Greg squeezed a stress ball. He was sitting in his apartment in Enterprise Tower, thinking over what John Paul had said. Did the LLN really believe they could pull off all that stuff they were planning? On one level, it sounded visionary, but on another it was nonsense. They could never get enough people to join in. OK, they had quite a few activists already, but the plans they were contemplating needed millions.

There was a light rap on his door. Greg glanced at his watch: 11.55 pm. When he opened the door, Chloe bustled past him and plumped herself onto a spare seat.

‘Wow, who would ever have thunk it?’ she said. ‘Here we both are in Enterprise Tower.’

Greg closed the door and sat down opposite Chloe. She was looking typically stylish in a red T-shirt, white jeans and olive army cap. ‘It’s been mad, hasn’t it?’ she said. ‘This is our first proper chance to chat. God, my head’s spinning. I couldn’t believe what happened to you and John Paul. Then that weird meal last night…what the fuck was that all about? Galt’s a nut, isn’t he? Quite charming in his own way, though.’

Greg threw his stress ball at her. ‘You’re in the LLN now. You can’t fancy the enemy. It’s against the rules.’ It was typical, wasn’t it? The girl he’d admired for so long was already enamoured of the world’s most monstrous man. Even worse, Galt had shown obvious interest in her.

Chloe smiled sweetly and started tossing the stress ball up and down. ‘Incredible about John Paul, eh?’ she said. ‘One minute he’s vowing never to join the LLN and the next he’s the leader. It’s a funny old world.’

‘He’s already turning into a fanatic, you know.’

‘I know what you mean. When he called to tell me his news, he started preaching. But at least he’s happy now.’ She stood up. ‘I think I’ve found my calling too. I’ve been working non-stop since I got here. I’m made up.’

‘What task did the LLN give you?’ Greg asked.

‘Nothing specific. Just to be here, watching Dosh and Rex, how they react to things, and who comes to see them. Just building up a picture of their behaviour really. I hear they’ve managed to smuggle lots of us into the homes of celebrities and the super rich. They’re going to decide later how to make best use of us.’

‘It’s all very mysterious, isn’t it?’

‘Most of the LLNers I’ve met are convinced it’s a reality TV thing and we’re all being secretly filmed. We were told it definitely wasn’t, but a lot of us are still suspicious.’

Greg nodded. ‘I still couldn’t swear it’s not. The thing I don’t get is how well funded and organised the LLN are.’

‘Best not to worry about it. Want to go upstairs and see the work I’ve done so far?’

Greg looked at his watch again. ‘It’s late, and I’m a bit tired. I’m still recovering from that beating.’

‘Come on, spoil sport. I’ve sweated blood over this.’

Greg shrugged. ‘OK.
