Hey! So, turns out my Spring Break was busier than I planned! Sports took up the first half of my day, followed by homework and other stuff depending on which day. So, I didn't get to write as much as I would have liked. But, this is it! The final chapter in The Trouble With Spies! I am also happy to remind people - there will be a sequel called The Good Thing About Spies. Plus, we made it over 100 reviews! Woohoo! Thank you to everyone who made that happen!

Ranger Amethyst - Thank you for your idea, and I'm sure I would have figured out some way for that to work, but I had sudden inspiration for this.

Guess What Im On Team Delena - It was just an idea i had at the very beginning. It ties everything in better with the rhyme. Other than that, though... completely random.

This chapter takes place after Scorpia Rising, except Alex became an official MI6 spy. He lives at Brecon Beacons with K-Unit when he isn't on missions.

I do not own Alex Rider.

Alex Rider, nineteen years old and MI6's number one spy, held in a scream as he fell twenty-three stories. He spun in mid-air as the thirty miles per hour winds hit him, causing the hard concrete speckled with the colors of cars to flash into his line of sight. As he spun again, turning his gaze to the skyscraper towering above him and slightly blocked from sight by the fast moving gray clouds, the spy cursed Jones for the fifth time in two days.


It all started forty-eight hours before, when Alex was returning from a hike in the mountains with K-Unit at Brecon Beacons. He had intended to head for the showers before grabbing a bite - no matter how horrible - to eat. Instead, he had been accosted on his way into the cabin by a new recruit. He was told a Mrs. Jones was waiting for him in the sergeant's office. That was the first time Alex cursed the head of MI6.


The second occurred when Cub was told of his mission. Play bodyguard to the prime minister, while spying on the others. They suspected a plot against him. Alex argued that a rookie could do it, Jones replied that as it was the prime minister of England in danger, he had a duty to do it as the best spy in the world. Then she ordered him to go.


Alex had only been undercover for a day when he was discovered. This led to him being tied up and tortured for two hours. During this, Jones was cursed for the third and fourth time.


After Alex escaped, he was chased to the top of the skyscraper - which had twenty-three stories - where he fell off the roof as he dodged a bullet. This brought him to cursing the head of MI6 for the fifth time.


As Alex passed the twentieth floor, he began to panic. He could see no way out of this. None of Smithers gadgets would work. And, not for the first time, but most certainly the last, his life began to play before his eyes.

In seconds, there was a loud thump and a crack as Alex's body hit the pavement, followed by the blaring of car horns and dozens of people dialing 999.


Three hours later, Agent Ben Daniels could be found yelling at his boss, "What do you mean he's dead?! Alex is only nineteen! Not to mention he's the best spy-"

"Exactly," Mrs. Jones interrupted. "Alex was a spy, Agent Daniels. And the trouble with spies is their lives zip by."

So, there you go! I can officially declare The End for this story! However, please review so I know what you think!
