After all that waiting I thought you deserved a long one, but don't expect another of such length.

Chapter One

7 years later….

Alex turned around his mouth opening to ask if any one had any questions and he froze for a split second before asking, a few hands rose in to the air after a few second and he promptly answered them. He turned back to the board and showed a few more examples before the bell rang.

He watched the three men in the back as the college students filtered out some of them glancing oddly at the three men in black suits.

Alex leaned against his desk and glanced at them.

"Is there something I can do for you gentlemen?"

"Alexander Malfoy."

Alex shook his head. "My name is Steven Clareik (Claire-Ik) I am afraid you have the wrong class room."

"Don't try to deny it, we've been watching you for a few days now. Your brother has been very worried about you."

Alex stood. "Look, I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about."

He strolled over to one of the many windows, he had left them open since it had been hot earlier and only the thin screens were there.

"Now if you wouldn't mind, I have papers to grade." Said Alex turning away from them slightly but still keeping them in his sight.

The men started to move forward.

Alex jumped through the window, the screen broke and he was air born before colliding painfully with the pavement.

He was up though and moving before any of the students could help him.

He pushed his way through the students the three men right behind him and Alex was pretty sure he had seen tazers in their hands.

As soon as he broke the crowd he started running and made sure he wasn't going in a direct line so as to not be an easy target.

Alex turned a corner and plunged into a sea of students taking their lunch break. He slipped behind a bush and watched as the three men came racing around the corner. He crouched down low as they began looking through the crowd for him.

They began to circle the crowd and Alex noticed more suits arriving.

Alex spotted one of his students near by.

"Jeremy!" He hissed urgently, the young men glanced up and around for a moment before he caught sight of Alex.

He raised a brow but Alex just beckoned him over.

Jeremy crouched down behind the bushes with him.

"What's up Professor?"

"I need to borrow your jacket hat and sunglasses Jeremy, don't ask questions just do it. I'll get them back to you later." Said Alex.

Jeremy frowned but nodded and removed said articles of clothing.

Alex quickly shed his own jacket and tie and unbuttoned his dress shirt before pulling on Jeremy's jacket and pulling the hat down low over his face, he pushed the sun glasses on to his face.

"Jeremy do you think you can cause a distraction or something." Asked Alex.

Jeremy eyed him for a moment.

"Sure, but what's going on."

"Um… it's complicated Jeremy." Said Alex quickly.

Jeremy looked disappointed but nodded.

"Just give me curve would ya."

Alex smiled and nodded, Jeremy rushed back in to the crowd.

It only took a minute for him to get to his friends and get them to play along as he caused a scene.

Alex grinned and slipped away.

He jogged towards the buss stop and sank in to the awaiting bench, he let out a breach of relief.

A rather firm object was suddenly pressing against his back.

"Don't move."

Alex stiffened.

The sound of a click could be heard and Alex new he was speaking through a Walkie Talkie.

"I got him."

"Good, make sure he doesn't escape."

Alex took a breath

"Don't move Alex, I don't want to carry you in less I have to."

Alex forced him self to relax. "I don't suppose I could convince you to let me go Blaise."

"I don't have a death wish Alex." Said Blaise

Alex could hear footsteps coming there way.

Blaise placed a hand on Alex's shoulder. "Stand up, slowly."

Alex stood making sure to make no sudden movements.

The suits moved forward and Alex noticed a bunch of students had followed them, Alex grinned. College students were well known for their curiosity and for jumping to conclusions.

Alex raised his voice and his hands. "Look, I'll pay you the money soon, please he said I had a few more days." Said Alex sounding very frightened.

Blaise looked surprised and confused before he noticed the students.

"You Idiots!" He hissed, the students were already calling the police and watching them carefully with a bit of excitement.

He grabbed Alex tightly by the shirt.

He motioned to the students. "Get rid of them, and where is the blasted car."

A Black car at that moment slid around the corner and screeched to a halt in front of them.

Blaise opened the door.

"Get in." He ruffle tried to shove Alex into the car.

Alex suddenly let out a cry and collapsed as if he'd been hit.

Blaise cursed, the sea of students began to move some screaming and running away thinking Alex had been killed other's surging forward to help him.

All in all it got very messy the students fighting with the suits till the coppers showed up.

Alex managed to scramble out of the fray but was stopped by the coppers.

As he was being placed in the police car he turned and smiled at Blaise who was being questioned ruffle by the officer, Blaise just glared at him.

Blaise suddenly smirked and said something to the officer.

Alex frowned as the officer turned and glanced at him before continuing to talk to Blaise who was still smirking.

MMMMMMM

Alex scowled as he sat in the jet his hands handcuffed to the chair.

He should not have underestimated the Malfoy influence, a quick bribe was all it took.

All of the suits were relaxing in the jet some drinking or eating while others played cards. Alex knew all of them, and they knew him. They had protected him as a child and then chased him around the world when he ran away. At each attempt to catch him they had gotten closer and Alex cursed him self for getting too relaxed in the school.

