Bomb

"Yea what is it?" Max said into his phone. "Max we got a major problem." "What's the matter Sam?" Max asked. "I don't know the boss just said to get you and Jason here a.s.a.p." Sam said. "O.K. I'll be there in five minutes" Max said as he began to run. Max came bursting into the dinning area of the Cherub campus and looked for Jason. 'Jason" Max said as he spotted his friend. "What is it Max?" Jason asked. "Zara wants us in her office now" Max said. Without another word Jason jumped up and sprinted down the hallway after Max. Max and Jason skidded round the corner to the Chairwomen's office. The secretary looked up as she saw them come round the corner and told them "go in." Max and Jason walked into Zara Askers office. Sam was already seated at Zara's desk.

"What's this all about Zara?" Max asked as he and Jason sat down. Zara looked at them with terrified eyes and said "one of our agents has turned traitor and put a bomb inside the campus." "What?" Max said. "Do you have idea who is behind it?" Jason asked. "No all we know is the agent put the bomb somewhere on campus and it could go off at any second" Zara said. "Why are we the only ones to know?" Max asked. "You three are our most senior and effective agents." Zara said. "But it could still take us ages to work this whole thing out Zara." Sam said. "I know but we do have one clue" Zara said. "What's that?" Jason asked. "The person who planted the bomb has left for a mission today." "How many people started missions today?' Sam asked. "See now that's the problem" Zara said. "Three teams started today." "So are we going to supposedly join the teams and look for clues to tell us who planted the bomb?" Max asked. "Exactly" Zara said. "Alright what three teams started today?" Sam asked. "James Adams, Kerry Chang are one team Lauren Adams, Greg Rathbone (Rat) are a team and Kyle Blueman, Bruce Norris make up the final team." "You certain those are the only teams Zara?" Max asked. "Positive" Zara said.

"Alright so when do we leave?" Sam asked. "Now" Zara said. Bring, Bring "o hang on one sec" Zara said. "Hello". "Listen good Zara the bomb is set up to go in 10 days and when it goes off all of you are going straight to hell!"

Ten Days

"Who is this?" Zara asked. The person on the phone laughed "you really think I will tell you my name Zara." "Like I said Zara you have ten days so you better find a good place to hide." Click the phone was disconnected. "What is it Zara?" Max asked. "The bomb is set up to blow in ten days." "Why don't we just move all of the agents to another location?" Sam asked. "Use your brains Sam." Max said. "What?" Sam asked. "Were exactly would we move all of us to?" Max asked. "Care centers" Sam said. "Yea we will just go up to the care centers and say hi there are over 10000 of us would u take us in." "Yea but there are lots of care homes." Sam said. "Still there are too many of us." Max said. "Unfortunately Sam Max is right" Zara said. "So what are we supposed to do leave everyone here to die!!" Sam yelled. "No ones going to die" Zara said. "But what if we don't find out who planted the bomb in ten days?" Sam asked. "We will be informing the other CHERUB's about the bomb three days but I wanted you three to get out and searching the other teams so the planter won't suspect we are trying anything" Zara said. "The planter must know we aren't going to take this lying down though" Max said. "That's true but the three teams mission controllers called in saying they would need an extra CHERUB to come in and make friends with their targets" Zara said. "So we got the perfect cover as long as the planter does not suspect we are searching for them as well." Sam said. "Exactly" Zara said. "So what are the three missions any way?" Max asked. "James and Kerry are investigating a terrorist threat, Lauren and Rat are investigating child soldiers and Kyle and Bruce are investigating a bomb threat." Zara said. "Right I'll take James and Kerry" Max said. "I got Lauren and Rat" Jason said. "And I got Kyle and Bruce" Sam said. "Great" Zara said "pack a months worth of clothes and be at the mini bus in 20 minutes." "Right" Max, Sam, and Jason said as they turned and left the room.

Bring, Bring "Zara is sending an agent to your team and the two other teams that left today." "It does not matter by the time they find out it will be to late."
