Chapter One: Monday Morning

Vroom, went the sound of the motorcycle as is flew past him. He stood there a few seconds from shock of almost being killed. He darted over to the one left behind. He swung his leg over and started up the engine. He sped as fast as he could to catch up with the other two, but they were too far along. He slid to a halt as the water, that covered up part of the sand flew everywhere.

"Alex," a voice said as someone started to shake him.

He slowly started to open his eyes. It took him a while to persuade them to open, and it took a lot of force.

"Alex, Alex wake up."

"Jack?" Alex said as he looked up at his housekeeper.

"Come on you're going to be late for school," she said as she walked out of his room.

"Oh my…" Alex said as he jumped up and ran to his closet. He grabbed his uniform. He pulled up his pants over his boxer briefs; then he threw on a sleeveless white undershirt and put his shirt on. He darted out of his room and into the kitchen. He quickly grabbed a bite to eat and ran to the bathroom. He grabbed his toothbrush and brushed his teeth. He took his brush and combed his hair out in a hurry.

"You need a ride?" Jack asked as Alex started towards the door, backpack in hand.

"I'm fine I have my bike," he replied as took off out the door. He grabbed his bike and sped off towards the school.

When he got there he knew with out a doubt that he was late.

"Mr. Rider," the teacher said as Alex walked into the room.

"Yes sir?" Alex said turning his head to the side slightly in a questioningly motion.

"Someone requested you in the office and told me not to count you late so you had better go see what it is about," the teacher said as he turned to right something on the board. "Oh and take your things with you."

"Yes sir," Alex said as he started off towards the office.

"Mr. Rider," a secretary said as he walked in the door.

"Yes?" Alex said as he looked around to see if he could figure out the cause of him being where he was.

"Your godmother is here to see you. She says that she was going to take you with her for a few days and the school approved of it so she's waiting in there for you," the secretary said as she looked over her thin spectacles squinting to see him.

"Thank you," Alex said as he stepped into a room inside the outer office. The room was filled with files and file cabinets which was, Alex thought, to hold the record of every student.

"Alex," came a familiar voice.

"Hello," Alex said as he grinned at Mrs. Jones, who was wearing a pair of jeans, sneakers, a t-shirt, and a cap. He was very surprised with her disguise. All he had ever seen her in was a suit of some kind. He grinned even wider trying to keep himself from laughing.

"I have my car parked outside; you can go on out if you like," Mrs. Jones said as she held the keys out to Alex.

"It's okay Ms. Saxton," a woman said as she stood up. She must have been new Alex had not seen her before. "You both may go now."

"Thank you. Good day," Mrs. Jones said as she followed Alex out into the first office and then into the hall.

"What's the mission?" Alex said as he walked over to the BMW, opened the door and sat down.

"I'll tell you when we get to the office," Mrs. Jones said as she cranked the car and sped off.
