Well hello again lovely people, I am back as I promised with a bit of a smaller workload and therefore more time to read and review! Aren't you pleased... Anyhoo I was just looking back at my last review and remembered how awful that chapter was!! It was seriously horrible! And really in this chapter Alex isn't much better off.
The chapter opens with Alex waking up from the terrible drug he'd been put under and slowly regaining consciousness. He begins to realise that he's in some kind of tent, obviously somewhere in Kenya, but it's like a posh tent rather than an actual tent tent... if you get what I mean. He could hear sounds of the African Bush around him and it's all very strange and isolated. I was remembering what happened to him last chapter, and thinking about what they did to him, and it's making me really worried about what they could potentially do to him now they've got him in this isolated place. See Alex gets up and walks outside to find his tent guarded by a man with a gun, which is never good, and makes it apparent that they don't care about shooting him.
He's told to remain in the tent, and while he's waiting he's thinking about how to get out. MI6 supplied him with an exploding pen when he went to Greenfields and very luckily he still has it, but that's his only weapon. He thinks about MI6 - as soon as they knew he was missing they would have pulled out all the stops to try and get him back, and would hopefully have all the security forces in the world looking out for him. Also, we know that Blunt is eager for Alex to work with them full time when he's older, and so that makes it more likely that he'll search for him.
Myra Bennett enters Alex's tent with another armed guard. She reveals that she invented that drug herself, making me hate her even more. A lot of the 'assisstants' of the evil guys in these books are just as bad, sometimes worse than the main evil person themselves and I'm starting to wonder if Myra might not be one of them too. She threatens Alex with various punishments should he try to escape and then takes hims out to a car (not before ordering a guard to shoot one of the monkeys whose noise was annoying her - pure.evil.). They drive to this aeroplane - like a seriously old one - which will only fit two people, and I assumed she was taking Alex somewhere else, maybe to cover their tracks even more, but actually she just flew the plane over to some huge fields, sprayed some crops with some stuff and returned. It's all very confusing. She wouldn't explain to Alex what she was doing either. Hmmm.
Then, after Alex says that he just wants to go home, Myra reveals that he can't because they're going to kill him, but first they're going to torture him to get information.
Well that's something to look forward to.
WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE TO HURT TEENAGERS SO MUCH???
