Chapter 3

"Right I need to go and pick Cub up!" Wolf called to the rest of the unit. Amelia was sat on Eagle's bed after a long, hard day of training, she was enjoying it though.

"There's five of you?" she said.

"Well… four and a half." They all laughed loudly, but Amelia didn't get the joke. "Yeah, there's five of us, but Cub only come every now and again.""

Amelia started to imagine what Cub looked like: not a tall as the others, smart, blue eyes, browny hair and about twenty years old.

By the time she had a clear picture in her head; Wolf had gone to ask the sergeant to leave and pick up Alex. Once he had got permission, he left in the jeep, for the four hour journey. There wasn't a lot of traffic on the way to Chelsea in London.

He finally got there and it was about ten to twelve, just in time, he got out, he was dressed in his civvies, wearing jeans and a scruffy top. He rang the doorbell; it was Jack who answered.

"Oh, hi,"

"Hello, Ms. Starbright. Is Alex ready to go?"

"Yeah, he's in the lounge." She called him and he came to the door with his backpack hoisted on his back.

"You got something for the journey?"

"Nope, just go and get something, he shoved the bag to Wolf, who took it with ease.

Alex ran upstairs and grabbed his DS and games that had the different properties to them, also some real games as well.

"Ready, "

"Let's go then!" they both got in the front and drove off. During the journey back to the Brecon Beacons there was little conversation, but that was what they both liked. Alex played numerous games on the way up and also had managed to get some sleep too.

At last they had got to the Brecon Beacons and the sergeant came to meet them as they arrived.

"Welcome Cub," he said. Alex nodded and pulled out his backpack out of the back.

"Need a hand?" it was Eagle.

"No thanks, I can manage."

"Wolf, Alex and Eagle walked back to the barracks and it was there he met Amelia.

"Hello, who are you?"

"I might ask you the same question." She had a slight Welsh accent and she looked amazed as he walked in. "are you Cub?"

"I sure am, and you?"

"Amelia." She told him. "I imagined you to be older."

"Most people do here." He put his rucksack on the bed and sat down in front of it.

"How old are you?"

"Fifteen, you don't look that old either, how old are you?"
