going to give him that." She leaned forward " What i am saying is that Alex could become one of our greatest weapons. He's young and could easily be useful on many missions. No-one would suspect him. With the right help and careful measures Rider will be... Very useful"
She sat back and smiled. Her job was done and now it only depended on Yassen and if he could get Rider to co-operate.
-oxoxoxoxo-
Yassen and Alex rode back in complete silence. Each other slowly getting lost in thought.
Alex looked over at Yassen and he sighed. He didnt know waht to beleive anymore and the russian had made it quite clear that his father was infact a criminal. And he knew that Yassne wouldn't give up on that fact.
"What about mam? Did she know that he was a crimimal? Did she know?"
Yassen aruply stopped and turned to Alex
"She knew...some of it. I met her on several occasions. She was a...nice women by far and reflected your father very much. I respected her just as much." But between this lie he knew that it was a lie. He cheated his mentor.
"Well at least he never lied to her" They carried on towards the house.
The countryside was beautiful but was spoiled by he security measures took.
"I want to know more about my father." Alex spilled and faced the assissian. " I want to be like him but not like him. I need to know more."
Yassen smiled to himself. His misson was completed. All he needed to do now was get Alex safely delievered to SCORPIA without Sarov interferring. well Sarov had trusted him enough to look after Alex so that was the easy part.

Breaking in was easier than exspected. THere wasnt many guards posted around the compound but there was plenty of cctv.
Wolf and Fox stayed to the shadows of the buildings and trees and entered the house through the back door.
The hall they now stood in was pretty large and open and there was only 3 cameras posted. Each making a 8 second swept of their area. That gave them 8 seconds to make it through the hall without being detected.
Wolf turn to Fox and nodded.
They waited till the first camera made it turn and rushed through the hall keeping close to the walls under the camera so that they would have a better chance of not being detected.
Once they made it past the camera's they needed to look for agent Rider they had been given a breif details of the boy. His height and age and hair colour and that was about it. Well there wasnt going to be many kids hanging around here. Was they?
They searched most of the doors they came to. All were empty and there seemed to be no sign of any guards. But that all changes when two guards rounded the corner. Guns ready and armed.
Fox acted quickly and pulled Wolf into an alcove. It wouldnt give them cover but time to strike them as they passed and avoid noise.
A few seconds passed and the guards didnt pass. And wolf was having a hard time remaining still. THey were wasting time. Valuable time that they needed to find the Rider kid. How long had gone already? 5 minutes? 10? more? They couldnt fail this. THis was there chance to work up the ranks and not be the weakest unit in training and it was foxes fault. He was making him stay here adn waste the time they had. There was no sound of the guards they could just make a break for it but no Fox wanted to wait.
"Fox?" Wolf hissed annoyed.
"shhhh" was his only replie. Fox stuck his head out let out a small laugh. "Well thats one way to do it."
Wolf surprized as he was followed suit and found that the guards lay uncontious and a smug Eagle leaned causually against the wall.
"I wondered where you two were. Come on. They'll wake up soon and alert someone." A surprized looking Fox and Wolf followed the smug Eagle through a maze of corridors.
-0x0x0x-
Sarov soon caught up to Yassen and Alex and was surprised at Alex's new attitude. He seemed to be very quite and lost in deep thoughts and it worried Sarov. He knew that Alex was close to becoming his son and unwanted thoughts was the last thing he needed.
He waved for Yassen to leave. Yassen shared a quick look with Alex and nodded and left.
Alex and Sarov walked back towards the compound in complete silence. Non of the two knew what to say to each other.
One of Yassens men was waiting at the gate when they arrived back and asked for a private word, alone!, with Sarov. Sarov being Sarov nodded and once again left Alex. Alone.
