Hey, I love Antony Horrowitz as one of my authors so this next story is sure to thrill thosehopefully nearly as good as the actual man himself. A new crime scene a horrific bomb and a devastating plan, could it lead Alex to a dreadful end, or does he still own the luck of the devil!

Leopard-Spiders Legs
Chapter 1
Im called Angie. I live Mexico. I have 5 lads, four of which I live with, and one running away a while back. There is something bad about my children; I have triplets all at 14 and a 15 year old. So they are constantly arguing. It is them that made me hate teenagers. They are so pathetic, thinking they can stomp around and all. They are so bossy "Mom im hungry" or "Mom im going out." No asking involved, no kindness nor decency involved. Just plain and utter rudeness.
One day though, hopefully, somebody will come up with a machine or something. Ok, let's not lie. I'm part of an organisation, in fact the biggest crime organisation-in the world. It's called Leopard.
Anyway, I have a machine that'll cause destruction to teenagers (be careful if you are one-ha), it'll only work if you are 13 and two days old, up to, 19 and three-hundred and sixty days old. Anything else over that, even by a minute and your safe, for now of course. I call it Spider's Legs. It-"Mom, Im going out" Ignorant idiotic child! But my machine will change that. I feel totally excited!! Ha! You want to know what it does??
"David to the head office, Alan wants to see you" The speaker cried out. Alan Blunt, the plainest man on Earth, my manager, in fact, everyone's manager. He is now head of Undercover Intelligence Agency (UIA), a new service I believe, and now he wants me. I've only been with him for 18 days and surely I haven't got an assignment already. I knocked.
"In, sit and listen" He said tonelessly and I scowled at him as I did as I was told.
"We need you to go undercover to find out why water levels in Guadalajara, North America in Mexico. David you'll be working with somebody under the name Matthew…Go to Smithers (emphatic pause) he'll equip you."
Me again, Angie. Big blow to my Spider's Legs plan. I need a strand of hair of my eldest son (who died), or my sisters eldest son (he's alive for now).
Anyway this machine is made of oxygen, clever right, and it sends powerful rays to the sun, which magnify, and every teenager will become the age of 20. Fantastic. Brilliant. Yes yes, I know, you love me and my ideas, but im afraid you can't join unless you talk to head of Leopard, oh that's me!! Even better news, (I know- how can it possibly get better), all the kids under the age limit are going to die, no more nappies. Seriously, there's even more!! When you're born after Spider's Legs take place, within 48 hours of birth, they'll be affected, so no more younger age-and no-one will stop me!
"Smithers my good-", Oh my goodness. Alex Rider is standing in the room. His code name is Matthew, but I didn't catch on. "Alex!" I exclaimed, while he smiled and shrugged, still wondering who the hell the foreign looking guy was, i.e. me.
"David" Alan called, "I never told you his first name, I told you his name was Matthew. How did you find out?" Alan continued, not bothering to take out the concern in his voice.
"You see, there are pictures of Alex in my dad's house. My father worked with him and died in action. You know Ash don't you Alex?" I asked.
"What?!" He gasped, in denial, hatred or happiness and I begged it was the latter.
"That's not all. My mother is called Mrs. Starbright, Jack Starbright" I finished as Alex fainted in terror.
