Okay, this is my first fanfic; so don't bug me if it's not that good! Post Snakehead.

---------------

Alex walked casually through the maze of hallways at the hospital. He had flown back home and it was nice to be living in a house again. It had been a few days since Sabina left, so far, MI6 had left him alone since the business with Snakehead and he was glad for the privacy. Jack was quite happy that he was safe, for once, but of course, Alex knew that this short-lived time of peace would not last very long. When he got to the door he was looking for, he paused for a second, and then quietly peeked inside.

"Hi Fox" Alex addressed the man sitting in the bed, "how are you doing?"

"Hey Cub, okay I guess, but I've seen better days!" The man called Fox, also known as Ben Daniels, was a member of an elite SAS military group, who had been shot during operation Snakehead. "How are you?"

"Pretty good, anything new?" Alex felt a little awkward standing there stupidly in front of Fox like that.

"I gotta ask you something," he seemed to consider a moment then made up his mind, "the man I shot in the control room, I heard you talking to him before I passed out, I heard voices, but I couldn't distinguish any words, did you know him?"

Alex took a deep breath, "Yeah…umm…" he looked down, unsure of how to continue, the he closed his eyes and went on, "h he was…my godfather." Alex finished, his voice barely a whisper.

Wolf's eyes widened in shock, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mea…"

"It's okay," Alex cut in before he could finish, "he was a traitor to me, my father and MI6." Saying those words somehow made him a little angry, when Fox raised an eyebrow in question, Alex calmed down and continued to explain, "He killed my father, leaked classified information from the ASIS to Scorpia and nearly got me killed."

"Some godfather," Fox muttered with disgust in his voice, "so, what are you planning to do now?"

"I really don't know," Alex admitted, he hadn't really thought about it yet. He assumed that he would go back to school and enjoy life, but now he was on break and Sabina had already left. Then he joked, "I could wait for MI6 to send me on another mission!"

"Haw haw, very funny," Fox said sarcastically, "seriously, got any plans?"

Alex thought for a moment then remembered something, "Actually, once you can leave, we're supposed to see Blunt for some reason."

"I can leave now," he started to get up, "let's go."

"Not so fast," Alex got up and pushed him back down, "he wants to wait until you can go back into the field."

"Alex," Fox said reassuringly, "I can already go back, I was supposed to be released anyway."

"WHAT!!! Why doesn't anybody tell me these things?!" Alex shouted, and then relented, "Fine, lets go."

After they checked out of the clinic, they headed for "Royal and General Bank".

"Hello Alex, welcome back!" Mrs. Jones greeted him as he walked through the door. "How are you feeling Mr. Daniels?"

"Great, it's nice to be out again." He admitted.

Suddenly, as if on cue, the phone rang. "Hello," Mrs. Jones answered, "…mhmm… they're here…of course…very well… okay, send them up." She put the phone back and looked up, "We will be having some guests."

After a short while, the rest of the SAS team walked through the doors; Wolf, Eagle and Snake. "Alright, glad you could make it boys," Mrs. Jones was eager to get right down to business, "I have requested that you all be assigned specifically for your next mission…Alex," she nodded her head towards him, "is in trouble and he needs to be under guard 24 hours a day, seven days a week."

Eagle spoke up, "What's so bad that you can't just set up some cameras?"

"Because," Mrs. Jones continued with a sudden coldness in her voice, "of this…"

She slid a manila folder in front of them onto the table and opened it. There was a picture sitting on top of the pile of papers and it was dated two days ago. The man in the photograph made Alex draw a quick breath and his mouth fell open in shock.
