More Than Meets the Eye (3)

A car pulled up at the open end of the entrance of the alley. Iris went over and spoke to someone inside it.

She gestured for Harry to come closer.

"Get in the car," she said. "Take this and tell them how to use it." Iris handed him the bottle of medicine.

Harry grabbed the medicine and bolted.

Everyone was surprised, so he got a head start, but soon they were close behind him. He leaped over the fence so that the car couldn't follow. But people followed him on foot.

He spotted a police station and ran inside. The criminals disappeared.

Harry told the police what had happened. Using his information, they caught the gang and sent them to prison. But Harry secretly sent some of the medicine to Iris' father. Harry asked for training in science as his reward. Harry's boss worried that he would be in over his head. But he was head and shoulders above the other beginners and soon started his own experiments.
