At four o’clock he’s standing at his bedroom window. Clara’s car makes its appearance in spite of the newly erected roadblocks, and he wonders if she’s chipped too by now.

Mr Lestrange does not appear in his bay window. He thinks about what Wooden Soldier No Right Turn Sleeper said about Lestrange’s home network being impenetrable and hopes his hacker friends are having some luck.

Mathew turns his gaze back to the road. Clara is staring right at him. She holds up her hand, half a salute, half a solidarity wave, and he mimics her gesture. She smiles and he smiles back, and then she disappears.

Automatically, he turns from the window and runs down the stairs. Clara’s car is just turning out of the street.

Mathew steps over to the front door of the house next door. There is no bell, so he knocks and waits. Time passes. The door remains closed. He knocks again, louder. The door stays firmly shut in the sphynx-like house.

He looks at the window. The curtains are drawn. He’s never noticed them drawn before, but then he’s never really paid attention. He tries one last time.

“Mr Lestrange!” he says loudly to the unresponsive door. He opens the Nexus and searches for the house in the freely available directory, but then, of course, it isn’t there. Lestrange has never broadcast any data. It’s like his house is sealed. Whatever is in there, he really doesn’t want anyone knowing about it.

Mathew glances over his shoulder. Across the line of garden walls, he can see the roadblock at the end of Pickervance Road. A couple of the soldiers are staring his way. He decides on a tactical retreat and goes back inside his own house.
