Alex Is In The Hospital

by Amberlia

He woke up in a cell with a small lump underneath the skin of his forearm. Thrown back into the word of espionage once again, the stakes have been raised. MI6 has lost contact with him. In a secluded hospital seemingly in the middle of nowhere, Alex is on his own. A two-month rest period gone wrong, he is forced to play this dangerous cat and mouse game all by himself. ON HIATUS.

8. Jack Doesn't Flip Like Expected

A/N: Well, I know this chapter will be really short, but that's because I don't want you readers to read a whole block load of text. How boring is that? That's why I post chapters in short bursts here and there so it's not too overwhelming and all.

Disclaimer: Alex, sadly, does not belong to me.

Well, Jack was mad, but she didn't flip like he had expected her to. That was good.

The bad news was that he was placed under 'room arrest' and Jack wasn't allowed to bring him any more food from outside. Some maniac somewhere had decided that because of all the junk food Alex was eating (apples and croutons were not junk food) was the reason he had escaped. Alex argued otherwise, saying there was an amazing invention called a lock that they had neglected to put on his door.

"Honestly, Alex, this is getting a bit old now. You can't just decide to stroll out of your room one day because you just feel like it," Jack reprimanded him. Kristoff was there too, his expression strangely unreadable.

"Well, maybe someone should have told me that." Alex replied. "Like, before I decided to stroll out of the room."

"That's not the point! You should have known better. I thought we discussed this." Her expression turned cold. She was talking about the rule she had recently made about "Whatever enemies or whatever new agency is trying to recruit you, it all stays far away."

Kristoff raised an eyebrow impassively at Alex. "You should listen to Jack, Alex. After all, she is your guardian."

Alex's brow furrowed. Kristoff was saying that in an almost accusing way. He turned to him just as Kristof glanced at the steel watch on his wrist, and said "Got to go. Important meeting," and kissed Jack goodbye, who flushed.

Alex wanted to tell them to get a room, but decided not to. Kristoff raised a hand in farewell to Alex.

"Bye, Alexander. Remember what Jack told you-stay away from it all. See you."

Alex smiled at him, and said "See you," and Kristoff left the room. It was only after he left the room that he realized that Kristoff had called him Alexander, not Alex.

A/N: Tom and James visit coming up ahead, as promised! Oh, and huge plot twist as well. :)
