"Stand by...Stand by...Go!"
Both teens rushed off. They went under and over the bars together, keeping together, and then they got to the monkey bars. Kitten jumped up, but couldn't reach them. Cub took her by the waist and lifted her up; she grabbed the bars and swung herself across the other eight bars, dropping her self to the ground once she got there. Cub wasn't far behind; he'd been able to get himself up after plenty of practice. Kitten had already started making her way up the A-frame and Cub quickly caught her up. They reached the top. Cub could hear that Amelia was slightly out of breath.
"You ok?" He asked. She nodded her response. She hauled herself over the top, but her foot missed the rope, she started to fall, but Cub caught her just in time by her wrist and Kitten quickly got her feet back on the ropes and made her way down, Cub following her.
"Thank you," She said and Alex smiled. They crawled as fast as possible through the tunnel and they the reached the 6ft wall.
"I'll go first, can you push me up so I can grab the top and then I'll help you up from the top." Alex suggested.
"Ok." She stood behind him and lifted him up enough so he could reach the top. He straddled the wall for more support before he lifted Kitten up.
Kitten jumped and he grabbed her arms and pulled her to the top of the wall, jumping down simultaneously, they made a sprint to the finish line.
Both stopped and bent over, hands on their knees and panting slightly. They heard an exclamation from the Corporal in charge of the time, they looked up.
"Gosh! Four minutes and two seconds, you've just beaten them lot."
Both teenagers look at each other and smiled.
They went over to the rest of K-Unit.
"So...?" Questioned Fox.
"So what?"
"What was your time, idiot."
"Oh... Four minutes, two seconds." Alex grinned. He heard a chuckle from Amelia, from the look of shock on the soldiers faces.
"You're joking. Tell us the real time."
"That was the real time," Amelia stated.
"Oh," the soldiers went quiet.
The headed back tot he billet for a shower. Amelia going next door to grab her stuff, leaving K-Unit and Cub alone.
"You should ask her out man! I've seen the way she looks at you and you to her!" Eagle told him, the sort of thing he'd say.
"No! She's two years younger than me and something's telling me not to." He old him referring to his conscience.
"Fine, your call." Eagle said, before going to the ablutions to grab a shower before the ht water ran out.
When Alex left the billet he saw Amelia and ran to catch up with her.
"So Fox tells me you're looking for your brother." She nodded, shifting her issued towel to the other hand.
"What's his name?"
"Alex." Alex frowned slightly, 'is this just a coincidence?' He wondered.
"What does he look like?"
"Well, he's got blond hair and brown eyes. Tall, athletic, well at least he looks it in the photos I've seen." She looked at him. "Come to think of it he looks like you." She paused. "Shit!"
"What?"
"You're Alex, Alex John Rider!"
"Yes." Alex was still confused. They had stopped walking.
"You're my missing brother..."
