THE TRAINING ROOM
It was 3:30 in the afternoon Alex was at home sitting on the sofa watching some old movie that he didn't understand with his housekeeper Jack sitting next to him. Alex hadn't talked much to Jack since he had come back from MI6. Jack stood up and went into the kitchen properly to put on the kettle for tea Alex also stood up and walked across to the stairs and clomped up to his room and slumped onto his bed. About half an hour later Jack called him down for tea he climbed down the stairs and walked into the kitchen. Jack and Alex sat down and the small dining room table and stared at there cups of tea and waited for them to cool, there was an awkward silence in the room finally Jack broke the silence by saying "So what do you want to do tomorrow then" "I don't know, what do you want to do." Said Alex It was then that the phone rang Jack went to answer it she talked for a moment then hung up she came in with a upset look on her face "That was MI6 they want you to come and talk to them at 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon" said Jack. The rest of the day past uneventfully and Alex went to bed early at 9:30pm.
He woke up late at 11 o'clock in the morning. He had fish and chips for lunch he ordered from the fish and chip shop down the road because Jack refused to cook things that take longer than five minutes. At 4:15 he set off for the tube station and he was outside the offices of the royal and general bank on Liverpool Street at 4:55pm he walked into the reception of the offices of MI6 to his surprise Smithers was waiting for him in the reception "Come on Alex lets go down to my lab I have a few surprises for you" said Smithers Alex followed Smithers into the lift there was barely enough room for them both to squeeze in to the lift Smithers typed in a code to a panel on the wall next to him and the lift slowly descended to the basement and after what felt like an hour the lift door opened into a huge area full of men and women running around in white coat and shelves packed full of very random objects "Come on lets go into my private lab follow me" said Smithers, Alex followed Smithers past a row of shelves and what looked like a shooting range and through a door into a large room that had 4 benches around the walls but that was the only thing in there Alex stepped inside he realised that the floor was made of some bouncy material like rubber just as he walked in the door at the other end of the room a tall girl walked in Alex realized that this must be Smithers daughter "Alex this will be your partner my daughter Alice" said Smithers "How do you do" said Alice raising her hand Alex shook her hand but when he tried to take his hand away he found out that it was stuck like there had been super glue on her hand. It was then that he realized what the soft floor was for and he almost laughed it was a training room. It was then that Alice lashed out Alex instinctively blocked using his free hand but even so he felt the power of the blow run through him she instantly pulled her hand away into a block position and instead of attacking with her free hand she lashed out with he right foot but Alex side stepped out of the way but then he saw her reach for a button on her jacket he realized what was going to happen and jumped into the air supported by his hand that was still impossible stuck to Alice's hand and flipped over he was now standing behind her and before she could retaliate he lashed out with his leg and hit her in the back of the knee she fell and Alex was taken to his knee's with his hand still attached to Alice's hand. Smithers clapped "Bravo well done" said Smithers, Alice reached up and pressed a button on her watch his hand came free from her hand he fell back and slowly got to his feet. "Well done" said Alice getting to her feet "Come on let go through to my real lab" said Smithers Alex and Alice followed Smithers through the door Alice came through in the beginning to find a huge room full of all sorts of objects and papers Smithers walked over to a desk Alex and Alice followed him "Sit down" said Smithers Alex sat down but Alice stayed standing just as Alex sat down a women came in carrying two large suitcases and then two men came in carrying all sorts of camping equipment now Alex lets start with your gadgets.
