Where You Belong

Chapter 22

"Good morning to you to Alex, and if you're done trying to steal my cat I suggest you hurry up with breakfast, we got to leave."

Alex downed his cup of orange and shoved the toast down his throat before getting up, shaking his hands to get rid of any crumbs.

"I'm ready" he said with his mouth full

Mrs. Jones didn't say anything, but her face said it all as she got up from her seat and grabbed her purse "goodbye Q" he said petting the cat "I'll give you more food later" he said whispering knowing that Mrs. Jones was listening. The cat meowed, going back to the kitchen, ignoring his real owner.

"I'm hiding his food" Mrs. Jones stated, opening the door of the flat.

"You would starve your kitty "Alex said in a shocked innocent tone

Not much later, Mrs. Jones discarded him with Smithers. "What's up with her?" he asked, seeing her pissed off face when she left

"oh, she just found out her cat doesn't love her"

Smithers laughed amused, "I'm sure you had nothing to do with that"

"Not at all, it was that a personal reflection on her part. "Alex replied

"I'm sure that was what happen, anyway, want to help me test out new gadgets?" Smithers asked, making Alex interested

They spend about one hour messing around with stuff and testing new ideas, having caused 2 small fires and one minor explosion in that span of time.

"Looks like our fun his over Alex" Smithers suddenly said looking at the entrance of the room, where Crawley had appeared

"are we going to another field trip?" Alex asked the man

"come on, Alex, we have to go"

"Where are we going?" Alex asked the moment he closed the car door

Crawley didn't answer him immediately, probably thinking if he should tell Alex their destination.

"We're going to SAS training camp" Crawley responded with his eyes focused on the road

SAS, wasn't wolf and his team from there? Why would Crawley take him there

"do what?" Alex asked

"probably to humiliate some recruits" Crawley answer, making Alex even more confused

"how?"

"You'll see" was the only response he got, apparently the conversation was over, Alex once again was left in the dark about his own life.

Seeing he wasn't getting any answers, he decided to make use of his time and closed his eyes to have a nap.

He didn't know how long he slept before he was shaken awake

"we're here" Crawley said the moment he opened his eyes. Alex got out of the car and looked around, they were in an open space of land, with trails of mud from the recent rain that led to several cabins. In the distance he could see a group of people, dressed in military clothing, running.

If anyone asked him, this looked like a downgrade from Scorpia.

He followed Crawley into an office where a man was waiting for them

"my job isn't to ask questions, but I don't know what Blunt is thinking, bringing a child to this world." The man began

"unfortunately, you have to take that up to Blunt" Crawley answered instantly

The door opened behind them and someone came in "wolf" Alex called out the moment he recognized the man

"Cub?" he exclaimed, clearly confused about the teen presence
