AN: Please read and review. Sorry for the long wait… and sorry for the crappy chapter. I wrote it in my pedagogy and math class. I noticed it had been such a long time since I updated last time so here it is. Tell me if you hate it and I will rewrite it when I get some more time.

********************************Story*************************

Yassen starred shocked down on Alex. That was unexpected. In Yassens mind there had been no doubt that Alex was either insane or pretending to be. He had no idea that Alex had hit this stage. Alex had explained that, he was pretending at the beginning, but then he had started to feel something slipping and now he could no longer control when he slipped. The way Yassen understood it, Alex was on the brink of insanity and he was slipping fast.

Now, this was not necessarily a bad thing, Alex's state of insanity was no danger to himself or others, unless the others threatened Alex's loved ones.

It had taken him almost an hour to calm Alex down, and he was now sleeping peacefully in the bedroom. Yassen now, had a few problems to deal with. He had to deal with MI6, his record, whoever it was that were after Alex, and find Alex's father.

The easiest one would be to deal with the insects after Alex. It was obvious someone related to a man killed because he failed to kill Alex, but who? After the eagle strike incident he had lost Alex for a while and because of this he had no idea who had tried to kill Alex before he found him again when he came home from dealing with the snakehead. Because of this he knew that SCORPIA had not retaliated on Alex for his part in Yu's death. This in itself was weird, but Yassen interpreted from this that Alex had dealt with them on an earlier basis. If Yassen where to figure this out without asking Alex, It would take too long, so he decided to just wait.

That left him with dealing with his record, finding Alex's biological father and making MI6 leave Alex alone. His record could wait, but the MI6 business was urgent.

Blunt could not believe it. They had lost both Gregorovitch and Rider. Yassen Gregorovitch had been served to them on a platter and they had lost him. Even worse was that he had taken with him the insane, but most brilliant spy in the world.

Blunt was wakened from his stupor when someone knocked on the door. He walked slowly to his desk and told them to come in. He watched the three soldiers and one spy as they entered. He really hoped for all their sakes that his plan would work. Because if Alex Rider was turned against them, they would all be doomed.

"Sir?" Wolf asked. They had been told to come without actually being told why. The only thing they knew was that they had to retrieve someone they already knew. At first they had believed it to be fox, but when they had showed up, Fox was waiting for them in the waiting room, and he too was confused as to why they had been called there.

In truth Fox, had his suspicions as to why. He had heard the rumors about what had happened. He knew that Alex had disappeared after being brought to the HQ with the number one assassin Yassen Gregorovitch. Because of this he really hoped he was wrong.

"Ah, Yes. K-unit and agent Daniels. I have a mission for you." Blunt said, staring at the men, wondering whether or not they would understand, the great importance of the mission he was giving them. "Alex Rider was kidnapped by Yassen Gregorovitch." He stated and saw the shock and confusion spreading over the men's faces.

"Excuse me sir, who is Alex Rider?" Eagle asked. Snake nodded in the background. Blunt huffed,

"You used to know him as Cub I think it was." They all gaped.

"The kid? The little kid was kidnapped by one of the best assassins in the word?" Blunt just nodded.

Fox bit back his comment. IF that part of the rumors was right, then it was probably also true that he was kidnapped from the very room they were standing in.

"Do we have his location, Sir?" he asked though clenched teeth. The other soldiers started to pay attention again.

"We have an approximate location. We need you to go there and look for him, but you should be careful, it Rider is alive then Gregorovitch will be nearby." The soldiers nodded and Blunt dismissed them.

When they were gone he went over to the window again. It all rested on their shoulders now.

While Alex were sleeping, Yassen had gone through a lot of trouble letting MI6 knowing where they were. Now he was just sitting in their room playing chess with Alex and waiting. He had told Alex about his plan. He was going to agree to help or give MI6 some information in exchange for them to erase his record. If that did not work, he would do something else, but he did not feel it was proper to tell Alex about that. He was after all trying to protect Alex's innocence not ruin it further. He smiled down at Alex, he would probably find it funny though, at least if he was in his less than sane period.
