Alex Rider and the Search for Love- Dead (chapter 5)
Recap: Alex and Sarah are flying to God knows where in a helicopter. This weird guy knows about Alex, knows everything because he left everything at the house. And yes, Alex still has a crush on Sarah. Back to the story…
Alex and Sarah rode in silence, with tension so thin you could cut it with a knife.
"Sarah?" Alex asked.
"Yeah?" She answered timidly.
"I'm sorry for earlier." He apologized.
"Where are we going?" She asked.
"No clue." Alex said truthfully.
"You don't KNOW? WHERE ARE WE GOING TO GO?" Sarah yelled through tears.
"Hey, calm down okay?" Alex put his hand on her knee. He took a deep breath. "You see down there?" Alex pointed to an open field. Sarah nodded. "That is where we are going to land."
On the ground-"Where are we?" Sarah asked.
"We are in the territory of a boarding school called, 'Point Blanc'." Alex saw the consern on Sarah's face. "Don't worry okay?" Alex tried to reasure her, although he wasn't sure himself. He took Sarah's hand and guided her up to the school.
"How do you know this? And how do I know I can trust you?" Sarah pulled her hand away and stepped back.
"Listen Sarah, I work for the M16. I know it's Point Blanc because the sign says so." Alex didn't metion his mission, because he knew it would freak her out, if she belived him.
"What a bunch of shit. You think I believe it?" Sarah rolled her eyes. She walked up next to the road. "You coming or just stand there all day?" She asked. Sarah smiled at teh face Alex pulled and grabbed his hand and draged him up the hill.
"Alex is fine." The male vocie said.
"Who is this?" Blunt asked through the phone.
"That isn't important. But what is-"
Sarah and Alex walked through the front door to the Acadamy, surprised it was standing. He looked around and smiled. It looked all the same. There was the library, the statues, everything reminded him of the boys, and that whole mission.
Alex saw the look on Sarah's face and was amused. "What?" He asked.
"It feels weird here. Scary you know? Like a bad place you know?" Sarah explained.
Alex smiled at the sight. "Alex?"
All that could be herd was the hard breathing of Alen Blunt. "Alright."
"Very wise choice."
Alex turned around to see the holder of the voice which he knew so well. "Sabina?" She ran over and gave him a hug, while Alex picked her up off her feet and swung her around.
"I can't believe it! We haven't seen eachother in 3 years!" She smiled.
"Sarah, Sabina. Sabina this is my friend Sarah." Sarah smile through the tears and turned around, pertending to be interested in the wall.
"So whats with you and Sarah?" Sabina asked. Alex laughed.
"Nothing, just friends. Hey, where is the administration office?" He asked.
"This way, come on." Alex assumed Sarah had followed, but was wrong after stepping into the room.
Blunt could not believe what he had just did. He had lost a agent so easily. It was like butter slipping through his fingers. Not only was he their best one, but he was a teenager with a full life ahead of him. A single tear rolled down his face, a feeling that he hadn't felt for so long came over him. He had pinpointed Alex's location and sent Mrs. Jones right away.
"What are you doing here?" Alex asked.
"Uh Alex I was thinking, maybe the M16 isn't cut out for you I mean you could get killed-" She tried to explain until Alex cut her off.
"What? I had almost got kiled over 3 times and NOW you say something? After I herd about my father, I'm sure more than ever that M16 is waht I want to be apart of." Alex gulped.
"Well, you are being pulled off." Mrs. Jones hoped this solved everything. "You are now a regular 16 year old boy, just like you wished. Goodbye." Mrs. Jones walked away and Alex saw he leave, forever.
"So, when did you meet Alex?" Sabina asked.
"Oh, about a month ago." Sarah said short, not wanting to make much convocation. "You?"
"Oh. He was vacationing with my faimily and me, when my Dad got almost got killed. But, anyways what are you doing here?" She asked, trying to get off the subject.
"Long story. But overall, I think we might stay here." She concluded.
"Great! I haven't talked to Alex in forever. We can catchup!" Alex then walked into the room and Sarah turned to leave.
"Hey!" He caught her hand, "Why are you leaving?" He asked. Sarah looked him in the eye and ran off. Alex chased her down stairs, and out the door to the school and finally caught up with her. "What are you doing?" He asked out of breath.
"Why do you care?" She asked through tears. "All you care about is her!" Sarah turned but Alex caught her.
"Who?" He asked.
"Her! Sabrina or whatever her name is."
"Sabina? What do you think is going on?" He asked.
"Oh be real Alex. You know there is still something there. Go back to her. I bet she's waiting." Sarah said coldly. She walked down the hill further.
"Sarah listen! I havn't talked to her in years! I havn't thought about her nearly as much asI do you!" Alex explained.
"How do you expaect me to believe that?" She asked.
"Because I love you." Alex said. It was like word vomit (if you have ever seen the movie Mean Girls) he couldn't control it.
"You what?" She asked.
Alex gulped in realization of what he had just said. "I...I love... I love you." He said again.
Sarah look at him in astonishment. She looked into his eyes, and saw something she had never noticed, fear. He was afraid of what she would say, or wouldn't.
"Well isn't this a coincidence?" She said smothly. Alex was afraid.She was going to milk it for all it's worth. "Wow. The hero is now afraid huh? Afraid of what?" She walked backwords toward the school.
Alex straightned up. "What are you talking about? I'm not afraid!"
"Oh really?" Sarah said walking backwards up with hill. "I think differently." She said.
"And how would you know IF I was scared?" He asked following her up the hill.
"It's all in the eyes." She explained and made a run for it. Alex chased her up the hill and into the school.
