Chapter 7 has arrived! There will be more chapters after this, so don't be disappointed about the title.
Disclaimer: I do not own Alex Rider, blah, blah, blah. I hate the people who make us have the disclaimer every time we post a new chapter, mostly because I keep forgetting to put it up here.
Chapter 7-End Games
A few days later, Mrs. Jones calls to tell us she's ready. She sends an armored vehicle to the storage facility, and they take us to MI6 headquarters.
When we arrive, Smithers is waiting. He greets Alex warmly.
"Very good to see you, old chap! I hope you've been doing well," he exclaims.
"Am I going to get a weapon?" he asks. I remember the first time we met, when I told him that killing was for grown-ups and he was still a child. That seems like such a long time ago. So much has happened since then.
"Well, I've modified your plan, Alex. Yassen and you will act as if you are trying to capture the men, but of course you will fail. After you 'die' our men will come out and surround the men. Hopefully from there things will go smoothly.
"Now, about the bulletproof jackets. There are little pockets of fake blood that are inside. When they are punctured it will appear that you are bleeding. Be careful not to puncture them by accident on the way there. they are all over your body, so be very careful when you put them on,"
We put the suits on; they fit perfectly. Then we head out.
"When we reach the compound, Alex and I are handed tranquilizer guns.
"Don't just shoot randomly; aim for them. We'll be lucky if you hit them," Mrs. Jones tells us. "Good luck," she adds. We nod and leave the truck.
At first there isn't any movement, except for us, of course. Then, the door to the house bursts open and men come outside. There are five of them, all heavily armed.
"Don't move," the first man says, aiming his gun at Alex.
"That's gonna happen," Alex says sarcastically. I suppress a smile. Just like his father. He lifts the tranquilizer gun and points it at the man, aiming for his arm. Surprisingly, it hits him, and the man crumples to the ground.
I start firing my weapon as well, but now the men have snapped into action. I feel a bullet graze my side, and I feel the fake blood start to seep out and cover my side. I groan and press my hand against my side for a moment, and then pull it away. The blood covers my hand. Perfect. I fire the gun and another man goes down. I see Alex get hit in the chest, and he falls to the ground, motionless. For a second I panic, wondering if he's really dead. Then I feel a bullet hit me in the stomach, and I go down too. The air around us is silent,. I breathe with slow, shallow breaths. The men come up to me and Alex to confirm the fact that we're dead. Once they do, they look satisfied. They start to head back inside the house, but Mrs. Jones' team comes out and attacks. The battle doesn't last long because the men are greatly outnumbered by now.
After the men have all been captured and put into a truck, I stand up. Fake blood covers my stomach; I can feel it seeping through my clothes. Alex gets up too; he is in similar condition. We walk back to the truck, and we drive away.
I know it's very short, but there's a reason I'm ending it here. You'll know why when I post the last (yes I just did say last) chapter.
