Yassen says that the plane will arrive there in a couple hours, so most of the time spent on the plane we talk about our mission.
"Mom got taken by SCORPIA? Why is it my family?" I ask Yassen and he laughs before noting that I was serious.
"Alex your family isn't innocent. You come from a very long line of spies dating as far back as your great grandparents. SCORPIA was the top priority to get down, that was just carried along. Your grandparents trained your father and uncle, and your other grandparents trained your mother. To tell the truth John and Helen have known each other for a very long time. They even in fact trained with each other. Ian was always jealous of John getting Helen, but she wasn't to much into younger men."
"How long have they been there, and how in the world are they still alive? If it were me, they would kill me on the spot. Why do they want to hurt them so bad?" I ask and Yassen breaths in deep.
"They want revenge Alex. You're mom's been there since your encounter with SCORPIA, your father, not so long." Yassen says and I then think of something else.
"Yassen, if you are so hated why aren't you in a get up?" I ask and he smiles before looking me in the eyes.
"I can take care of myself when it comes to staying out of sight from SCORPIA, do remember I am older and I've had much more practice. You on the other hand do have tendency to get caught while on missions. Ian was right about not letting you go, you understand that right?" He asks and I sigh before answering.
"Yes, I understand it, but why is he treating me like such a little kid. It's been a while since he's been alive to me and things have changed. He can't just tell me what I can and can't do. I didn't need him when he was gone, why do I need him now?" I ask and Yassen looks hurt. "Alex you uncle loves you, as does your brother, and believe it or not they don't want you to get hurt. Yes Ian knows you are not a child, and he knows a lot of things have changed, but he wants to keep you safe. You've got to understand Alex, you are a child. Your 14 years old, still in school, you don't even have a drivers licenses. Alex you are still a child, and if you expect your uncle and parents not to treat you as such you should be disappointed because I know they will." I know he's right but I don't want him to get to know that so I change the subject.
"Can we just talk about the mission?" I ask and look out the window thinking about what he said.
"Sure we can." He says and the rest of the flight we talk about the mission and what we will do.
We land 3 hours later and get off the plane in silence. Knowing what to do Yassen and I walk down the air strip and into the nearest building waiting for a shuttle to take us where we need to go. The shuttle ride is quick and quiet, but it gets us where we need to go. Soon we are at a boat dock and getting on the motor boat in the sun light, it doesn't seem suspicious at all. Soon we are on the water getting deeper and deeper into the river to where nobody is around, not even cars on the near interstate. Yassen soon pulls the boat over and gets out on the near land to pull the boat up to the shore. With SCORPIA in sight we make the rest of the way on foot, deciding to sneak in from the underground tunnels Yassen knows about. We are soon met with darkness and I know that it wont be long until we are deep inside the body of SCORPIA.
"Stay close to me." Yassen says and walks against the wall of the tunnel finding no body around, maybe this tunnel is abandoned. Quietly walking on the dirt we soon make it undiscovered to a four way fork in the road. Yassen looks at me before his face lights up.
"Alex, take your phone out." He whispers and I do so before he takes it from my hands and cuts the blue tooth on.
"What are you doing? I haven't connected it with anyone yet."
"I connected Ian's with yours last night." He says and I turn around at to be on the look out.
"I wouldn't worry about that Alex, they know we're here, if they really wanted us this early in the game they would of found us already. Don't let it on that we know. Play along." he says and I wonder how he knows this.
"How do you know this?"
"Cameras in the all four tunnels, I saw the lights flashing, they should really hide that more. The good thing is they don't know you're Alex Rider. Now what we are going to do is make a distraction, meaning follow and play along." He then pushes me down and spins around while pushing buttons on my phone. I see four rays of light and hear four classes crash. I get up and look at him in wonder.
"The cameras in here are taken out. If you see a red flashing light, shoot your laser at it. Make sure not to miss, we don't have time for second chances. Besides I'm sure all the agents are with the hostages right about now. Come on Alex, we've got to find your uncle, and by the looks of my phone, here take yours, it looks like we go that way." he points to the left, and taking my phone I adventure on against the wall and smoothly take out the first two cameras. "Just like that Alex, you know what your doing. No need to coach you." Yassen then takes the lead and does the same as me. We knock out all the cameras while making it up the tunnel without getting caught. Soon we are doing the same thing to another tunnel, and another, before Yassen turns to his right and beckons me toward him. I go to him quickly to see why he stopped, and soon see the five agents standing in the hall.
"Well, well, well if it isn't our company. We've been expecting you." A man says and smirks at our little game. "No need to play, we know where you are, and we know what you want, to bad your not getting it. You've been played, you foolish, foolish, spies. Get them boys." Suddenly I feel unknown arms wrap around my head and I fight against them, seeing that Yassen's in the same situation. I get away from the man behind me only to be caught by another. After sending that one packing I am met by three at the same time, who get me under control no matter how hard I fight. They've also contained Yassen.
"Keep fighting and it'll only be worse for you and your family Alex, but don't worry I'll let you see them before you die. Take them to the others." I fight as the blind fold is being put on, but then settle down trying to feel the direction we are going. I memorize the direction before we stop and are thrown to the floor. I hear a loud bang and some gasps before I'm pulled up into the sitting position and the blind fold is taken off. I'm soon face to face with the one person I thought I would never get to know, my mom.
