Chapter Eighteen
Alina sat at one of the lab benches, between Flynn, and the girl who had managed to hack into NASA's systems. Alina looked at her with interest. She had long black hair and smiling brown eyes. Beside her was Jack.There was a cough from the front of the room, and Miles emergered, an evil grin on his face. Alina shuddered. Clearly he had something planned. Whatever it was, it couldn't be good. Miles walked forward until he was stood in front of the desk.His first words were "We have located a possible source of uranium. Dr Stemeling from one of Britian's major science laboratories is coming to this school to give a talk and demonstration on nuclear weaponry. He is bringing a few small samples of uranium with him."
Alina almost shuddered, but caught herself in time.
"You four will be working to steal the stuff. You will work in pairs, in case you are caught. Alina, you will work with Cassie." he said, nodding at Alina and the black-haired girl in turn. "Flynn, you will work with Jack.
Alina groaned inwardly. If she and Flynn had been working together, they could have found a way to sabotage the mission. But Miles was taking no chances.
"Dr Stemeling will be arriving on Sunday, the day before the lecture, so he can set up his equipment. That will be you're chance. Should one person be captured or injured, their parter will immediately join the other team. On no account must an attempt to rescue a person be launched. If one person is injured, kill them. There will be armed guards, so you will need these."
He passed us two pistols. "One for each pair." he said. "Don't waste bullets. You only have three per gun." Cassie took a gun from him, as Alina looked at the weopon with distaste. Then she looked at Flynn. He took the pistol with an empty expression.
"You are dismissed" Miles finished, then turned away.
