DC: I don't own CHERUB or any charecters
Chapter 1: Breaking In
Lucas Watt had completely misjudged the fall and missed the ledge he intended to grab onto. As he came to the bottom of the air vent he smashed through a small sheet of glass covering the exit. Lucas screamed in pain as a piece of glass was sticking into his calf muscle. He pulled it out wincing at the blood coming out of his leg. He pulled a tissue out and wrapped it around his leg trying to stop the bleeding.
Luke had got just down the hallway when he heard loud footsteps. Crap thought Luke; he mentally kicked himself for screaming as it had alerted the guards' attention from the broken glass to a intruder. He found a dark corner and pushed himself flat onto it just as a guard walked by if he hadn't been wearing full black he would have been seen.
It had taken Luke 20 minutes to eventually get to the office as he had to hide from the guards patrolling the warehouse. He had 10 minutes until the money was sent to the bank so he had to be quick. He raced up the stairs and up to the office door. He brought the lock gun out from his pocket and slotted it in and in two minutes he opened the door. He saw the boxes on the desk and went over to them to see the lock. It took Luke 5 minutes until he eventually got it all the boxes open. Luke knew time was running out so a stuffed all the money from the boxes into his pockets. He ran out the door and down the stairs.
He had managed to get to the fir exit in just under a minute. As he pushed the door open a alarm went. He looked at his watch and saw that the armoured van must have arrived and the guards discovered that the money was missing. He sprinted down to the main road and stopped at the junction, he could hear police sirens in the background and when the light changed to red he sprinted over the side and down one of the dark and small alleyways which was like the veins of the city as the interweaved as well as being the quickest way around the city they were also some of the most dangerous ways around the city. Full of drunks and drug dealers but Luke was only scarred of being caught. As he dashed through the alleyways he tripped over something and smacked into the ground he got up his face stingy like mad trying to see what he tripped over. As he looked he saw a couple of hooded teenagers walking over to him. Luke was slowly backing away but stopped when one of them spoke.
"Ay look man, you didn't see nufing bout what were doing kay, so if you keep your trap closed I'm cool", said a hoodie, Luke nodded vigorously ", now beat it kid!
Luke had eventually got back. He knew the door would be locked but he checked just in case, it was locked. He looked up at the sign which read 'Birmingham Care House' in rusting gold coloured letters. He ran over to the side and threw a rock at one of the windows. Someone opened it and peered outside to see who it was, once they saw it was him he dropped out a small stepladder. Luke jumped onto it and caught the window ledge. He eventually managed to haul himself in and fell to the carpeted floor.
"I take it you got it then?" the boy said. As Luke got up the boy shoved him against the wall and brought a pen knife out of his pocket. "Hand it over!" the boy shouted. He glared into Luke's dark brown eyes. "Hand it over! "The boy shouted again.
"Fine take it then" Luke shouted as he dropped the wads of cash on the ground.
"Get on the bed and don't try your luck," the boy pointed to a bed and Luke begrudgingly sat on it. The boy started to stash all the wads of cash in his jacket pockets and jeans.
"I can't believe I trusted you Kevin," Luke snorted. "I must have been drunk or have just run into a brick wall."
Kevin was too interested in his money to realize Luke was talking to him. Luke decided to sneak up on Kevin and smash the lava lamp over his head. Luke tried to walk silently over to the table but he could only hear his heavy breathing. He picked up the lava lamp and sneaked up behind Kevin.
"I can't believe you believed me," Kevin remarked. Luke smashed Kevin head around the side of the head and Kevin fell to the ground smacking his head on the carpet. Luke could see blood coming out of the side of Kevin's head. Luke was in shock of what he had just done, he ran over to Kevin to find him unconscious. Luke fumbled Kevin's jacket off of him and took back the money and then the money out of his jeans. He slammed the door open and ran down the hallway and jumped down the stairs. He heard some commotion upstairs as he must have woken up people by slamming the door but commotion soon turned into hysteria and chaos as people must have seen Kevin unconscious and bleeding on the ground. Luke ran over to the reception and started fumbling through the drawers and found a bunch of keys, he dashed towards the double doors but someone had jumped on him he fell to the floor and as he fell he hit his head on the edge of the marble desktop.
