Hello again
For those of you that are wondering yes I will be putting up another chapter to my first story but I am slightly bored with that story so I have decided to alternate. First I will do some work on "the big training exercise" then some work on "the big break" (this story). This way of working may not turn out to be faster but I am going to try it as this way I won't get bored with the story / plot and decide to give up entirely.
Any way on a more positive note this story will be based around 5 years after James, Lauren, Kerry and the rest of the gang have left cherub campus and there is a few new faces as agents but our old faces will now be back as staff. So without further ado I am proud to present chapter one of "The Big Break"
"I'm so tired" May said to her best friend and training partner Alayne as she woke up after a night of sleeping in a poor quality tent in inland Australia.
"Tell me about it but look at it this way 99 days down 1 to go" her friend reminded her "if you quit now then you will have to go through all this again"
"Good point can you start breakfast I'll go start translating our briefings" May told her friend
"Sure thing, I hope today's task isn't too hard but knowing the instructors it will be".
"Now as I am sure you all know today is your 100th day of basic training" Mrs. Smith the head training instructor shouted at the 4 people left out of the original 6 they all nodded in reply "well you're task today is simple dig through the sand in front of your chairs to get to your grey tee-shirt now I know some of you are thinking hold on that's too easy there has got to be a catch and you are correct in a sense as yes there is a catch but not just one but two yes two as the first catch is that you must be kneeling down in the sand with your feet off the ground, and the second is that you all are to wear a blindfold during this test" she finished.
1…2…3… GO were the four words that May and I had been waiting for during the past 15 minutes. The second we heard them we dropped down to our knees and started digging furiously through the hot desert floor only to soon find that it was scorching hot and within a minute we were screaming in pain. Luckily for us one of the training instructors, Mr. Adams had foreseen this and came to each trainee every 5 minutes with a bucket of water. But then I noticed that I had been digging for at least 10 minutes and getting nowhere and that the instructors would not have made us put on a blindfold if it was not a trick. So I stopped digging and felt under my chair and low and behold I felt it a material substance that had no right sitting out here in the hot Australian outback it was a tee-shirt, my tee-shirt, when Mr. Adams told me to remove my blindfold I looked at the tee-shirt grasped in my hand it was my brand new grey tee-shirt.
As time went on Mr. Adams told more and more people to remove their blindfolds. May was the last person to realize the trick that the instructors had played on us. As soon as her blind fold was off I ran over to her and hugged her and told her this "see I told you that you could do it if you just kept going until you finished remember 'this is tough but cherubs are tougher' "
After the final test was over we flew back to campus and mercifully the economy section of the plane was booked so cherub had to stump up for business class tickets making the 21 hour trip slightly more pleasant. Although it was breaking all sorts of rules May and I left our grey cherub tee-shirts on under our jumpers.
