What?" Alex was startled by this.
"Clay has a bomb and is going to plant it somewhere in the New England Aquarium in Boston," said Smithers.
"But why?"
"We don't know. But we would like to find out. We also know that it is going to go off at three o'clock PM tomorrow afternoon. That's the busiest time of day there."
"What do I need to do to stop him?" asked Alex.
"I'm usually not supposed to brief you for missions, but Mr. Blunt gave me permission. Basically, we want you to locate Clay, and stop him," said Smithers.
"Do you know where he is now?"
"We think he is going to his home in Long Wood Towers that is on twenty Chapel Street. We also know that he drives a black Porsche Carrera."
Alex remembered being chased through Amsterdam by Porches.
"Is there anything else?" Alex asked.
"Yes, your girlfriend, Sabina Please is alive."
"What?" Alex almost cried tears of joy at that moment.
"The man with Clay, whose name is Daniel Amarken, asked Clay what they were going to do with 'the girl.' We believe that the girl is Sabina Pleasure. All of us here at MI6 hope she is alright," said Smithers.
"What did Clay say?" asked Alex.
"He said that Sabina was going to be killed in the aquarium bombing," said Smithers. "And, it looks like you'll have another gadget on the mission. A moped with all the features the bike you used to have and more. It has a new turbo booster and it is stable on ice. It also has a small navigator with Clay's address locked in."
"Where is the moped?"
"It's outside your hotel now. Hurry Alex, the fate of many rests in your hands." They said goodbye to each other and hung up.
"I'm going out," Alex announced to Jack.
"What are you talking about? It's almost nine o'clock. You can't go out," she said.
"I have to. I'll return, I promise," said Alex, and he walked out the door.
Alex zipped up his jacket as he walked outside. It was freezing cold. Alex was frigid.
He spotted the moped at the side of the hotel. It was electric green and there was an electric green helmet to go with it.
He started the engine and rode off into the street of Boston. Alex supposed since he was working with MI6 and hundreds of people's lives were at stake, he could speed. But to Alex's surprise, the moped's top speed was thirty miles per hour. But, the speed limit in Boston was thirty miles per hour, so he was in good shape.
He zipped past cars on the streets. He came so close to some that they cursed at him out the window of their cars.
Alex rode on the median line, hoping that a car wouldn't change lanes and hit him.
Alex looked at the navigation computer on the handlebars. Robert Clay's apartment was about two miles away.
Suddenly a voice said in his helmet, "Turn right here." Alex made an extremely sharp turn onto a street. He was almost hit by a car crossing lanes.
Alex rode down the new street and soon found himself in standstill traffic. He kept riding down the median, looking for the black Porsche. Alex saw it a few feet ahead.
Daniel Amarken was driving the car, and Clay and two men in black were in the back seat. Alex pulled up to Amarken.
"Hello, I believe you have my girlfriend," said Alex in a merry voice.
Amarken pulled out a gun and shot Alex in the Helmet. Alex waited to die, but he didn't. The helmet was bullet proof!
Alex heard Clay shout at Amarken, "He must be with MI6!"
Amarken drove the car right down the middle of the two lanes. He bumped into cars all the way. Alex followed after him.
Alex could tell that Clay would order Amarken to go faster, so Alex had to catch him now. Alex pressed an orange button on the handle bars, and a missile flew out of them and hit a civilian's car. It was a good thing the missiles weren't lethal.
Alex heard two engines coming up behind him. He glanced back and saw two men in black on motorcycles coming straight for him. Alex pressed the smoke screen button. Smoke came out the back of the moped. The motorcycles crashed into some cars and were totaled.
Clay was getting away. He was already far ahead of Alex. He had to get to Clay before he reached his apartment.
Alex speeded forward and took a few rear view mirrors with him. Clay was going above the speed limit now. Alex pressed the turbo booster and went forward at eighty miles an hour.
Alex soon over took Clay, but the traffic ended and Clay pulled to another lane. Alex continued to ride in his lane.
When Alex had pulled along side Clay, one of the men in black climbed out the window of the car. He was reaching for Alex's moped.
Suddenly a huge oil tanker was coming up in Alex's lane. Alex swerved around it and the man was hit by the tanker. He into the road and was run over by three cars.
Clay's car turned into Alex's lane and was behind Alex. A man climbed out of the sunroof and onto the roof of the car. He raised his gun to shoot Alex when he was knocked back into the car.
Alex had used his oil slick and the car was thrown off the road. But it still kept going. It pulled back onto the road and was in front of Alex.
Now was the perfect chance to get Clay. When he was close enough, Alex pressed the ejector seat button, and went flying through the air and landed on the Porsche.
A man in black climbed onto the roof via window. He took out a huge knife that shown in the night. He edged toward Alex. Alex saw a shiny metal symbol on the man's shoulder.
The man lunged forward. Alex moved to the side and ripped the metal object off the man's shoulder. The man turned around, and Alex flung the metal object into his neck.
Alex pulled it out of the man's neck and saw that it was the mark of Scorpia, and now it was all covered in blood.
