THE PLAN: BREAK INTO MR. BLUNT'S OFFICE
THE REASON: WELL YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE...

They had received anonymous instructions to survey the area around Royal and General Bank; now they were waiting to see if Alex would turn up.

They weren't entirely sure who this Alex was, but MI6 and their boss seemed desperate to get him. He was to go straight to Mr Blunt's office, and they were going to find out why. They were breaking in.

PHASE ONE BEGINS:

Chloe and Becky were standing in the building opposite the Royal and General keeping watch for this "Alex Rider", whilst Caitlin and Coco were waiting round the back for Alex to enter. He was their queue to start climbing.
"Seems pretty desperate, don't you think?" Chloe asked, "To track down a 14 year old like this"
"I wouldn't say it was desperate. Determined perhaps, but not desperate," Coco replied thoughtfully through the ear com.
"You gotta admit it seems pretty desperate for MI6 to want a 14 year old kid." Becky said in agreement with Chloe.
"Guys". Caitlin interrupted. "We are 14."

"Ummm Chloe, Alex Rider at 12 o'clock." Interrupted Becky.
"Ok, game on team".

"So begins PHASE 2" spoke the deliberately eerie voice of Coco. Caitlin and ninja mark 2 AKA Coco made their way up the side of the building. The plan was for Coco to go incognito and let Caitlin in through the door, she continued up the building to check on Mr. Blunt. PHASE 2 was go!

While Coco and Caitlin where on their ninja mission, Becky was aiming first to take out the security cameras with an image replacement device, and secondly ,to bug the system, after getting all the information they needed that is. Chloe and Becky, in smart business dress, entered the bank. Surveying their surroundings with apparent disinterest, although of course the specially developed contacted lenses in their eyes where picking up all traces of hidden electronic bugs and storing all the information in video form. Information such as the buildings' structure (as seen by the in-built X-Ray device). The wiring system, and any security features where picked up and sent automatically back to based, double saved and stored in an unknown location for safe keeping, OCD or what!

The orders for Becky and Chloe were as follows:

"Go into the 'bank' and go to front desk. Get past the secretary and security guard by any means (although peacefully and unnoticed would be best as that give you more time to operate unsuspected)"

Having got to the nearest electronic suite without a single hitch, they met trouble. Mrs Jones, was pacing up and down, apparently teaching a lesson in the art of software manipulation, computer viruses. At the sight of two strangers, a puzzled and calculating look crossed Mrs Jones' passive visage.

' May I enquire as to your objective in coming here for I have never seen you before'. She said offering her hand.

'We wish to speak with you, alone'

Looking confused, yet cautious, Mrs Jones nodded. The class proceeded to file out.

' Then speak, who are you what are you doing....'

At this point Mrs Jones stopped speaking.

This is how it happened. As they shook hands, Chloe had activated her watch by absentmindedly stroking her wrist. On contact with Mrs Jones' skin the watch had exuded a small amount of temporarily paralysing gel. Mrs Jones' knees collapsed beneath her, sitting her in her chair, Chloe looked around for any cameras.

Now it may seem unlikely for a group of 14 year olds to walk into a bank, relatively unnoticed, but they were in disguise, a very good disguise, as Coco and Caitlin could work wonders with makeup.

Another thing you may have been wondering about is Mrs. Jones lack of caution when encountering the strangers, why had she shaken hands with them for instance, knowing nothing about them. The fact was that Mrs. Jones was trying to give herself enough time to alert security, using the small button, yes you guessed it, concealed in her watch.

Back to Becky, who is know sending back as much information to base as possible, particularly the information concerning Yassen (which she proceeds to delete) and one Mr. Alex Rider. After gathering all information of any use, she inserted her pen drive concerning a ferousiously adapted version of Trojan Horse and hit download, now that had to move, it was only a matter of time before someone realised the system was down, and they had to get out.
