open. Dylan glanced at his watch and saw that it was just
gone 8.30pm.
    “Well,
here we are,” the podgy policeman said. “Get inside quickly and no funny
business. There are a lot more of us here, so you don’t stand a chance.”
    Dylan
helped Sophia down and saw they were parked right outside the door to a huge,
nondescript building. The entrance was open and eight uniformed men were stood
inside.
    “In,”
the officer repeated.
    Dylan
and Sophia did as they were told, closely followed by the rest of the group. They
were each grabbed by one of the men and marched down a long corridor, where
they went through some double doors and kept walking until they reached a room
at the end. The short, chubby policeman who’d driven them here unlocked the
door.
    “Say
hello to your new home,” he said to the teenagers. He then looked at the guards.
“Throw them inside and two of you wait out here in case they attempt to escape.
They’re an annoying little bunch.”
    Dylan
was shoved in first and he was surprised to see another boy his age sitting on
a bed in the corner. There were two girls of around 12 with him and judging by
the wide-eyed looks on their faces, they were just as shocked to see him.
    “Who
are you?” the boy asked.
    “I’m
Dylan, this is my sister Sophia and this lot are our new friends Jay, Neelam,
Toshiko, Lucy and Aaron.” He turned and pointed at the group, who had all been
locked in with him.
    The
room itself was white and bare, with nothing but empty pin boards for
decoration. It reminded Dylan of a hospital, but he couldn’t be sure that it
was one. The four beds made it look like a ward, but it was even less inviting
than any he had visited.
    “Nice
to meet you,” the boy said. “These are my sisters, Rhianna and Louise, and I’m
Andrew.”
    “Andrew!”
Neelam yelled. “Were you run over earlier today?”
    He
nodded. “How do you know?”
    “I
read the minds of the people who kidnapped us and they seemed to think you
developed some kind of super power during the accident.”
    “Super
power?”
    “Yeah,
didn’t you?”
    Andrew
looked down and patted his arms and chest. “Well, I was hit by a car and thrown
into the air, but survived to tell the tale. I was thinking I was just very
lucky.”
    “Mate,
you were hit by a car?” Jay said incredulously. “You look fine.”
    “Yeah
not a scratch on me.”
    “Sounds
like invulnerability to me,” Jay said.
    “How
did you get here?” Dylan asked. He was keen to find out.
    “I
was in hospital after the accident and some guys suddenly whisked me and my
sisters away out of a side door. They said they were transferring me to another
hospital, but they didn’t – they brought me here. Other than some tests they
carried out on the way, there’s been no sign of me receiving medical care.”
    “How
long have you been here?”
    “About
half an hour, I guess. They drove us down here from Carby in Yorkshire earlier
this evening. So, Neelam, I apologise for prying, but did you say you read
minds? That’s crazy.”
    “Well
you’re invulnerable,” she said.
    “True.”
He laughed.
    “They
think we might all have powers for some reason,” she explained. “Dylan here can
control water and Lucy can throw lightning bolts. We’re all pretty new to our
powers though.”
    “The
rest of us don’t even know if we have them yet,” Jay said. “I hope I can do
something pretty good though. Flying would be cool.”
    At
that moment, the door unlocked and two girls were thrown in. They both looked
Spanish or Italian with their olive colouring and wild curly black hair. The
youngest one fell to the floor.
    “I’ll
kill you if you hurt her,” the older girl shouted. She hovered in the air and
flew towards the door, but a guard shut it in her face.
    “Ow,”
she yelped as she banged her head and tumbled to the ground.
    “Well,
I guess someone beat me to flying,” Jay said with a jokey sigh.
    “Are
you OK?” Neelam asked.
    “Yeah,
yeah
