Chapter 4
Junan, Stephan and Jess clambered into the car, Junan and Stephan sat next to each other facing Jess. Stephan noticed someone sitting in the driver's seat, he had his hair tied back into a ponytail and Stephan saw he had an ear ring and was quite muscular. "Ewart, we're good to go." Zara said as she strapped herself in next to the driver. "Jess, these two are probably wondering what the hell is going on, if you would be so kind as to explain to them what we do."
"Yeah sure," Jess replied then she turned back to Stephan and Junan "Well, first things first, I'm not Jess Jones" Junan looked at Jess, kind of puzzled. "I'm called Jessica Downes, I'm part of a British intelligence organisation called CHERUB, which Zara here is chairwoman of. Basically, we're a load of kids trained with all kinds of martial arts skills. If you got in to a fight with us, you're screwed basically, also, we're all above average IQ, and we're taught to be quick thinking. It's pretty confusing, but you'll understand it all when we get to campus, but remember, it's a top secret organisation, only some members of parliament know about it. So you can't tell anyone about it, outside of campus okay?" The other two nodded in agreement. The rest of the car journey went on as if they were normal kids, talking about things they saw on T.V. and things they read. But everything came to a halt when they arrived at campus.
Stephan's jaw dropped when he saw the U-shaped building, the lake, the amazing football pitches, this is the kind of place he wanted to live. Junan was the same, but he managed to get two words out, these words were "Holy crap." But he was so out of breath you could hardly hear them.
"C'mon boys, this is just the outside," said Jess as she took Junan's hand. But Stephan's attention got totally distracted when he saw someone walk past, a girl.
"Who the hell is that? She's fit, seriously." Stephan said, he couldn't take his eyes off her for one second.
"That's Connie Davis, pretty clever, even by Cherub standards." Jess replied, then she added, "Oh yeah by the way, you'll be living opposite her here." Stephan's face just turned into a massive grin, you could tell what he was thinking. Something like I'm gonna get off with her.
"Where will I be living, do you know?" Junan asked.
"Oh yeah," Jess said as if she just remembered, "next to Stephan, opposite me. You guys will love the rooms, I'll give you a tour later if you want." Junan and Stephan both nodded and thanked Jess, then they turned to go grab their bags. "Oh no, leave them, one of the care takers is on his way over to bring them to your rooms." Stephan shrugged and walked follow Jess, but Junan ran after Jess and placed his hand in hers as they walked on to a large, newly decorated, modern looking building. They walked in and the receptionist lady, who was sitting at a lovely grand oak desk, she looked in her 50s and had her hair tied up into a bun.
"Hey Jess, these the new recruits then?" The secretary said kindly.
"Yeah," she gestured at Stephan, "this is Stephan and this is Junan."
"Hey Junan, Hey Stephan" The secretary said warmingly.
"Yo."
"'Sup"
Then everyone said Bye to the secretary and she replied with the same word, and the three headed to the lift. They arrived at floor twenty-two and they walked out into a beautifully painted corridor. Decorated with very uncommon patterns. Just then Junan nudged Stephan, "Yo Steph, mate, there's your chick," He laughed. But Stephan just walked right over to Connie and they started talking, then Connie grabbed his hand and they walked into her room. Junan and Jess both laughed quite hard. "He doesn't even know her, crap, he's way too confident. But he can do it, I'll give him that." Junan smiled. Then Jess and him carried onto to his room. When he got inside his mouth formed an "o". It was huge, and he had the biggest en suite bathroom he'd ever seen. A really nice beige shower and marble bathtub. Then he walked back into his room, and he had a double bed, which had on it a nice thick duvet and white plumped up pillows. His bedroom was an L-shape with a bathroom coming out of the corner, then he walked around and he had a medium sized oak desk, with a computer on it and he also had an envelope on there, so he walked over to it, and opened it, inside was a letter and a mobile phone. Inside was a letter that said Welcome to Cherub Junan Jacobs, please accept out gift of a new mobile phone, if you could please place your old phone in this envelope and get your guide to escort you too the chairwoman's office as soon as possible please. "That can wait," Junan grinned as placed his new phone back on the desk and him and Jess just lay on his bed, snogging.
