Not to mad about this chapter :( Kind of a filler, although action in next chap.
Big thanks to Wolfmonster who gave a big long review full of advice, if only you where my English teacher things would be a lot easier.
Can you belive after Wolfmonster's long review and all my hardwork the computer decided not to save my proofread :(
Maybe its just trying to tell me I'm hopeless, I think I managed to refind all of my mistakes though. Anyway..

Ben? His friend Fox? He had not been on his list of enemies. But then there was the incident of him leaving MI6.
Ben cautiously approached "promise you'll stay quite if I remove the tape?"
Alex nodded slowly.
"Okay, good" said Ben as he removed the tape.
"What the hell Ben!" he had no plans on staying quite
"Please Alex just listen"
"You knocked me out!"
"Well…emm..yes"
"Tied me up"
"Yes, but-"
"In a room"
"I know but-"
"You try to kill me and you want me to listen to you?"
"Alex listen please. I have never tried to kill you. In fact I'm trying to save you"
"By doing this?"
Ben ran his hands through his hair. "I had to get you out quickly and I couldn't explain in there in case I woke someone. You didn't come round in time so I had to leave you. I knew you wouldn't stay here so I had to tie you up" he blurted out quickly.
Alex studied him he seemed to be telling the truth.
"Then who is behind this?". Ben only needed to say one word and that word was "Blunt"

ARARARAR

Tom was starting to get worried about his friend as there was no sign of him. The sergeant was also going to cut their stay short and send them home tomorrow if Alex was not found soon.

They would be sent home the next day as Alex Rider would not be found.
He started to wonder if his best friend, teenage spy Alex Rider had simply done one to many missions.

ARARARAR

Alex looked at Fox carefully, "So you knock me out, tie me up in a room and it was really Mr Blunt who was trying to kill me along. And you know what the weird thing is? I'm not shocked one bit, but I do think Blunts going OTT on Operation Kill Alex Rider".
Fox nodded "The power went to his head."
Alex needed a plan, but for a plan to work fully he needed information. "Do you know who's helping him?".
"Crawly anyway for sure, and his brother, yes definitely his brother"
"Brother?" The idea Alan Blunt having a family kind of freaked him out.
"Yep, brother. He was just realised from jail for conspiracy and a whole long list of other things. But Blunt being who he was managed to cover him from media and get him realised was kind off how I was kicked out, there was to much back dealing on. Most other agents ignored it, I didn't and tried to investigate. Blunt caught me and threw me out"
Alex smiled, he was starting to see more and more similarities between him and Ben.

"The ferry for Ireland leaves at 7:30 am tomorrow we should be able to make it"
He looked at Ben, cocking his head sideways "um Ben, em you kind of lost me just there"
"We are going to hide in Ireland until we can think of a plan and get more help" said Ben slowly.
"We?"
"Yes Alex, we is an English word, it means-"
"-Ben I know what it means, but I don't want you to get involved ,you already did enough"
"I know Alex, that would be the safer option but really, where's the fun in playing safe?"
Alex sighed, he had a feeling Ben wouldn't budge easily.
"What's your excuse for being out here?"
"Me and K-Unit where supposed to search the woods, I took this section. I don't even know if I can trust them with the truth" Ben trailed off at the end.
Alex could see how much this hurt Fox, in SAS there was no secrets in the unit. Ben produced a knife and started cutting away his bounds. "I had better go now, I'll be back as soon as possible and their sending the kids home so I should be able to miss a few weeks of work"
"Ben"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks, like for every thing"
"No prob' kiddo"
If it where any other person calling him kiddo Alex would have a struck up an argument then and there. But what could he say, he was starting to grow on Ben. (FREINDship wise)
"And Alex try not get on any more 'Death Lists' while I'm gone".
Alex smirked and put his head back against the wall and closed his eyes.

Blunt wanting him dead but it wasn't that that most concerned him, it was all of the other things that Blunt was capable of doing. How many other teenage spies was he going to employ and then kill when they got to cocky? What if he was planning something bigger, he had a brother big into crime and well with the position Blunt was in it would be very easy for him to cause a disaster. One thing that Alex had no idea of, was how Ireland came into this equation.

It turned out Ben was actually half Irish on his mothers side and lived there until he was two. Getting on the ferry easy. Then a short trip across and docking in Rosslare all of which led him to here.
If Blunt wasn't going to kill him then Ben was. He was doing about 90 kilometres an hour along the old, twisty road. There was also that strange noise coming from the engine that didn't sound quite right. Eventually they pulled into a small farmyard which had chickens scattered all over it. He could see why Ben chose this location, it was barren and miles from civilisation of any kind.
"Um Ben where exactly are we". Ben looked around fondly at the place "my grandmothers and aunt place, I used to live here actually". Alex who was halfway out of the car pulled himself back in and slammed the door.
"Ben!"
"What?"
"I cant stay here. Its bad enough that your involved, but your grandmother and your aunt?"
"Relax Alex, my grandmother will be delighted that I'm finally doing something like this and as for my aunt it would do her the world of good"
"How would your grandmother be delighted?"
"Well… lets just say she never forgave my mother for running off with my dad an Englishman"
"So plotting to take down the head of MI6 is good according to her?"
"All her birthdays rolled into one"
Alex was staring to wonder if he was the only sane person on this island.

