As soon as he left the old man’s house, Jack pulled his Map Mate out of his bag. The GPF’s Map Mate was a hand-held navigation device that gave you directions from one place to another, anywhere in the world.
What made the Map Mate so special was that it didn’t need to have roads to guide you. It could give you directions over any type of terrain including jungles, deserts or even ice. The Map Mate always knew where you were and where you were going. All the agent had to do was follow the arrows.
After Jack programmed in the name “Monterrey,” the Map Mate calculated Jack’s route. According to the device, Jack needed to go eighty kilometers, or almost fifty miles, east. Looking around him, Jack couldn’t see any public transport options and there was no way he could walk that far: he needed to get there fast!
Plucking his Flyboard out of his Book Bag, he placed the gadget on the ground. The GPF’s Flyboard looked like a skateboard, only it used hydrogen-powered jets instead of feet to make it go. The Flyboard could carry an agent at a speed of twenty-five miles per hour as it hovered a yard off the ground.
Jack turned on the Flyboard by tapping a few commands on his Watch Phone. Once he’d strapped his Anti-detection Visor over his eyes and Noggin Mold to his head, he stepped on. Within moments, Jack was moving east toward Monterrey and possibly the first clue on the map.
