Alex stood in his bedroom getting dressed. He walked over to the mirror. Still topless. He put it on and looked at himself. His stomach scarred. He had been branded by Scorpia. They would never let themselves be forgotten. He tied his tie and sighed. At Least he was back at school. School was in madness with studying. The GSE's were taking up a large chunk of time. Sabina still recovering mentally from her ordeal. She had her beautiful long hair cut. She calmed she could still feel Point's disgusting fingers every time she brushed it or it fell against her skin. He finished getting dressed and grabbed his bag leaving the room. The door ajar behind him.
Jack bustled around the kitchen in full breakfast spirit. Alex's breakfast lay on the table and she started to iron. Alex came into the kitchen and approached Jack. He kissed her on the cheek and bid his good morning. Since the last ordeal,they had became closer. Alex ate his breakfast in silence.
"Any homework?" Jack asked breaking the silence.
"Finished it all,for Mr Winter's" Alex said rolling his eyes.
Jack tutted and pressed a button the iron spitting water and steam.
Alex looked to the clock and saw he had to leave. He stood up and put his horrible blazer on. He and Jack both knew it would be in the bottom of his bag before he left the bottom of the street,but it comforted Jack,that Alex wouldn't been in any more trouble than usual. He left the room and she heard the door bang. She sighed and returned to her work.
Alex walked down the path and around the cornor before seeing Sabninia waiting. She was beautiful like usual. No longer did her hair blow about in the wind. It was flat against her head. In a pixie cut. She smiled at him and pressed her lips against his. He could taste her lip gloss. It was cherry today. She smiled at him. An awkward cough broke the couple apart. It was Tom. He looked at Sabina and raised his eyebrows.
"Nice chop Sab" he said.
She winked at him and pulled Alex down the street. The trio had quickly became the best of friends. Or the couple and Tom. Tom was a third wheel and he knew it. He had looked for a girlfriend,but alas.
"Who wouldn't want to date me?" he moaned.
"People with sense?" Alex said.
"People with style?" Sabina said.
"Funny" said Tom.
"Just because I'm not Alex Rider total spy hotness doesn't mean I'm not a nice guy!" Tom said heatedly.
"
I know bud" said Alex rubbing his arm. "I know"
In London. A man sat at his desk. Tapping his foot on the crisp Blue carpet. He was impatient and didn't care who knew. He was waiting for his contact to arrive and he was late. Looking to his watch he noted the time. Five minutes late. That could be punishable normal but this case was important. This man had something he wanted.
Revenge.
The door opened and a nervous looking girl poked her head around the door. She was very plain which disappointed him. He disliked the girl for that reason and treated her badly. So badly that she tired to avoid him. He liked a girl with a bit of spirit. Someone who could tell him what they thought of him Not someone who feared him and would fall at his feet. He lied to work fort hat pleasure. She looked down at the floor and whispered.
"Someone is here to see you sir."
A tall man entered the room. He was dressed completely in black. He was pale and had the look of pure evil in his eyes which were empty and unforgiving. He looked very professional apart from his hair which was gelled up in a childish manner. He nodded his greetings. He went into his black briefcase and took out a picture of a young boy. Blonde haired and Blue eyed. He was in action. In one of many Kung Fu moves he obviously knew. He looked strong the muscle defined in his young shoulders and chest. The man smiled and placed it on the desk twisting it around so the other man could see it.
"How do I get him?" he asked.
"We attempted plan B a few months ago" the man said.
He reached into the briefcase and pulled out a picture of a beautiful girl with long Brown hair cascading down her back. She was slightly tanned. The girls eyes were blue and very large with thick black eyelashes obviously the work of makeup.
"Her name is Sabina Pleasure,she was a very good escape artist we underestimated her. " The other man said.
"We abducted her to lure Alex in and it worked but he brought a friend-" The man paused.
He took out another photo of a boy with dark spiky hair and large blue eyes. He was dressed expensively that would suggest wealth but by the look in his young eyes. He knew that he was a mixed-up,troubled young boy.
