The plane ride seemed to go on for hours. A few times, Alex had even looked out the window to try and pinpoint the direction that the plane was flying in was in fact towards America. On his last peek, he noticed that the coast was moving towards them.

"Tom," he whispered poking Tom who had fallen asleep.

"Wha'?" he asked rubbing his eyes, Alex pointed out the window and Tom's eyes widened slightly. "Wow," he whispered placing his hand against the glass to get a better look at the approaching ground. The bing of the seat belt light came on while a hiss of the window screen snapped shut. Alex tried to lift it up but the thing wouldn't budge.

A couple of students tried to look out the window unsuccessfully, which made everyone antsy. Ten minutes later they touched down sending surprised yelps throughout the cabin as the plane jerked to a sudden stop. The side door opened and an armed guard came in.

"Make any noise and I will shoot," he whispered lifting the semi automatic gun fitted with a silencer to prove his point. His eyes darted through the rows before landing on Alex were they turned to slits. After a minute of thought, Alex finally recognized him from his time on Malagasto. There was a thump and then voices reached there ears from the closed door.

"How you doing sir?" A man asked in an American accent.

"Very good sir and you?" said a slight Italian accented voice.

"Very good," the man chuckled, in a thick New York accent probably meaning they were in JFK or in Newark. Alex quickly stored this info in his mind. "You are just stopping down?"

"Yes just need to refuel before we head off," the pilot said vaguely.

"Just wanted to make sure you know, but just checking in and saying we got all your papers and that you are free to use run way four once your done here." The American stated before uttering a final good bye and leaving the plane.

The guard stayed in place until the engines were turned on and with one last glare, he returned to the cockpit . Beside Alex, Tom slumped down in his seat with a sigh.

"God, what the hell is going on?" Tom asked into his hands slightly shacking. "What are they going to do to us?"

"Tom I have no idea, I really have no bloody idea what is going on, I just hope we can get out of this in one peace." Alex sighed, turning towards the short black haired boy next to him, who's eyes had already wandered away towards Aubrey Green who he had a major crush on. Aubrey was reading a book which surprised Alex slightly since there were only a plasma and no books on the plane. He then turned to the person sitting next to her, Angelica Anderson, or Slick as everyone called her for her over extensive use of lip gloss and the fact she had a silver tongue ring, was tall, with skin so white you would think she lived in a cave, with deep blue eyes and white blond hair. Aubrey and Slick had always looked like a strange pair with Aubrey's bright red hair and green eyes, versus Slick's pale complexion.

Slick dug in her pocket pulling out another tiny book which she began to read as well.

"You should ask her out," Alex grinned at Tom who looked at him and blushed.

"No she would never go out with me," he whispered looking around the cabin.

"Aww come on man you two would look great together!" Alex grinned trying in vain to lighten the mood. Tom snorted and went back to the plasma as Alex rolled his eyes, turned to the window and closed his eyes falling into a restless slumber.

Jack rushed down the street towards the Royal and General which was actually MI6's Headquarters. She rushed through the front door towards the bank receptionist.

"Ms. Starbright, they are ready for you upstairs." She said nodding towards the elevator. Jack gave the woman one last glare before hurry towards the elevator were a stony faced guard stood next to her. When the door pinged open, she was met with utter chaos of men and woman rushing up in down the hall ways.

"This way," the man said practically dragging her down the hall to an office. He knocked twice and a moment later, the door opened. Shaking the man of her, she rushed in.

"What the hell happened?" She practically screamed at the gray looking man sitting behind the simple wooden desk.

"Ms. Starbright! Calm yourself!" snapped a woman in her late forties who was sucking on a peppermint.

"I would be calm if I knew what is happening with ALEX!" She said bitterly her eyes burning with hate.

"Let me explain…" Mrs. Jones began only to be silenced by the cold gray man.

