4.Farewell

James ran up to the normal dinner table he sat at and jumped into the seat in between Bruce and Lauren. Bruce turned away from his Egg Sarnie and grinned wildly at James.

“I see Zara told you” Bruce said, still smiling.

“Yeah, she did and dude, the best ‘till last eh?” James laughed.

“Yeah man! It’s gonna be brill!” Bruce turned back to his Sarnie and began gulping it down. James ran up to the counter and chose from the cold left-overs. He decided on a croissant filled to the brim with jam. He smiled and turned around to land face to face with Dana.

“Nice of you to tell me” She huffed. James nearly dropped his food when he realised he had forgot to tell Dana, his girlfriend, that he was going away. Dana herself was finishing CHERUB in a month, and it was supposed to be a romantic month, with Dana promising James sex on her last night. Dana had been out of his head all morning and realised something. Tonight would be his last night with his Beloved Dana Smith. He may never see her again, but he highly doubted that. He bent in to kiss her.

“Shit, Dana, babes I’m so sorry. I did mean to tell you, but I hadn’t seen you yet.” James exclaimed. Dana looked as if she was going to cry. She grabbed him and whispered into his ear, tears streaming from her eyes.

“You do know tonight will be the last time we see each other for an extremely long time.” Dana whispered. James gulped, trying not to cry aswell. “Guess sex is tonight” Dana said, a bit of humour tinged in her voice. James giggled. He had not expected Dana to say that but he pulled her into a tight hug once again. James walked back over to the table where they normally sat, and was surprised the table was empty. Before long James had finished his breakfast and was walking away from the Dining room. He headed to the Mission Preparation building, to get the list of equipment needed for the missions. He didn’t suspect that he would need much, but he had been told to go, rather than invited, to the building.

James came to the entrance and looked straight into the Eye Scan. The Door chimed his name and opened the door. He walked into the building and immediately breathed in the soft, warm air which circulated around the building. He smiled, knowing that this may well be the last time he stepped foot in this building. This flooded back memories, but this was not the time. He pushed them away and climbed the stairs to John Jones office. He trotted down the main corridor and came to a door which announced a name

MR. JOHN JONES

CHERUB MISSION CONTROLLER

Mi5 DIVISION 1

James laughed at how the image portrayed a strong man with a head full of hair, but in reality John was bald, old and weak. He could still handle himself though. He stepped into the office to be welcomed by two familiar faces. One how ever was not familiar at all. The man had a moustache and dark curly hair. Green eyes and a bright, but yellow, smile reminded James straight away who he was. John Griggs. James’ mouth hung open before John Jones snapped him out of it.

“James, shut your bloody mouth, flies will fly in” John shouted, looking rather angry. James immediately shut his mouth and looked at John Jones with bewilderment. John shook his head and started the briefing.

“As you two fully well know about your mission, I would like you to meet the person you are going to live with for the next few months.” John pointed to Mr Griggs. “This is Mr Griggs, the man who is the cornerstone of this whole operation. Mr Griggs, this is James” John nodded at James, “And this is Bruce.” He nodded at Bruce. John Griggs smiled and got up out of his chair.

“Hello Lads, I’m normally known as Flux. Dunno why to be honest, but I have had it since school.” Flux Shook James and Bruce’s hands in turn and carried on. “Now, I live in Paris on the Champs D’Lycee. Its a very upper class place and the homeless normally hang around there. This obviously means I am very wealthy. So when I find you, I will obviously buy you clothes and everything. I am dead cert that you guys will get into the Lionnmane. I want you to be outside of the Cafe near The Arc de Triomphe. It is called the cafe de Arc de Triomphe or something like that. Meet me there at 2:30 local time. I will collect you and take you to my apartment, which is on top of the Cafe, and has a great view of the Arc. That’s all I can think of at the moment. So I guess I’ll be seeing you two soon.” Flux smiled and shook John’s hand, then left the room. John shut the door and turned to the lads.

“Now, I expect you to behave for Mr Griggs. Any funny business and your straight out of there and immediately expelled, which mean you can forget about our help in life. Understand?” John asked. James and Bruce nodded violently and scampered out of the room, quite solemnly. When they had finally got back to campus, they decided not to go back to last lesson, but to freshen up for dinner, and James knew he had a very, fun night ahead of him. He stepped back into the shower and drenched himself, and scrubbed all over.

Bruce had also planned to take a shower and get changed, but things had not gone quite to plan. After getting un changes he sat on his bed and turned on his Hi-Fi stereo. Just after he got in the shower he heard his phone ringing. He leapt out of the Shower and rushed to the Phone. The Caller ID was un-known. This could mean only one thing. It was him.

“Bruce, my man. Is Everything set?” The phone crackled, but he instantly knew the voice.

“Yeah, it is, meetin’ him on Friday outside a cafe. The one near the arc of triumph. Keep Cameras on it.”

“Excellent, you know the job?”

“Yeah, sure. Kill him.” The phone clicked and Bruce hung up. He dreaded it, but he needed to do it, and it would get him into powerful places. He shrugged and got back in the shower.

James had already had dinner and was in bed ready for Dana to come out from the Bathroom. She put on some seductive music and came out of the Bathroom. James was shocked on how beautiful Dana’s body was. The covers lifted up an inch and Dana smiled. She got into bed and got on James. James growled and smiled, then got into it.

James and Bruce were dressed and ready to go to Portsmouth. Everyone was at the entrance hugging and kissing, and John told them to get on the bus. They got on and Looked back. The Engine started and they drove past the High Security gates. Wondering if they will see eachother again.