"Tom Harris,he tried to save Sabina instead of Alex but we sorted that out,Alex remained with us,but this boy is very clever he rescued Alex and outsmarted us."
The man sat and thought.
"Mr Rider and his friends are clever,very clever. I suggest you get them in the place they least expect it. A place tightly secured and you can track their every move. Their school."
The man shifted uncomfortably.
"Scorpia don't kill children."
"This boy is a child"
"He's different,he can defend himself,these children can't."
"My team don't mind killing,they will and mercilessly."
The man rubbed his collar.
"What's the plan" he asked.
"I will send my team of Assassins to this school. They will locate this Rider boy and extract him. They will listen to a man with a gun." He said.
He paused and drank some dark liquid from a cup. Most likely Brandy.
"What about if the plan fails?"
"It can't,right now,as we speak, My Assassins are taking over Number Ten. This country shall be run from us. If this Rider boy is not taken from school. We will project a news project claiming he is dangerous and those two friends he cares about. The country will be on watch and they will bring us the boy and those two."
"What is the need for Tom and Sabina?"
"They will be excellent ways to manipulate Alex into doing whatever we want him to."
"Excellent."
"Tomorrow after they have eaten Lunch,so we don't' have to feed him. At Two O'clock my team will enter this school and catch this boy."
"I mean how hard can it be?"
Alex Rider woke up. He looked across to the clock on the bedside table. Six-Thirty it read. Alex groaned. Up early was horrible. He knew he couldn't go back to sleep or he would wake up more tired. He swung his legs out of bed and stood up. His head spun a little. He shook it off and went over to the blind. He pulled it up. The sunlight invading his bedroom. He blinked fiercely until his vision cleared. He looked outside. It was dry today. Unnatural for England. Going through his drawers he collected everything he would need for the day. His hands hovered over the contents of the drawer. Something in the back of his mind cried for him to take a spare pair of clothes. He shook it off and collected only what he needed for the day.
He went into the bathroom and ran the shower. He climbed inside and started to wash his body taking care around his scared stomach. He whistled a tuneless song as he continued in the shower. He stopped the shower and climbed out. Draping a towel around his waist. Leaving his naked chest. His body was cold in the morning air. The condensation thick on the bathroom window. He cleaned the mirror of steam and brushed his teeth. For some reason he felt sick. He tried to push the feeling of uneasiness away and got dressed. He arrived down the stairs just in time for Jack to start making breakfast. As he watched he rush around the kitchen. He felt his love for her. She had done everything for him for the last seven years and he felt he could never thank her enough.
Once she served him French Toast. He hugged her tightly. She squeaked a bit at the tightness of Alex's grip but felt special. It wasn't often that teenagers hugged their parents or relatives.
Jack was neither to Alex,but she had been the only mother figure that Alex had ever known and she had taken care of Alex when Ian Riders love had been otherwise engaged. When he eventually let go she took her now cooler cup of tea from the counter and sat down opposite him at the table. Alex ate silently but she could tell there was something wrong.
"Alex?"
He looked up.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"I don't know,I've felt like this since I woke up" he admitted.
"Well I'm sure you'll be fine"-"Watch your time" she added.
Alex got up and rushed out the door banging behind him.
He met up with Sabina and Tom like he did every morning. Today felt different and he couldn't understand why. Sabina nattered on about somebody's party that they had to go to. Alex nodded but he wasn't really listening. He was deep in his mind trying to work out what was wrong with him and in all honesty. Sabina was his whole world but he wasn't interested in what she was talking the same he nodded and kissed her before he left her at the school gates.
"Sir,we are set and in position."
"Good,do you know of Rider's whereabouts?"
"No sir,we could not gain access to the files."
"Get in there and get control. The school will be on complete shut down and he won't know where to go"
"Once the whole school is under control the children will be sent to the assembly hall and we will go through everyone of them until we find the brat"
"Right it's Two O'clock sir."
"Go!"
The assassins left the many trucks they had parked outside Brooklyn High School and rushed to the man door of the school.
