STORY OF JAMES BY:GAVIN LUI

Chapter 1: Average Joe (2 years ago) I am not an average 15 year old, I am not like you at all you just go to a normal school and have a normal day. I was like you once but I was kicked out of school,me and my brother David saw a bully beating up an innocent kid so we stopped him using force and the vice principal thought David was the bully,and that I beat him up. It was a classic example of misunderstanding. We tried to tell the Principal that the bully was beating the kid up but he didn't believe us.

We were going to be expelled, Dad was as mad as blazes, he screamed and yelled at us and demanded that we convince the school to take us back. The next day David and I were depressed and lost. There was no way that the Principal would take back a violent 15 year old and 16 year old. As we left the house we were approached by some mysterious men who had found out about our incident at school the day before.

They asked my brother and I to join them at their special school. This moment was a turning point in our lives we didn’t realise it at the time,but we had just been recruited to go to a spy school in New Hampshire, America.

Chapter 2: Mission Fail (One Year later) My latest mission was a complete failure,hopefully I would never do that again. I thought it was all my fault because I blew my cover,my instructor Takemitsu told me it was his fault because he came to my apartment that he rented for my mission. Takemitsu told me that my new mission was coming up in one month. I was so nervous that I almost fainted. I tried to keep my mind of the mission so decided to catch up on the ever growing mountain of homework. Two and a half months later my mission briefing slipped through my door...

Chapter 3: Mission Briefing ( Two and a half months later) CLASSIFIED Mission briefing for James.

Mission Partner:David Robbers:Leo,Sam (Leo’s son) Background information:Leo was considered a robber after a jewelry store got robbed. They lost four diamond necklaces and $3,000,000. Still not sure if Leo is the robber of this crime.

Plan:Your job is to spy on Leo and find out if it was him who robbed the jewelry store. If it was him send the details to your brother. Your brother will give you an earpiece that you are to wear at all time no matter what the cause is,you will not take it off unless he tells you to. Your brother will be giving you advice from a van,he will hear and see the things you do.

Chapter 4:New Mission(6 days later) The mission was about to start ,I was as scared as a mouse. When I first get to my apartment I found that David was already there. “How did you get here so early?”I asked. He replied in a mad voice “none of your business James”,making a mad face. “I suggest we get started David!” “Alright”. “Here is your earpiece keep it on at all times”,said David. “yeah yeah”,I said. “It said it on the mission briefing.” “Wait how can we find our targets?” “We’re going to drive to Leo’s house and wait for him to come out then we follow him, James you can manage that without stuffing up surely” “Yeah sure I mean it wouldn't be that hard right?” “It wouldn’t be that hard if you were a skilled driver at least” “Relax I know how to drive carefully. Better than you at least.” He gave me the angriest look ever. “Calm down” I said to him and I smirked.

Chapter 5(Present time) Today I decided to spy on Leo’s son,Sam. Because Leo never came out of the house all day. All Sam does is go to school and come back. Well thats what I thought until he met with leo after school.

“QUICK COME TO SAM’S SCHOOL LEO IS RIGHT HERE WITH A BAG OF BOMBS!” As I shouted into the earpiece.I started to panic. “Take him out now or he might have a bomb in the bag” as David’s heart started to pound out of his chest while he said it.

James started to panic,when he got out of the car,he panicked even more.

David just got there in time and took down Leo. I missed Sam and fell on the floor because I panicked and ran straight into a wall. Sam just escaped. I fell and hit the ground. I hurt my arm tremendously and screamed in pain. It felt like the time when David accidentally pushed me into a tree while he was playing with a frisbee.That hurt more than breaking an arm because I was little at the time and the tree had some spikes on the branches. David opened the bag, and as they expected they found a stack of explosives.”We did it James!” “Leo is the true robber of the bank”said David. I’m going to call Bob to verify and get some handcuffs on him. Bob sent in a team to take down Leo. As they stormed his hideout, Sam watched from a nearby house. He saw Leo get put into a truck and taken to jail.

Leo was forced to return all his money to the banks that he had stolen from. The police and Bob’s team could never track down Sam his son though and wondered what would happen to him without his father.

Sam sat cold and alone under a highway overpass. In the distance he could see a Bank beginning to close for the night.

What would happen to Sam ...would he do what Leo had done,or would he make the right choice?
