Maximum Security
In the opening stages of the book, Lauren is with her best friend Bethany Parker as they attempt to succeed in their last three days of Basic Training whilst in Alaska. To conclude her training, Lauren is forced to swim across a 50 metre river containing freezing water to acquire the grey T-shirts from Norman Large (chief training instructor) who obviously hasn't forgiven her for the previous incident involving the spade in Class A. Surprisingly, she succeeds and can now participate in missions.
Meanwhile, her elder brother James is offered a mission by John Jones (former MI5 agent and Cherub Mission Controller) involving travelling to Arizona to attempt to track down weapon dealer Jane Oxford. John informs James that he will need a female companion, not too old, whom he knows fairly well. James chooses Lauren the day she graduates from CHERUB training and along with Dave Moss (a very experienced CHERUB agent), they head to America. As Lauren showed a consistently strong performance throughout the mission, Mac (the principal/headmaster of CHERUB) awards Lauren a navy t-shirt. This means she is now on equal rank with James, who also earned his navy t-shirt on his first mission.
