Chapter One
The man who walked into the dark room
looked around nervously. He pushed his glasses higher up his nose. He was called Sparrow, and he’d never been so frightened in all his life. Seven or eight people were looking at him. At last one of them spoke: ‘Who is this? How can he help us?’
Everybody turned to a big
man whose name was Cooger. Cooger smiled, but the look in his eyes was cold and hard. ‘Professor Sparrow is a scientist,’ he said quietly. ‘And he’s going to make us very, very rich.’

Cooger turned to the scientist. ‘Tell them,’ he said. ‘Thank you,’ Sparrow said. He looked around the room. ‘Imagine a van that can go anywhere in the world in just moments.’ ‘What are you talking about?’ laughed one of the men. To answer, Sparrow turned on a computer that was connected to a projector. Everyone sat silently as they watched a video of a van. At first it looked like any other van. But suddenly there were lights all around it ... and then it disappeared. ‘Where’s it gone?’ someone asked. Sparrow gave a little smile. ‘Anywhere.’
