Disclaimer: I don't own the character's; Alex, Mr.Blunt and Mrs Jones however most of the other's will probably be my own.
Chapter 1
Alex had done what Lisa had said to do; he got a taxi from the airport and went straight to Headquarters and up to Alan Blunt.
At that very moment, Alex was sitting in front of him and Mrs. Jones.
Alan Blunt was reading the letter that Lisa had given Alex back in Australia. His fingers seemed to be almost trembling and for the first time ever, Alex saw real anger distort the grey man's features. Mrs Jones was looking at the letter as well but instead of anger she just harboured a frown.
After a moment she looked away and shook her head. " This is most worrying…" She muttered to herself.
Mr. Blunt scanned the letter again and eventually he threw it on the desk as he leaned back in his chair, he sighed and rubbed his forehead.
" What are you going to do, Alan?" She asked and she sounded a bit worried.
When Mr. Blunt didn't answer, Alex decided that it was an opportune moment to speak.
" What's going on?" He asked and for a moment, he was sure that he wasn't going to get an answer. But eventually Mrs. Jones enlightened him.
" The woman who collected you isn't a MI6 agent. In fact, she is almost what you could call the enemy. She's a professional mercenary, a very dangerous one who is known as Grey Fox and it appears she knows more about us than we'd find comfortable." Alex took this information in but then considered something.
" If she's the enemy, why did she help me? She could have killed me easily."
Mr. Blunt answered this time. " She wanted to prove that she knew where we are situated. No doubt she had one of her friends to follow you, just so the rest of her world would know that she was telling the truth when she announced it." He sighed in frustration and ran his hand through his thinning hair.
" What will happen now that she knows where we are?" Alex asked looking between Mrs Jones and Mr Blunt. Although Alan Blunt didn't want to answer anymore and so he stood up and walked over to the window, his back to the room.
Mrs Jones looked at Alex with a look that tried to be reassuring. " I wouldn't worry too much, Alex. MI6 and Grey Fox have dealt together a lot of times and unless she has been hired by someone to destroy us, I don't think we have anything to worry about. But I'd say that you can leave now, Alex, you must be exhausted, I'll send for a taxi to drop you home."
A few minutes later Mrs Jones and Mr Blunt were in the office alone.
" What do you plan to do about Grey Fox?" Mrs Jones asked him. Mr Blunt didn't turn away from the window as he answered. " I don't think that anything I do would be any help. God knows that Grey Fox is one of the most stubborn people in the world, not to mention determined. You know as well as I do that if she's planning something there's nothing that we can do."
" You may have to meet with her." Mrs Jones said quietly, almost hoping that Alan didn't hear her. But he did and he turned around to face her. He laughed coldly and without humour. " I'd rather die." He said as he looked at her squarely.
She shot him a look of annoyance. " You know, you may do if you don't take some course of action. Grey Fox is dangerous and she hates you. You know she wants revenge for what happened; it would just be plain idiotic to presume that she's not going to do something that will end up in your death. Find out what's going on, Alan. You of all people should know that it's dangerous to underestimate her." With that, Mrs Jones left the room and left Mr. Blunt to his own thoughts. He walked back over to his desk and as his frustration reached its peak, he threw his fists on the desk so hard he made the wood bounce. By all means, Grey Fox should have been dead; all the odds had been stacked against her, even her own birth was a struggle for survival, but she had done it and against all the odds she was now the predator, the top of the food chain and now, as Mrs Jones had stressed, she appeared to be out for revenge.