Blaise walked forward and tossed a bag on to the table, Alex recognized it as his emergency bag that he carried around with him always. He had left it under his desk.

Blaise opened it and spilled the contents on to the table.

Alex grimaced as Blaise picked through his personal belongs.

There were some photos of him and his family, a change of clothes, a couple thousand pounds, a handgun, his bible, and his laptop. Blaise shook his head at the gun and opened the lap top.

Blaise sighed and glanced at Alex. "What's the password?"

Alex just smirked and looked away.

Blaise handed the lap top to Mat who was their known hacker.

"See what you can do."

Blaise left then came back carrying a few sandwiches and a soda, he placed them in front of Alex and removed one of the handcuffs.

"Have you been starving your self, your skinner then I remember." Said Blaise.

Alex shrugged and dug in to the sandwich. "Running burns a lot of calories."

Blaise smiled, he'd missed the runt. All of them had, it had been hell when he left. Mrs. Malfoy cried for days. Mr. Malfoy glared at any one in sight and got filthy drunk, and Draco… he kind of just went all cold… after he broke everything in sight.

"Draco has been worried about you."

"I was fine Blaise, I was happy. I didn't want them to have to pay just because I didn't join the business."

Blaise lowered his voice even though there was no need for him to.

"You didn't have to join the business Alex, you could have-."

Alex cut him off.

"Run a club, become a lawyer, no matter what I became Blaise if I was connected to my family I would have to help the business. Running away and starting my own life with out it over my head seemed the best option."

Blaise sighed and re-cuffed his hand.

"You broke their hearts Alex, their going to take you to the boss and he's going to decide what's to be done with you."

"I didn't betray any one Blaise, I told no one." Hissed Alex.

Blaise nodded. "I know, but you have to convince Him of that."

Alex felt the jet beginning to descend.

It was show time

MMMMMMMM

The car ride to the house was completely silent.

Alex had to keep from breaking out into a cold sweat as they stepped out of the car and into the house.

He knew he was in for it when they entered Lucius office.

Lucius didn't even look at him when they entered, he just continued looking over papers on his desk. Blaise pushed him in to a seat.

Blaise and two others stayed in the room.

Lucius looked up finally.

He leaned back in his chair and studied Alex.

"You've hidden quiet a lot from us Alex, I'm impressed."

Lucius moved from behind his desk and leaned against it facing Alex.

"What I don't understand is why you felt the need to hide your genius from us!"

Alex shifted in the chair and let a puzzled slightly confused expression cross his face.

"Genius?"

Lucius smirked and tossed the file he had been looking through onto Alex lap. Inside was a detailed report of everything Alex had done in the years he had been hiding, … well almost everything.

"A doctor in Africa, lawyer in America, club owner in Scotland, restaurant owner in France, and Math Professor at a very elite college in the US, and those are just the ones that we were able to track down. It is also clear that you're an accomplished hacker, now Alex I am about to go before my boss and I would like you to tell me how I am going to explain to him how you hid this from me!"

"You could lie." Said Alex calmly.

Lucius laughed. "You don't lie to him Alex, no one does. No, I won't lie to him. In fact I think I'll let you explain yourself to him."

Alex eyes widened.

"You can't be serious!"

Lucius frowned. "You made this mess Alex, now you get to clean it up."

Alex sat quietly for a moment.

"Where's Draco."

Lucius looked up, his features softened as he remembered this was his son. Narcissa's little angel that use to crawl in to bed with them or Draco when he got scared at night.

Lucius sighed. "He's waiting in your room."

Alex looked up. "Father, … I never meant to hurt you or the family. I just didn't want to become part of this."

Lucius nodded. "I know, but there is nothing to be done about it now. Why don't you go get cleaned up and see to Draco."

A smile tugged at Lucius lips. "He's missed you a lot Alex, all of us have."

Alex shakily nodded.

The handcuffs had been taken off, but three body guards surrounded him until he reached his room. They took up a post at his door.

Alex was instantly pulled into a bone crushing hug then soundly back handed across the face then hugged again.

"You utter idiot! You stupid, stupid idiot."

Muttered Draco as he continued to hug him.

Alex smiled and relaxed ignoring his stinging cheek, he was pretty sure he deserved it after what he'd done to the family.

Draco finally pulled back and took a look at him. "You've lost weight, and what are you wearing?"

Alex laughed. "You haven't changed a bit Dray."

Draco's eyes became soft and he ran a hand across the light scruff that adorned Alex's face.

"And you've changed quiet a bit from the little boy I use to toss over my shoulder."

Alex gave him a half hearted smile.

Draco sighed and looked away, he grabbed some clothes from the closet and tossed them onto the bed.

"Take a shower and shave, then put these on. You have half and hour." Said Draco taking a seat on the bed and glancing at his watch.

Alex's eyes narrowed, but he marched into the bathroom.

10 minutes later he came out showered, but still with the light bit of scruff on his face.

He was also still in his old clothes.

"Draco I am not going."

