CHERUB CAMPUS: MAIN BUILDING 4TH FLOOR STAIR CASE

Lauren Adams was walking down to the car park she and most of the black and navy shirts were going on some train exercise on Alaska for a week. But that's not what was worrying her, she was worried about her best friend Bethany who had arrived back from her latest mission yesterday afternoon but there was something different about her she seemed much more withdrawn all Bethany had said was that her mission had gone bad and she had been pulled out because of some mistake she had made and no matter how hard she had tried to help her best friend she couldn't get her to open up, she had tried to take her mind off it but everything she thought of got shot down. All she knew was that whatever had happened had been real bad.

That's when she had spotted James coming up the stairs with what looked like a mission file in hand.

'Still smuggling mission files out after a briefing'

Then she had the thought that maybe James could help Bethany it was an unlikely event as they seemed to hate each other for some reason but if anyone could be sympathetic to a mission going wrong it was James especially after Russia the other month.

"Hey James still stealing mission briefings?"

"No I am meant to have this one. And I will explain why when you get back from you training exercise next week. Have fun, good luck and all that." He said as he gave her a hug.

"okay." She replied slowly slightly curious as to what he might mean. "Actually I need a favour."

"Okay shoot"

"Well Bethany had a mission go wrong so I was hoping you would talk to her about it I mean after Russia and all…" she trailed off.

James raised an eyebrow at her.

"Please James I know you two hate each other but she needs help and I don't know what to do any more."

James thought she looked almost as if she would beg if he said no and as fun as that might be he knew she had to get going and he had a mission to plan so he agrees that if he saw Bethany he would talk to her for Lauren.

It wasn't as long as he thought it would be but then again he was meant to be starting from scratch so it wasn't that much of a surprise.
