After she left Alex's house, Ally thought about her ingenious plan. If Alex Rider thought for one second that she could be treated like a fool. He was not as clever as she thought, because today would be the day that Allison Victoria Johnson would stand up for her rights! And she will not be under looked! because she is afraid of no one...apart from her mum but even bloody Hercules would be afraid of her.

Ally finished her homework at around half past 1 and made her way into the garage armed with only a torch. A map and £5.30, then she waited. Half an hour later she finally saw Alex get out of his house and get into car. Ally stood up just as the car left started going down the road and then she ran like hell. She caught a taxi. Everything was going exactly to plan.

"Follow that car!" Ally screamed to the driver later feeling like she was in a cheesy movie.

The driver was more then happy to obey so long as he got his pay. Meanwhile, Alex has spotted Ally, well to be honest he had spotted her a long time ago, but he was curious to know to which lengths this girl would follow him to find out the truth.

He went through secret tunnels that were strictly forbidden for the public and were private property of the British government only for the usage of members of parliament and government agents like himself. She still followed. He went through alleyways that only the most demented, vulgar criminals and drug dealers terrorised. The girl still followed. He went through some of the most deserted parts of Chelsea and she STILL followed. At this point Alex had had enough. He parked his car on the said of a quiet road and got out, the taxi also stopped not far behind. He went over to the taxi and paid the driver, he then opened the door of the taxi for Ally who stared at him, confused. He grabbed her wrist and guided her over to the Ferrari, he opened the door and practically threw her in. The taxi driver wasn't phased at all.

Alex was feeling both a mix of anger and confusion.

"Ally, do you realise how I angry I am! You break into my house, you read my messages and you follow me to work, I think you've made it quite easy for me not to trust you , now I'm going to ask you for the last time and if you lie, you'll regret it dearly. Do you know what I do?" Alex said trying to keep calm.

Ally genuinely felt ashamed and scared. She was trying to avoid making eye contact with Alex but she could feel his anger and felt that she would only make him more angry if she avoided him.

"I can genuinely say that I don't know what to do, I saw the note and I just let my curiosity get the better of me, I'm so so sorry, please don't hurt me!" Ally said, whimpering the last sentence.

Alex had of course been trained to spot the most believable of lies and Ally wasn't lying.

After a deep breath Alex said something that surprised Ally...A lot!

"If your going to keep trying to find out who I am I might as well tell you or rather show you"

Adrenaline rushed through Ally's body "where are we going?" she muttered


"The royal and general bank" Alex said starting the car.

Next chapter up tomorrow :)
