This will be my first narrative story on Alex by himself (Starting a new chapter in his life). Somewhat an amateur at this, so here it goes. Appreciate comments. Thanks

I'm 17 years old now, and I've been on multiple missions for MI6. Re-evaluating what I really want to do with myself being that I've just completed High School with honours even though I've missed so much schooling. Did get a lot of help in that area, which I'm grateful Last year, I gave Mr. Blunt an ultimatum that I didn't start to get paid for endangering myself, on these so called missions, would make a press announcement that I would reveal about the methods that they've used me for their gains investigating such as Sayle, Dr. Grief, General Sarov, Cray (although I did this on my own as well Scorpia at first and MI6 pulled me back in again. Have my regrets, but wouldn't change anything just for the experience it gave me but it was hard. Could mention the others but you get the drift.

Well, they did owe up that for why they didn't pay me. They actually did arrange a secret fund for me when I'd turn 17 that they would turn the controlling rights over to my name. So if you consider I've been on 6 official missions at $20,000.00 each when I was 14, do the math. Putting your life at risk for such cause does have it's compensation. I'm older now, so don't need to be blackmailed with pulling Jack's visa away and having her deported back to the U.S. Between myself and MI6, we've drawn up a contract that if I so choose to continue working for them, I'm not obliged to take the mission also requested that they don't take advantage of other children, teens the same way that they've used me. They agreed verbally, yeah right (time will tell).

So going back to my options, can't see myself doing anything else for it's in my blood. For me to take on a desk job, I'd be bored out of my mind. Through SAS, will be going back to further my training but with a new regiment for Special Reconnaissance established in April 2004. Through MI6, with their recommendation. My chances are quite good. So wish me luck, I'm going to need it.

Since my last mission with MI6, I've been given a reprieve for 6 months to unwind, take a vacation or what not. Jack did go back to the U.S. to be with her family, she call's me every other day to see how I am with always the promise that I can visit her anytime. My friend Tom has moved with his brother now that his parents are officially divorced. We still go out upon occasion and actually he had tickets for the soccer championship this weekend to see if he's still open.

Next chapter, Alex is going to find that MI6 will be cutting his 6 months short and even though he's been promised his choice. He won't be able to turn this one down.
