Epilogue

The Mission

CALLUM and JOHN WILLIAMS pleaded guilty to a variety of crimes regarding motor vehicles. They were each sentenced to five years in prison. The judge justified the heavy sentence with the way they cynically exploited children to earn money. The prosecution of the Williams brothers and most of their associates hinged on the evidence found in the boot of their car, which was recovered by the police following its abandonment.

KEVIN HARRIMAN was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for handling and selling stolen goods as well as his part in the motor vehicle crime ring. GEORGIA HARRIMAN's mother, THERESA HARRIMAN, is too ill to look after her, so both Georgia and Theresa moved to live with Theresa's parents in North Yorkshire.

DAMIEN McADAMS pleaded guilty to theft and was given a three month suspended sentence. He was subsequently fired from his job at the garage in Croydon along with four other mechanics suspected to have been involved.

FRANK LYONS (A.K.A. LEE) pleaded not guilty to a range of crimes encompassing theft, extortion and fraud. He was found not guilty on all counts, but was convicted of possession of an offensive weapon and was sentenced to six months in prison.

OLIVER HERON (Ollie) and seven other youths between the ages of 10 and 15 were investigated with regard to motor vehicle offences, but none were charged.

The Cherubs

JULIAN RICHARDSON (Jules) resigned his post at MI6 following the mission and joined CHERUB as a full-time Mission Controller.

LUCY KURIAN failed to attend lessons the day after the party, and after her involvement in the fighting was revealed, faced expulsion from CHERUB. Eventually her punishment was reduced to a recruitment mission and five hundred laps. She is due to depart for her recruitment mission in Birmingham in the new year.

MICHAEL JAARSVELD broke up with Lucy after finding out about her cheating. He was highly praised for his performance on an emergency mission in the Philippines and subsequently on an extended recruitment mission in New Zealand. He was given one hundred hours cleaning duty for the party and its aftermath.

LETTICIA KATZ is still away on her mission in the United States. She is hopeful of being back within the next few months. Her senior mission controller, JOHN JONES, says she is doing well.

BEATRICE STONE was fined £50 and given one hundred laps for setting off a firework in a CHERUB-issue boot, which led to damage to the central fountain. JEMIMA SUZUKI was suspected of involvement but was not punished.

REX REYNOLDS was severely criticised for his role in the fighting. His mission performance was described as solid and at times, excellent, but he was assigned a recruitment mission in Oxfordshire and is expected to depart as soon as he is up-to-date with his schoolwork.

GEORGE KNIGHT is due to begin his tutoring in the Technical Department when lessons restart in January. He is looking forward to his eleventh birthday in January and is trying to stay out of trouble.
