Mike's next-door neighbour is Lance Loosley, nicknamed Loser at school because he's so unpopular. Loser tells Mike that a run-down building is being as a laboratory to run dangerous experiments. Although Mike doesn't believe him, he has to think again when Loser smashes a tube he claims contains a deadly virus. Ages 10-12.
