Lauren was born Lauren Zoe Onions in Tufnell Park, London in September 1994, when her half-brother James was two years old. Lauren's mother was Gwen Choke, who ran the largest shop-lifting empire in North London.
Lauren and her boyfriend Rat, best friend Bethany, Bethany’s eleven-year-old brother Jake, Rat’s best friend Andy Lagan and two eleven-year-old CHERUB agents she barely knew called Ronan Walsh and Kevin Sumner are sent to test the security of a brand new Air Traffic Control Centre. When opened, the centre would be in charge of every airliner from the Midlands up to the Scottish highlands. They capture all the security guards and cause a lot of damage, but miss an Engineer who calls the RAF. The mission uncovered slack procedures, bad training and poor design at the facility.