Alex's Fourth Period classroom was in complete silence. The constant tick of the plain white clock distracted him. sighing, he drummed his pencil on the table trying to drown out the noise. Any noise was better than that annoying tick. The teacher looked up over his book and frowned at Alex over his half rimmed Maroon glasses. Alex sighed and let the pencil slid out of his fingers making a small noise as it hit the table. His teacher looked up again and Alex stared at him. He was reading Great Expectation. It was so boring. He was boring.
He looked around the classroom everybody still working on the sums that had been set around ten minutes ago. Alex was finished and childishly showing his boredom. Even though Alex had been out of school for months being attacked by terrorists,being shot at and nearly eaten by several animals. He still managed to understand Algebra and all it's rules.
He looked over to the cornor. Jason Black was sitting in his chair swinging. He hadn't done the work and probably didn't plan on it. He looked to Alex and pulled a face at him. He was one of the original members of "Alex Rider's a drug dealer" Alex looked back and tried not to face faces,it was stupid and childish. He turned back around,his attention back to the board. He looked down at the working before him. He couldn't fix anything because he knew it was right. He sighed again and waited for someone,anyone to finish.
He heard a crash and he whipped his head in the direction of the noise, he listened hard. It must have been something in an other classroom or in the Lunch room. He was turning back when he heard the familiar but faraway noise of gun shots. His blood ran cold. Surely it was his imagination. He looked to his teacher who had barley responded. He was too deep in Dicken's to notice or care. He tried to shake this idea off but he couldn't. He was really on edge today and was finding it hard to calm back down.
Then suddenly the door burst open. A group of men barged in completely dressed in black. Alex sighed. That's what he needed,a school shooting. Mr Winters stood up slowly removing his glasses. Without warning one of the men darted across the carpet and removed a knife from his pocket. Alex saw a flash of the knife. It was a Bowie Knife and lethal . It's front lower than the rest of it making the stabbing gesture a lot easier. He then proceed to stab Mr Winter's through the stomach. Mr Winter's eyes grew wide as he looked down at his front. It was flowing with his blood. The man pulled out the knife. He gasped for breathe the colour draining from his plump face. The man stabbed him repeatedly until he noticed that Mr Winter's seemed to be still standing. He put the knife through his throat and pulled it out. Mr Winter's eyes popped out of his sockets and he coughed,blood spluttered out of his mouth and ran down his chin. He collapsed to ground and fell still. The men turned to class. They had fled to the end of the classroom mostly everybody was screaming. Alex had pulled himself behind a girl named Sarah and was hugging her close. He nestled her long blonde hair as she sobbed into his shoulder. One of the men removed his mask. He was white and had long blonde hair. He had a permanent sneer engraved into his face. He pulled out a gun and pointed it at the children. Sarah screamed and tried to burrow herself into Alex who held her tightly.
"All right,over here the lot of you" the man demanded his voice harsh with a faint Russian accent.
Alex noticed that he was pointing with his gun. This man was obviously new to this. Alex thought of several different ways he could attack the man using his own gun against him. The children all sat down where his gun had gestured. Alex sat on the floor and Sarah jumped on top of him determined trying not to be parted from him. As he tired to tear her hands away from his body he heard the man clearing his throat.
"All right,where can we find Alex Rider?" He asked.
Sabina sat in class. She was in the middle of fixing her cuticles. She had split nail varnish on them last night and they had been bugging her since. She looked up under her eyebrows to make sure the teacher hadn't noticed. He hadn't. He was writing on the board and seemed to be at a steady was shouting out what he was writing and everybody was frantically copying. She rolled her eyes and looked to her best friend Mandy. She smiled and stuck out her tongue before going back to copying from the board. Sabina looked around the room. Looking down at her half hearted attempt of the work she yawned. Everybody was sielnt. She risked it She slid out her phone and lit the screen up. No new texts.
"Miss Pleasure" she heard.
She looked up to see her teacher with his hands on his hips. He had noticed. She sighed and scraped back her chair. She was getting up to go and put her phone on the desk when the door burst open and a small group men appeared in the room. One sprayed a round of bullets from an Assault Rifle,everybody including Sabina screamed. She hit the floor and put her hands over her head. Her phone abandoned on the floor. She could hear the horrible noises of her teacher being shot. He was screaming with every new shot. Finally the room fell silent.
