A/N: I have no idea where this is going right now!

(Alex)

Are you serious? In front of me was four boxes. What's in them? I know this is the challenge I accepted, but isn't this a bit too... childish? Come on, it's like 'which hand is the penny in'. Question is, if I choose one what will be inside... Is there a right decision or are they all wrong? They never gave me an explanation to what I had to do, so what's my next move? Which one do I pick? If there is a right box, that means I have a twenty five percent chance of choosing correctly. Yet, what if there is no right one? What exactly does Jeremy want from me? Is this really just a test or is it something more? I picked up the second box on the left and opened the lid. Inside was a folded paper; I sat the box down and unfolded the paper. Suprisingly, there was one question on the paper: 2 young 2 die, Hunter? I stared at the paper for a few seconds, trying to determine what this really meant.

Jeremy walked to me and I gave him the paper, "Well, what is your answer?"

I did not hesitate, "You're never too young to die."

The man nodded his head and started walking away. Huh? One stupid question was my challenge? "Wait, that was my challenge?" Answering a question? A man like him has to have more up his sleeve than this.

He turned around, "Yeah. You chose box number two, which was the right choice. It also means I have no reason to test you. In otherwords, you passed."

I refused to believe it. The feeling of uneasiness was settling in my gut and I could not get rid of it. There is more to the challenge than this, I know there is.

Even I was confused at the so-called challenge Jeremy set up for Hunter. The kid has luck on his side, but I believe there is more to this situation than meets the eye. Why go to so much trouble just to get an answer to a question? When Jeremy walked by, he grinned, "That was a great answer to the question. He's been trained well, Yassen."

"Jeremy, care to fill me in on what you're planning on doing?" I asked, curious.

He smiled, "In time, Yassen. You were always so impatient."

Could I be right? If Alex is alive somehow, then where is he? Also, this new organization just appears right after Alex was supposedly killed... Things are just not adding up. If Alex is trying to live a normal life somewhere and that organization knows about it, then will they go after Alex? If I could find Alex, could I end all of this? I shook my head, Even if Alex is alive, there is nothing I can do. Besides, I could care less about MI6, I wish they were destroyed. Yet, why do I feel so wrong thinking about MI6's destruction? They sent my best friend to his death! They even blackmailed me into working for them! What do I do now? I'm so confused! What is anybody supposed to do in a situation like this?

I have worked alongside Blunt for years, but his decisions are really starting to make me uneasy. It has been ten minutes since Blunt sent the sargeant to get one of his most trusted units for the mission. A few minutes later, the sargeant returned with two units. "Blunt, these are my two most trusted units in the SAS."

"Yes, I am familiar with K-Unit. The other one, I am not." Blunt said, but I knew he was lying. He knew exactly which unit was standing in front of him.

One of the men stepped forward, "I'm Lion, leader of N-Unit, sir."

"N-Unit, K-Unit... I am sending you on a classified mission, you should have figured it out already." Blunt stated.

A member of N-Unit stepped forward, "This mission you're talking about... you're sending us to that organization, right? How do you even know where it is located?"

"You should not worry about that. The only thing you know is we're sending in both N-Unit and K-Unit as a team. Your success on this mission counts, so make sure there are no mistakes." Blunt pointed at Tom, "You are going into the organization to gather details on what we are facing while the rest of you are going to keep in contact with him. I do not care how you do it, just get it done. You will be shipped out tomorrow. Dismissed."

I was suprised that MI6 chose us to be in the mission, but I knew it was practically a suicidal one. Also, with Cheetah going in as the spy, there is bound to be mistakes made. So, why did they choose Cheetah to be the spy? I looked at the youngest member; he looked upset and worried. I put my hand on his shoulder, "Come on, Cheetah. Cheer up, you're not going onto the frontlines in a war."

"It feels like it." He replied, "I just don't know if I can do it. I'm nothing like Alex Rider, so what do they expect from me?"

I shrugged, "Who knows? You could even surpass this Alex kid if everything goes well and you keep focused."

"How can I keep focused when I know this is a suicide mission?" I asked. "If I make one mistake, then we're dead."

"Then you'll have us right there beside you to fix whatever mistake you have made, kid. We are a unit after all." I replied.

He finally smiled, "You just had to say something mushy like that, didn't you..."

(Tom)

I'm still not sure about this whole situation. If I make one mistake, the mission will be over. Why did they label me as their new spy; I mean, I knew it was coming, but for a mission this big... It just does not make any sense. And... whay Lion said about me surpassing Alex... it just can't be done. I'm not like him at all; I have no luck on my side or the guts to really go up against people like he did. Even though I'm afraid, I know I have to face this. I must stay focused. It's like what Alex told me once, 'You freeze, you hesitate, you die... but most importantly...'. If I'm unfocused, I die.
