She knew who it was! The mystery woman was Jodie. Kristyn was confused, how could someone she thought she knew so well be not who she thought? She had thought Jodie was a kind loving mother, and now… well what could she think? She could keep quiet and maybe it would be someone else… But that would be naïve. She would have to face it. But how to prove it?
Kristyn looked at her clock, it was 7:00. She decided to get up and shower then wake Alex. After a nice long shower, resulting in the hot water to run out, she dressed and had breakfast. She woke Alex, first by poking his stomach repetitively until he hit her in the arm. When that didn't work, she whispered, "Gideon…Gid…Gid…" She got louder until she yelled in his ear "Wake Up!"
"WHAT!" he yelled back at her. He got out of bed and she stood up.
"Come with me for a walk?"
"Is that all? Geez." Then he saw her face and got what she meant. "Oh alright" he sighed
They wandered out the door half an hour later.
"Breakfast?" Alex said.
"Yeah, I'm starving"
"Mc Donald's it is." Alex continued, changing the subject. "So what's this all about?"
"Jodie."
"Who? Oh wait that's the woman who looks after you sometimes, huh?"
"Yeah she's the mystery woman."
"I don't get it. Jodie, if is the mystery woman, wouldn't she have killed you at her house? And doesn't she work for MI6?"
"Yeah..." she waited for Alex to catch on.
"I get it. Whats the plan?"
An hour later they were dropped up to The palace by Rosemary.
They wandered around looking through the glass doors and into the upper floors boardrooms. They found what they were looking for. They walked into the boardroom marked -1067-. Sitting on they swivel chair Kristyn motioned for Alex to hide.
They heard footsteps. Purposefully striding into the room came Jodie Linden. Kristyn swung around. Jodie almost stepped back in shock, but recovered quick enough.
"Who're you?" She asked, astounded.
"You know me Jodie." Kristyn answered.
"Kristyn," Jodie said as she readied herself for attack,"I should have known."
"But you didn't." and with that Kristyn got up and walked over to Jodie. Jodie punched Kristyn in the face. Totally unready, Kristyn rolled with the punch and fell backward. In seconds, Jodie had Kristyn on her back. Placing her high-heeled foot on
Kristyn chest, Jodie said, "Where's the boy?"
"I dunno, I left him back at the house when I realised it was you. I wanted to come after you myself." Kristyn bluffed. That was Alex's cue. Quietly he crept up behind Jodie. "Why, Jodie? Why are you mixed up with this bunch?"
"When Rina's father and I met, he was on a mission. So was I. My mission was to kill him. His was to kill my Boss, My sister." Jodie whipped around, but it was too late.
Alex had her. He held her arms against her back and forced her to the ground. Kristyn jumped up and ran over to Alex. She got out the packing tape she'd brought and taped up Jodie's hands.
"So, you were saying?"
Jodie looked at Kristyn like she was chewing gum stuck to her shoe. But she continued. "We fell in love and were married. MI6 wanted none of it, but Hugh was a top agent. They employed me as a double agent. I worked for SCORPIA and all was good. Until Alex Rider. When Yassen died, we knew he'd tell Alex about his father. So we planned a party for him. But none of it worked and Alex killed my sister. And then you. You led an MI6 destruction party through our headquarters in Germany. Dr Three wanted to personally torture and kill you then. But I had the perfect idea."
Just then footsteps were heard in the hall. Alex and Kristyn looked at each other as the door slammed open and about 20 men and woman came in. Oh Shit! Thought Kristyn as she went into fight mode. But nothing happened. She felt a pinprick in the back of her neck. Next thing she knew, she was somewhere dark, behind bars.
"Alex!" She yelled, if only to hear his voice.
"Right here!" Her eyes adjusted and she saw another cell across from hers. Think, Kristyn, Think! She examined the bars. She tried kicking them all. They were reinforced steel and it hurt. She saw Alex fiddling with his ear.
"What are you doing Alex; we've got to get out of here."
"Are you stupid? Use your Belly bar!"
Kristyn felt like an idiot, but she pulled up her top and unscrewed her belly bar. She stuck it into the lock and waited. Finally the locked was gone and the cell door opened. Walking out she hugged Alex. Then they ran back upstairs. They had been searched and they're ipods and lasers were gone, but somehow they had to contact MI6.
Well, there you go, was it worth the wait? I hope so. Ill start typing the next chapter right as soon as im finished posting this, kay? Love you for reading, I will love you all even more if you review!!!
