Alex Rider

Chapter 7

Alex finished his homework and was just using his laptop when Tom skyped him. "HEY ALEX!!!!!!" Tom exclaimed. The SAS men flinched in surprise. "Hey Tom." K-unit moved to behind alex to be in the cam. "Alex."

"Yeah?"

"Do you know that there are 4 men behind you?"

"Yeah. Tom, meet SAS's k-unit, the best unit in SAS." K-unit introduced themselves. "Cool. Dude, You look bad."

"It's nothing."

"No, I'm serious. You look pale like a sheet of white paper." K-unit looked at Alex, he does look pale. But why? "Can't be that bad."

"Did you take those?"

"No. Blunt put me off those. He say it's coz he don't want me to get addicted. " k-unit raised eyebrows, confused. "WHAT?! How can he do that? You're in pain and he does that?"

"It's nothing, Tom. "

"Listen to me, if the pain is too much to make you look like this, you better take the medicine."

"I'm okay, Tom."

"Hey I know you are okay. It's just that I can't stand seeing you like this. I can't stand knowing you're in pain and I can do nothing about it! You're like my brother. You better take those meds now. Go, take it in front of me. I want to see you take it or I'm gonna pester you every time about it. You know how I sound when I pester people." Tom said, grinning. "Fine. "Alex stood up and walked up to his room. "What medicine are you talking about?" Snake asked Tom. "I'm not suppose to say."

"Come on." Eagle said. "Nope. It's Alex's secrets, not mine to tell. Ask him maybe he'll tell."
