The Protectors - Book One - L J M Wadsworth

Sixteen-year-old Cal Taylor's life is already complicated. His mother is permanently on the edge of a nervous breakdown, he's had to resort to petty crime in order to keep them financially afloat, and he's just discovered his young friend Shrew is involved with some seriously dangerous gangsters. But if Cal thought he was already surrounded by secrets, they're nothing compared to the bombshell that's about to land on him when Edward and Emma hit town. On the run from a top-secret military outfit, the Twins have chosen Cal to help them. But why? As Cal begins to find out, life is about to take a serious turn for the worse.
