He’d been way more than ten minutes! Zac swung his bag over his shoulder and ran for the door.

Just as he was leaving the change room, something on the floor caught his eye. It was a DVD. It looked like it had fallen out of a locker. Zac picked it up. It had the BIG logo on it! Underneath the logo, it said ‘Recruitment ad – Top Secret’. Zac stuffed the DVD into his pocket as he ran out of the change room.

Coach was running down the player’s ramp. ‘There you are, Zav,’ he said. ‘Where in the world have you been? We’ve been looking everywhere.’

‘Sorry – don’t quite know my way around yet,’ said Zac, following Coach.

Coach led Zac to the bus outside. The rest of the players were already on board and chatting, excited after their training session. But Zac was distracted. He couldn’t stop thinking about the DVD in his pocket.

The bus stopped out front of the High Towers Hotel. Awesome! thought Zac. He’d heard it was the fanciest hotel in Bladesville.

When the bus door opened, the Superstars’ fans tried to climb onto the bus. Huge security guards dressed in orange jackets pulled them back.

This is nuts! thought Zac.

Zac followed his team mates out. Crowds of people waved and called out from all sides. The security guards held everyone back. Cameras flashed and girls screamed. Some fans were holding out autograph books for the players to sign.

Zac signed ‘Zav Powski’ over and over as he made his way up the stairs. No-one knew who he was, but they didn’t seem to care. He was a Superstar!

Once they were all inside the hotel, the doors closed. The security guards blocked the entrance. ‘No-one is getting in or out tonight,’ said Coach. ‘We are in lock-down. No reporters, no screaming fans.’

I guess that’s all the spying I’ll be doing today, thought Zac. He had been hoping to slip out once everyone went to bed, but he could see there was no chance of that.

The team had dinner together. Zac was dying to get to his room so that he could check out the DVD.

Finally Zac told Coach he was tired from the training session and made his way to his room. He unlocked the door and walked in. He stopped dead, looking around. The room was huge! He had his own big screen TV and king-size bed.

Zac usually had to sleep in awkward and uncomfortable places on missions, if he got to sleep at all.

I could get used to being a professional soccer player, thought Zac, grinning, as he took a running leap onto the bed.
