The next day, Alex discovers that the James he’s seeing now is not the real James but is a clone. They’ll move in as soon as he gets more concrete information. They tell him to keep his distance from James but see what else he can find out. MI6, however, needs more than this to act. He covertly contacts MI6 and tells them of his concerns. Alex finds this very strange-it’s like James has been brainwashed. When he next speaks to James, he discovers that he doesn’t want to escape anymore, and he’s really enjoying his time at the school. Meanwhile, Alex sees someone punishing James, but he can’t do anything about it. Alex must figure out a way to get the information he needs before James gets suspicious of him. He doesn’t want to stay at the school anymore, because he doesn’t want to become like the other boys. However, instead of helping Alex investigate, James decides he wants to escape and flee the country. This intrigues Alex, and he knows that MI6 is onto something after all. He’s convinced there’s something odd about the school, because all the boys go from being rebellious to saintly almost overnight. The only boy Alex befriends is called James.

Once the week’s over, MI6 has Alex escorted to the school known as Point Blank. He’s going undercover as the son of a supermarket mogul called David Friend, and he needs to know his cover story inside-out. MI6 assigns him a family to shadow for a week so that he learns how to fit in with billionaires. Besides, he’s scared of MI6 and doesn’t feel like he can say no to them. Alex doesn’t want to go there, but he feels he owes it to his uncle to continue his work. This school, run by a South African scientist, Dr Grief, rehabilitates “problem” children of the rich and famous. The only evidence of a link, though, is that they both have sons attending a special school in the French Alps. Shortly afterwards, another billionaire dies in suspicious circumstances, and MI6 believe the murders are linked. An assassin, known as The Gentleman, murders a well-known American electronics billionaire in an elevator shaft. However, MI6 shortly needs Alex’s help once again. He’s struggling to keep his unusual job secret from his friends, and he’s not sure he wants to help them forever. Now, Alex works for MI6 in his uncle’s place whenever they need his help.