"It was a security lapse," he began bluntly. "We are sorry about Mr. Rider and his class, this has been a rather tense week for we have four other people who have gone MIA this past week. We have been focusing our attention on finding them that we forgot about Alex. We tried to get to the school in time, but when we got there, word was out and the press was there. Ms. Starbright you should know that we are trying everything to keep the situation under control and to find Mr. Rider as soon as possible. Thank you for your time I will see you soon. Mrs. Jones please escort her to the car."

"Wait hold up!" Jack yelled at him as Mrs. Jones tried to shove her out the door, "Wait until my lawyer hears about how you are keeping us in the dark!"

The plane had made two more stops before it finally landed. Stepping through the door with his class, he immediately noticed that it was extremely hot. Shrugging off his school blazer, he looked around realizing they were in the middle of a desert complex, made up cement and glass buildings with smaller bungalows.

"Wow," Tom muttered beside him in a slight terrified awe. It fell on death ears as Alex took in the complex mentally mapping it out in his head, it look fairly new and was probably a replacement for Malagasto, he shivered thinking of his time. They were led to the largest building of the complex, it was about three stories tall; one part completely glass another a modern looking brick building. "What do we do?" Tom asked him quietly.

"No talking!" the guard snapped at him his hand tightening on the gun, making Tom blanch. They walked on in silence until they reached a room. There they were split up by sex; the girls went one way and the guys the other, from there they were herded into a long room of orange tiles and stalls. "Get in," the man snapped and Alex had a horrible vision of the gas chambers at concentration camps during, stepping in slowly he looked around.

There was a small hiss and hot water hit him, gasping he looked around, "It's a shower boys enjoy it while you can!" the guard chuckled. "You will be getting new clothes any way, so when you are done just leave them in the stall." Sighing, Alex unbuttoned his shirt, and dropped his clothes on the floor, and quickly washed with the bar of soap. About four minutes later the water was turned off, the room was almost completely white with steam and Alex was thinking off how easy he could slip out, but quickly put it out of his mind, it would look a little odd to a see a drenched teenager running through the complex.

A guard walked along the hall and handed out ruff towels, which Alex quickly dried off with before wrapping the towel around his waist. He stepped out and followed the guard with the rest of his class. Walking down another hall with Tom close by, they walked into another room with a long table with two signs the said A-M and N-Z on it. Standing in the second Line he waited.

"Last name?" the man asked, this was it he took a deep breathe.

"Rider," the guard looked at him with a hard look his eyes trailing to the bullet scar on his chest, and a look of angered disappointment flashed across his face, then it was gone and replaced with a look so filled of hate Alex almost flinched. Turning around the man grabbed a small pile of tan desert combats boots and a small back pack, shoving them in his arms he pointed to a door way.

Walking out he released his pent up breathe and walked into a cubicle and dressed into the slightly large short sleeve tan shirt, the light cargo pants. After lacing up his army shoes, he stepped out swinging the bag over his shoulder. He scanned the room, noticing that there were no guards only students whispering amongst each other. There was one way out other then the way he came in and it was a locked door. There was a tap on his shoulder making him whirl around.

"Yeash man!" man Tom grinned. "I was just going to ask you if this outfit made my butt look big?" Alex could of face palmed, of all times for Tom's humor to kick in it had to know.

"I think it looks very nice," came a voice from behind him making them both jump. "Oh calm down!" it was Aubrey, with Amanda right behind her. "How do I look?" she asked, she was dressed in the same clothes.

"Horrible," Tom wrinkled his noise in mock disgust, Amanda let out a snort of laughter, her slick lips pulled back in a grin. Aubrey quickly flipped him off and walked off to join her friends, who stood in a tight little group in the corner.

"Ok listen up!" A man yelled and the room fell silent almost instantly. "If you try any thing we will shoot. Follow us," he turned on his heels and the class followed him into a well lit hallway until they reached a door way. The guard stepped forward and unlocked the door. "In you go," the man snapped as they were herded into the room. It was long and made of brick with little windows, the room was lined with two level bunk beds, in the middle were a couple of tables, and at the far end were two doors. Looking around he noticed they were not alone for sitting in a table tucked away in the corner were four men he thought he would never see. K-Unit…
