CHERUB SERIES
Sydney Harbour - In Danger !
Chapter 1
The sun was beating down on the cherubs legs. Lauren and Bethany were busily trying to tan their legs to perfection whilst the boys played a rough game of football in the ocean. All the cherubs were on their summer holidays in style.
"And he scores !!!!!!!!!!!!!" James yells whilst beating his chest in a macho manner. Lauren turned to her friend rolling her eyes "He's such an idiot". Bethany was only too eager to agree.
Meanwhile Kerry and Dante were having an in depth conversation "How weird is it to be having Christmas in hot weather?" said Kerry "I'd reckon, It's completely odd"
Zara, the chairwoman of the Cherub campus, interrupted everyone's activities by calling James, Lauren and Kerry to her office. The whispers started immediately
"What is Zara doing on holiday?" "What do they want this time?"
"What have I done this time?" James winced as he thought of possible punishments
"Why so urgent to interrupt holiday"
After a quick dip in the rolling waves to clean off, James, his sister Lauren and girlfriend Kerry began walking up to the hotel that they were all staying in. Zara was waiting for them looking very impatient – unusual for her - so for once in his life James decided to hurry up.
Zara beckoned them into a room James had never been in. He was surprised to see 2 burly looking men sitting on the opposite side of the desk where Zara took her seat.
"I'm going to cut to the chase" Zara said in a very stern voice "We want you for a mission now" Lauren began to complain but Zara cut her off "Just listen to what I'm going to say and of course you can all decline and continue your holiday" The 3 cherubs fell silent and watched Zara carefully. James was particularly interested in the 2 men either side of her.
"The Australian government has recently had terrorist threats from a American Terrorist Group. They are threatening to bomb the Sydney Harbour Bridge on Christmas Day and we have every reason to believe that they are serious. The Australian Police cannot arrest suspects because they have reason to believe that the President of the United States himself is linked with the Terrorist Group. The Mission has been passed but has been classified High Risk. Due to the nature of the threat the mission would not be long and should take 3 weeks minimum. We do however need to leave immediately if you wish to be involved."
James, Lauren and Kerry looked at each other. They didn't know the exact significance of an attack this severe on Australia but knew that it was important. Really they had no choice. Kerry smiled at Zara and said "You didn't even have to ask; of course we'll do it."
Lauren asked "When do we leave?" Zara looked either side of her and said in reply "Immediately"
