The news
Alex Rider was on his bike riding home from another day at Brookland School in London. He lived in a beautiful house in Chelsea with his guardian Jack Starbright. From the outside Alex looked like any normal kid but he wasn't he was in fact MI6's top agent and had completed 7 missions for them. He had got back from his last mission just 3 weeks ago. He went straight upstairs to try and get through all the extra work he had to do because of all the missions he had been on he had missed a lot of his school work and was trying to catch up. Alex didn't get to bed until midnight that night and wasn't looking forward to school the next day. "Alex get up now it is 7:45 you need to be at school at eight thirty"
Jack's voice rang through the house waking Alex up. Quickly he showered and dressed went down to breakfast. As he was eating breakfast the harsh ring o the telephone rang through the house, Alex picked it up and a cold emotionless voice said "Mr Rider could you please come to the Royal and General bank at 4 o'clock today to discuss your accounts. "
The feeling of dread stayed with Alex all day as it always did when the "bank" called. After school he jumped on his bike and cycled to the bank, he strolled through the reception with the emotionless spy mask slipping down onto his face. As Alex rode in the elevator to the 16th floor he wondered what Alan Blunt and Mrs Jones wanted him to do. He entered the office. Blunt was well blunt and went straight to the point "Alex you are going back to the Brecon Beacons with your classmates."
