A lone teen wear a black hoodie and camouflage combat pants walked into the Royal and General Bank on a breezy morning. One of his eye was bandaged up along with his head. You can say people who passed him and saw his face under the hoodie were all concern about by a handsome boy like him has to get his face bandaged up.
"Welcome to the Royal and General bank. How can I help you?" The receptionist asked. "I would like to discuss my bank details with Mr Blunt."
"Sure. What's your account number?" The boy said it to the receptionist quickly and smoothly, like he has said it over and over and has it memorised like the back of his hand. "... Mr Rider, Mr Blunt is expecting you." Alex nodded his thanks and went towards the lift but he filtered right at the last minute to head towards the stairs. Alex dislike taking the lifts. Who wants to get trapped in a confined space, what if someone attacks you. You would have no space to move.
Alex knocked on the door twice before entering without waiting for an approval. But once Alex saw there were man in uniform inside, SAS, he apologised and was about to leave. That's that unit I was with when I went to the SAS for two weeks. "Wait! Alex, come in." Mrs Jones said as she popped a peppermint candy into her mouth. Alex nodded and quickly walked in before shutting the door behind him. "I trust that the mission is complete?" Mr Blunt asked. "Yes sir." Alex replied as he pulled out a hard drive from one of the many pockets of his combat pants and handed the desk to Blunt. "The report is already sent to you sir." Alex said, very polite. "What happened?" Blunt asked, motioning to his face. Oh the bandage. Alex thought as he pulled off his hoodie. He heard the SAS men gasp and he could hear one of the men trying to approach but was stopped. Ah. The medic.
Alex glance at the SAS. "Ah. They have clearance." Blunt said, realising what Alex meant with that glance.
"I was about to leave the compound when someone decides to shoot in a random direction in the dark. I got hit and they found me. Let's just say that was their funeral. One of them pushed my head against a tree and punched me in the eye." Alex said looking like he is not really bothered by the fact that he killed. But hey, kill or be killed. Alex chose to stay alive.
Mr Blunt and Mrs Jones doesn't look very happy with it but what can they do? It already happened. "Alex, we're sending you to Beacons Brecon. You are to stay with them for a while. They are your old unit, I assume you remember them." Blunt said.
"Yeah." Alex confirmed and turned to look at the unit for them to register who he is. "Cub?" Eagle questioned. "You don't sound so sure. I'm hurt Eagle." Alex said sarcastically. This is the MI6 agent? But he's so young! What the heck. How old is he? 16? 17? This were the thoughts going through K-unit's head. This is gonna be a longgggggg stay. How am I suppose to keep my secrets a secret? Alex thought as he let his statement sink in.
