Alex Rider: Deadly Secrets

Chapter 2

Alex and Tamara boarded the plane. It looked a lot like Air Force one with a big open space with only a few set that could turn around. As they boarded he saw a man that was facing the front. He got up and went over to Alex to hug him. Alex was shocked to see him. Alex tried to hug back but he could not move. The man let go of Alex and looked at him.

"Everything alright Alex?" He asked. Alex nodded and sat down then Tamara shook his hand.

"Tamara Knight. You are?" She asked. Tamara sat down next to Alex and the man sat back in his set.

"Ben Daniels." He said. Tamara nodded and then the Captain started talking to them.

"Welcome, please fasten your seat belts. Your mission files will arrive shortly. Till then relax and enjoy the ride." The Captain said and before they knew it they were in the air headed for Russia. Alex closed his eyes for a monument to see if he could sleep but once he closed his eyes the Captain talked again. Alex opened his eyes. "You may move about the cabin. Your files are in the draws where the flat screen TV is." Tamara got up and grabbed the files and handed to everyone which each of the files had their names on it.

"Looks like we have to get information and lay low." Tamara said. Alex read the file and saw that he was going in as Alex Volkov. Born in Russia and knows a few languages which Alex knew more. Alex keep ready his file when Tamara got up and went to the bar that was by the TV.

"What are you doing Tamara?" Alex asked. She looked at him as she poured some vodka into a glass.

"Having a drink. Does anyone want anything?" She asked. Ben looked up from his file.

"No." Both of them said. She shrugged and sat back down with her drink. All of them continue looking at their files. After a little bit Alex put the file away and closed his eyes to try and get some sleep. He was glad that he had a dreamless sleep. A few hours later Tamara shook Alex awake. Alex opened his eyes and looked around.

"The plane is about to land." She said he nodded and got his stuff together. 10 minutes later they landed and a car was waiting for them on the tar. Alex Tamara and Ben walked out of the plane and into the car. A man greeted them.

"Welcome to Russia. I am Ephraim Ibrahimov. I will be your guide." He said with a slight Russian accent. They all hopped into the car and drove to the safe house. They said thank you to the man and went into the house. Tamara went into the kitchen first to look for food.

"Looks like there is no food so we are going to have to go buy some." She said. Alex went upstairs and look to see if there was any bugs (listening devices) in the house. Alex looked all around to find nothing.

"Do not see any bugs in the house so let's get down to business." Alex said. They all went into the dining room and pulled out their files. "I will be going to the local gangs and trying to infiltrate them. They know I'm coming so this will be interesting." Alex said sitting at the head of the table.

"What are we looking for?" Tamara said.

"Not sure they just want info. I have a USB that Smithers gave me a long time ago. It will download all the info on a computer and delete the download history." Alex said.

"We should get some sleep." Ben said. He got up from the chair and went upstairs to sleep. Alex proper his feet up on the table. Tamara was looking the file one more time before she got up.

"You going to bed?" Tamara said.

"I'm going to. I just need to do a few checks." Alex gave her a sad smile and she went upstairs. Alex took out a lap top that had access to MI6, thanks to Smithers, which gave him backpack of cloths and a laptop. He started looking up profiles on the man he was supposed to meet up with. Five different men with five different languages, Russian, Dutch, German, English, French. All of which Alex could speak. One of them men he was to meet interested him. His name was Dmitry Polzin. He was the only Russian in the group. Alex is also supposed to been born in Russia so he speak it fluently. Alex keep reading his profile, it said that he was good at sword fighting and specked English. Alex looked at the clock and saw that it was 1 am. He closed his laptop and closed his eyes felling into a deep sleep. He had not dreams that night.
