ALEX
Alex sighed, he was backed into a corner with no escape. He had no gadgets and no gun. No one was coming to help him and a dozen trained agents were slinking towards him, guns drawn.
His hands were tied and he was tired and all he wanted to do was collapse.
He knew when to accept defeat.

"No, I won't do it and you can't make me!" Alex was vaguely aware of just how childish this made him sound.
Mrs. Jones sat in front of him chewing nervously on her ever-present peppermint with a stone faced Alan Blunt to her left.
Mr. Blunts eyes narrowed marginally at Alex's challenge. "Well, I guess we could let hundreds of orphaned children die. After all, we wouldn't want to inconvenience you Alex."
If looks could kill Blunt would have been dead on the spot from Alex's hatred filled glare, "Get someone else to do it," he spat out with clenched teeth.
Mrs. Jones cut in, "Alex, you know we wouldn't ask you if it wasn't dire. No one else can do it. It has to be you. I don't like it any more than you do but sometimes you have to think of the greater good."
Alex was seething, "Was it for the greater good that my parents died and my uncle died then? What about Jack? Is it all fine and dandy that they died because it was for the greater good?"
Blunt sighed, "I didn't want it to come to this Alex but, after all you are too young to be living on your own. You might be better off if we sent you to a Boy's Home for the time being. Or maybe, after all you've been on many mentally taxing missions, it might be better for you, psychologically, to admit you to an Institution."
Alex felt all his resolve drain out of him. He sighed tiredly, running his fingers through his hair., "I'm not crazy," he whispered.
"Well how are we supposed to know that?" Blunt asked. Then, with no response forthcoming, "What will it be Alex?"
Alex sighed, he knew when to admit defeat.
