AN: Well if you've clicked on this section then you should have some idea of the books I'm talking about. I happen to really like them...you may not. I wrote this AGEs ago when the last 3 books hadn't come out and it's probably not that great writing (was that bad grammar or is it just me?

I've mentioned events that have happened in several of the books available in the Alpha Force series. If you don't want to know what happens, then don't read this! Although I would really like you to

The two guards paused briefly and for a terrible moment Amber thought she had been spotted, but then she saw the flare of a flame and caught sight of the cigarettes hanging from the guard's mouths. They moved on, never realising that Alpha Force were in the building.
