James Adams staggered into his room and collapsed onto his king sized bed; he was exhausted after a tough session sparring in the dojo with none other than his ex-girlfriend Kerry Chang. Although she was a head shorter than his impressive 6 foot 1 she beat him every time. Whilst James was busy feeling sorry for himself about losing to Kerry again the phone rang; as usual James let it ring to voicemail expecting it to be his kid sister Lauren moaning about something or other. He sat up quickly when he heard the sharp voice of his handler Meryl echoing through the room; "James Adams I know you're in there so pick up the bloody phone". James quickly leant across the room picking up the phone and falling off the bed in the process. "James, are you OK?" Meryl said hearing the crash, concern creeping into her voice. "Fine" James grumbled "What have I done now?" he said expecting to be in trouble for something. "Nothing James, unless there's something you want to confess to?" she said, the icy tone back, "You're wanted in mission control in fifteen minutes, Ewart wants to see you. Don't be late." She finished cutting off the connection leaving James sitting on the floor wondering what Ewart wanted.
15 Minutes Later
James hurried into the room only a few minutes late to find Kerry and his sister Lauren leafing through mission briefings whilst Ewart tapped his fingers on the desk impatiently. "Your late." He said tossing James a wad of paper, "Read it." he snapped.
Mission Briefing for James Adams, Lauren Adams and Kerry Chang
La Grenouille
Also known as Rene Benoit, La Grenouille is a French international arms dealer. After a brief working relationship with the CIA he was allegedly shot, his body was found in the Washington Channel. However MI5 and the CIA have recently come to believe that he faked his own death in order to get out of the complicated relationship with the CIA.
The Role of CHERUB
The CIA believes they have located La Grenouille's new identity, they believe that La Grenouille is living with his sister Nathalie Chastain, a widow with 3 children. He is posing as their distant uncle from France "Harold Michel" who has come to America to experience the culture and get away from a nasty divorce.
The Cherubs' task is to befriend Nathalie's 3 children and attempt to gain an insight into whether La Grenouille is continuing his weapons business and if Harold Michel is in fact Rene Benoit.
The Cherubs will move into the Washington area with mission controlled Ewart Asker and attempt to befriend the three children. The following agents will all adopt the surname Pope and target the respective children.
James Adams/ Pope (15): Romain Chastain
Kerry Chang/ Pope (14): Claire Chastain (15)
Lauren Adams/ Pope (12): Darcelle Chastain (12)
Their cover story will be that Ewart has been offered a new job as the US representative of his business so the family is moving to Washington. James and Lauren will pose as the children from a previous marriage and Kerry will be adopted due to her conflicting ethnicity.
This mission has been classified as MEDIUM RISK. Although he deals with weapons dealing, La Grenouille is known not to be a violent man. The Cherubs should be in no immediate danger.
"So what do you think James" Ewart asked as soon as James had finished reading, "I'm in" he replied, Ewart looked at the girls, "You both in?" he said, receiving excited nods in return. "Great" he said brusquely, "We fly out tomorrow, pack your bags and I will tell you more on the flight". With that Ewart picked up his laptop and walked out telling the three to email if they had any questions. James smiled as Ewart walked out the door; he was going to the USA!
