Chapter 2: K-unit's POV
K-unit had been ordered to protect some rich guy's kid. They knew there was something Mrs. Jones was hiding. She wouldn't send four military-intelligent men to just guard a snob of a scrawny, rich kid. Whatever it was, they knew they were going to find out soon.
Apparently they were going to pick the kid up from his mansion, drive him to the airport, and fly him across the pond. No problem, but they had better things to so.
The kid's name was Alex Rider and he was an orphan. His parents, uncle, godfather, and even the house's caretaker were all dead. This was probably the reason why he needed "protection" at the airport. Someone wanted him dead.
Wolf, Fox, Snake, and Eagle were waiting outside for nearly half an hour. They had ringed the doorbell at least ten times, and this Alex Rider hadn't shown his face. The truth seemed to dawn on them with every passing minute. They were too late.
The four of them picked the locks on the front door and silently crept inside the house. Snake was at the front of the line, holding a first-aid kit in one hand, and a gun in the other. Wolf was right behind him, scanning the room for any sign of movement. Coast was clear.
Just as they were half way across the room, Eagle stepped onto a strangely loose floorboard. Everyone froze, not daring to move. Wolf spotted some movement coming from the couch. It was none other than the boy known as Alex rider.
