Summary
Ian was twenty-four years old when his brother was assassinated, his sister-in-law became collateral damage, and a screaming wriggling bundle was deposited in his arms.
“We’ll need to open an investigation” Blunt said, “I need someone to run it”.
He pictured how his life could turn out, taking care of Alex in between missions, jetting all over the world to track down the bastards who orphaned his nephew, and-
-and raising Alex, actually raising him, ensuring that he was happy and cared for and loved…
That seemed like a far better way to honour his dead brother’s memory.
“Well, Agent Rider? What is your decision?”
Ian glanced over at Jones, knew that she knew what he was thinking by the slight upward curl of her lips, smiled, then turned back to Blunt and stared him straight in the eye.
“I quit”.Or, the one where Ian tells Blunt to go fuck himself, Alex is unwillingly drawn into the spy world at fourteen anyway, and Yassen finds a certain over-protective rampaging on-the-warpath uncle very attractive indeed.
