Chapter 11: The Bell Tower

At the beginning of this chapter Alex is in the doctors office at the school. He is given a series of tests and check-ups. He also gets a shot for no apparent reason. The doctors doesn't even say what the shot is. It's pretty suspicious to me. After his check-up, Alex goes to the shooting range and instead of the regular targets the teacher set up life sized pictures of people. That day was the worst score Alex ever got at the shooting range. Mrs. Rothmann wants to change that problem. So she gave him a target that he couldn't refuse to kill. Mrs. Jones, the woman who killed his father. I personally think that somehow she doesn't get killed because there are more Alex Rider books, and whats an Alex Rider book without Mrs. Jones?

Chapter 10: How to Kill

In this chapter Alex goes to the school that will teach him to be a Scorpian agent. He meets all the professors and the few students that are there with him. The students are about his own age. At the end of the chapter Mr. Blunt and Mrs. Jones, the heads of MI-6, find out about Alex and want him brought in.

Chapter 9: Albert Bridge

In this chapter Mrs. Rothman tells Alex about his father. She shows him a video that they caught on tape. What happened was that Scorpia had capture an important figure in Britain but MI-6 had also captured Alex's father. They planned to exchange the prisoners on Albert Bridge. On one side of the bridge is MI-6, the other is Scorpia. As the two captives meet in the middle of the bridge, Alex's father says something to the other man. The man starts running to the other end. As Alex's father reaches his side a sniper shoots him dead. There is fighting but eventually it ends. The order to kill Alex's father was made by Mrs. Jones, one of the heads of operations in MI-6. She sent Alex on all his previous missions. Mrs. Rothman asks Alex if he'll join Scorpia and he accepts.
