DISCLAMER: I DON'T OWN ALEX RIDER

Alex rider sat in blunt's office opposite Mrs. Jones and Blunt himself, Alex was 18 and was to now be given a choice either to leave the spy business or to become a fully fledged M.I.6 operative, Alex was caught between the two on the one hand he wanted to become a normal teenager on the other he knew that he could not become one, he had seen too much and it showed in his eyes they were now dark and distant, he had seen death and suffering, he had seen rape and extortion, in short he knew too much to have a normal life.

"So Alex what do you choose do you wish to leave us or continue to as an M.I.6 agent its is your choice and you need not feel pressured by either of us." Mrs. Jones said to Alex

"Although it is against my better judgment I will continue as an agent, I have seen too much to return to a normal life." Alex said with a sigh

Blunt sat there in his chair with no emotions whatsoever as if the whole thing did not affect him or M.I.6 however on the inside he was extremely scared that Alex would leave "the bank" and opt to a new life, a normal life. Mrs. Jones however was obviously ecstatic that Alex had decided to stay.

"Very well agent Rider please sign the contract inside the folder in front of you, you will addition to your salary receive payment for your 20 previous missions." Mrs. Jones said to Alex while pushing a folder and a pen across the table to him, after Alex signed the contract Mrs. Jones told him "please follow the agent outside to Smithers's office to obtain your ID card and then proceed to the armory to choose your two side arms you will have issued to you."

"Thank you Mrs. Jones I will have a good day" Alex said standing up he exited the office and found Ben standing in front of him with a grin almost splitting his face in half "So cub you're an agent now with rand and ID huh?" Ben asked

"Yes Ben I am now shall we I want to get my ID and side arms so I can go home."

Ben Just nodded and started to walk to the elevator and when they were both inside Ben took out his ID and swiped it across a hidden sensor and then pressed the button to the basement and into a long corridor with many doors to the side then he suddenly stopped in front of a door with the number 1993 and said "Smithers's office is in here and I know the number is ironic but so what"

As expected Smithers had know that both agents were coming he was alerted by a system that he had developed a few tears back that gave him a warning of 4 minutes if someone was coming down the corridor so when Alex and Ben walked into his office he was not surprised and actually greeted them before they spoke "Hello Alex, Ben how have you two been doing? I suppose that you are here for your ID Alex is that right? I'll get it for you in a second but first I need to take a photo of you so if you'll sit down on the stool here I'll take it right away so you can leave"

Smithers took Alex's photo and then a printer beeped to life and a plastic ID card came out Smithers then took it and placed it in an leather wallet and said "here you go old champ give'em hell will you?"

"I will do my best Smithers that I'll promise you" Alex replied "thanks Smithers but I have to go now still have to go to the armory and choose my side arms"

"Ok old champ see you later" Smithers said then turned back to his desk and started to tinker with some gadget or the other.

"So Alex what do you say let's go to the armory I know Mrs. Jones has set up a seminar to teach you how to shoot" Ben said to Alex

"Ya defiantly Ben but I don't need the seminar I know how to shoot just fine thank you" Alex said while walking down the corridor and into a room which said access to this room is restricted

"Ya we'll see cub we'll see" Ben replied and told Alex "why don't you do the honors cub since you now have your ID you can unlock this room"

Alex took out hi ID card and swiped it over a sensor that automatically opened the door and he heard the sound of gun fire, Alex walked in and went to the desk which had an old man sitting there Alex coughed and the man looked up and said "What do you think you are doing here boy this is no place for you children what did you do steel your fathers ID to get in here" the man said with a sneer

Alex gave the man his signature glare that would have made wolf proud and said "I am agent rider and I'm here to choose and receive my side arms"

"Are you now well agent rider I'll have to see some ID now or I well call security and I will have you arrested" The man said sneering at the word agent thinking that he was finally going to be able to arrest the kid, Alex just sighed and pulled out his ID Smithers had just given him and gave it to the man, the man was visibly shocked as he read the ID he saw that he was talking to a higher ranking agent and stood up while stuttering he said "My apology sir I thought that you were the son of one of our agents if you would please follow me I'll show you to the armory and the firing range."

Alex followed the man with Ben trailing behind and stepped into the armory which was a large room with lots of guns of all makes and sizes Alex made his way to a wall with a sign above it which read Sig Sauer and picked up a P226 and checked the barrel to make sure that the barrel was clear then disassembled and reassembled the weapon and asked the man for a magazine and walked into the shooting range and took his stance and cleared his mind like they taught him in Scorpia and started to fire, he only stopped when he finished the clip then he pressed the button to call back his target and was faced with 18 9mm holes in the bulls eye and needless to say the man was shocked and said "Well agent Rider I think that you are a great shot well you be taking that weapon with you?"

"Yes I well and do you have a small weapon I can use as a backup which is easily concealed?"

"Yes of course I would recommend the glock 33 compact chambered with .357 sig"

"Fine can I see it please" Alex asked politely, the man was gone for a second and returned with the weapon and loaded it and fired the nine round magazines and pulled back the target and found nine perfect holes in the bulls eye and said "I'll take it but I want a ankle holster for the glock and a shoulder holster for the sig" Alex said and the man only nodded and went to get the holsters and an extra box of rounds for each weapon and two extra magazines which were loaded and handed them to Alex and said "Well agent Rider I wish you all the best and please feel free to come and practice at any time" he then handed Alex a folder and asked him to sign the forms inside so he could legally discharge the weapons to Alex then Ben came and saw Alex's targets and said "damn cub was that you who shot those targets?"

"Yes Ben it was, what do you think" Alex said smugly

"Well cub I think that whoever taught you how to shoot should become the shooting instructor here" Ben said while smiling and ruffling Alex's hair.
