AN: Sorry for the long wait, please Read and review, i am really interested in your opinion.

Alex just stood there watching the cellphone for a long time. He was unsure of how he really felt about what Yassen had told him. It took what seemed like an eternity before he started heading back to the playground. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he barely noticed anything as he walked along the narrow path. He passed a few people, who gave him weird looks, but he couldn't really blame them, he was after all humming Rule Britannia.

If he had been paying more attention he might not have been taken by surprise, stunned and carried of, but as it where, he was.

Pain, Pain, it was the first thing he felt when he regained consciousness. He knew where he was even before he opened his eyes. He wasn't very angry, he was more annoyed at the fact that they had done it again. He couldn't understand why they didn't just ask him to come in, sure he bitched about it, said no and all that, but in the end he always came in. he really could see no reason as to why they had to drug him. He opened his eyes and growled at Blunt.

"Ah, I see that you are awake, just in time, we don't have all day." Blunt said in his monotone voice. Alex glared at him, had Blunt been someone else, he surely would have run for his life, but as he was him, he just hid the shivers and stayed put.

"What do you want Blunt, You told me you would leave me alone." He growled through almost clenched teeth. Not that he really had believed them, but it was all about the point. They had after all promised to leave him alone until he sought them out.

He pressed a hand to his eyes, the light and with walls where hurting his over sensitive eyes. He wondered why they did this, use a drug that made people hurt so much after, it was a quite known fact that if you were in pain, you would be in a bad mood and that would make you much less likely to comply. Then again MI6 was not the smartest of group.

Blunt just stood there for a while looking down on the fragile looking boy. It was quite strange that a boy that small, that fragile looking could be so strong and could make such a difference. He knew nobody really believed it, but he did have feelings and he did regret what he had done to this child, but he believed it was all for the greater good.

Alex giggled, the cell he had stolen vibrated in his pocket he took it up and saw that it was "the boss" he answered it, completely ignoring the look on Blunts face and said in a false low voice. "I kind of forgot to give the phone back, I'll give it to him later." He was about to hang up, but Yassen's voice stopped him.

"Are you at MI6's headquarters Little Alex," Yassen asked him quietly, he only received a hum as answer, but he understood. "Just pretend to hang up and put the phone in your pocket Alex." Alex giggled again.

This was going to be fun. Helping Yassen, annoying Blunt and he got to have fun. What a great day.

Alan Blunt was at a loss. He did not know what he was going to do. He had heard the rumors about Alex and that he had become insane, but he had not believed it. Now he was standing there looking straight at the prof. one moment he was completely serious and now he was laying there giggling and humming. He watched him hang up and put the phone back before he decided to just get it over with and send him back, he did really not want to deal with an insane Rider, they where hard enough to deal with when they were sane.

"Alex, we have received intelligence..." he didn't get farther then that.

"Really, when, all of you. Are you all smart now or just normal level?" Alex babbled on excitedly and Yassen almost fell apart laughing. He really enjoyed this insane Alex.

Blunt felt his eyes start twitching. This was going to be a long day he thought. "As i was saying. We have received intelligence that Yassen Gregorovitch has entered England and lastly seen he was heading for London." He drew a breath and looked over at the kid. He was just sitting there head leaning slightly to the side and he was jet again humming.

"Wow..." Blunt felt his hopes rise, maybe he had gotten it. "That's shiny..." Blunt almost swore.

"Pay attention. Yassen Gregorovitch is heading to London and we believe he is after your blood." Alec blanched a little.

"Is he a vampire?" This time he actually swore. "Dang it Alex. We believe he wants to kill you." Alex starred at him for a long time and when awareness filled his eyes Blunt dared to hope he had finally made him understand. But it was not to be. "It would have been cooler if you had said he was a vampire, they are cool, but I suppose Yassen is cool too. "

Blunt wanted to cry, he called his guards and made them take Alex home. He felt really old and tired. He wondered if he could survive this new and less sane Rider.
