Alex P.O.V
I slowly walk out the door of the house, waiting for Jack to get in front of me, because she has the keys. Not wanting to be in the rain for to long I wait for her to unlock the car, and once she does I run out to the backseat behind the driver. I get in and buckle up, then lean back, stretching out. I close my eyes and I don't notice when Jack get's in the car.
"You could of sat up front Alex." She says looking back at me through the mirror. "Oh, you wanted to lay down. I get it. We'll be at the bank soon, try not to fall asleep." She says and I can only nod. I feel the car start to move and my eyes start to close with heaviness like lead. I close my eyes for a second, then I fell Jacks hand on my shoulder shaking me softly. "Come on Alex. Let's get this over with." She says and helps me sit up, she then puts my hood over my head and I get out of the car trying not to have a coughing fit.
"Jack." I say and she looks at me concerned. "I don't feel good."
"I know Alex. I know. Let's see what the jerk wants this time, the sooner we get in there, the sooner I can get you back home and back to bed." She says softly and I follow her inside the back. I see many spies as I enter the building, I even see Ben, who smiles at me. I manage a small tired smile before turning to Jack.
"Excuse me, we're here to see Alan Blunt." She says to the woman softly at the desk at front.
"I'm sorry, no one by that name works here." The woman with black hair and long fingers says, continuing to type away at her key board.
"Yea, yea lady. Save the act." Jack says and the lady pushes a button on the side of the desk. Jack and I step back to the wall and wait for the door to open. A second later Mrs. Jones is opening that door and smiling at us. I roll my eyes and wonder what they have up for me this time.
John's P.O.V
"YOU WHAT!" I yell at Blunt eyeing him with every word I spit in his face, out of the corner of my eye I see Ian hissing and flinching at the sudden loudness.
"Listen John, we had to use Alex." Blunt explains but I cut him off.
"Alex is my son. My only son. He's 14 years old. He should be in this, and you are sorry for dragging him into it. How did you even get him to do all this anyway? Huh?" I keep myself from yelling, but slam my fist on his desk hard.
"He offered." Blunt says almost calmly.
"Bull." Ian says from the back, I turn to look at him and ask him what he said. "Bull, I said bull. Alex would never do that. I kept this a secret from Alex. I made darn sure that Alex never new anything about this, but I prepared him incase he wanted to do this. I was going to tell him when he turned 18, but as you can see they did something to make him work for them. Alex doesn't just do things like this, he enjoys life to much." Ian says, and I just smile at Blunt.
"You better hope that my son talks me into taking pity on you when I come at him with all these things." I say and see the door open from my side view. I see Mrs. Jones leading a blond American woman and a blond child, who looks like Helena. I hear gasp and the blond woman runs to Ian.
"Oh Ian. What the heck? How are you alive?" She asks, her voice is soft and it seems like she crying. He stands up and hugs her, then they both look in the room and Alex is just standing there looking dazed.
"Jack, I must be more sick that I though. I must be dreaming, or running a too high fever or something because I see Uncle Ian." He says and I see the smile on Ian's face as he walks over to Alex and hugs him. He then holds him at shoulders length and takes his image in. After he takes a good look at him, he places the back of his hand on his forehead and sighs.
"You are very sick Alex. Sorry you had to come here today but we have very important news to inform you about."
"How are you alive?" Alex ask not even caring about the news.
"Long story. I'll tell you all about it after we get this settled, but first, look around.. Who else might you know."
Alex's P.O.V.
I look around the room and notice Blunt, and Jones behind the desk as usual, Jack sitting in Uncle Ian's chair and another man sitting in the chair beside her. I think I've seen the man before, but I cant place him. I was giving up until I saw his eyes, then I knew.
"Dad?" I ask and the man with the jet black hair swallows hard, only managing to nod as he stands. "Are you really my dad?" I ask and the man stops beside Uncle Ian.
"Yes Alex. You are my one and only son. I am you dad." he says slowly, seeing how I'll take it first. I look at Uncle Ian and he just nods.
"Really?" I ask and again he nods, I then give him a hug, a hug I've been wanting for years. I hear him laugh, and he wraps his arms around me tightly.
"I've missed you so much kiddo." He says softly in my ear and I blink back tears.
"I cant believe this. They told me that you died." I say and then get out of his hug and point to Uncle Ian and look at Blunt. "And they faked your funeral. By the way, it sucked." I hear Uncle Ian laugh and Blunt clears his throat.
"Let's get down to business shall we?" He ask and I nod going over by Jack. I continue to stand waiting for the news to be brought out, but notice everyone's looking at me.
"What?" I ask and wipe my nose. "Did I grow another head?" I ask and Ian laughs before grabbing my shoulder softly and leading me to sit down in the chair.
"Ok, Alex you are in danger. SCORPIA, they are after you." Blunt says and I just give him a skeptic look.
"How do you know?" I ask, and he looks annoyed.
"You father and uncle have been on that mission since your uncle's death. They got the information that we need to know that your in trouble and need protection. Your whole family does. Listen to this Alex." He says and pushes play on a recorder. It says in English, Our next target is Alex Rider. I hear Jack gasp at the words and I lean back, letting my head roll back to rest against the chair back.
"Fine, I believe you." I say then force myself to look at him. "So what are we going to do?" I ask and he just laughs.
"Well I've got that figured out. Jack is going back to America. You, your father and your uncle will all be going to Brecon Beacons." I groan at his words and my eyes wide.
"Not that place." I say remembering the days I spent with K-Unit.
"Yes that place. Ian and John will be able to train there and, you shall be able to also." he says and dad stands up defensibly.
"You will never use him as a spy again. So no he will not be training. He will be watching us train, he will be their for protection, and because we are there, but no other reason got that Blunt?" He asks and I feel goose bumps form on my arms from the way his voice is.
"We actually might need Alex for this mission."
"Over my dead body." dad answers swiftly.
"We will discuss this later, right now we must get you people safe. Jack your plane will leave in one hour. Ian, Jack, and Alex, you need to go home now get your stuff then you leave straight for B.B got that?" Mrs. Jones demands Uncle Ian who just nods at her.
"Good now go. And I would take the things you may want for the rest of your life, baby pictures ectra, no telling how long that house will last, knowing as it's the house the Riders are listed under."
"I'll talk to you, John and Ian, later. I will be making my way down to Brecon Beacons tomorrow, once you've gotten settled in. You will be residing with K-Unit."
"My old unit. Great." I say and Dad just looks at me.
"That was my line."
