The plane ride to Russia was torturous being pent up in a limited space of room. Alex was sitting in the first class passenger seating area, staring out of the window looking at the clouds imaging if his loved ones were watching him from above. Slowly descending downwards, Alex lurched forward waiting for the engines to sputter to a stop.
When the sound of the engines died out, Alex quickly gathered all his belongings and stepped down the flight of stairs leading to the pavement. Starting to stride larger steps, he had managed to enter the terminal before rain started to pour covering everything in water. While waiting for his taxi driver to pick him up, the speaker boom out loud for the whole airport to hear.
"Mr. Alex Rider to entrance E on floor 1 please, Mr. Alex Riser to entrance E on floor 1. Thank you." The mechanical voice finished.
Slowly standing up and receiving glares from other people around him, Alex made his way through the crowd on the nearest elevator.
Inside the elevator was very crowded, very normal for an airport. What was not normal though was three large men out of the six people including a woman with two kids. 1 female around 4 year old and 1 male around 8 years old. The family of three walked out of the elevator when it doors slid open. However the three large men did not attempt to move. Alex suspicious of the men's strange behavior pretended to act lost walking aimlessly. Using his Scorpia training he found an area to blend easily into the shadows. The men looked frantically for the boy they were stalking.
Quietly behind the first men, blue eyes, brown hair, wearing a red leather jacket zipped up with brown pants and black shoes, Alex strike a pressure point in the guy's neck causing the men the fall limply to the ground. Angry for their fallen comrade, the other two men spotted Alex standing near their partner mocking them if they were no matched for a brat. The first men yellow hair, green eyes, wore a black turtle neck with dark blue jean and sport shoes ran full throttle in order to grab the boy. Alex casually stepped out the men's way into a concrete wall rendering him of his conscious. Now the last men left was furious, his hair was orange with empty dark brown eyes void of any sympathy. He wore a green t-shirt with cargo brown pants and dark brown boots. He thrust his punch like a knife towards Alex's stomach. Instinctively reacting, Alex grabbed the guy's arm and twisted behind his back. Just when Alex was about to ask who he was, his vision turned black.
Waking up in a dimly lit room, the room was small, damp with brick walls. "Great, this is how I am treated on my first day to Russia." Alex thought to himself. "Well at least I still got my ear pierce, watch, anything else? Oh, my bubble gum too. Just then a muscular dark tanned skin man with long knotted hair stomped into the room.
"You're awake" he said in a very heavy accent. "It's a pity we have to give you to Mr. Jeff. After all you would sell for a lot on the black market" the man grinning, showing all his yellow teeth. "Or I can simply keep you myself to be my slave."
"Disgusting lowlife" Alex spat out in his most threatening tone. "I rather die then being owned by you."
All a sudden, the conversation was broken off by laughter. "Seems you two are getting along I assume? I am honored to meet the famous spy, Alex Rider. You are special that's why I chosen you to be part of my newest experiments. Please feel flattered to be given this offer." The mad doctor said.
"I don't even have a choice, and you believe me to be flattered?" Alex snorted. "Yeah right, you are so messed up, nobody can save you."
The bald man with little traces of gray hair with metal round glasses frowned at the insult. "Believe me, I am not crazy. Can't you see I am trying to help mankind forward?!" Dr. Jeff explained. "Maybe we should be on our way to the facility. Tie him up and drug him in case he escapes. You can never be too careful with a spy." Dr. Jeff chuckled.
