Chapter 16 Summary: “Twelve O’clock”

As the plane reaches London, Alex jumps out with a parachute. Mr. Grin flies the plane toward him, so Alex takes out the Game Boy and sets off a smoke bomb he left on board. Blinded, Mr. Grin crashes the plane. Meanwhile, Sayle is unveiling the Stormbreaker at the Science Museum. He finishes his speech, saying the country will never forget this day. He tells the prime minister to click the mouse to turn on the Stormbreakers. Alex reaches the museum, crashing into the glass roof. As the prime minister is about to click the mouse, Alex fires his gun, hitting the computer mouse, the prime minister’s hand, and Sayle. As the guards lead the prime minister away, Alex puts his hands up and prepares for the guards to shoot him. However, Mrs. Jones saw Alex and tells them not to shoot. In the chaos, the wounded Sayle disappears.

Chapter 17 Summary: “Yassen”

The next day, Blunt and Mrs. Jones congratulate Alex. They inform him that they kept the press from publishing anything about the previous day, and they cut off the video recordings to hide that Alex fired the shots. They also explain that the government recalled the Stormbreakers.
