The Mission

James knocked on the door in the mission control room; he heard Meryl's voice beckoning him to come in. As James walked in, he saw Kerry sat down in a chair, their eyes both looked at each other as he walked past, but their was only a brief 'hi' between them. He took a chair and looked towards Meryl who started to explain the mission.

'Good morning James, I see you are onboard for this mission'

'Yeah,' he said

'Very good, this mission, if you choose to accept it is classified high risk and any agent who wants to withdraw is free to do so,' she explained whilst passing the documents over detailing the mission.

Classified as High Risk

The mission

The mission is taking place in St Petersburg in Russia, where reports have come in of a national disturbance in certain areas of the city. The problem may be linked to gang warfare, which had been ripe in the city before but something has sparked the gangs and cause mass riots of these gangs in parts of the city. Crime has reached an all time high for the people living there and we seemed to have no further detail on what could have caused this, but suspects have been made by the police headquarters in the city. One of the suspects is wealthy man called Vladimir Gregorvitch.

Vladimir Gregorvitch

Vladimir is widely known in St Petersburg as the wealthiest man living there, born in 1958; his fortune comes from past ancestors who were once connected to royal family, before communism took over Russia. His family since then have kept their fortune by manufacturing cars, which rose in demand around the early 90s. Today his business sells thousands of cars to all over the world and now sells many sport and racing cars as well as motorbikes.

The Connection

Vladimir's connection to the sudden outburst of Gang warfare goes around his purchase of land in the city where construction is already underway. But there has been no confirmation of what he is building and huge walls now surround the perimeter of the construction site. We believe that he used the gang warfare as a distraction for his own form of terrorism. If he were to be building a missile base, then he could target the lands of America and possibly provoke a nuclear war.

Cherub's Role

Cherub has decided to send in two agents into the city St Petersburg and find out what has caused the up roar of gang warfare and what Vladimir is building in the process. The two agents will use their espionage and stealth skills to get into the construction site and will also go undercover and find out what is happening with the rival gangs. Once both objectives have been accomplished, the Cherub agents will be transported out of the city and MI5 will finish off the job of disposing Vladimir. Both objectives are critical for the whole mission to succeed, for the well being of the people of St Petersburg, But also the safety of the world as we know it.

After reading the briefing James slid the document back to Zara, so did Kerry shortly after.

'Transportation will arrive in a week, for your trip to Russia said Zara as she filed away the documents.

James and Kerry both left the room together and were unsure on what to say to each other, after the incident they had together. It was unsure if either of them would make a move, Kerry was still unsure whether to take him back after his break up with Dana. Since she would just be the girl he'd fall back on, but at the same time he still harboured feelings for her even when together with Dana.

'So Kerry, this Friday they're having this Christmas disco, in town and I was wandering if you would like to come with me to it,' He said saying in a sort of muttering way, but still loud enough for her to hear it.

Kerry seemed taken aback; since she was still with Bruce and was ready to say no when she thought how Bruce didn't really like discos and that it would probably be fun. Even if she was going with James, she would make sure he didn't take things too far.

'Sure,' she said 'It might be fun just us two going, you come around my room at seven tonight.

As Kerry walked off, James punched the air, he finally had a chance to be with Kerry again, but he had to make sure he kept quite about it though. Or Bruce would have a field day on wooping his ass.

James went back to his room for a play on the PS3 before getting ready for the disco, after playing for a while Callum and Connor came in and started playing with him as well. After an hour of playing and 15 minutes later he finally got them to leave his room, so he could get ready without them suspecting anything. He sprayed on some deodorant which gave a nice aroma. Before slipping on his arsenal T-shirt and tracksuit along with his trainers. Although it looked like he was going for a day out, everything he wore was brand new from the shops and thought it look good enough for the disco.

He went to Kerry's room at 7 o'clock and knocked on the door, Kerry went to open it and to James she looked absolutely beautiful. She was wearing a blue short sleeve tunic top, a white ruffled mini skirt and white pump shoes to match. She quickly shut the door and went along with James to the disco.

'Wow Kerry, you look astounding,' he said

'Thanks James, you don't look too bad yourself,' she giggled Kerry felt like they were on a proper date, but she needed to get that out of her mind. They were just friends she kept telling herself.

'So why did you ask me out tonight?' Kerry asked already wondering how James was going to reply.

'Kerry I may still have feelings for you,' he said slowly picking his words 'but tonight I just want to have fun with a good friend,'

'Likewise James,' she said forgetting all about Bruce as the two of them started to flirt with each other and casually speak as well.

'Does Bruce know your going out tonight?' James asked

'No he doesn't, I didn't want him to get all psycho on us just going out as friends,'

James smiled at the thought of Bruce getting verbally lary at him, and then reached for Kerry's hand as they walked into the disco. Kerry began to blush as they walked into the disco, they both went into the middle of the disco where everyone was enjoying themselves and dancing along to the music being played. Both Kerry and James danced with some of the people their but ended up dancing with each other especially slow dancing with each other when the romance songs started playing.

After about two hours at the disco enjoying themselves, Kerry and James, left the disco and started the walk home. They held each others hands as they walk back looking at each other ominously into each others eyes. It seemed to Kerry that this had been date and she just had the best time of her life and was now started to really like James again. James on the other hand did not expect things to turn this way and was shocked that they were actually flirting and dancing with each other at the disco.

James wondered what might happen when they got back on Campus, would they kiss and make up, have a fight, or would Bruce come along and find out what they had been doing all evening. James was about to find out as they entered the dormitory section of campus.