As they got out of the car they where greeted by a big hairy sheepdog, a dozen or so hungry chickens and a cat that had obese written all over it. Eventually they made it to the old wooden door which was sheltered underneath a roof of thatch. Ben raised the heavy bronze knocker which was shaped like a horses head and rapped it against the door. The door was opened by a woman in her 40's with brown hair pulled back into a ponytail. She immediately pulled Ben into a hug on sight.
"Ben who is this?" she asked . "Oh yeah this is Alex, he'll be staying here for a while if that's okay. Alex this is my aunt Niamh"(pronounce neev, I was going to use a different name but I said I'd teach you some Irish J) . They both nodded and said their hellos.

She led them into the kitchen.
"Ben, how are you?"
"Good Gran, and you?"
"I'm as young as ever, who is this?"
"Gran this is Alex Rider"
"Alex this is-"
"You can call me Mrs O'Reilly (Rielee) and nothing else I want to see manners off of you."
"Mam" warned Niamh
"What, those bloody English lads are all the same. So Ben, still working for that god damn government?"
Ben then went on to explain what he and Alex where doing, in brief. Throughout it he could see Niamh growing more worried and as for Mrs O'Reilly, well he had never seen someone smile so much

"Finally Ben" she said as he finished "I was starting to get worried about what you where doing in England". She turned to Alex "so your planning to bring down the head of MI6".
"Well we're going to try anyway."
She smiled "in that case you can call me Annie."

It wasn't until several hours later that Alex was able to escape from Mrs O'Reilly. He followed Ben up the stairs and into a tiny bedroom that was the length of the bed and not much wider. "So what do you think?" asked Ben sitting down beside him on the bed. "Well… she's a bit, y'know"
"Yeah shes a bit mad. Don't worry Alex we're not all like that here. Its just her father was shot by the English when she was real young and being 85 doesn't help matters either I suppose. Look get some sleep, we have a lot of work to do tomorrow."
"Night Fox"
"Night Cub"

Alex woke early that morning partly out of habit, partly because he was in a strange area but mostly because of that god damn chicken who Ben had informed him was called Ollie.

For the next several hours they tried to come up with plans and lists of other possible suspects, most of the paper ending up scrunched up, in a ball, in the paper basket.

Ben left for an hour and came back smiling. "Their in Ireland already and should be here soon. I've been talking to them and well, I think I can trust them"
Before Alex could ask who a jeep pulled up outside and out jumped the remainder of K-unit.
K-unit where back in buissness.

The scene before Alex was rather funny.
Him and K-Unit where all sitting around on straw bales (doyou understand what straw bales mean? If not ask) guns in one hand and the other hand trying to balance a cup of tea. Eagle was now having a staring contest with Ollie the cock (male hen, rooster)
"Eagle" warned Fox. "He started it" replied Eagle, not taking his eyes off of him."How can a chicken start something?" asked Snake.
"Their evil" said Eagle.
Alex looked at the SAS men. When you actually met the them outside of their jobs they weren't to bad. It also seemed that Eagle having a staring contest with a chicken was nothing unusual judging by the units reactions. A few minutes later they had Eagle settled down. This involved putting Ollie outside and locking the doors with Snake having to tell Eagle several times that yes, he won.

"Look" said Alex "I know that everyone in the unit has to help each other out, but this is big. This involves trying to take down the head of MI6 and probably a lot more. I don't want you to get involved in this, its my battle not yours"
Wolf growled "Cub, you are part of our unit. That means we look out for you even if it means death for us. Anyway this is not just your battle, this is Englands battle, maybe even bigger. I don't know what exactly Blunt is up to, but what ever it is, its big. And in a few years I can either say I played safe and watched from the sideline while other people got hurt or I can say I stood up for what I believed in and made a difference. I don't know about you but I'm in."
"Y'know for someone so hard core you can do good speeches" said Eagle
"Are you in or out?"
" In"
"Count me in"
"And me"
"So we have 5 people-"
"Make that 6" came a voice. Alex frowned "Mr Smithers?" he called.
"One and only m'boy". Alex looked around for him, but couldn't spot him. "Look down" Alex looked down but all he could see where his runners (trainers). "On your hand". Alex looked at his hand only to see Mr Smithers face where his watch should show the time.
"Um, hi Mr Smither but what are you doing in my watch"
Smithers chuckled "do you remember that time I messed aroud with your watch?"
"Yeah"
"Well this is one of the things I did. Anyway, what I'm here to tell you is that you have mine and Mrs Jones support"
"Thanks, but Mrs Jones?"
"Don't worry m'boy she's on the 'good' side. Alex you need to listen to me, if your going to do something you need to do it fast. Blunt has already roped in two more teenage spys to replace you. He's going to send them to their first mission once he gets the all clear. And not meaning to have favourites but they really don't have spy quality"
"Bastard" said Wolf, who was behind him with K-unit now watching Smithers.
"Look theres not much me and Mrs Jones can do but we can send your information."
"Thanks" said Alex "we have a computer here so you can send it to that. You wouldn't happen to have the blueprints of the Bank would you?"
"Blueprints and security measurements"
"Good, I think I have a plan"

What do you think? Yes I know I couldn't resist sending all of them over here. It's a first I think. Anyway I hope no one is offended by English hating Annie I just decided to throw in some mad old Irish person, most of us are fine about it now anyway (does anyone know what I'm even on about?) and as far her father being shot that is realistic too as my grandad nearly lost his dad that way too. Anyway the general gist is….

PLEASE REVIEW

In the next chapter one of our unit gets shot, one gets knocked out,one gets in a fight with a robot, Eagle is let loose with a marker and Mrs Jones makes coffee have the opposite effect.

Also if I get enough reviews before Monday I'll update again on Monday.
