Here we go...

"OK, let me get this straight," Kai began as Hilary drove down the empty road. "We were followed by the government. No idea how they tracked us. Blocked aerial footage so they can't track us."

"So it would seem," Hilary muttered. "We have no clear vision on whether they really did block it. The government is smart, I'm sure they know how to make it seem as if it's blocked from them."

"So besides that we're OK?" he asked.

"Well, when you consider we've just practically let ourselves known to the world, I'd say no," she told him.

Hilary glanced out of the rear-view mirror when she turned onto a busier road to see whether anyone was following them. There was no sign of the blue Lexus.

"Base to team Alpha, base to team Alpha. Alpha come in!" a voice suddenly came through the radio.

"We read you," Hilary said without taking her eyes off the road. The radio was connected to the in-car speaker system.

"Multiple targets within range. Repeat, multiple government spies within radar range. There's four black four by fours following you. Evade, repeat, evade." The transmission ended.

Hilary glanced at the rear-view mirror again and, sure enough, four black cars were following them. "It just gets better," she muttered as she changed lanes so she could see where they were more clearly. "Base, what's the best evasion route?" Silence.

"There's a downhill slope to your left a hundred yards ahead, immediately after the turn. The safest option is to go down there and run. If you build up enough speed you'll have just enough time to get down there without them seeing you."

"Roger," she told them as she sped up. She went round the corner and down the slope. It curved slightly and went under the bridge. She stopped the car once she got there and waited.

"Targets out of scanning range," came a voice through the radio. "Wait, targets are turning round, repeat, targets are turning round."

She grabbed the radio and both of them quickly left the car. Kai left a small device on the dashboard. They both ran and hid behind two support bays supporting the bridge. They both heard the four cars drive down the slope. Hilary made hand signals to Kai counting down with her fingers. 3…2…1…0

There was an explosion from where they just were. They both emerged to see flames rising from the five cars. They could suddenly hear police and ambulance sirens.

A helicopter could suddenly be heard overhead. They both looked up and were relieved to find it was a Rhyla one.

It landed several hundred yards away from them and they both got in. The helicopter then took off.

"Too close," Hilary commented as they landed back at Rhyla and got out. It was almost pitch black.

They both got out and entered the Rhyla building.

"I'm going to hack the Russian government's mainframe computer network," Hilary told him as she entered the room in which there was a computer she used when she needed to. She sat down and logged on. "They know who we are. If this information gets out we're doomed. They probably don't recognise us but if our pictures go on the Internet other people will. And AutoComplete will help with hacking."

AutoComplete is a system that can get a password for anything on the Internet. Any website, any user, any time. (Just be thankful it doesn't exist!)

She logged on and clicked on the Internet icon. The moment she did there were gasps from other people in the room. Hilary's screen suddenly went blank.

"Too late," she commented.

"The Rhyla system is under attack," came a voice over the tannoy. "The computer and contact systems have been shut down. This is not within our control. The entire system has been breached. All security teams have been alerted of this and the system should be back up within a few minutes. All people to work on two main objectives. One, regain control of all systems. Two, rescue all operatives on the field and tell them to abort all missions. Back-up lines have been activated to reach them."
