I do NOT own "Alex Rider", much as I want to.
Chapter 2
K-unit looked around the 'bank' quietly. Wolf, Eagle, Snake, and Scorpion had been called in from rest suddenly, told that no one else could do the mission. Spinning around suddenly when a voice behind them said, "Here for a new account?" The code. Eagle blurted out, "Fox!" Raising an eyebrow, the familiar man said simply, "Follow me please," and headed for the elevator.
Fox groaned to himself as he saw who the unit was. What he had seen from Alex wasn't good, and with a unit who bullied him and made his life hell? He had to hope they wouldn't continue.
Wolf sighed as he followed his old teammate. While he was happy to see him, he wasn't sure Fox was the same. But why? And what was their mission? Was, "We're here." The MI6 man interrupted his thoughts, knocking on the door to his left. "Come in." A voice could be heard from inside. Silently, K-unit followed Fox through the door.
Snake glanced around as he entered the office. It was plain, with only a TV, desk, a few chairs, and bookcase. Then, the medic riveted his eyes on the man behind the desk. He was a thin, balding man. According his desk plate, his name was Crawley. But that couldn't be right. Only the highest agents saw him for their missions. What was going on? Realizing that he was starting to talk, Snake paid attention.
"You have been summoned here for a long, hard mission." Holding a file, the deputy head of MI6 continued, "And now I will read it to you. Please, no questions till the end. We have a time limit." Opening the file, Crawley read aloud, "Mission Rider."
