My long awaited (not!) CHERUB fic is mostly about Kerry. I think she is a seriously misunderstood character.
QUOTE FROM FIC: She has the burden of the whole world on her shoulders - so how much more can she take?
This is why I'm choosing to write this fic. It begins with a prolouge, the mission breifing. It's set after The Fall, so you'll have to read that and Divine Madness to understand this fic.
PLOT: Kerry has gaps in her life. They are soon to be filled. But what if the things that fill the gaps aren't what she wanted? What if they're the complete opposite? Juggling love, friendship and what's right, Kerry runs deeper into the mess that's her life. She has the burden of the whole world on her shoulders - so how much more can she take? Set after The Fall, uses bits of The Fall and Divine Madness. Rated R for later chapters.

MISSION BACKGROUND - THE DEVON MISSION
In 2006, a CHERUB went undercover to find infomation on a suspected drug plant. The task was to infiltrate the amature band 'The Rock' and it's members. All of them were suspects. The task also involved joining the band. The aim was to find out infomation about the various dealers and customers. The CHERUB found a suspected marijuana plants in one suspect's basement. The other suspects claimed to know nothing about the drug scheme. The police didn't have enough evidence to prosecute all of the band, only the one suspect - Jack 'JJ' Taylor - who's basement was being used to grow the marijuana. He refused to speak about the other band member's involvement in the drug plant. It was assumend he was working solo, and took 3 years in a juvinile delequent facility, untill his eighteenth birthday, then 12 years in prison.
WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO WITH IT?
In Devon, now, there are anonymous weapons dealers. All the evidence so far points to the members of 'The Rock'. However it's not enough evedence to go on. This is where the police force in Devon asked CHERUB to help.
THE CHERUB MISSION
The main aim of this mission, is to make friends with the members of the band. Get close to them and find out their daily routine; Do they meet up regularly? Are all of them suspected to be selling weapons, or is it just one? To introduce the more CHERUBs going to the band, will be the CHERUB who discovered the drug plant, Kerry Chang.
MISSION PLAN
Newly wed John and Chloe will move into a house on Kingsmeade Road - a few doors down from prime suspect and secondary suspects Craig Walker and Nick Evans - with their four adopted children. The family surname will be Mason. To minimise confusion, James, Shakeel and Dana will go by their original names, Kerry will go by Suze, as that was the name she had when she was last in Devon.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
Each agent will have one band member to befriend.
James Adams : Mika Roberts
Kerry Chang : Nick Evans
Shakeel Dajani : Maureen 'MJ' Jones
Dana Smith : Craig Walker
If James, Shakeel and Dana succeed in befriending the band, their goal is to socialise and gather whatever infomation they can. With Kerry, though, it's slightly different. She's already known within the band, so she'll have easier and quicker access to infomation. And, with Dana and Kerry, it's a bit harder than James and Shakeel, because we've already established that Craig Walker and Nick Evans are definately members of the buisness. They'll know someone is after them, and will be suspicous of everyone.
NOTE: ON THE 13TH DAY OF JULY, 2007 THIS MISSION PLAN WAS PASSED BY THE CHERUB ETHICS COMMITTEE BY A 3:0 VOTE, ON THE CONDITIONS THAT ALL AGENTS UNDERSTOOD THE FOLLOWING:
This mission has been qualified MEDIUM RISK. All agents are reminded of their right to refuse to undertake this mission and to withdraw from it any time. Agents will be at risk from violence, usage of illegal weapons and the possibility of exposure to illegal drugs. Agents are reminded they will be excluded from CHERUB if they willingly take any class A drugs.
