[quotes] anthony horowitz
He was angry. That was part of the reason. But Alex knew it was more than that. Mr. Bray might have given him the excuse, but there was part of him that needed to investigate, to uncover the answers. That part of him had been deliberately cultivated by MI6 and his uncle - Ian Rider. Using him wasn't enough. First, they had turned him into someone who wanted to be used.
