AN: I just wanted to thank everyone who added me to their favourite authors/stories lists. Also thank you to everyone who reviewed or added me to their alerts. This means a lot to me. Because of all of you I started writing this chapter the same day I published the first chapter. Also sorry, there were line breaks in the first chapter that didn't show up so the story looks squashed with no spacing.
As Alex stepped into the room everyone fell silent. As Alex walked over to his cot, he could feel K-Unit's eyes on him. No one said anything as he walked up to the empty bed. Thankfully his bed was next to the new member's rather than Wolf's.
"Hi, my name's Tiger" Alex heard the new member tell him. Alex smirked.
"My name's Cub. I'm thinking you knew that already though." Alex told Tiger. After that Tiger quickly left to play poker with the rest of K-unit.
Alex started unpacking what little he had brought with him. He put his toiletries in a small bag that was then placed slightly under his bed. He then pushed his pack that contained his clothes and a few more weapons under his bed.
Alex looked around at everyone else's beds and side tables. At Tiger's there was a picture of an elder woman and two men about Tiger's height and looks, his mother and brothers, Alex surmised. At Wolf's there were two pictures, one of him with Fox, Snake, and Eagle. The other picture was one of a pretty brunette, his girlfriend probably. At Snake's there too was a picture and in it were two girls, three boys, a man, and a woman who all looked vaguely looked like him. Alex guessed that they were his family.
"Don't you have any pictures of your family?" A low voice with a Scottish lilt called out towards him. Alex turned around to face Snake. Getting his first proper look at the other members of the unit since he walked in, Alex was surprised to see that Snake and Eagle eyes didn't hold anger, resentment or even pity. Snake and Eagle's eyes held curiosity.
"No." Alex answered quickly before turning around. Firstly, Alex didn't want to tell any of the men anything about him without a good reason. Secondly, Alex had no wish to look in the general direction of Wolf, this was due to Alex knowing that Wolf definitely still didn't like him. Alex doubted that Wolf even knew what was going on in Point Blanc. Alex's third reason for not wanting to continue talking about family was that he didn't want to bring up memories of Jack being murdered, or Sabina and her family dying before they had even gotten on the plane to America, or Yassen being shot, or Agents Turner and Troy being impaled, or Ian dying, or even his parents crashing.
"Hey! Are you even listening?" Alex heard Eagle shout at him.
"Yes, I am, I just didn't see the need to answer." Alex shot back. Alex was paying attention, he always paid attention to what was going on. In the business of spying if you don't pay attention you wouldn't survive.
"What did I say then?" Eagle asked him, annoyed at his answer.
"You said that tomorrow I have to go through multiple tests. You also said that later this month at some undisclosed time we will have RTI." Alex told him, smirking.
"Well… Okay, you're right." Eagle deflated as he told Alex. All lines of
"It's dinner time now, so we should leave." Tiger announced, a bad attempt to break the ice.
Alex decided to skip dinner, he decided that he would be better off without the stares and whispers of the other soldiers. Instead of going to the mess hall he decided to go get ready for bed.
Alex picked up his bag and slung it over his shoulder before stalking off to the bathroom that all the soldiers used.
Alex slid into a stall after checking that no one was in the bathroom.
Alex pulled his shirt off. He then unclipped the range of ammo that was wrapped around his stomach. Alex then slid off the belt that held two knives, this was worn around his chest. Alex pulled his pants off and started removing the two PPS Silent Pistols strapped to his thighs before pulling off the other two guns of the same kind from the straps on the sides of his legs. Alex pulled the PP-2000 off his back. Alex knew that the amount of weapons he had might be considered a bit extreme but it was better to be safe than sorry.
Alex grabbed a pistol before getting under the cold stream of water. After five minutes Alex got out of the shower. Shivering, he wrapped his towel around himself. Alex quickly got changed into a t-shirt and boxers. Due to the small amount of clothes he was wearing he only strapped one pistol to his body and kept one small roll of ammo. Alex was never truly without weapons. Alex made sure of it.
AN: What should happen in the next chapter? I have an idea, but I would like your opinions.
Thanks.
