Reading time: 20 minutes 11/1

Alex Rider is wondering why is uncle, Ian Rider, has died. He died in a car crash and the police say that he did not have his seatbelt on. Now that is wrong. His uncle is always telling him to put his seatbelt on even when he has it on. He is always a very careful man. And also there are bulletholes in the windshield that prove them wrong. After his uncle had died, they sent him to a school in England. Even when he got there he was still thinking about why his uncle died. And the more and more that he thought about it, the less he believed what the police said.

Then he realized a teacher had asked him a question. He didn't know what it was so he quickly examined the board and said, "X is 7 and Y 14", and then his teacher said, "yes, you are absolutely correct, but all I did is ask you to open the window". He managed to get through the day with all the stuff being done right.

He looked through the secretary's office window and he saw there was a phonebook on his desk and then this shot into his mind -- usually there is a car junk yard listed in the phone book. So he went into the secretary's office and grabbed. The secretary wanted to know what he was doing and asked if it was a class project. Alex Rider said, yeah sort of. He called the number to ask where it is and then he went there the next day. He saw the car that Ian Rider had died in. So he jumped in there and then he saw that the seatbelt was still attached so that means that he was either A) shot or B) he crashed but he did not come out of the windshield, or C) he crashed but he did not come out, because since he was coming home from the store one of the shopping bags full of food probably went straight through the window.

Then he started hearing all these weird sounds. It sounded like metal bent. Then he saw these 3 huge arms coming to crush the car.
