B: Blackmail

"The art of trapping someone and forcing them to do something with the use of their personal information."

Alex hated MI6 for many reasons, but one reason topped them all; Blackmail. The heads of SO seemed to have no quilt about blackmailing a fourteen year old into dangerous situations.

Seven times, he's seen death, been face to face with it and almost in its grasp. Seven times MI6 has placed seven different reasons he would go on the suicidal missions for.

The first time, it had been for Jack. MI6 had threatened to deport her, but if Alex went on the mission, they would renew her visa and let her stay. The second time it had been that they would send him to Brecon Beacons for his summer vacation. After they had found out about how Alex had told Tom everything, they threatened to recruit him. That seemed to get Alex quite a bit, so they used that for the fourth time, too.

When the fifth time rolled around, Alex gave in far too easily for his own liking. He had come back from Bangkok with the intentions of never going on a mission ever again. The sixth time, they threatened to tell Jack about Ash. And for his latest mission, Blunt told him that he would show videos of the young spy in action to the rest of K-Unit.

Alex didn't see how this could be bad for him, so he let Blunt do it. In reality, he should have thought about it more. Snake demanded a full body cataloguing of all his scars, Wolf was pissed that a teenager could upstage him, Eagle kept challenging him to a race, and Fox refused to look the teen in the eye.

So he went on the seventh mission.

When MI6 tried to get him on his eighth mission, Alex dished out his own Blackmail. He had stolen a video of himself on his Point Blanc mission. He threatened to show the police, then the government.

Blunt sat back and smiled.

"You've learned well, Alex. Go home."
