TROUBLE

Kerry and Bruce had little time to shower and get into clean uniform before being summoned to the Chairwoman's office. When they saw each other, Kerry was surprised on Bruce's appearance. He had combed his hair! Kerry smiled at him as he came over to kiss her on the cheek.

"Norris, Chang, Mrs Asker will see you know" barked Zara's secretary, as the colours of both of their faces drained. They grasped each other's hand and stepped into Zara's office.

"You have no idea on how disappointed I am with you two. You...it's indescribable how mad I am. But I can promise you two something, there is going to be a very long, hard, and upsetting punishment coming your way."

"What...what have we done miss?" Kerry asked, holding back tears. Bruce gripped her hand a tiny bit tighter,

"You two injured a very experienced agent, leaving him un-conscious on a cold floor, leaving a tracer by him so the staff could find him. He could have died or been seriously injured, why didn't you stand by him. And Bruce, I thought he was one of your best friends!" Zara exclaimed.

"How did you know it was us?" Bruce whimpered. Zara pulled Bruce's tracer out from behind her desk. She handed it to Bruce and pointed to a serial number.

"This was last checked out under the name Bruce Norris that is how we know." Zara said, smiling evilly at him. Bruce stayed silent.

"But why have I been pulled up, miss?" Kerry asked, obviously annoyed that their wasn't evidence to prove she was with Bruce.

"Look at this then" Zara pointed to a screen on the desk and it showed Kerry firing at James, whilst he was on the wall, and the whole scene was played back. Kerry looked dumbstruck as the tape finished.

"Now, punishments. Ok 300 Punishment laps and you have to help out the Red Shirts for 3 months. Now get the hell out of my office before I up the punishment!" Zara shouted, as the pair scurried out of the office. She looked angry. Bruce separated from Kerry and went to his room. He sat on his bed and picked up a martial arts magazine and lied back, opening the magazine to the Bruce Lee major offer page. He was about to turn the page when his phone rang.

"Okay, you owe me a seventeenth birthday present, so I'm going to get you to help me with an evil plan, get to my room, in five minutes, or else " James said quite fast, laughing slightly into the handset.

"You better not get me into anymore trouble." But James had already hung up. Bruce huffed and pulled on a jacket and exited his room. He jogged down to the stairs and bounded down them, two steps at a time. When he got to the floor beneath he saw James waiting outside his door with a pot of coleslaw and a tub or mustard. As Bruce got closer, James smiled and handed Bruce the pot of coleslaw.

"What, the, hell. What are we using this for?" Bruce asked



"We are getting Lauren back, for all those years of torment, she is in her room, we are going to barge in and bombard her." James exclaimed, rather excitedly.

"Dude, she is fifteen, and she hasn't bothered you for a whole year."

"Yeah, but know it is my turn" And James walked down the corridor to Lauren's room. He stopped and grasped the door knob and turned it silently and opened the door, before signalling to Bruce to go. He swung the door open and burst in on the most horrible site an older brother could ever have the misfortune to see. James had barge in on Rat and Lauren having Sex. He saw Lauren completely Naked, astride Rat. James screamed and ran out of the room, and puked outside Kerry's door. Lauren burst out of her room with a dressing gown on, with Rat coming out with only his Boxers on. Things seemed to get worst as Ewart strode down the Corridor. James, Lauren, Rat and Bruce knew the punishment for under-age sex. Immediate Exclusion. James thought quickly and staggered over to Ewart, giving Rat and Lauren time to get things right.

"Ewart, help me to my room, I'm gonna hurl again." James got up and lent on Ewart's shoulder, and moved his hand to side to side to tell Rat to get to his room. Rat ran over to his door and barged in, slamming the door shut as James threw up again. James carried on to the stairs whilst Ewart phoned for the Cleaners to clean up James' puke. James got to his room and grabbed his phone and dialled in Kerry's phone number. 132671-42668 (Which stood for CHERUB-KERRY) and waited for Kerry to answer.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Kerry, Go outside, there is a suprise for you." James hung up and started laughing. A couple of minutes passed before James' phone rang again.

"Hahahaha, Kerry I got you so bad!" James giggled.

"What did you do to Kerry?" Came Lauren's stern voice instead of Kerry's. James felt faint as he replied.

"Oh, don't worry."

"Er, James, about what you saw..." James relived what he saw. Laurens boobs hanging out with her giggling. James shuddered. "You must understand me and Rat love each other. I'm sorry you had to see that."

"If you two had been caught by a member of staff we wouldn't be having this conversation and your arse would be out. Now let's never talk of this again." James hung up the phone and went to puke again.

Bruce had got back to his room by the time Lauren had finished her phone call to James. He was stunned and quite thoughtful. He had never realised how good Lauren looked, and she was quite sexy.



"No!" Bruce shouted. Lauren was his best mates sister and two years younger than him. He pushed the thought to the back of his mind and put one of his Bruce Lee films on to his dvd player and lay down on his bed, watching as Bruce fought off enemies with nun-chukas. Within half an hour Bruce was fast asleep.

Lauren was so embarrassed about the whole incident and decided to talk to James at dinner, but James had already said he didn't want to talk about it ever again, so Lauren decided to go on with life. She dressed in her uniform and went down to dinner. She got to her usual table and saw James. He went over and gave her a hug, then went back over to his own table, with Shak yet again telling one of his god awful jokes. Lauren smiled as she went to get her dinner.
