Jamie was sitting in Zara's office along with James and a woman he didn't recognise. Ellie had gone off to her lesson whilst Jake decided to lounge about in his room. Jamie and gotten changed and worn his mask in his casual style.
"Where to start" Zara said. "To begin with, you passed the first and last test with ease." This hadn't surprised him what's so ever. "The third test, you also passed"
This did cause Jamie to be surprised. "But I didn't kill the chicken?"
"Yes, however that wasn't the goal, we wanted to see how well you could act under pressure, you actually surprised us with attempting to bully James her into doing it for you" she let out a slight chuckle. "That's a first, it's never happened before."

"The second test was... Decent, your IQ level is fairly high from the results. However, you scored close to zero on maths, meaning that's something for you to work on, but apart from that, you ace'd the language tests and got 50% correct in science."
"My father made sure that I learned some languages, Science just... Feels like common sense to me but once it comes to those equations... I'm no good." Hearing this Zara smiled,
"That's good to know, now, adding all this up. You passed, congratulations and Welcome to CHERUB, you have three weeks until you begin basic training"
Jamie nodded, he was wondering what basic-training was but decided to leave it and ask later. "Now, you need to pick a name, forename and middle name are optional, however your surname must be changed, do you have anything you would like?" It didn't take long for Jamie to decide. "Jamie Ghost, no middle name"
Zara and the woman smiled, he guessed they knew why however James on the other hand. "Why Ghost?" He asked.
"How about you search up the Ghost of London, then you will understand." Spoke the woman,
"Come on Kerry, can't you just tell me? I've got enough on my plate with juggling between the training facilities and mission planning"
Kerry sighed "is it alright if I tell him?" Jamie merely nodded "the Ghost of London is a mass murderer. He also happens to be in this room". Jamie was amazed at how long it took James to connect the dots. "Your, kidding! This kid is.. Was a mass murderer!?"
"It wasn't exactly my choice, besides, I guess you now understand why I refused to kill the chicken?"

Zara decided to Interject before anything else could be said. "Here's your new shirt." She said handing him a Red shirt.
"I was told reds were for juniors?"
"Not quite, reds are for those who haven't completed basic yet." Jamie gave a visual 'ah' before Zara continued.
"Right then, we're off to the medical wing, it's time for the standard medical assessment".

It took a few minutes to reach the medical block and when they entered they were greeted by a doctor, "you must be Jamie Ghost, please come this way." The doctor led him into a room and attached many electrodes to his body before he was told to run for a while.

An hour later the physical tests were finished and it was approaching dinner time.
"Well, your in very good fitness so you won't have much to improve on, now is time for your Jabs" hearing the word 'Jab' caused Jamie to go as pale as a corpse.
"What's wrong?" The doctor asked. By this time he had picked up the first of many needles and Jamie had began to shake uncontrollably."I-I-I R-Really don't L-Like needles..." The doctor chilled and motioned towards a couple of nurses, they approached Jamie before dragging him into a seat and belting him in.
"Please, no, anything but needles!" He yelled.
"Don't worry, this will only hurt a lot"

A half hour later Jamie was walking out and toward the cafeteria. His arm ached and was practically un-movable. When he walked through the doors he was greeted by a barrage of noise. He grabbed a plate and filled it high with meat and mashed potato. It took him mere seconds to find Jake, he was sitting near the back and was quite possibly the loudest in the room.

Jamie walked over and as he got closer noticed the guy he robbed of a shirt. 'Lets hope he doesn't hold any grudges...' Sitting on the same table as Jake were five others. Two of them were girls whilst the rest were boys.
"Hey, is it alright if I sit with you?" Jake turned around and instantly grinned.
"Is this the guy who robbed mike of his shirt?" Spoke one of the boys.
"Yep, would you mind introducing yourself?" he was grinning like a hyena.
"Sure, I'm Jamie Ghost and I'm Mentally-unstable, it's nice to meet you" Jamie began to grin, awaiting their reaction. All those sitting on the table burst into laughter. "He's not kidding by the way" Jake was trying to stop laughing but failed miserably. "Mind if I make a point?" Jamie nodded in response. "Go and kill someone" Jamie's mid slipped a gear and his emotion disappeared.
He sat down to the table and began to eat. He felt everyone on the table staring and he slammed his cutlery on the table before looking up menacingly. "Okay that's enough, although it's gonna spoil your dinner." He held out a Rolo and upon seeing it Jamie's emotions returned to how he was before he got to the table.
Everyone appeared surprised but the first one to speak up was Ellie. "Why did you choose Ghost for your last name?" Jamie looked to Jake who shook his head.
"I just liked the sound of it" he replied. It's not one of the things you would tell people. Jamie looked to mike and spoke."I'm sorry about earlier". Mike was most definitely the tallest out of everyone and possibly the oldest. He had spiked up brown hair and light blue eyes.

