Chapter One: Aftermath

Alex Rider lay on a white mattress at a hospital. He was shot by a sniper hired by world terrorist organization, SCORPIA, and he managed to survive. He was on the brink of death when agents from Mi6 rescued him. He woke up and sat on the bed. He remembered seeing his parents before passing out. He touched his chest, only to find a bandage wrapped around it. Jack Starbright, who heard Alex get up, walked towards his bed and intercom for a nurse.

"How're you feeling?" she asked, concerned.

"My chest still hurts, but otherwise, I'm fine," he replied, smiling.

A nurse entered the room with a young doctor. He checked Alex and scribbled on a pad before requesting Jack Starbright to leave the room as he needed to talk to her. They left the room, only for the Chief of Mi6 Special Operation, Alan Blunt and his second in command, Mrs. Jones to enter his private ward.

"Alex, you gave us quite a scare! How are you feeling?" asked Mrs. Jones, concerned.

"I'm fine," Alex replied.

Alan Blunt then spoke, "Alright, Alex. We have tracked down and are determined that SCORPIA is responsible for your fatal accident. I have a proposition for you. As you can see, SCORPIA believes you are dead. We need you to infiltrate and find out the current operation their headed to. We'll try to keep you in shape after you have recovered from your injury and …"

Before Alan Blunt could continue, Alex had just blasted out his rage. "WHAT! You want me to get back into action after I have just been shot and came out of this ordeal alive? You are just using me! I am sick of working for you all. For your information, no thank you, I would not like to be involved with your operations again"

"Alex…" Mrs. Jones started, but before she could continue, Alex had disappeared from the room to find Jack.

Alan Blunt said, "I think I can get him to go on this mission."

"For Heaven's sake, Alan. Don't you think it's unfair for us to keep using Alex? I mean, putting Earth in his hands?" Mrs. Jones asked.

"This time, he will be joined with CIA's latest recruit," Alan Blunt replied as he sat down on a chair.

"You mean…" Mrs. Jones started.

"Exactly, he will be joined by another child agent. Same age, I think. Most possibly they can save the world," Alan Blunt stated.

"Give him some time, I mean, to get over this ordeal," Mrs. Jones appealed.

"Most definitely. Let's say three weeks for him to keep into shape. Then, good luck to him," Alan Blunt replied.

Alex Rider never did return to Brooklyn after that accident. He was at Mi6 training. Once again, Alan Blunt managed to "persuade" him to stay and accomplish another mission. He was training with Wolf, his SAS companion when Mi6 sent him to train before the Storm Breaker mission.

"What's up, Cub? You look gloomy," asked a concerned Wolf.

"Nothing, it's just that I have to finish this mission with another teenage spy. I hope I will come out of this alive, though," Alex replied.

"Well, Cub. Let me share a little bit of experience with you. Don't think about anything else besides the mission. After accomplishment, you can think about other matters. I don't want to boast or anything, but I find that method really good for myself. Alright, see you, Cub. And good luck," Wolf stated as Alex left his final training with Wolf.

"Thanks for the advice. Goodbye, Wolf," Alex replied.

Alex Rider entered Alan Blunt's office to be brief regarding the mission. "Alex, as you know, SCORPIA, is the world terrorist organization and is responsible for one tenth of world terrorism. This is very tragic as I have to announce that Mr. Kellner has indeed been murdered by SCORPIA. This came as a tragic shock to the Prime Minister, you see."

"He was on a vacation with his family at the Caribbean. We were pretty sure that SCORPIA was responsible for the explosion on his private yacht. Now, back to business, Alex. We would send you to Rome, Italy, where you and your partner, Kristine, would infiltrate the Widow's Palace and send us any information on their latest operation," Mrs. Jones said.

"Hang on a minute. You mean my partner is a… a girl! I didn't know that girls were as capable…I mean…" Alex said but was cut out by a female voice.

"Oh, shut up! Don't look down on the opposite gender just because they look weak," said a girl who Alex suspected to be his partner.

Alan Blunt then introduced, "Alex, I would like you to meet your new partner…Kristine Jennings. She would be your competitor, as she has quite some field experience. Of course, you have saved the world far more times than she have, but let's just get back to the topic. She has been briefed and do you understand your objectives, Alex?"

"Probably," he replied.

"Alright, then. Don't dilly-dally. Go up to Smithers and check what he has prepared for you. You too Kristine," Alan Blunt said as they left his office.

"So…welcome to my life," Alex said.
