Stormbreaker Page #4

I saw the chimney on the way in.

The kid's right.

It's clear.

Sure. You think they'd leave it open

if they thought we could all climb up?

You can't. You're too big.

But I can.

Go on, then, Cub. Up you go.

- All right, mate?

- Wotcha.

- Cup of tea?

- Oh, yeah. Ta.

We should take that lot back to base.

Nah, later will be fine.

See ya.

- Fancy a nice cup of tea, boys?

- Wait till I get out!

Shut up! Sit down.

What's that lot playing at,

having a kid with them?

I don't know. He looks like a schoolboy.

He's only about 14.

I know. We'd better get him back to his mummy.

Probably needs a nappy change by now.

Boss? Are we moving?

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hold on, lad!

Oh... Hey!

Hold on, fellas!

Cuts, bruises, fractured limbs.

It's a miracle no-one was killed.

Well, I'm very sorry, Major.

We will be talking to our man - boy.

He's no child, Mr Blunt.

He's a lethal weapon.

He's ready.

Oi!

Heard you were leaving.

Yeah, that's right.

What you did earlier...

If it weren't for you...

Here.

And finally, an amazing gift

made to the British nation.

The Stormbreaker has been called

the most sophisticated personal

computer of the 21st century.

And one month ago

its multi-billionaire inventor Darrius Sayle

made his astonishing announcement.

That's right.

I'm gonna give a Stormbreaker

to every school in the country.

And while I'm at it,

I wouldn't mind giving you one too.

Really, Mr Sayle!

- We don't trust him.

- Why not?

Well, we don't trust anyone.

It's sort of what we do.

We thought Sayle was too good to be true.

So, six months ago we put in an agent

to keep an eye on him.

- Are you talking about my uncle?

- Yes.

Sayle has a manufacturing plant in Cornwall.

It's built on top of what used to be a tin mine.

Lan Rider went there as a security guard.

He sent us these images of the old mine

entrancejust outside Sayles'complex.

In his last message to us, he mentioned a virus.

A computer virus?

He was on his way to tell us.

But he never arrived.

Something's going on.

We need to get someone to take a look around,

and this may be our last chance.

Why me?

I'll show you.

This is Kevin Blake.

He's a computer nerd.

Six weeks ago he won a competition

in a computer magazine.

Disc Drive World. Do you ever read it?

- No.

- The first prize was a visit to Cornwall,

and a chance to try out the Stormbreaker.

- He's due to arrive tomorrow.

- It's a PR stunt.

Mr Sayle is trying to show the world

what a nice man he is.

Get a kiddie in to look at the works.

Now you will take his place.

Yeah, but I look nothing like him.

We've spoken to the editor.

Huh.

There's just one problem.

I know nothing about computers