He looked surprised "nah, don't worry about it, your the biggest news on campus, is it true you almost got James to kill the rabbit for you?"
Jamie nodded in reply, although it wasn't his original intention he enjoyed screwing with the guy.
Next to him was the boy who had originally asked about him. "I'm Alex, it nice to meet'cha", Alex was also well built and wore a grey shirt similar to Jake.
"So you doing Basic-training soon?" Asked one of the girls, in she was beautiful with golden blonde hair and hazel eyes, it was only when he compared her to Ellie when something clicked. "Are you two related?" The two girls grinned.
"Yep, identical twins, and by the way, I'm Ellie, not my sister here"
"Eh?" He replied, this was giving him a headache, he never was good with puzzles.
"We swapped roles for the day, well and names. My sister here was the one you sparred against, she's still a red shirt as you can tell and you'll be doing basic with her"
"W-what? I lost you at swapped roles... But wait" he looked to jake "why didn't you point that out?" Jake was practically pissing himself.
"I told them you were coming,they told me they would swap places as kate; that's the one you were sparing with, wanted to find out if you were any good, considering she may be partnered with you"
"Okay... I think I understand" Jamie then pointed to the girl he originally believed to be Ellie. "So your actually Kate, right?" She nodded.
"Sorry for tricking you" she replied meekly.
"Okay... But, if your twins then now come only one of you is a qualified agent?"
"Kate had to leave basic because of medical reasons" Ellie explained, although he wasn't looking at her he noticed Kate was looking down at her arm that was covered by the long sleeves of her shirt, he thought about asking but decided against it, he also happened to remember that his belongings hadn't been returned. "I need to get my stuff" he said. Jamie stood from his seat and took his tray back, he was on his way out when he felt tap on the shoulder.

He turned to see Jake. "You going to get your knives?" Jamie didn't want many people to hear and merely nodded. "Come on then, let's go and get them" he said, jake led Jamie through the hallways in silence until he spoke. "Thanks for not telling them..." Jake merely turned a head and smiled. "That's something you should tell them, only if you feel you can."

They finally reached a room that Jamie had guessed was the armoury. Jake led him to a desk, behind the desk were a large man who was sitting in a chair reading a book, he looked up when he heard the footsteps of the two young boys.
"You must be Ghost. I've put your knives in a locker and added the basic kit that you may like to look at, have you got your schedule yet?"
"I'm supposed to have a schedule?" The man didn't exactly look surprised.
"Well, just to let you know you have hand to hand combat and weapon training in the range and training rooms with me"
"Is that replacing his karate?"
"Well yes, he never told you he's a 3rd dan in karate did he"jake turned to Jamie with wide eyes. "Seriously?"
"Yeah... I could have gone higher but... I couldn't be bothered to go through with the tests..."

The man chucked "come with me, I'll show you to your locker" the man exited through a door behind the desk "this way" they followed him until they reached a row of lockers, he stopped at number 83. "This is your locker, you can put all your weapons and other gear in here, it's one of the reasons your Ghost jacket was taken from you, we've reinforced it with bulletproof layers so whenever your going into a dangerous area, take it with you, same thing with those trousers in there."
"Could I try them on?" Jamie asked, he was itching to wear his old Ghost outfit Even if he disliked the killing, he loved how badass his appearance was.
"Of course, there's some changing rooms over there" he grabbed his new clothing and ran to the changing room, a couple of minutes later the Ghost emerged. He had his hood up and the mask covering his face. "I really need to find some gloves" he said, his voice was much deeper and sounded nothing like his own. "No wonder nobody thought you weren't an eleven year-old" the man stifled a grin in approval.
"That is awesome!" Jake yelled. " so why do people call you ghost when you've got a skull mask?"
Jamie turned his body revealing the Ghost that covered the back of his jacket.
"Oh..."

"As you have nothing to do for the rest of the day how about you try out some of the guns?" Jamie already Knew he would love his new life.
