Character: Alex Rider

Alex Rider is the main character of my book.  So far he has already showed extreme intelligence and strength.  Alex's uncle, Ian Rider, was killed and the police told him that he died in a car accident, but Alex knew better.  He found Ian's car at the junkyard and solved the mystery.  Ian had not been killed by accident, for the car's front and side windows had been shattered with raining bullets.  At the junkyard he escaped a near death experience but not before he was caught by the bank manager's bodyguard.  

Ian Rider had worked at a bank before he was killed.  The bank manager, Mr. Blunt, came to Ian's funeral.  There Alex had seen a bodyguard for that man.  Although this may not seem very odd, Alex then saw that he had a gun at his waist.  A gun was needed to protect a small bank owner?  Alex didn't think so.  When he went to the junkyard he met up with the gun carrying man and had to knock him out. 

Later the bank called and asked to meet with Alex.  When he arrived he was led past his uncle's old office.  He asked to go in and see where he worked, but Mr. Crawley (the man he met with) immediately answered no.  He then risked his life and jumped out the building to get into his uncles office.  Alex climbed across a ledge and went into the office.  There he found lots of files that were labeled "Assassinations"  and others.  That's when he realized that his uncle had been a spy.
