Chasing Herod Sayle

After Sayle found that Alex had discovered his plot he handcuffed him to a chair in front of his giant jellyfish.  The jellyfish was something that Sayle had caught and kept as a pet.  It was enclosed in an enormous tank with gallons of saltwater in it.  While Alex was tied up Herod Sayle got on his plane to go to the presentation of the new Stormbreakers.   At this celebration the Prime Minister will press a button to turn on all of the computers, but it will also trigger the tubes full of smallpox to release into the air.  Little does the the Prime Minister know that he is also turning these on.  One of the women that works for Sayle claims to be on "Alex's side", meaning part of M16, but she is really not.  Alex trusts her and runs off after she lets him free.  As soon as he gets far enough the woman pulls a trigger and the floor gives out beneath him.  

Alex finds himself in the tank with the giant, stinging jellyfish!  He has to get out or he will be stung or drown or both.  He remembers the zit cream that really burns through metal.  he takes it out and while avoiding the jellyfish begins to apply it around the rim of glass on the tank.  finally the metal frame melts away and the glass smashes to the floor.  The traitor lady is tackled by the jellyfish and is stung to death.  Alex escapes from the room and jumps onto Mr. Grin's plane.  Mr. Grin works for Sayle as a kind of butler.  When they fly over the museum Alex places a bomb in the plane and then jumps out.  From the air he triggers the bomb to blow and the plane explodes.  Now Alex must get to Sayle and the Prime Minister to stop him from beginning an epidemic of smallpox... to find out what happens....
