welp here it is, the final chapter of the non CHERUB chapters, the next one will be his test and you can find out a little more about him.
After leaving the care home Jamie ran through the streets taking the fastest routes possible. some of these included jumping walls or sliding down them, he reached a hidden bush in the corner of some park and changed into the signature outfit of the 'Ghost of London' he didn't despise the name and surprisingly liked it, it had a ring to it, only he would have liked it better if it didn't incite the fear of death in anyone who heard it, well almost everyone, only the psycho weren't scared.
He left nothing in the bag apart from his white hoodie before hiding it in a ditch in the ground and covered it with leaves. "Let's hope this goes to plan..." He whispered to no one in particular.
Jamie left the bushes and headed towards a densely populated area, everyone there was a member of a single gang, 'The Ghost's Disciples '. They were a gang that claimed to be under the control of Ghost however everyone knew they were run by the 'Reaper'.
He perched himself on a large rock and called out to them. The mask he wore had an inbuilt voice changer, it made his voice sound much deeper yet still sounded natural. "Which one of you shit heads murdered Edward Masons!" He yelled.
Although he hadn't noticed it yet the tracker that was placed on the mask also had a mic, it could also read the hear rate of the target and on the other end were five eavesdroppers. "He's got quite the vulgar mouth doesn't he" sighed Zara. "Or maybe he's acting that way to instil fear?"
"I'd put my money on the second one", a deep voice belonging to a man not much older than Kerry spoke. " trust me, when you're in a gang rule number one is to act intimidating and right now, he needs that more than ever yelling at 50 plus possible psycho. "
"And you know that how James?" Asked Kerry, she was sitting in one of the seats listening in on the boy, the three of them were sitting in Zara's office whilst Jake and Jennifer were in her room back at the care home.
"I had to infiltrate a biker gang, not to mention numerous violent gangs, Remember the Mad Dogs?"
"Ah, the mission where you got banged in a bathtub?" She replied, a mischievous grin spread across her face. James remained silent as he knew how Kerry got and he knew she was right.
"Could you two Finnish you lovers spat and listen in?"
Back at the gathering many of the gang members stared in disbelief. Most likely amazed or scared shitless over the fact that the ghost was right in front of them.
"Come on! Someone must know something!" It was quiet for several moments before one Spoke up "why do you care?" Jamie almost choked on his tongue but still managed to get a word out. "He had a dept that I was planning on collecting, now that he's dead, I'm not gonna get what I wanted will I, is that a good enough reason? " there were several murmurs, Jamie was running out of patience and spoke. "How about this. You kill them and bring me evidence in two weeks."
"What's in it for us?"
"Simple, you can keep your pathetic lives, everyone of you" a voice began to laugh and pushed through the crowds.
"Like hell you can do that"
"Jesus, do you want to die?"
"You may be the ghost, but you can't touch me. There's a reasons I'm known as the Reaper" Jamie 's patience had finally reached its limit.
He stood up in front of the reaper, his mind kicked into gear and all emotion disappeared. He proceeds to pull out his blade and spoke "let's see if you can back up that mouth of yours" the reaper lunged at Jamie, but he was too slow Jamie kicked his foot into the mans groin before slashing a deep cut against his chest. "Next time, it's going straight through your chest" he turned his body and walked away.
"He's a nasty little bugger ain't he, do we really need someone like him here, ruthless?"
"I wouldn't be so sure of that James, his entire body was trembling and he choked up on a couple of words." Spoke Jennifer. She motioned for Jake to head back to his room and wait for Jamie to return.
" I doubts he really wanted to do that. He's most likely only doing it for payback, did you notice how he told the gang members to kill for him?"
"So he gets people to do his dirty work for him."
"James, please keep in mind that we are talking about an eleven year old boy"
'That shut him up' Jennifer thought.
Back at the room jake was lying down on his bed trying to process what he just saw. He pulled out his phone and looked for a specific contact before sending them a message. "The new kids a monster... But he seems so damn fun" He smiled inwardly before hitting send. He ran through the many people he thought Jamie would get along with, then the people who Jamie would likely instantly hate.
He was still deep in thought and hadn't noticed Jamie had already returned. He looked deathly pale.
"Dude what's up!?" He rushed to his roommate side and helped him to his bed.
"don't worry, just a little shaken up is all..." He hadn't even finished his sentence before he fainted.
This new revelation made something instantly click and he rushed back to Jennifer's room. "You should see the state he's in! He's as pale as a corpse and suddenly fainted" Jennifer instantly shot up hearing this revelation. She was still speaking with Zara when this happened and hearing this, Zara had nodded, "alright bring him in" she said with a smile on her face.
Jake was happy as he was Finally going home, and with a new friend to boot.
