Title: Alex Rider and the Search for Love

Disclaimer: Sadly, I own nothing. Nothing at all, but the plot and other characters you don't recognize.

Summary: Pretty, yes she is. Sarah, what a name. Alex is on another mission, but what happens when this one gets personal?

Chapter 3: Meeting Sarah

Alex looked out of the helicopter window to see the hills of Scotland. They landed shortly after in a city called Edinborough, where Alex will be posing as a forgone exchange student. Alex will be living in the house for no more than 6 months. If the mission was not complete, they would have no hope.

"Ready?" Mrs. Jones asked as they walked out of the helicopter.

Alex stepped out of the helicopter and looked around. The sight of hills beyond hills only to reveal a stone mansion.

"Hello?" Alex called out as walking through the door. The sound of heals clicking on the wooden floor made Alex turn around. There she was. Katie.

"And you are?" Katie asked, and sounded as if she was bored.

"I...I...I'm...I'm..." Kait rolled her eyes and sighed. "Kyle." Kyle? That's the best you could come up with?

"Yeah okay. Well Kyle, tours of a priviate residence is off limits, so go back to where you came from." And with that said she turned around to leave.

"No! Wait! Im Kyle...uh... Kyle the forgin exchange student." Alex explained.

"Oh." Katie didn't seem to thrilled. "Yeah Daddy's in the office." Katie pointed at the door to Alex's left.

Knock, knock. "Come in" Said a deep voice. Alex opened a door to find a secluded office, with no light, no computer, just a desk.

Alex cleared his throte. "Hello. I'm Kyle."

"I heard about you. What's your last name Kyle?" My last name? Alex drew a blank.

"Smith." Smith?Alex thought, how lame. How common.

"Well Kyle Smith, welcome! Your room is 3rd floor the third right."

Alex walked up 3 flights of steps and opened the third door on the right. The room was facing the pool (I would call it a lake by the size of that!) and had huge windows. Alex drew the curtains open and looked at the sight. Perfect. Alex thought. The pool was curently occupied by the one and only Sarah.

Alex soon snaped out of his trance to be worried. How am I going to finish my mission with HER there? A total distraction. Just don't look at her. Alex thought. Like that would work. (A/N: He's 16- give him a brake)

With all that in mind, Alex walked off to take a cold shower.

You know what to do. (Review for all of those who are a bit slow. Don't worry I am one of them) That's all for now
