Let's put this into perspective, they're both spies, they're both awesome kick-ass characters and they both would totally hit it off if they met! Trying out crossovers for a change hope this story develops into something interesting3 Major apologies for out of character personalities :s and for the boring start to the story…Cammie hasn't met Zach yet so Alex is the first guy spy she's seen…please leave comments!
Alex's POV:
"Now take the appropriate amount of hydrochloric acid and pour slowly into the test tube. Stir gently and observe." Ring! Ring! "Whose cell-phone is that? We are in class! Put it off immediately or I'll have it confiscated." Forcing down the laughter that was trying very hard to escape, I silently wished my mobile to be silent. Never again would I put it on vibrate... Ring! Ring! Oh Gawd! STOP VIBRATING! I reached for the phone to see who could possibly be calling and managed to get a glimpse of the caller ID before having the phone disappear momentarily from my sight…which was quite difficult. "Alex! Did I not tell you to put that dreadful thing away? You may have it after the remainder of the lesson is over." Shocked at losing the phone so easily I tuned out, my reaction time was hideously sloppy. "Alex? Alex! Are you listening? What has come over you today? You aren't ill I hope?" RING! RING! The ringing of the phone jolted me back to reality. I had to get the phone back !
"Yes…quite ill actually. I think I may need to take the rest of the day off." Eyes followed me out the room, all faces shocked and gaping in disbelief. I allowed a small smile come over me as I quietly slipped the phone back into its rightful place, my pocket. Yes I had to do a training session all over again, but my skill was certainly not lost. Now to see what HQ wants…
Cammie's POV:
"Cammie! Earth to Cammie? Hey!" Jolted back into reality I swivelled in the chair I was in to face Bex and Liz.
"Wow! When did you guys get back?" Bex put her gorgeously tanned hand to her head and groaned…guess Saudi was having a heat stroke on the holidays. How I missed my friends.
"Oh Cammie where's your brain today." I got up from the chair to hug my friends and gently smack Bex in the head…honestly wasn't a girl allowed to daydream once in a while?
"Guess what I heard! We're going on an out of school mission today. A mission on the first day back…can you believe it? If I had known this was going to happen I might have studied my butt off two years ago and skipped some grades!" I laughed and Liz and I both agreed that, that was a feat a little too big for our lovable Bex, producing a little pout on our friend's lips. "Yeah I suppose not huh…" Not that she wasn't smart or anything…oh no everyone at this academy was some form of a genius. Liz for instance could hack into a Swiss bank account at the age of eight with no hassles. Bex is one of the strongest and most athletic fighters giving her more bonus points than actual detentions. I am the girl who can't be seen unless I wanted to be seen, which in our school was cool. Which brings me to my next point, our school isn't normal. Sure it looks like a regular snobby rich, school for girls but in reality? It's a school for talented young girls who follow in Gilligan Gallagher's ways. You might be wondering who Gilligan Gallagher is and frankly If I told anyone I'd have to kill them, so I guess you can guess what we are from that corny line. I'll give you a hint, think James Bond or Jason Bourne…then turn back the hands of time and make them girls. That's what we are, spies.
"Cammie do you know what the mission is? I'd like to have more time to think up gadgets to send off with you two." Both girls looked at me intently but I had to disappoint them and say I didn't. Being the headmaster's daughter doesn't really give you too many perks when it comes to knowing missions beforehand. I mean, I didn't even know about the mission until Bex told me! And yes, my mother is the headmaster of this amazing faculty and no I do NOT secretly hack into all the classified files she keeps locked in that room…believe me, I've tried and failed.
"No idea guys…but I guess we'll find out soon enough right? In the meantime, I personally am STARVING and I hear Chef's making waffles." All three of us grinned and rushed towards the dining hall.
"Hey has anyone heard from Macey?" The stuffing of waffles down our throats paused for a moment when Liz asked the question we were all wondering.
"She said she'd be here, just that she'd be a little late." We looked at each other worriedly…she had to come. Macey is the daughter of a pretty famous politician, yeah' McHenry', which means staying at out academy is a little tough with all the security guards that her parents absolutely require. What her parents don't know of course is that Gallagher Academy is probably one of the most secure places in the world.
"Cameron Morgan, Rebecca Baxter and Elizabeth Sutton please report to the headmaster's office immediately." Three eyebrows lifted and soon after the door to my mother's office was opened four lips widened.
"MACEY!" Forgetting about protocol and the fact that we may have acted childishly in front of a very important senator Liz and I tackled Macey with severe hugs. Only Bex stayed back acting as the calm and collected one of the group.
"Senator McHenry, an honour to meet you once again sir." Ah the prep girl act, only Bex could really pull that off…well maybe Macey. Her comment however sobered all three of us into a more polite stance. Our girl was back though and I refused to supress the smile on my face.
"Well then if you girls are done trampling our daughter, we'll be off." Macey's smile turned dark before snapping at her father's remark with a farewell of her own.
