Disclaimer: I do not own the Alex Rider series

Prologue

Jack Starbright was sprawled on the gleaming tiled floor, her fountain of red hair trailing behind her head, her startling green eyes wide and unstaring, a perfectly round red hole in her forehead. Alex Rider stared at her for a long while, completely frozen, unbreathing. The seconds ticked by painfully slowly. He couldn't think, couldn't move. Then suddenly a single tear slipped down his cheek and all the noise and feeling rushed back into the world and with it the cold hard touch of a gun.

Very short prolouge, just to see how people will react to the death of Jack Starbright! I have this story completely mapped out and some people may not be pleased. May not update much as my main story is Alone but this one is for when I get writers block. Please review! Thanks. Crystal x
