CHERUB :: Identity

by Bejay

James Adams has left CHERUB. Lauren Adams is still at CHERUB, felling alone. When she goes on a training exercise it all goes horribly wrong. After recovering from an accidnt she is plunged staight back into the action. A jail break and a pane crash.

1. RUN

Greg "Rat" Rathbone was a fairly well built 15 years old. He had long and tangled blonde hair. Rat had spent the first 12 years inside a strict religious commune in outback Australia called the Survivors. He hated running. His legs ached as he rounded the last corner of the 400 metre running track at CHERUB campus. Rat had received 50 punishment laps for swearing in History Class. The Teacher Mr Codwa had a fearsome reputation as one of the toughest and strictest teachers on Campus beside the training instructors.

As Rat staggered back to the main building and waited for the lift on the ground floor for the lift up to his eighth floor room on the elderly receptionist noticed him and smiled. Violet had worked at CHERUB Campus for over 30 years. As the lift rumbled up he suddenly remembered the mound of homework that was due tomorrow sitting on his desk in his room. As Rat stepped into his room which contained a double bed, bathroom, laptop, TV and a microwave as well as a sofa, he dived in to the showering and changing into a clean CHERUB uniform, a navy shirt with a winged baby sitting on a globe with the letters of CHERUB around. He headed back down to see his girlfriend Lauren. He found her sprawled over her bed with one eye on the news hurriedly scribbling the last few lines to her Russian essay, before heading down to the dining room for dinner and the to the Dojo for Judo training. The two exchanged hellos and a quick kiss before going back down the corridor together and waiting for the lift down to the dining hall. After Indian for dinner and plum cobbler for desert Lauren headed back upstairs to quickly put her Judo outfit on before rushing over to the Dojo. Unfortunately for Lauren class had already started. The instructor Miss Tadaka yelled at Lauren in her mix of English and Japanese before giving Lauren washing up duty for the rest of the week.

Rat was sitting at his desk doing his homework while keeping one eye on the news. Rat had been interested in the news ever since he was rescued from He was surprised when his mobile rang and even more surprised to see that it was his best friend Andy Lagan's name who appeared on the screen. He answered guessing that Andy wanted some help with homework but was mystified when he heard Andy chattering, "Meet me at the Lake something is happening".
