Auntie Roz clapped a hand to her forehead. ‘I must have words with Dr Willows,’ she groaned.

‘Send as many spies as you like,’ taunted April. ‘You’ll never find us now that we’ve teleported our headquarters to a new location. Oh, and by the way, that creature you can see heading for the rabbit is my toy sloth, Victor. A toy who has been modified to eat anything. Plastic, rubber, glass – you name it. He’s particularly fond of metal, however, and likes nothing better than chewing old robots to pieces.’ The camera spun back to April and she jabbed a finger at its lens. ‘So stay away! Or Victor’s next meal will be robot rabbit pie! Understand?’

The screen went blank.

‘What a charming little princess she is,’ said Dan.

Arabella growled. ‘That punk! I’d like to tie her pigtails to a runaway train. Who the heck is she, anyway?’

Auntie Roz consulted a tablet device. ‘The girl is April Elizabeth Spume. Seven years old. Daughter of a pair of rocket scientists. A pupil at St Jim’s Boarding School for Gifted and Annoying Children but seems to spend most of her time skiving off and taking part in fiendish plots. Rumour has it she was one of the gang of kids who tried to kidnap the popular children’s TV character Callum the Halibut last year, but it was never proved. Quite the little handful. The boy standing behind her is Sebastian Rodriguez Plum. It seems he lost one thumb at a safari park, trying to feed cheese-and-onion crisps to a leopard, and had it replaced with a stainless-steel version – the thumb, I mean, not the leopard. He can do an awful lot of damage with that metal thumb, and he’s used it to vandalise everything from aeroplanes to zoos. Sebastian’s immensely strong, not very bright and just as mean as April.’
