Thanks for the reviews Dessimated Dreamer and Crash923.
Dessimated Dreamer- I'm not sure how long each chapter is going to be, but they will definitely be longer than the first one, that was just an introduction really. This chapter is not very long either, but from the next chapter onwards they should get much longer. I like the idea of doing previews, so depending on how much time I have I might do them.
10 year old Lucy O'neal strided down the hall way, to her room in her grey shirt. She was proud to wear it. Lucy had only qualified for missions 3 days ago when she completed basic training. Lucy opened the door to her new room in the main block.
Before basic training she shared a room with her best friend Suzie in the junior block. Lucy much preferred her new room, it had a large double bed, to the left of which stood a bed-side table with a lamp and alarm clock sitting on top. To the right of her room there was a desk with a high-tech laptop, a cordless phone, and a desk lamp. A door stood near to her desk which led into a large en-suite bathroom. There was a luxurious Jacuzzi bath, a shower, a sink and a large mirror on top of a dresser and a large wardrobe. But the favourite part of Lucy's room was the TV that sat on top of her chest of drawers opposite her bed.
Lucy sat down at her desk and flipped open her laptop. It showed 2 new emails, the first of which had come through a highly secure network.
Hi Lucy!
We just got back from our mission in South America. Congratulations on passing basic training! You have made us very proud! We are very jet-lagged, we haven't slept much this past week, but we'll try to come and visit you soon!
Love Mum and Dad xxxx
The second email read:
Hi Lucy,
Please come to the mission preparation building ASAP! I have a mission due to start next week and wanted to see if your interested.
From Ewart Asker.
Lucy's heart skipped a beat, wow she thought, her first mission briefing! She looked to see when the email had been sent, only 10 minutes ago. She quickly typed a reply saying she was on her way and then headed for the mission prep building.
She found Ewart Asker's office and knocked.
"Come in!" Ewart's voice commanded. Lucy entered the room.
"Hi Lucy, I'm Ewart." Ewart said. "And providing you decide to accept the mission then I will also be your Dad. It's just a small mission, but you always get easy ones for your first. Anyway here is your mission briefing."
Highly Classified Mission Briefing for Lucy O'neal and Jim Morrisson
The document is electronically tagged and any attempt
To remove it from the mission prep building will set off an alarm.
BACKGROUND
Leo Holmes is a well known weapon dealer, who specializes in guns, has been known to MI5 for the past 11 years. He has always covered his tracks perfectly and not enough evidence has ever been found to put him in prison. He currently lives in a very rich and exclusive part of Cray Park (I made up the name by the way) with his two children Melissa (age 10) and Lewis (age 14).
Leo works from home, dealing guns, but no trace of anyone who works from him has ever been found, neither has his method of transport. His business is rapidly expanding and MI5 need to find the source, method of transportation and who the employees are before they can raid his home, hoping for arrests.
THE ROLE OF CHERUB
Lucy will befriend Melissa, in the hope to snoop around the house planting bugs in every room and trying to gather information.
Jim will befriend Lewis, whose 15th birthday is coming up. Jim's main target is to convince Lewis to have a large house party with alcohol, this way Jim can snoop around the house acting drunk trying to find documents concerning Leo's business.
Ewart Asker will be acting as the Father of Lucy and Jim.
The CHERUB ethics committee accepted this mission without reservation and rated this mission as LOW RISK.
"I'm up for it" Lucy said.
"You sure?" Ewart aksed.
"Definitely." Lucy was excited. 3 days out of basic training and she had already been to her first mission briefing.
