*BOOM*

At 5:45pm somewhere in London there was an explosion.

A house blew up into flames...

The explosion was so great that the whole street trembled with fear for a few seconds.

A single person was seemingly in the house when the bomb went off.

The explosion was so great it destroyed the house along with the person inside it.

Bu coincidence it just happened to be a house that belonged to an MI6 agent.

There was a bomb encased inside a box and the box had a silver scorpion painted on it.

It could only mean one thing.

SCORPIA were getting revenge on the one, single agent that they hated the most. He was number 1 on their most wanted list and deadly to them.

Not anymore he wasn't.

That agent was 15 now and still a spy for MI6.

And he was dead. Killed by SCORPIA. Or had they really killed him?

He was Alex Rider.

Alex Rider you're never too young to die.

AND IM GONNA LEAVE IT THERE AT AN AWESOME CLIFFY... Joking I'm not done yet so if you'd like to read on below...

The fire had been put out but unfortunately Alex Rider's house had been destroyed.

The police were also there to gather evidence as to what happened and get some witnesses.

The witnesses claimed that they saw a man who wasn't local, go into Alex's house with a bag and come out a few minutes later with no bag, Alex wasn't there because he was at school. They saw Alex go into the house an hour later coming back from school, he never came out again and that's when the explosion happened.

A few streets away sat a lone figure on top of a building.

The fire services had found something though. They had found some burnt clothes and some strands of Alex's blond hair. They also found other things and was enough for them and the police to assume that Alex Rider was killed in the tragic explosion of his house.

His record was checked up by the police, he had a special one so they has to contact the telephone number at the bottom of the page.

The Royal and General Bank.

The Royal and General Bank was in fact the headquarters for the Special Operations Sector of Military Intelligence Six.

MI6.

Alex was a spy for them, constantly being blackmailed into doing missions for them.

At the Bank a telephone rang at 7pm and it was picked up by Mrs Jones the Deputy Head of MI6.

"Hello?"

"Hello Ma'am this is Sargent Brooks from the London Met Police. I'd like to talk to you if that is ok?"

"Yes and call me Mrs Jones"

"Mrs Jones I'm afraid that there has been a tragic accident involving somebody at this bank"

"What happened?"

"Earlier this afternoon, at 5:45pm there was an explosion and a house was blown up on Bridge Street.

"We have right to believe that the house was number 12 and it belonged to an Alex Rider who is 15 years old. Is this correct?"

Mrs Jones paled and started unwrapping another peppermint. "Yes this is true bit what is the tragic bit about this explosion?"

"I'm sorry to say this Mrs Jones but Alex Rider was killed in this tragic explosion. Witnesses saw him enter the house and he didn't leave when it exploded"

"Our forensic team also found plenty of evidence to suggest this. They will analyse it and will be in contact with you soon.

"Oh t...that is bad news. I'll tell Mr Blunt right away" Mrs Jones stuttered on her words.

"We also found a box at the scene. It was metal and it looked like it contained the bomb and on it a scorpion was painted. Is that any help to you?"

"Yes it is thank you"

"Thank you for your time and I'm sorry for your loss" the police man said and hung up.

Mrs Jones put the phone down and gazed at a wall for a minute before snapping out of her trance. She stood up and started walking towards Blunt's office.

Alan Blunt, the Head Of Military Intelligence Six was sitting in his office wearing a grey suit as usual. Everything seemed to be grey and dull in his office, even the pigeons were grey as well.

He was marking some files when there was a sharp knock on the door. Mrs Jones entered his office and she sat down in the chair opposite to him.

"Alan something bad has happened to one of our agents"

"What and who is it?" He asked.

"One of our agents was killed in an explosion at their own house"

"What street"

"Bridge Street, house number 12" she replied.

"It can't be?"

"No I'm afraid it's right this time. Alex Rider is dead. He was killed in the explosion earlier this evening"

"He's finally dead" he muttered.

"The police were on the phone to me and they said they found a box in which the bomb was placed in. A scorpion was painted on the box"

"SCORPIA" Blunt hissed.

"Yes it looks like they finally got their revenge after 2 years of being publicly embarrassed by Alex Rider"

"Thank you for this information. We will sort out everything that has to be dealt with now"

"What about Tom Harris, Alex's best friend at his school. He knows about Alex's spy life. Should he know about this?" She spoke.

"We will tell him soon. Book an appointment for Tom to come and see me"

And with that Mrs Jones left Alan Blunt's office both of them a bit down to the fact they just lost MI6's greatest agent, Alex Rider, killed in an explosion.
