Russell and Nell sat in the office and waited. They waited for the phone call from Brazil. Ten minutes passed. Then twenty minutes. After half an hour, Neil became impatient. 'This is silly!' he said. 'He's not going to phone back. Let's go home!'
At that moment, the phone started to ring. Russell picked it up.
'Russell Bowden here,' the inventor said.
'I've kept you waiting,' said Rufus Garton. 'I'm sorry, I had to drive to a friend's flat. That's where I'm phoning from now. Listen carefully.
'My phones are bugged,' Garton went on. 'I'm sure about that. And I'm being followed. I'm followed everywhere that I go.'
