Hi everyone. My dear eDiNbUrGh forced me to put this up. She's basically threatening me, but since I've known how this epilogue would turn out almost word by word for a while it wasn't to hard. The biggest thanks to all my readers for sticking with me. I almost reached a hundred story alerts and nearly fifty favourites. Than you!

Dedicated to eDiNbUrGh for her encouragement and Sabsi13 since she has given me great reviews filled with tips and constructive criticism after every chapter.

It would have been nice to end the story with happy words about how K-Unit took care of Alex and he never again was forced into dangerous, even fatal missions. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. When Alex had walked out the door only one of the men ever saw the teenager again.

K-Unit was split up. It's sad, but it's the truth. A few months after the incident in the safe house there was a terrible accident in the Killing House at Brecon Beacons. Wolf managed to keep his job, but both Snake and Eagle was binned. Fox was once again recruited by MI6 and this time he took the job. He wanted to help the world and he thought that he'd have a better shot at helping Alex if he was part of the organisation.

They tried hard to stick together but Eagle was still bitter at Wolf for getting to stay and Snake couldn't stand seeing Fox when he knew that he was back with MI6. Fox and Wolf still met at times - sometimes during missions and sometimes outside of their job - and Eagle and Snake stayed best friends. Snake got to work as a police, a job he may not love but was perfectly fine with. Eagle, on the other hand, got to work as a professor at a university.

It was a sunny day in south France and Eagle sat on a bench sipping on a cappuccino. He was deeply tanned by the sun and a group of girls in their late teenage years took turns at trying to catch his eyes and then collapse with giggles. They thought he didn't see them - they were very wrong. Long years of practise caused him to know every piece of clothes they were wearing and the colours of their eyes. One of the girls had one brown and one blue eye, he noticed with interest.

Then he came. He was walking on the side walk on the other side of the street, his hair more golden than ever and his clothes nicely fitting. At first Eagle didn't notice him; he had grown over one foot since they last met, but once he did he almost fainted. It wasn't the fact that the teenager wasn't a teenager but a man, wasn't the fact that he was taller then ever. What startled Eagle was that he was smiling a smile as bright as the sun.

"-'keep trying!'" Alex said and the woman whom walked beside him laughed and placed a kiss on his face.

"Seriously, Alex, you're the most wicked person I know!" she said and kissed him again.

Then they were to far away for Eagle to hear what they were saying. He didn't consider following them for more than a second and as Alex disappeared out of his eyesight he didn't regret it at all. He'd never seen the teenage boy like that and was shocked to see that he hadn't noticed the older man. He knew for a fact that the boy he had known as Cub would see him as he scanned his surroundings but this man hadn't.

He thought it had everything to do with the woman. Everything about that suddenly so happy young man had something to with the woman. The kiss they'd shared had been comfort and love and trust all in one. Eagle was sure that that woman knew about Alex' job and that she minded but didn't love him any less. He smiled, glad that that broken boy had finally found a way to live his life with happiness and someone to talk to.

Nothing is simple, life least of all, but it can be quite good anyway.
