Leseprobe 1 Emergency Exit Caleb Quinn had never expected to use the emergency exit plan. He went to his bedroom door, listening hard. The voices coming from downstairs belonged to his mum and a woman he did not recognize with a faintly Eastern European accent. He couldn't make out exactly what they were saying, but it was sounding less and less friendly. Something strange was happening. He had just gotten back from school in the center of London, cycling along the Thameside path to his house in Nine Elms. It was the first week of the autumn term. After calling hello to his mum, who was working on her laptop in the kitchen, he'd run upstairs to dump his bag and grab a couple of things. His idea for the evening had been simple: have some dinner, then head outside to his high-tech computer lab, which was on a barge moored nearby at Nine Elms Pier. There he could spend a few hours working on a big content update for Terrorform , the sci-fi action-adventure video game that he had programmed himself. The voices rose. Caleb decided to find out what was going on. He took out the Flex, a superpowerful computer handset that he had designed and built over the past few months; he'd been putting together devices like this since before he could talk. To a casual observer, the Flex looked like a pretty standard smartphone. But it was much more than that. Caleb had made it from an ultra-tough, flexible material that could be bent or folded into any shape. It had an operating system that was far more advanced than anything you could buy, with a unique range of special applications and functions. These were activated by coded, single-word commands. He murmured one of them now. Phantom. Mum's laptop. The Phantom app sent the Flex's eyes and ears elsewhere. A view of the kitchen appeared instantly on its screen, ripped from the camera on his mum's open computer. He backed away from his door and sat down on his bed to take a look. Harper Quinn was leaning against a counter. She was a senior CIA agent, originally from California, stationed at the American embassy just down the road from where they lived. She was dressed in a pale gray business suit, cut to conceal her sidearm, with a dark blue shirt beneath. Her red-brown hair was pulled back into a ponytail and her arms were crossed. She was wearing the no-nonsense expression thatCaleb had noticedshe used on colleagues even more often than she used on him. Across the room from Harper was a very tall womanat least six foot two, Caleb guessed. Her hair was an angular orange wedge, shaved at the sides, that blazed brightly in the kitchen's lights. She was dressed like a biker in a black leather jacket, jeans, and heavy boots. A silver ring glinted in her eyebrow. Two men were also visible. One, a huge, bull-like figure, was in the passageway that led to the front door, blocking it off completely. His back was turned, his shaved head almost brushing against the ceiling. The other one, small and skinny by comparison, was standing just behind the orange-haired woman. He had a short lime-green Mohawk and squinty, weasel eyes that f...