"Goodbye father, mother." They didn't reply but simply walked out the door back into the 'normal' world. "Well thank Gawd they're gone, so what's this I hear about a mission?" I blanched, absolutely horrified that I was obviously the last to know about this 'amazing' mission.
"Does everyone know about it except for me?" A conspiracy was set as each girl smiled mischievously at each other.
"Actually Cammie, even I don't know what the girls are talking about. There is no out of school mission." It was the others turn to look up in surprise.
"But dad said that-"
"Oh you have a mission all right, but not outside." And with a wink, she bid us goodbye.
Alex's POV:
"I'm sorry, you want me to WHAT?" A very gaunt man sat in a discreet looking van just outside of a large construction centre, alongside a professional looking woman.
"Really Alex, when you said to inform you before we made one on one contact we'd really hoped you to be more…accepting." I looked at Mrs. Jones knowing full well that she was going to play the 'diplomatic' card, raising an eyebrow I pondered over who I'd hear from next the unfeeling or more of the 'you said I said' discussion.
"Frankly this is more of a two on one situation where I know even if I decide not to go through with this mission I'll end up stuck in every inch of it." 's eyes glinted but for a moment, which was probably as close as the man had gotten in the art of smiling his entire life.
"Good show Alex, now we shant have to waste time on this mindless argument anymore. Now you'd be given a new identity but seeing as where you're heading it really wouldn't matter." At his last comment I looked up bewildered.
"Why wouldn't it matter? I thought I was infiltrating just another school." The man scoffed at what he thought was an incredibly unintelligent comment.
"Just another school he says. Alex the students at this school could have a healthy adult male pinned to the wall in less than three seconds. After contemplating whether or not they want to kill him yet." This had to be a joke! There was no way there could be a whole school of…spies?
"So what you're saying is-"
"What is trying to say Alex is that you need to be very careful as this is NOT an average 'just another' school. The female students have all been trained extensively and will not be an easy opponent. If the situation turns sour you'll need to inform us so we can get you of there." Funny…I could have sworn she said.
"Female students? As in…"
"Well it's the Gallagher Academy Alex, Gilligan Gallagher founded the school for an all-female and American body." Suddenly the mission became so much more terrifying. Girls…American girls…oh Gawd I'll have to fight myself in order not to push the panic button.
"If this is an all-girls' American school then don't you think they would be surprised if a fourteen year old, English boy came waltzing into their midst? And I'm not bloody well going in like a transvestite." A small smile played on Mrs. Jones lips before reproving me for my language.
"You learn all you can about the layout and history, and we'll do the rest. " Rolling my eyes I lean back casually waiting for the rest of the debriefing.
"Your mission is to infiltrate the school in search of clues on whether the CIA are planning an attack on MI6."
"Why would you think the CIA are planning an attack on MI6? I thought we were working for the same cause? And why use girls if they want it to succeed?"
"We don't trust them and when have Americans and the English EVER worked together with mutual respect?" I motioned for him to continue in some form logical reasoning…but I was to be disappointed. Mrs. Jones coughed for my attention and when I looked at her she had a firm pout placed in position.
"Alex I hope you don't think these girls won't be able to do any damage? It would not be wise to underestimate them." I shrugged not worried of their skills so much as their capabilities to drive me insane. I really do hope this mission ends soon…. "Oh and will be with you shortly to supply you with some necessities, in the meantime it'd be good for you to start reading these." I took the files and the thick pile of documents from the banes of my existence grudgingly before noticing a photo of a girl slip out.
"Who's Cameron Morgan?"
"The daughter of the headmistress, someone it'd be best to be close to yet wary of." I looked sceptically at the both of them wondering how this girl in the picture could possibly be of any trouble or help. Then again I'd been underestimated many times by enemies before their downfall occurred. I took another look at the picture, she was beautiful. With light, chocolaty brown hair and pretty eyes that looked to never be at rest at one colour. Her smile was what caught my attention it was casual but at the same time mysterious. She would definitely grow into a gorgeous woman. I think I'd really like to be close to this particular student. I smiled a little despite myself catching the attention of Mrs. Jones who tensed.
"Alex, be careful okay." I dropped the photo and closed the file before looking up hurriedly.
"Of course, straight into the lioness' den it is then."
