Alex Rider: Living with the SAS

Chapter 25

(1 week gone)
Alex bumped into a tree this morning because she had this moment where her right eye went blind for half a minute. "Whoa. You okay?" Ash asked.
"Yeah I'm good. Just distracted." Alex mumbled her excuse flawlessly but Ash didn't believe her. She ain't that careless. She can have lightning speed reflexes even when in her sleep and dodge attacks that are literally impossible to dodge. She wouldn't just run into that tree that is like what? Almost a meter in diameter. Something isn't right here. Ash thought as he eyed Alex but she didn't run into anymore trees or anything else for that matter.

"Hey." Alex heard and she immediately recognised that voice. "Marcus." Alex greeted.
"So why did you dress like a boy huh druggie?"
"Why I dress like a boy or how I dress for the matter of fact is none of your concern." Alex said and tried to walk away but Marcus pushed her in the chest to stop her. Alex hid her pain as she stared at Marcus looking unfazed. He had shoved her right where her bullet wound is and it's now throbbing in pain. It's getting harder to breathe with the pain getting more intense. "Get a life Marcus." Alex growled and walked away again only to almost got kicked in the side if it wasn't for her instincts. Alex grabbed his leg and twisted so that he flips and lands in a face plant in the soft mud. Alex walked away briskly.

"Where's Al-Cub, I mean?" Tom asked Skylar. Her eyes darted around looking for her. "My god... That's a good question." She said and gestures for him to follow her. "Um. Sir?"
"Yes, agent Skylar?"
"Where's Cub?" The sarge blinked. Oh shit. Did his soldier go messing? He pulled out his phone and saw a text from a blocked number. Alex had texted him saying that she was going on a mission and has no time to inform him. "She's on a mission."
"What? They- she's injured!"
"I know but I have no control over it." The sarge said. Please be okay Cub. Please be okay.
