One day, the head of SCORPIA, Zeljan Kurst, walks into the British

Museum.

He meets a man by the name of Yannis Ariston Xenopolos.

They discuss returning the stolen Elgin Marbles

back to Athens.

Elsewhere, Alex Rider is sitting in class learning about his worst subject,

math.

Out of the corner of his eye, he notices a man on the roof shooting at him.

Alex runs off campus and chases the man down to his getaway helicopter.

He launched a fire extinguisher bringing the helicopter down in flames.

The officials find out about the incident and MI6 calls

Alex back into their headquarters.

Alex is then told that SCORPIA might have been behind the

entire shooting and is briefed for another mission.

Alex Rider is going to a foreign school in Cairo,

Egypt.

At around the same time, Razim is hired by

SCORPIA in Egypt.

He needs to deal with Alex Rider in Cairo.

A couple of weeks later, Alex and his care taker

Jack arrive in Cairo.

Alex then sees a strange man watching them at the

public square.

It is a criminal hired by Razim and suddenly, he pulls out a gun and starts a shooting.

Alex gets knocked out unconscious and is then taken to Razim’s villa.

When Alex wakes up, he and Jack are trapped in a

prison cell.

They devise a quick plan to escape and put it into

action.

Jack runs out to steal a car while Alex rushes to

find the main gate.

But something is wrong…..

Alex is then captured by Razim and strapped to a

torture chair.

Razim then explains he had experimenting with

types of pain.

Alex is the latest subject of Razim’s new project,

emotional pain.

He then turns on a monitor to reveal Jack

stealing a car….

Alex stares in complete horror and starts crying.

Jack had just died in a car loaded with pounds of

explosives, leaving Alex to suffer.

At that exact moment, MI6 rushes in a frees

Alex.

But then, he is confronted by Razim.

They exchange words and Alex pushes him into a

mound of salt…

Razim’s skin immediately dissolves like a slug in

salt.

Alex watches as the last of Jack’s murder’s body is

dragged into the white hill of solid acid.

The Eglin Marble never make it back to Athens and Zeljan

Kurst is sent to prison.

Alex goes off to live with the pleasures in America and

never hears about MI6 again.

Never underestimate what you are going up

against.