Cammie's POV:
What does that mean! I hated surprises at this school they always set me at unease because I knew whatever it was I was most probably NOT going to like it. "Hey guys go on ahead okay; I'll be there in a second." Still in a daze my three friends nodded and walked toward the dining hall for the second time that morning. I slipped through one of the many secret passages that I'd discovered in the years I had been in these walls and crouched through the cobwebbed tunnels to go to a quiet spot where I could think for a while. The general state of the tunnels don't really change, there's the occasional spider here and there, I've never seen a snake before and I'm sure as hell that there has never been another human in these tunnels…not even my friends knew of this tunnel. The problem with tunnels is that it's pitch black and since the view of the interior sucks with the naked eye, you have to rely on touch and sound and I did. "Hello?" I reached out and heard someone scramble ahead of me towards the exit…they had night vision goggles…damn. I tried to follow them as quickly as possible in order to confront them and knew I'd be able to do just that in a matter of seconds. I grabbed their leg to keep them from escaping, quite childish considering I'd put in so much training for how to properly disable someone's movements but it seemed to take them by surprise and cause them to stumble which was really all I needed. "Who? What? Huh!" While a great cloud of black smoke erupted from the tunnel I and the escapee came from I stared at the other rebellious spirit. Except they were far more rebellious than I, I had never seen this person in my life which isn't hard considering our school is an all-girl's school and what sat before me was by no means a girl. In fact what sat before me was all-male. A shaggy blonde one with sparkling blue eyes and a cute boyish smile that I knew I'd had the pleasure of seeing only a couple of times before on another boy.
Alex's POV:
I'd decided to get to the school in advance in order to set up some bugs around the area. I'd stumbled across a fine looking tunnel when all of a sudden a loud noise came from ahead. I went forward to investigate and realised someone else had found the tunnel. I tried to inch away without their notice but after several rocks tumbled down I realised my best chance at escape was to run. A simple question was asked by the bearer of the voice, one I ignored…hey it was part of the job description! I raced through the tunnel hoping to get there before they did when they clamped down hard on my legs causing me to really take a diving into the floor, little did I know who the 'attacker' was. It was her! The beautiful brunette from the photo! She was covered in dust and something that looked suspiciously like coal but all the same it was her, sweet, dangerous her. Despite the fact that I'd been caught roaming through the tunnels I couldn't help but smile at her.
"Well hello there Gallagher Girl." She was a little freaked to say the least but soon became calm and even a little dangerous in her stance…she knew martial arts. I wonder if she was any good though. I scissor kicked her knowing she'd be able to dodge it…what I didn't know or expect was her to deflect and get in some of her own kicks. Oh…she was good. I like her….
"I don't know who you are but you sure picked the wrong place to get lost in." Before she could put to use her amazing training I pinned her to the floor with my knees, peering into her eyes from above her.
"I'm Alex, and I am not lost thankyou Cameron." She blushed at first but at the sound of her name she paled, fear raging in her eyes.
"Alex…tell me, are you part of the Cavan?" Who?
"If I was would you let me go?" Her eyes had remaining flecks of fear mixed in with anger and tears. In an instant I felt like killing whoever caused her to feel this way before realising it was me. "I'm sorry. I don't know what the Cavan is. I'm surprised though I thought Americans LIKED celebrating witches and vampires? Isn't that what your whole Halloween thing is about?" I knew I was blabbering but I was willing to do anything to make this girl stop crying. At first she looked at me like I was insane, then started to laugh, she has a nice laugh not quite tinkly but…natural.
"I realise you're protecting your bases but could you release me Alex?" Honestly? I didn't want to, I had her in a position it would take years to get her back into if I let go…great one day in America and I'm already thinking like their guys.
"What so you can hammer me again with your kicks? I don't think so." She smiled serenely and before I knew what was going on she'd gripped my midsection with her legs and using momentum as the force rolled over and swapped places with me. "You know I kind of feel vulnerable all of a sudden." I knew that later in life this chatting would get me killed but for the moment it was…good.
"Good, now I'll ask you again. Who are you?" Oh sure, I'll just go right ahead and tell a future CIA agent that I'm part of MI6...
"I already told you Cameron, my name is Alex."
"Why and how did you get here?"
"The tunnel? Out of curiosity and I expect I got in the same way you did." She tensed and I worried momentarily whether I'd be sent for torture…wouldn't be the first time.
"I meant the school, and you did not get in the same why I did because if you did you'd have to be within the walls already…and you couldn't have. Someone would have noticed." Her last comment was more to herself than to me and while she was temporarily distracted with trying to put events into a logical order I flipped her onto her back, once again taking the alpha position... Gawd dang it I HAVE to clean my mind out one of these days…how on earth did Jack survive the US?
"Actually I was invited here, by your mother in fact. I believe I'll be your new roomie." I smiled at her lowering my face near hers for some extra satisfaction, well I WAS meant to get close to her right? A tinge of pink alighted on her face to my utter delight.
Cammie's POV:
The boy who had initially taken my fancy, Alex had hit a nerve…why would my mother invite a schoolboy to our school and why didn't she set a code red in place for his arrival? Unless she didn't know he was here…but how couldn't she? The boy was a civilian right? I mean yeah a civilian with major fight but a normal person right? Wrong…I thought about the way he had known my name and that my mother was the headmistress, how he knew about the tunnels and how he could possibly get me on my back. I'm no fighter like Bex but like hell I'd be outdone by a normal boy…which is why he couldn't be, normal that is.
