A/N: This is a one shot, and its really quite interesting to me. Just thought I would write this.
Disclaimer: One day there was a girl. She loved reading. Unfprtunately, she tried to take a book and copy it. She was killed and never seen again, for that book was not hers.
Alex was simply walking to the store to get some eggs for Jack. He loves Jack like family and would do anything for her. That's why when things go wrong, and Jack asked him to do something, he would still do it. Or at least try to.
He was close to the store when he felt eyes. They weren't vicious, but Alex still wanted to know who they belonged to. He quickly went in and bought 2 dozen eggs. Why Jack would need that much was beyond Alex but her wish was his command.
Going out of the store, he scanned the area, but saw no one. Somehow though, the gaze felt familiar, as if he's been gazed at before by the same person. Alex remembered the other day when he went to the R&G. He had felt the same thing, but it was gone when he was coming out, so it must be someone untrained.
Using an alley, Alex carefully and quickly climbed onto the rooftops. He couldn't see anyone from his position but voices could distinctly be heard.
"..just here.."
"..roof...climbed..?"
Alex now knew there were two stalkers. Trying to get into a better position quietly, he FELL off the roof! Rolling into a fighting stance, Alex faced his stalkers and was met with quite a shock! As he saw them, they stared blankly back at him and then one screamed at the other to run.
When Alex got home, he didn't mention it to Jack, just gave her the eggs and went to his room. For the rest of the day, Alex couldn't get the meeting out of his head. How he also glimpsed brown hair darting around a corner the day he got called in for a mission and the day he got back. And of course, that visit in the hospital and the way too personal questions. Going to sleep that night, Alex thought about how interesting school would be tomorrow.
"BYE JACK! NO BREAKFAST, I'M GOING TO BE LATE!" Alex ran out the door and hopped onto his bike. His legs were still a bit sore from the knife wounds but he didn't want a tardy added to his list of absences so he kept on pedaling.
The bell rang just as he got into his seat. He would have to confront his James and his friend later it would seem.
He wasn't there at lunch, they had different lunch periods. Alex couldn't find James at any breaks either, it would seem he got detention. After school, though, he saw flashes of brown hair following him. Alex went tot eh bike shed and waited there for his little friends. Sure enough, they rounded the corner a few minutes after him, both of them. With a dumbstruck look on their faces, he blocked their escape and asked, "why were you following me?"
They looked at me and tried to make a run, and shrugged, apparently they had went over it.
"You can either tell me, or I will report you tot he police, James. And you too, Ryan. Your dads won't like that will they?" Actually Alex was planning on calling MI6. He wasn't going tot ell them that though.
" We wanted to know why you are always absent."
Hearing the response, Alex just shook his head, told them they would rather not know, and biked away. That night he told Jack about what happened and they had a good laugh.
And in another part of Chelsea, two brown haired boys were talking over the phone and agreed on the same thing.
Alex Rider was not someone you wanted to mess around with or lie to. Ever.
A/N: Thai one is short, but you can't really write much for this idea, I don't think. If there are nay story suggestions, feel free to pm me or review. Oh yeah, follows and favorites are also appreciated. :)
