CHAPTER

ONE

One afternoon, Zac Power was shopping for cool new sneakers at the Westbridge Mall.

Zac was a bit of an expert on the subject of being cool. He was 12 years old, and he worked as a spy for the Government Investigation Bureau, or GIB for short.

As he shopped, Zac watched out for people he knew. He didn’t want anyone from school to think he cared how he looked. That would be try-hard.

At Hot Diggity, the hot-dog shop, Ann and her best friend Lucy were giggling into their milkshakes. Girls!

His favourite CD shop, Tunez, was full of kids from school. The whole world seemed to be hanging out at Westbridge. But Zac slipped by them all, unnoticed.

Zac headed towards Sports Station. Inside, the music was so loud the walls were shaking. It was rock music, the only kind Zac liked. Sports Station had the best sneakers at Westbridge. Zac’s favourites were a pair with green-and-yellow stripes on the side.

Zac picked them up. Straight away, a sales guy bounced over. A plastic nametag on a cord around his neck read, ‘Davo’.

‘You all right, mate?’ asked Davo.

‘Can I try these? Size…uh…eight?’

Zac said.

‘No worries. I’ll go check out the back.’

The sales guy disappeared into the storeroom. Zac waited. He looked at some T-shirts. No sales assistant. He picked up a magazine and checked out the photos of kids skateboarding down stair-rails in the latest clothes. Still no Davo.

What is he doing out there?

Suddenly, Davo reappeared, a shoebox in his hand and a weird look on his face.

‘We didn’t have size eight in the green and yellow. But why don’t you try these?’

He opened the box. Inside, Zac saw a pair of the ugliest sneakers ever. They were grey, the colour of belly-button fluff. The soles were twice as thick as ordinary sneakers. They were covered in wires and flashing lights.
