Hey guys... I know I should be updating my other stories… but yeah this came to my head so deal with it.

Disclaimer; me no go show… (–X-xx-Sazza-xx-X- or whatever your name is will understand what im saying…)

(At the start of the story its set out with the time of day at the beginning of a paragraph but when the time hits 1020 hours the paragraph after that starts the story off without the times.)

At 0600 hours Alex Rider woke up to the familiar sound of his alarm clock. He rubbed he's eyes as he sat up and looked around the still dark room. He got up and moved to he's wardrobe and grabbed a pair of baggy jeans, not bothering to look for a top he fisted a patch of the shirt he was currently wearing and sniffed it, finding it okay Alex went to the bathroom to shower.

At 0630 hours Tulip Jones unlocked the door to her office, coffee cup in hand she entered and sat behind her desk not looking forward to the day ahead. Not long after Alan Blunt sat down behind his desk looking as blunt as ever, and like Tulip he was not looking forward to the day ahead.

At 0800 hours the staff of the bank began flooding through the corridors of the six story building. Most entering their personal offices to complete paperwork or going to the fifth level where there was a canteen serving a large range of foods. On ground level undercover workers started to move to stand behind the counters waiting in case a customer showed up.

At 0815 hours Mr Smithers unlocked the doors leading to his workshop in the rooms next to the car park underground (First floor).

At 0900 hours Mr Smithers' computers turned to black screens, white letters appeared one by one soon reading the words; a.l.3.x…r.i.d.3.r…w.i.l.l...d.i.3…s.c.0.r.p.i.a…n.3.v.3.r…f.0.r.g.i.v.3.s...s.c.0.r.p.i.a...n.3.v.3.r...f.0.r.g.3.t.s

At 0915 hours Tulip Jones rushed towards the door connecting hers and Alan Blunts office with a worried look on her face. Without knocking she entered and walked straight up to the large desk sitting in the middle of the room. Blunt looked up at her with one eyebrow raised. 'Alan I'm afraid to say that that Scorpia has sent a death threat… to Alex Rider.'

At 0930 hours Blunt contacted the sergeant from BB to tell him that their top agent was going to be staying there under the care of k-unit. They sat there for over fifteen minutes organising how this was going to work until Blunt said that he would call back that evening.

At 0950 hours Alex was told he was to pack some of his belongings because he was to go back to the SAS for protection from Scorpia, and that a car would be arriving soon to take him there.

At 1000 hours a MI6 car pulled up out the front of the Rider house, the driver got out and went up to the front door and knocked. When there was no answer the driver called Jones and told her something was wrong.

At 1010 hours a second car pulled up and two men got. They entered the house and searched it thoroughly the first man, the driver, quickly opened what looked like a bedroom door to find the bloody body of Agent Alex Rider lying on the floor with a bullet hole in between his closed eyes, right on his third eye.

At 1015 hours Blunt and Jones received the message that Alex Rider had been murdered at 0954 just hours after he was warned of the threat.

At 1020 hours Agent Benjamin Daniels was told that Alex Rider had been murdered that morning, and from having a brotherly relationship with Alex Ben took it hard. He didn't move from his office all morning, all he did was sit there staring at he's hands thinking of Alex. He only moved when Mrs Jones called him to Blunts office. Following orders Daniels moved towards the largest office on the sixth floor the only room with a glass wall, only put there so Alan Blunt could view all of the fifth below.

Opening the door to Blunts office Ben looked around before entering. As usual Mrs Jones was standing on his right sucking on a peppermint, Blunt nodded towards a single seat sitting in front of the desk and understanding Ben sat down.

'As you were told Alex Rider was murdered this morning in he's house, and I was wondering if you wanted to be the one to travel to BB to break the news to the sergeant and to k-unit that Alex Rider will not be returning to the camp. Mrs Jones and I have spoken about it and we both agree you should be the one to do this.' Blunt said looking Ben in the eye.

'Sir… may I ask why you have chosen me to do this?' Ben said looking between Blunt and Jones.

'You Mr Daniels were the only one who knew Mr Rider closely. You had a brotherly relationship with him and we all know you were hit the hardest with the news of his death.' When hearing those words Ben winced.

'Okay… I will go there for Alex.'

The sergeant was sitting in his office waiting for Blunt to call back, he should have known better than to trust Blunts words. He leaned back in he's chair just as a car pulled up out the front of the building. The serge could hear almost silent footsteps approaching the front door, when the unidentified soul knocked on the door the sergeant sighed and sat up straight, 'Enter.' He pressed a button on his phone to call for k-unit.

The door opened to reveal a familiar face; Fox.
