Okay, if you're a fan of Alex, this ending may be quite sad but in most of my stories the bad win. Because in most films/ TV series/ books they never do, which is kind of sad, because most times the evil are even better/ nicer/ hotter/ more gentle/ sexier than the heroes/ good characters.

Please review this story.

Chapter 10

He stared at his laptop. It was four o'clock in the morning. He had tried to locate Katelyn's cell phone but it was shut off. He also had tried to call her, only the mailbox answered. Miley didn't know either where she had been kept. Alex had no point to start his search. Kate could be everywhere already.

Suddenly he heard a noise. He tried to avoid any noise and noticed that it was his cell phone. But who would call him at this time of a day? He walked to his bedroom and reached out for his phone. The display showed that it was Kate's phone. It must have recently turned on. Alex answered: 'Hello?' He didn't know who it was. It might be Katelyn, it might be not.

'Hello, Alex', a male voice answered.

'Long time since we last met', he said.

'I don't regret it', Alex said. He went back to his laptop.

'Oh, you will regret, when I killed your little, sweet girlfriend', Yassen said in a ironically nice voice. Alex started to track down the call.

'What have you done to her?', he asked aggressively.

'Until now, not much', Yassen said honestly. 'She's really a fighter. You should watch her, she can get very aggressive, too.'

Of course, Alex didn't understand what Yassen meant. He watched the earth on his computer. It got smaller and a map of North America appeared. Only thirty more seconds.

'Where is she?', he asked to win time.

'Do you really think I'd tell you?', Yassen laughed. The red signal came from California.

'Yes.'

'Nice try, Alex. But not this time. I'll kill your girlfriend in exactly fifteen minutes. Just wanted to let you know.'

'Why?'

'As revenge. You know what you did to me. You ruined my life. And now you will have to pay for it. You will be the last Rider to kill. I'd lie if I say I'm sorry.'

With those words Alex shut off the cell phone. He knew where Yassen was hiding.


Yassen was putting Kate's cell phone back into his pocket when it rang again. He looked at Katelyn who sat on the ground in front of him. They were still in the room where she was held prisoner. 'Who's that now?', he asked more or less to himself.

'Oh, your daddy', he said looking up from the screen.

'Shall I tell him where you are? He already knows you've been kidnapped, doesn't he?', Yassen said and pushed the green button.

'Hello', Yassen said.

'Who are you?', Ari Haswari answered.

'Oh, hasn't MI6 already told you? Your little, sweet daughter Katelyn has been abducted.' Ari managed not to laugh.

'I will kill her in fifteen minutes. If you want to talk to her-'

'Yes, I want to, little bitch!', Ari said.

Yassen kneed down. 'You're on loud speakers', he said and smiled at Katelyn who smiled back, ironically.

'Is everything alright, Katelyn?', Ari asked in Hebrew. Kate smiled at Yassen as she saw that he didn't understand a word.

'Yes, shall I kill him?', she asked.

'Well, if Alex doesn't turn up to rescue you because he's working for MI6 you should do everything to escape. Mossad or Al Qaeda, one of them will clean up for you.'

'Okay, thanks, dad', she said and Yassen shut off the phone again, not before saying: 'I assume you chose your words well because those were the last ones you told her.' He put the phone into his jeans pocket.

'Hebrew, I assume?', he asked her in a bit teasing voice.

'We're Israeli.'

'Ah, that's the reason why the only words I understood were Mossad and Al Qaeda.'

She nodded.

'May I ask what he said?'

'That I should kill you if Alex doesn't turn up in time. I look forward to it', she smiled.

Yassen was not sure if he should take her serious. 'Who is your father?'

'Member of Al Qaeda and the actual target of MI6', she explained. Her eyes showed nothing. That scared Yassen a bit. He decided to take her for real.

'You know what? I'll kill you now', he said.

He reached into his jacket and took out a knife. 'Didn't you try that before?'

'Not to kill you and believe me, I learnt a lot since that', he said and came nearer to her.

'Any last words?', he asked and looked into her eyes. They were cold, no sign of emotion, no sign of fear.

He put the cold blade on her neck.

'שבקתנו למה אלוהים,', she murmured to herself. (I used an online translator and it is Hebrew and I assume the browser shows it as unidentified special symbols. However, it means: My god, why did you leave me? And it's a sentence Jesus said when he was hanging at The Cross. It also is a prayer for near death situations.)

Yassen didn't even twitch but prepared for killing her. 'You don't know what you are doing', she said slowly in Russian.

