Trapped

At some point everyone feels trapped. Trapped by their family, friends, teachers, you name it! We all feel trapped, but are we really trapped? Some people feel trapped because they have to do something they don’t like. Surely they could get out if it right?

Alex beings to feel trapped, while having to try to juggle his schoolwork and helping England cut down on terrorist around the world. He begins to get frustrated when he gets back from an assignment and has to make up two weeks of missed homework. He feels this is unfair and shouldn’t have to do the work, but a part of him thinks it’s worth it for the adrenalin rush he receives every time. While walking home one day with double homework in every subjetc

he wonders, when his next assignment is going to happen. It just so happens later that night MI6 calls him in for an undertaking of a lifetime at an academy called Point Blanc is French.

From the second Alex arrived at the academy he thought something was weird or different, but couldn’t place it. He notices that some kids have already started acting like scholars instead of juvenile delinquents.
