AN: so here is chapter 2. I'm kind of on a role with this one. Also I have a lot of time to write. I don't own Alex Rider or The Hardy Boys. Enjoy.
Joey was beginning to think that Alex had lied to him and wasn't coming back. It had been 2 weeks since Joey had come home and he was being watched all the time. Also he was always on the watch for Alex. But he never showed.
"Do you think he'll come?" Joey asked Frank.
"I don't know. I hope so. I liked him." Frank responded.
The two were lying in their beds chatting. They had to be quiet or else mom and dad would come and scold them for not being quiet.
"I did too. He saved my life." Joey said as he drifted off to sleep.
Alex charged through the shopping centre in Bayport. He was being chased by Scorpia... again. They always sent their best assassins and they always failed.
Alex had received a mystic letter from a 'friend' asking him to go to the shopping centre. He followed it up and had been met with Scorpia almost killing him...again. He was getting tired of them. Now he was running for his life...again.
Alex dashed into a store that sells winter coats and snow suits. For July, it was weird place to be. He darted in between the racks of snow pants and hid there hoping they didn't see him enter. They did.
"Oh Alex! Come out come out wherever you are!" One of them taunted pointing his pistol in the general direction of the clothes racks.
"There." His partner whispered and pointed at where Alex was. The men raised their pistols and aimed. Alex ducked just as they fired. He weaves in and out of the clothes racks as the two men shot at him.
The mall police and the Bayport police managed to subdue them before they actually hurt someone.
"You can never hide Rider! We will always hunt you!" The first man called as he was being hauled away.
Alex snuck away trying to be inconspicuous. He decided that he couldn't hide anymore. He decided to go to the Hardy's and explain himself.
Just as he had these thoughts, a crashing blow was dealt to his skull and he lost consciousness.
AN: cliffhanger! I hope you liked it. Please review! They make me happy and encourage me to continue.
