Chapter 2

Alex was unusually glad to be going to train with K Unit for the week. He had had a row with jack over Alex going back to MI6, and now was pleased to be getting away from it. He had a present and a card for Eagle as it was his 21st birthday on the Wednesday. He guessed there wasn't going to be much of a party because they were all on active duty. He was going on Saturday afternoon, but decided to pack the night before. He packed absolutely everything he needed, last time he forgot something he had been threatened to be binned.

At last he was packed and ready to go. His big, heavy rucksack nearly was breaking at the straps although he was strong enough to carry it on his back without a problem. He went downstairs to watch the TV, placing his bag by the door first. He sat on the opposite sofa to Jack; he still had a grudge against her. So, even if MI6 was blackmailing him to go on missions he strangely wanted to go back. He couldn't work out why he felt so strongly about going, it was like a conscience talking to him.

"I'm going tomorrow afternoon, Wolf's picking me up." Alex told Jack grumpily.

"Fine!" she didn't care what Alex did anymore. Normally she would have made a big fuss.

When the film the were watching finished, Alex got up and went upstairs to his bedroom, got ready for bed and climbed in. He lay there for what seemed like hours, staring at the white ceiling. The argument replaying in his head over and over again. Eventually he fell asleep.

When morning came sunlight was streaming through the curtains. He woke up and dragged himself slowly out of bed, it was ten o'clock, and Wolf would be picking him up at twelve on the dot. He decided he would have a shower as there was going to be little chance next week. After he'd had a refreshing shower, shampooing his hair with Jack's new Summer Coconut Shampoo, he got changed into some comfortable clothes, knowing he would have to change as soon as he got there.
