Alex rider - in fates hands

Sydney, Australia

Clay Mannix was sitting in his history class staring into space. Although he was in one of his major years in high school , he couldn't be bothered to listen.

Out of everyone in his school, he was the only one thankful for being at school, even if he was alone, now . To him it didn't matter as long as he wasn't anyway else in the world.

Despite his attitude about always being alone, clay did have one friend whom he trusted with all his secrets, his best friend Natalie. Although she lived in another state and he didn't really see her, they still manged to strike up a pretty good friendship.But besides her, he had no one.

As the bell went for the end of the day, clay was one of the last people out the door. By the time he made it to the front gates, most of the students were gone.

Just as Clay was going to cross the road, a black BMW pulled up on the curb. One of the to men in the car jumped out and pulled Clay into the back, where he came face to face with his worst enemy : Ethan Brooke. The head of the ASIS.

In a boss-like fashion he got straight to the point.

"You're going to be leaving for London tomorrow morning. You will be working with MI6 top agent and the FBI top agent. You will be briefed once you arrive. Do you have anything to ask?".

Clay just stared outside as the car dove along his street. After a year of peace they expected him to risk his neck again, he is only 16 .

"Why me, why not Jascent or Derek or George?" clay muttered

"Because you're the best we have to offer"

"No, I'm not going, not after last time. I told you i had enough, i thought i made it clear six months ago, I'm out."

"Clay. we are all sorry for what happen, to Ashlee that is, but you must move your life forward, isn't it what she would have wanted, and your mother."

Brooke's knew he had Clay, he knew he hit a nerve. Clay turned his head to face Brooke's, , of course this was wasted on Brooke's because blind, and said in a voice that held no emotion

"I will go"

With that the car stopped outside his house and Clay got out. Before walking away, Clay grabbed the files on his mission and partners from the back seat.

Slamming the car door and he made his way inside.

Only when he was sure he was alone, did he let the tears fall. It went on for a good 5 minutes before Clay pulled himself together. Wiping the tears away, clay decided to start packing straight away.

Half an hour later , Clays bags were packed. After finishing up stairs, he started reading up on his 'partners'. He almost laughed for the first time in a long time when he saw one particular name

"Alex rider & Blair Benson" he muttered

Getting out his cell phone, Clay decided it would be better if had gotten to London a little early.

"Hello this is Clayton mannix, have the chopper ready in an hour for departure to London." he paused for a second "and don't tell Brooke's."

"Of course sir, everything will be ready at your request. Is there anything else sir.?"

" Yes. Get me all the information you can on Alex rider & Blair Benson"

"yes sir"

Clay hung up without a goodbye, its what he always does. His father and older brothers did the same, when they used to talk to Clay.

Clay smirked " here i come Alex rider, you better be ready". . .
