New story
As I walked into the Defender, I used Amy's phone to call Ewart, 'Hey cam.' He chirped. 'Hey Ewart, Amy's pissing me off.' I sighed, 'Why?' he asked, 'She said I was a whiny little shit.' I replied, 'Well that shows she prefers Scargill to you.' He added, 'I bet Scargill's in heaven, nerdy little twat with Amy all over him.' I muttered. 'You have a bit of a soft spot for her, don't you?' he asked. 'No, why? Ok, maybe a little. I am 16 you know, and she is amazing.' I admitted, 'Oh, because you get a glazed over look in your eyes when she's around.' He informed. 'Holy crap is it that obvious?' I asked, 'No, I'm kidding.' He joked, and as Amy pounded the car bonnet, I saw Scargill come up behind her with a switchblade, 'Oh fuck wait there.' I said, dropping the phone, as Scargill grabbed Amy and put the blade at her neck, 'You move she dies, Ross.' He warned, 'Ross, don't, leave me.' Amy said, urging me to get away, 'There's one thing you never put in a trap if you're smart if you value your continued existence. If you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there is one thing you never, ever put in a trap.' I warned. 'Oh, and what is that?' Scargill joked. 'Me' I sighed, before lunging in at his exposed ribs and hitting him in the chest, he bent double as I wrestled the switchblade out of his hand, he lunged forwards and lodged the blade in my stomach. I felt immense pain, but I knew what I was doing and swung a punch at his jaw before he hit my nose and blood gushed, and as I fell to the floor, I saw Ewart pull up and arrest Scargill.
As I came to in CHERUB campus, I heard beeping and a few people in seats waiting for me, I saw people pacing up and down. I saw Amy, Ewart, Kerry, Mr. Large, which was unusual, since I hadn't seen him since I waved basic training goodbye. I glanced at Amy pace back up, she caught a glimpse of my eyes, and the next minute, several people were running into my cubicle, 'Cameron Leigh, what in God's name are you doing here? Nice to see you still.' Large echoed, 'Wow, that was a bit loud.' I sighed, coughing after getting those words out, Amy gave me a hug, 'Jesus, that's a bit sore.' I muttered, holding my shoulder after we broke away, Ewart came striding up, 'Cameron, first things first, nice job with Scargill, we got the whole operation shut down because of him, also I need to talk in about 5 minutes, so I'll come back then.' He said, shaking my hand and walking off, 'That was fast.' I joked, laughing as he gave me the evils. I glanced over at the desk, I saw some cards from people, I saw some grapes, 'Who brought those?' I asked, 'Bruce.' Amy replied, 'BRUCE! I thought he was off on a mission.' I said, 'Welllll you have been out for a while.' She added. 'How long?' I asked, tentatively, I thought I had just got under, and woken up the next day, '3 weeks.' Kerry interjected, I felt a bullet hit my chest, '3 weeks. Ok.' I sighed, with no emotions, 'They said you were lucky not to have serious damage, the blade went past your stomach and nearly hit some major arteries.' She added, 'I don't care, as long as I'm alive.' I muttered, before a doctor strode in, 'Well then Mr. Leigh, you have been lucky, you've been out for a while, so your injuries have been healing up, you'll need some physiotherapy for a bit and then you can go back into the field, so you're discharged now, try to start Physiotherapy right away, understood?' He asked, 'loud and clear' I sighed.
As I trundled over to my room, I unlocked the door and Amy, Kerry, Gabrielle, Connor, Callum, Kyle and Bruce were all lying around in my bedroom, 'Christ, how did you get…' I was about to ask that question before realizing that Kyle had his lock gun, 'I need to take that off you I swear.' I warned him, 'Well you weren't in, and you didn't say we couldn't.' He replied, 'Yes, and I didn't say you could either.' I sighed, before I heard my phone go off, it was Mac, I strolled over to the office and knocked, 'Come in.' He said. I sat down and he began to talk about the mission. After 5 minutes, he presented me with a Navy CHERUB shirt, 'Oh my god, Kerry is gonna flip.' I muttered, throwing off my New Zealand jersey and hastily poking my arms and head through the holes.
As I sauntered back over, I saw everyone going down for breakfast, so I strolled downstairs to join them. As I flopped down onto the bench, I began to explain what had happened, 'Well I was in a bit of trouble...' I said, 'What happened?' Kerry asked, 'I dunked someone's head in a vat of baked beans and fought two others.' I replied, laughing, 'Oh god cam, only you.' She sighed, 'I like how you're wearing a navy shirt.' Callum said I was proud someone had finally noticed, 'Oh no, Cam take it off.' They all said, 'Nope, it's mine.' I replied, 'No cam, people work forever for that and you wear it, take it off before we scrape you off the floor.' Bruce pleaded, 'I got this so, I'm wearing it.' I said, as Amy, Paul and Arif came striding over, 'Well we did warn you.' Connor sighed, and as Amy came over, she brought me into a hug, 'Nice one cam, you deserved this.' She whispered, 'Good job Cam, you've done a great job from what I heard.' Arif said, shaking my hand. I turned around and saw everyone's face, and it was perfect, everyone was gobsmacked. Kerry had a mouth open so large you could fit a baseball in her mouth without it hitting a tooth.
