I woke up tied up to a wooden chair, the person who tied me to the chair tied me up quite well because I couldn't even wriggle my arms out of the ropes. I decided not to fight against the ropes, but to have a look around. The room was quite dim and empty except for the iron door with bars on the top. The room looked like a prison cell without bunk beds or toilets. Without noticing a man walked up to me wearing a suit and tie.

" where the hell am i?"

"where are you?"

" don't play games with me dumb ass"

" oh right, you are in Melbourne's sewer system"

"what do you want from me?"

" what i want from you? Well, i don't want anything from you. You have no use to us. After this delightful conversation, we are going to activate the water system and wash your corpse away."

In an instant, the man drew out a gun and aimed it at me. I froze, not daring to move

" any more questions?"

" yeah, what do you mean by we?"

" scorpia, Sabotage, Corruption, Intelligence, and Assassination."

" wait, you mean the agency that Alex Rider fought against, 20 years ago?"

" yes, and we have grown more powerful than ever!"

" anything else?"

" yep"

" what is it then?"

" what are you going to do?"

" well, we have an agent undercover at the highschool you were assigned with. We were trying to kill all the students in the school to create a revolution. The parents would sue the government, but the prime minister would just blame it on another country. Then global war would break out and we would be the ones that people would buy weapons from."

" why would you do this?"

" easy, it's for the money." The mysterious man said in a greedy voice "Now, any last words?"

" last one"

" say it"

" why Australia?"

" simple, we have tried America, England and Venice. And what other country links with that?"

"Australia?"

" precisely, and now that your dead. No one can stop us! Now then, good bye Benson Freddybear."

I reacted fast and kicked the gun out of his hand before he pulled the trigger. He glared at me angerly and ran for the gun. I kicked the man in the chest and made him fall back. He was trying to stand up, but I swung my legs around his neck and twisted. He was struggling to set himself free from my headlock, but couldn't. His face was as red as a tomato and I twisted his neck even harder then, he stopped struggling and became paralysed.

Although the man was paralysed, I still had one more problem. I was still tied to the chair. I tried a final attempt to shake of the rope, but it still wouldn't  release. I stood up trying to point the chair towards the wall and ran backwards. The legs of the chair snapped right off and hit the paralysed man on the face. His gun was lying on the ground, so I picked up the gun and ran out of the room.

It was like a maze down in the water system. There were different tunnels leading to different areas. I was walking around for ages until I found a ladder leading to the streets, but there were two people guarding it. I was still wearing my nerdy clothes, so I made it a lot difficult to run, but I only had one shot. Literally, I had only one bullet in my pistol. I had no option but aim the gun and hope for the best. I squeezed the trigger and the bullet went hot out of the barrel and went flying towards the two men. One man clutched his chest and fell, but the other wasn't dead. He realised what had just happened so he tried to hunt me down. I quickly ducked down behind the crates and waited. I heard a sudden gasp and turned around. The other man just took a bullet to the head from my other bullet.

" two birds, one stone" I whispered to myself as I sprinted to the ladder.

I reached the top and pushed the sewer lid up. It was incredibly heavy, but I managed to move the sewer lid off and crawl out. I was all dirty, but I didn't care. I was just glad that I survived. All of my problems flowed to the back of my head and I walked back home.