With her left arm she grabbed his right and pushed it away. Quickly she stood up and kicked Yassen down. She picked up the knife from the ground and turned around. Yassen was lying on the ground but he pointed his gun at her.

'You don't want to do this', she said.

'You neither', he paid back confidently.

'I killed more people than you think', she said smilingly coming nearer.


'Kate?', a voice said.

She turned around. Alex was standing in the door. Looking at the scene, Yassen with a gun lying on the ground, Kate standing with a knife in her hands.

'Alex! I-', she said surprised.

He had definitely heard her last sentence.

'I think you have to explain something, little Katelyn', Yassen said as he stood up.

'Alex, I didn't mean-'

'You knew', he said shocked in surprise. 'You knew everything about your father and what he does. You told him about my mission.'

'I also help him a lot', Kate said in a cold voice. She smiled at him, not friendly.

'You used me!', Alex aspirated astonished.

'Well, yes. And I have to admit, it was fun', she said.

'You betrayed me!', Alex screamed. Yassen sighed.

'Yeah, and yes, I never loved you', Kate said rolling her eyes.

'You-', Alex shouted and ran toward her. He wanted to press her against the wall but underestimated her strength. She just pushed him back and threw him onto the floor. She kicked him hard into his belly and he yelled in pain.

'Alex, Alex, Alex, why on earth did you trust me? Especially after you found out who my father is?', she said teasing him.

'I trusted you, you… I would have done everything for you', he screamed and lost his voice in anger and getting weaker because of so much pain he had to endure.

'I know. I liked it. You were so stupidly in love that you believed everything', she suspired.

She turned to Yassen. 'Do you wanna kill him now? Or I'm gonna do so.'

Yassen was still surprised by how evil and bad Katelyn turned out to be. 'Well, yes. Any last words, Alex Rider?', he asked and went nearer.

'Why?', Alex mourned and looked at Katelyn. She had no pity. She rolled her eyes again.

'Alex, you have been an agent. You have entered the world of the adults and you have experienced so much. Why didn't you learn out of this? You still think that all people are good or at least the ones you like. But that's not how the world works. You thought that based upon your MI6 experiences you would know and understand the world. But this is not true.

The world is unfair and ruled by unfair people who are invisible. My father and I, we're both working for Mossad and he trained me never to have pity with anyone. That is your weakness, Alex. You may have a psychological traumata but you never lost your humanity. But in such a world we live in, humanity is not required. You must grow up and change and break rules, if you want to survive.

That is what you didn't learn because you were too kind to everyone. There are bad people, Alex. People who kill, with or without reason, that doesn't matter. And now, when you die, you will have understood the world completely. Only that it is nothing worth now anymore.

Good-bye, Alex Rider.' (Yes, I had to make her say that.)

Yassen pulled the trigger.

Kate looked down. She saw blood dripping out of Alex wound and soon his head was covered in a puddle of blood. 'I'll make sure MI6 finds his body', Yassen said.

'Why don't you kill me, too?', Katelyn asked.

'I think it would not be very bright.'

She smiled. 'You learnt.'


About an hour later, before MI6 retrieved their 17-years old dead agent's body, Katelyn arrived at home and told her father what has happened. He just hugged her and kissed her on her forehead.

'You should have killed him…immediately', he said.

'Yassen hated him so much for destroying his life. It was his fun.' Ari Haswari just smiled at his daughter.

He was so proud of her, even much when five years later, she finally married Yassen. Although Yassen was a hatchet man, he could easily enter Mossad because of Kate's relation. Mossad was like a big family, Eli, Ari and Kate were in it and when Yassen and Kate became a child, they called it Ziva to replace the loss they had already in the family and forgot about the betrayer Ziva.


However, Miley and Lilly never found out the truth about Alex and Katelyn and Alan Blunt closed on the very same day when he was killed, the file about Alex Rider, the spy who had served government and queen but was tricked by the very first person he had ever loved.

'Love kills', Mrs. Jones said when she stored his file in the large storeroom in the cellar of the London Bank which was secretively headquarters of British MI6.

Please review this crossover story. I know, it wasn't much Hannah Montana in there but that's because I am far (!) too old for that stuff. I just needed a location and a character I could make suffer. I just decided in this last chapter to have Alex killed so I'm sorry if that's a very surprising (and eventually sad) ending to this story but I think the good always win and it becomes time for the movie villains to have their chances, too. Therefore Yassen and Ari are still alive and escape again.