"Up!" one of the men screamed. Firing a round of bullets at the ceiling.
Sabina jumped to her feet like the rest. As the room fell silent she felt parts of the plaster from the roof land on the top of her hair. She had her hands up,her thumbs resting against her ears. One of the men eyed her suspiciously. He called to another man and spoke in Russian. They nodded to each other and removed their guns from their pockets. Pointing the ends at Sabina.
"Убей ее" one of the men said.
They cocked their guns and turned to face Sabina.
"No" a boy yelled. She looked to him in surprise. It was Jake from her class. Why did he care.
He started talking to the men in broken Russian. The men watched the desperate boy obviously enjoying his humiliation.
"Она невиновна, ее не больно" he begged.
Sabina watched him with interest. She never knew Jake spoke Russian,but she was glad he did. He had just saved her life. The men laughed and turned their guns away. She breathed out evenly. Still shaking.
"Are you okay?" Jake asked.
"Yes,I'm fine. Just a bit shaken" She confessed.
The men started to Push her and Tom into the cornor with the rest of their class. Sabina sat on the floor. She smoothed her skirt down and turned to look at the floor.
"Tell me,where I can find Alex Rider" one of the men said.
Sabina stiffened.
Tom sat in class. The teacher was playing the radio and the classroom was alive with the buzz of warm chatter. They were making posters and revising for next weeks test. A modern song came on the radio and everybody in the class was signing along. Even Miss Pot. She walked across the room and opened the door. She was going to open the door to let some fresh air in. She had been carrying a plant pot. She let out a scream and let the pot go. It fell to the floor smashing in to a million pieces. Soil jumping up. Tom jumped up and tried to go his teacher. She came back into the room,she was walking backwards her hands set in a defensive stance. A man grabbed her and pressed a small hand gun to her left temple. She cried out. Silver tears running down her red cheeks. She was terrified. Another man looked to Tom who seemed to be the only one in the class standing. The others had hit the floor. He pulled out a run and fired different shots each hitting a different target. Their screams gave Tom a rough idea who. He kept his eyes glued to the men. One looked to him and raised his eyebrows. Tom was breathing hard and tried not to move.
"Move him" the man said in broken English.
He walked towards Tom and grabbed him by the neck his nails digging into the top of his spine. He dragged him across the classroom. His heart leapt into his mouth. He practically sighed with relief when he pushed him into the cornor. Several people later and the class minus the dead and injured were in the cornor. Their teacher still at gun point. Still crying. He took in the action.
Melony Brown lay on the floor. Dead. A single shot to the head. She had always been a pretty girl and so nice to,now she lay in a pool of her own blood.
Sammy Turner was also dead. Blood poured from a wound in his chest. He had been a loud boy,part of the athletic team. He had been respected.
Robert Paile was injured. He had an Arm injury and seemed to be in a lot of pain. His face was ash white and he looked to be struggling to breathe. He looked to Tom his eyes begging for help. Tom felt bad for Robert but he couldn't do anything.
"Tell us,where we can find Alex Rider,and your beautiful teacher here won't get hurt." One said.
Tom's blood ran cold. A girl looked to Tom and opened her mouth. Tom leant over and practically lay on her pressing his hand across her mouth.
"Don't tell him," He hissed.
"What's going on back there?!" One shouted.
Tom sat up. He thought quickly and put his arm around her. Cerise Jones. Hottest girl in their class.
"Sorry,had a moment" he lied smoothly.
"Prove it" another said.
He looked to Cerise. She understood instantly and happily pressed her lips to Tom's. Fireworks exploded in his head. Cerise Jones wasn't kissing him,she was snogging him. He liked it. He closed his eyes. He knew people had died and there was a chance he could die but at least he hadn't died without kissing a girl. If he made out this alive. He was going to destroy Alex with this. When they pulled away he turned back to the man.
"Told you" he said not quite believing what he was saying.
