Chapter Fifteen

The bomb WenT oFF. Jason was thrown to the ground by the blast. A few seconds later, he was drenched with water from the pond. It went deadly quiet. He could feel his heart pounding. He opened his eyes and saw three rifle barrels pointing at him.

They were saying something, but the explosion had temporarily deafened him. He ran his hands over his body to see if he was hurt. He was kicked and kneeled on by a man. He cried out in pain as he was given another kick in his side. They rolled him over, frisked him to make sure he wasn’t carrying any weapons, and handcuffed him.

“Are you serious?” Jason said. He was hoisted up onto his feet by his shirt collar. A policeman gripped around his throat, and he could hear a muffled noise as he shouted something at him. His grip got tighter. Jason brought his knee up to the man’s groin and kicked himself free.

“I’m Jason Steed. Call MI6, MI5, SYUI, Scotland Yard or the Queen herself. But don’t strangle me again. I don’t want to hurt you.”

“Hurt us?” a voice asked. Jason didn’t hear it and looked down at himself. His feet were black with soot, and one of them was covered in blood. His new suit and white shirt were covered in a mixture of soot, blood, and pondweed.

His hands were cuffed behind his back and he fell to his knees. “Whatever. My hearing has gone. Just don’t strangle me again. I just got rid of the bomb—I’m one of the good guys.”

They helped Jason to his feet again, and two armed officers marched him back towards the palace, one either side of him holding his arms. Another two followed with their guns pointing at him.

Once they’d heard the bomb go off, the police cut open the doors. The royal family were escorted to the private residence and the others were questioned by the police. Crane and the Duke asked where Jason was. When he turned up, they were delighted to see him, but unsure why he was in handcuffs. The Duke explained the whole story and he was immediately released.

Jason called Infinity. They used their contacts at MI5 to make sure he wasn’t questioned. When the counter-terrorism unit arrived, they questioned everyone, but left Jason alone. Even Crane was asked for a statement.

Jason was escorted to a private bathroom, and he removed his ruined clothing and took a shower. A doctor went in to see him and so did Crane, who was still under the impression Jason was his grandson.

“Will he be okay?” Crane asked the doctor.

The doctor nodded. “The cut looks worse than it is. Once he gets cleaned up, I’ll take a look at him. His old stomach wound has opened again. And he said his hearing is still a little muffled, but I’m sure that will improve in a few hours. I’ll pop back in to see you in ten minutes Jason.”

Crane looked at Jason, who was now trying to clean the soot from his hair.