Alex wondered back into the house and walked towards his room. He had alot to think about. like always. Yassen had said his father was a traitor to his nation and that Alex could be just like him. But why would he want to be? His dad most likely killed people. He wasnt a killer. Not never. Yet was yassen even telling te truth to begin with? No? Yes? He didnt know. He needed time but to Yassen they didnt seem to be time. He was rushing not like the Yassen he knew before. But also there was the fact that being around Yassen made him uneasy? Yes but deep down it was if he was meant to trust Yassen. This wasnt something he could help.
The silent walking of someone behind them caught Alex's attention and he tence ready to attack. The footsteps stopped anda Alex turned around and came face to face with Yassen himself and another man. Young and althletic build.
"Alex" Yassen nodded.
"Yassen?" Alex shot back agitated.
Yassen smiled at alex and cocked his head. "come its time."
"What! I never agreed to it. I need time." Alex argued.
"Yes. but we dont have time, Alex. Its a simply yes or no." The assissian looked on edge and nervous.
Alex could feel the sweat running down his back and it made him shiver. 'Make a descion' He argued with himself. But in all he couldnt. Yes there was his father. A man he never knew. But that was the point. A man he never knew and maybe dosent need to know about. He had Sarov offering so much more. He wasnt a bad man by far and seemed to only want to make Alex happy. Yes but he reminded him of his dead son. Not Alex Rider.
The choice: 'Learn about your father or have a father?'
Alex hesistated. Then nodded. "Fine." He looked past Yassen and sighed. He could just say no. Step up. "I'll come with you"
The assissian without warning grabbed Alex's wrist and dragged him towards the door at the end. Alex was about to protest but one cold grave stare told him otherwise.
When they reached the door ,Yassen turned to young man and muttered a something, most likely , in russian to him. He nodded and walked off. Smiling?
"What are you gonna do? Walk right threw the gates with me?"
"Yes" To Alex surprizment he let out a small laugh. Sarov wasnt gonna just let them walk out. Was he?
Yassen pulled Alex threw the doors and out into another set of corridoors. Ones Alex didnt reconize. Yet Alex didnt know much of the building to begin with. They hurridly walked through the maze until they final reached a metal door and thats when the alarm sounded.
Alex looked up at the assissian and it seemed to come as a complete surpize to him and he sweared under his breath multiply times.
-0x0x0x-
Wolf set off after fox at a brisk pace and that was his mistake. His foot snagged the fallen guard and in all of the confuzment it had stirred the guard. The guard never saw the intruders but knew there was some in the building and it was his job to didscover them and rid of them.
He saw his fallen ally and using common sence set the alarm off and alerted Sarov. His order: Find Rider and Perhaps Yassen and exited via the study. Simply. Nothing to it. Oh and Yeah shoot down the intruders. NO hesitation. Simply just like he said before.
Wolf heard the alarm sound and so did the others. That meant that they were on the run. Ths SAS on the run. Ha but time was now extremly tight and there was no sign of the Rider kid and in any time they'd be swarmed with Guards and well that wouldnt be good. No good what so ever...
-0x0x0x-
Yassen pulled Alex through the metal door and thats when Alex relised that they outside. The sun was betting down on Alex and the smell of rain was in the air. Yassen refuzed to let go of Alex as he dragged him through the yards. Alex saw few guards rushing about and Yet they paided no attenton to them as they made there way towards the gates at the front of the building. Alex only hoped now that they werent caught. Not by any guard but espiecally Sarov.
They were coming close to the gates when a loud crash behind Alex caught his attention. His swiveled to face the direction of the sound. The guards had cleared the yards and there at the far end stood four men. All military dreesed.
'Great MI6' Alex though to himself.
Yassen himself must have spotted the sight of Alex's attraction because he stood fixed on them to.
"Come Alex" He hissed.
Something in Alex clicked and as the four men drifted towards them there was something oddly fimilar about them. He distantly Knew them and they wanted him. Alex was well aware of shouting both from Yassen and the men running towards him. He was well aware of the pulling of his wrist but he wasnt bothered but to transfixed on the ever-closing figures.
He knew them. How could he not.
The men stood a few yards away and stared at Alex and he stared back.
They knew too.
"Wolf?"
"CUB?" ...
