THE NIGHT BEFORE THE MEETING
Toby's lying on her bed with her head buried on the pillow. She wanted to sleep, but she can't because she's been thinking about Jack. They've been dating for two years now and she can't believe that he wants to marry her and be with her for the rest of their lives. She knows that Jack loves her and she loves him, but she's scared. They are both agents and she's scared for their safety. She knows that they're good at what they do, but she can't shake away her fear.
Tired of her thoughts she decided to do some research about her partner for the mission. She got up and went for her computer. She knows hacking MI6 is bad even if they are on the same side, but being who she is she can't say no to what she's about to do.
For her, hacking the data base of MI6 is the same as hacking the data base of the CIA. And that means she's still one of the best when it comes to hacking. She searched for the file she's been looking for and found it under a heavy security and encrypted. There's nothing like a good challenge and she liked it.
As soon as she copied the file into her computer and exited the data base of MI6, someone knocked on her door and opened it. "Toby, Jack's here to see you." Noah said as he led Jack inside and left.
"Hey, Ev." Jack greeted as he plopped down on Toby's bed. "I see you've just hacked into another secured system."
"Good to see you too, Jack." Toby stood up and walked towards the bed and gave Jack a peck on the lips.
"I've heard from Uncle Alan that you have another mission. I just wanted to see you before you go." Jack said as he looked at Toby with longing.
"Thanks for coming here. It means a lot to me." Toby smiled at him and held his hand.
"I wished I could come with you." Jack said sincerely kissing Toby's hand. "But I guess I'll see you next week."
"Yeah, I'd love that." Toby said as she gently squeezed his hand.
"Return safe and sound, Toby. I don't want you to get hurt." Jack said standing up and pulling Toby with him and hugging her. "I love you, Toby."
"I love you too, Jack." Toby replied. They pulled away from each other and Toby followed Jack out of the house.
As Jack pulled open his car's door, he turned towards Toby and kissed her full on the lips and pulled away when they needed air.
"I'm going to miss that for a week." Jack smirked at Toby. She playfully punched him on the shoulder and smiled again.
"Good night, Toby." Jack said as he got into his car.
"Good night, Jack." Toby replied then Jack drove away.
Toby sighed. She's really going to miss him. She started to think about her mission again and it's not going to be easy. Then she remembered the file that she got and started to go back to her room.
She read Alex Rider's file and was impressed. She knew the boy was good, but didn't expect him to be this good. Even if what she's only reading is his personal profile and not his past assignments, she was still impressed.
The file reads:

His mother, Helen Rider died at the same time as his father; he was adopted and brought up by his uncle, Ian Rider, also an active agent with MI6 who was killed by an assassin named Yassen Gregorovich (See Stormbreaker file).
The boy was physically and mentally prepared for intelligence work from the earliest age by Ian Rider. He was equipped with languages, martial arts, and skills such as fencing, mountain climbing, white-water rafting, and scuba diving.
"Why does the names on the file familiar?" Toby asked under her breath. She decided to research more when she's on British soil.
Inside Alex Rider's room, he can be seen packing his stuff for his mission. Even if the mission is only in Great Britain, he will be staying at a different place for his cover. He remembered about the envelope that Mrs. Jones gave to him that contains his partner's personal profile. He went to his desk and grabbed the envelope and opened it. He found a small note that says:
Alex,
The envelope and the files will self-destruct in 10 minutes after exposing it to air.