Draco rolled his eyes and stood. "Your not a child any more Alex, you don't have much choice. Now put the clothes on. "Said Draco tossing the clothes at Alex who caught them then tossed them on the floor. He stood there glaring at Draco arms crossed over his chest.

Draco raised a brow. "You really want to try this with me Alex."

Alex didn't budge.

Draco suddenly leapt forward and tackled Alex to the ground, he straddled him and effectively held him to the ground.

"BLAISE!"

Blaise and the other two suits entered.

Alex was pulled to his feet by the two muscler suits and held there.

"Now Alex we can do this the hard way or the easy way."

Alex scowled at him.

Draco sighed. "Alright, but you asked for it."

What followed was a very brutal struggle as they easily stripped Alex of his clothes leaving him in only his boxers.

Draco gazed at many new scars adorning Alex body that he had no idea what caused them, he glanced at Alex face and saw that some of the fight was draining out of him.

It was easier going from there on and they got him in to the clothes. He was handcuffed again and about to be led out of the room.

"Wait, Draco can you grab me some sunglasses."

Draco raised a brow but handed Alex a pair which he quickly slipped on.

Draco just shook his head and they walked down stairs.

Narcissa was there, with a cry and a sob she flung her self at Alex pulling him in to a hug.

She whispered in his ear. "Please don't do anything stupid chipmunk."

Alex nodded with a weak smile and was then lead to the car were Lucius was waiting.

He was seated between Blaise and Draco, Lucius sat shot gun.

The ride was long and quiet, it would have seemed sacrilegious to say anything, but eventually they reached their destination.

It was a rather large estate out in the country with security surrounding it yet not obviously.

Draco pulled him out of the car and walked him up the stairs his hand around Alex bicep in case he had any ideas, Blaise stood to his left while Lucius walked ahead. The guards from the second car took up the rear.

They walked in to the foyer were a smartly dressed young women was waiting she nodded then turned and led them into a large study, the guards stayed in the foyer.

Behind the astonishingly expensive desk sat the most powerful man in the underground, Tom Riddle.

He did not seem to have changed since the last time Alex had seen him, a bit of grey now speckled his brow and a few more lines, but as most men do he was aging very well.

He reclined slightly in his chair while sizing Alex up. "Sit" it was not a request.

Draco pushed Alex into the chair directly in the center before taking a seat to his left, Lucius sat on his right and Blaise remained at the door.

Tom stared at him, and Alex shifted slightly in his seat.

"What do you think I should do with you Alex?" Said Tom.

"What?"

"Should I kill you?" Both Draco and Lucius stiffened. "Use you, or ignore you. These choices have been buzzing about my head like pesky flies. Now I obviously can't ignore you and your rather astonishing abilities so that leaves killing you, or using you, and I doubt Narcissa" He glanced at Draco. "Or any of the Malfoy family for that matter would ever forgive me if I killed you. So tell me. How can I use you since I obviously can't trust you?"

"You can't, but you can let me go." Whispered Alex.

Tom smiled. "I'm afraid I can't do that."

He glanced at Lucius. "Lucius, you've been loyal to me for many years, and I don't doubt that you would do almost anything for me, even die for me, but I need you to do something much harder. I need you to give up a son."

"I thought you said you wouldn't kill him!" Said Draco.

"I'm not, I'm going to train him, and to do that I need him to stay here with me." Said Tom in a calm tone.

"No!" Hissed Alex, his teeth clenched and fists balled.

"Right now, you don't have a lot of say in this matter." Said Tom.

"This is my life!" yelled Alex. "You can't just dictate how I live it! I'm twenty years old and there is no way in hell I'm going to let my self be kept captive by some mad man with a superiority complex!"

Tom stood from his chair the same time that Draco grabbed Alex's arm to keep him from standing as well and to hopefully shut him up.

Coolly Tom walked around the desk, he waved Draco's restraining hand away and leaned in placing his hands on the arms of the chair.

His voice was quiet and deadly. "I think you'll change your mind."

"Never!"

Alex gasped as Tom's hand closed around his throat and he grabbed Tom's wrist while trying to squirm away, but Tom's other hand had a vice like grip on his shoulder.

Draco shifted forward fearfully then froze as Tom's gaze glanced over at him practically ordering that he stay seated before turning his attention back to Alex who was still gasping for hair and struggling.

"You are not in control here Alex! I am!" He squeezed a little tighter. "I could kill you if I wanted right now, but luckily for you I don't want to."

He removed his hands and leaned back against his desk as Alex gasped and coughed for air while rubbing his neck.

Tom turned his gaze from Alex and on to Lucius. "You and Draco may leave now Lucius."

Blaise opened the door.

Lucius stood and shakily Draco followed while glancing at Alex who stared back with fear skittering in his eyes.

Lucius headed for the door. "Come on Draco."

Draco hesitated. "But?!..."

"Father!" Lucius turned and Alex stared straight into him begging him not to leave him there.

Hurriedly Lucius pushed Draco out the open door, that Blaise had stepped out side of, and left pulling the door closed behind him.
