Alex's P.O.V.

It had only been about 1 week since I have gotten back from Cairo, Egypt. I was tired. Today was going to be my first day back at Brookland and I was excited to have a normal life again.

"Alex! Get down here right now!" Jack, my house keeper and best friend, yelled at the top of her lungs. It was 7:00 a.m.

"I'm coming." I yelled, "just let me get dressed." I didn't want to be late to school today and my first class started at 7:50a.m. It had been about 5 minutes since Jack had called me and I was still looking for clothes.

"Alex, I don't care if you're in your boxers, just get your bottom down here." Apparently Jack had lost her patience at me.

"I'm coming," Then I grabbed my Aero™ shirt and Gap™ jeans. I made my way down the stairs hoping that Jack wasn't too mad. There are exactly two landings in my house I got to the first one and saw too people standing there. I started hoping and praying that it wasn't Mrs. Jones and Mr. Blunt. Then when I got to the last stair I thought that my eyes were playing tricks on me.

It was Ian. It was the person who had died a year and a half ago.

"Ian!" that's all that I could even think of to say.

"Yes, Alex it is me. Yes I know that MI6 lied to you." Ian said. He answered the two questions that were in my mind right now.

Then I felt two emotions I had never felt together before. I was happy and mad. Happy that Ian wasn't actually dead. Mad because MI6 and Ian had lied to me and almost gotten me killed like a billion times.

"Well I'm going to be late to school. It's 7:35 and my first class is at 7:50." I was really upset.

"Alex, I already called Mrs. Brookshire and told her that you would be late." Jack said.

"I'm behind in school. I'm not going to get even further behind." I yelled. Then I ran up to my room grabbed my backpack put all of my books in there then ran down stairs jumped on my bike and rode off to school.
