I approached the mirror to the entrance of the Subs with Bex, but we stopped when we saw the note on the door that read: Meet in the Grand Hall at 1330 hours. Wear normal clothes. -Mr. S. We turned to each other smiled. This could only mean one thing, COVE OPS FEILD TRIP!
When we got to the door I could already hear the chatter of the girls trying to decide whether Tina's ideas on what we were going to do were actually true. Her sources are 50/50, so it's kinda hard to know, but most end up believing her anyways.
Bex and I walked over and sat next to Macey, who looked bored on the outside, but on the inside, she was as excited as the rest of us.
"So guys, how 'bout some Truths?" We had come up with this game called Truths. It's basically guessing true or false on her rumors. I know it's simple and kind of lame, but it takes our minds off of the assignments and other spy troubles.(a/n No, Tina is not disliked by them, they just play that game for fun. Tina is actually liked by them.)
"Well we have that we are going to go to D.C. to tail some boy spies, which goes with her idea that there is a school for boy spies. Or that we are going to have to get back Gilly's sword form a group of a rogue spies, which can't possibly be true because I walked by the sword on the way over here. Or that we are going to go to a school for normals and have to fit in. And finally, that you, Cammie, know what we are doing," replied Macey while ticking them off of her fingers.
"I think that it is False, True, False, False, and lastly, False because you would have told us if you knew something," Bex stated matter of factually.
I agreed with them, mostly, "Okay, so I get the rouge spies because she obviously didn't see the sword in its case, the normals because we would have had been informed earlier, and most importantly, why do people always think I'm in the loop? There is most likely a school for boy spies because how else would all of the male spies be there today if there wasn't one, but would it really be that impractical if we tailed boys. That does sound like a Solomon kind of assignment, doesn't it?"
This seemed to make the girls think a little. "I guess you're right Cam, so we have everything clear, except the tails. Let's say true then?" suggested Macey. We all nodded in approval. And we heard the doors open and saw Mr. Solomon walking up to the podium and adjust the mike to fit his height better.
"I need all of you girls to go up onto the roof, grab a blindfold, enter a helicopter, put the blindfolds on, and wait silently. We are going on a little field trip ladies," he walked away leaving a group of dumbfounded girls behind.
Bex got up and Macey and I followed suit and walked towards the exit to get into some helicopters. Soon we were being followed by the rest of the sophomore class in Cove Ops to the roof of Gallagher.
We sat in a helicopter and after 2 painful hours of waiting in silence(and darkness) until we were instructed to take off our blindfolds. I opened my eyes and saw a flash of blinding red before my eyes adjusted to the light.
Once we were all off, the helicopter flew away silently. I saw a bunch of girls trying desperately to fix their hair that was recently attacked by the wind of the helicopter's blades. I sadly, was one of them. Next to me, Bex and Macey are standing there with smirks on. How the hell did they get off without a single hair out of place?!
There was a van waiting for us and we all got in. For the second time within minutes my eyes were trying to allow me to see in the new environment. It was completely black, and the windows were impossible to see through. I sighed knowing that I would never know where we were going until we got there.
There was a jolt as the van came to a stop. The door opened to the sound laughter and footsteps hitting pavement and worst of all, Macey's face lit up at the sight of the one place I hate being at. The Mall. Yay, surprise surprise!
"Okay girls, you are going to be tailing some spies. They are boys and they are good, very good. Cove Ops: here's your folders, you will be tailing the boys described inside. Your goal, to make the boys late to their destination or not to show up at all. The boys have to be there at 1700 hours exactly. Good luck, you're going to need it," he handed us our folders and left us calling over his shoulder, "15 minutes to plan. Your time starts now!"
I opened my folder and quickly scanned over all of the information.
Name: Zachary Goode
Hair: dark brown
Eyes: green
Height: 6'2
Code name: Matrix
There was surprisingly, no picture of the subject but Macey insisted that he was going to be really hot. I trusted her because, well she is the boy expert.
I switched with Bex.
Name: Grant Newman
Hair: dirty blond
Eyes: blue
Height: 6'3
Code name: Blade
I finally, read Macey's.
Name: Blake Young
Hair: light/dark brown
Eyes: brown
Height: 5'11"
Code name: Skywalker
"Are you fucking kidding me? A fucking Star Wars fan? What the hell! Solomon how dare you! You mother fucking dipshit!" Macey screeched after she read her folder. Girls around us snickered as they walked by seeing Macey McHenry throwing one of her infamous hissy fits. She just shut them up by glaring at them though. I just reminded her that this is a mission not a time to grovel at boys.
Soon the minutes were gone and I was off with Bex and Macey to find some boys. When we passed by a group of guys, they all melted over Macey, so being the senator's daughter(and maintaining her cover) she went to go talk to them.
"And then there were two," I said to Bex she just nodded.
We had been walking for about 25 minutes blending in, going in and out of stores, and tailing a few random people until Bex smiled like a girl on Christmas, "Ooh! I want one!"
I just shook my head, "Bex we have a job to do, we can't get distracted by some boys," I started tugging her along, but stopped and turned to her and smiled, "I guess we could go for a few minutes…"
"Okay Cam, what do you see?" she knew me too well, I wouldn't go over to some guys on purpose.
"They look really familiar? Don't they look like you've seen them somewhere Bex? And they are speaking to some people called Prince, Lion, and Creeper," I knew that Bex understood me because she just nodded her head, but they got up and started walking away!
These guys were giving us a little bit of trouble, it was almost as if they were trained operatives. HAHAHA good one Cam! I saw Zach and Grant join some civilians. When the boys went down the elevator, we were minutes behind them on the escalator. We kept them in our sights and I could see some of their "friends" checking Bex and me out, but I just laughed. Silly civilians.
Bex strutted towards them and I kept my cover up and did the same, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable though. Bex got there first and received a few wolf whistles from the guys, but she ignored them and walked strait over to Grant. I saw some of the guys drop their heads because she was evidently flirting with him.
I saw someone approach me and I started to worry me, I could get distracted. I thought of all the possible options for an escape to get away. I could have lied. I could have fought. But desperate times call for desperate measures, so I took a chance and called upon a Gallagher Girl's weapon of last resort. I flirted.(a/n LYKY to anyone who remembers!)
I started twirling my hair and giggling and acting really girly. I looked up and it was none other than Zachary Goode. I started to blush he just smirked. He was definitely a player and a jock too to outer people. No wonder he was so easily blending with these boys, they seemed like football players. But he wasn't normal, he was a spy and a really HOT spy at that. Oh god, I didn't just say that about this guy, did I? No I am done with boys, I know how bad that goes. I mean look at how Josh and I ended up!
I didn't realize we had drifted from the crowd and I had most importantly lost sight of Bex. I thought of the quickest way to get away from him before he found out my cover, so I asked him, "Do you know what time it is, my sister is meeting me at Hollister at 5?"
"7 to 5. I'll walk with you over there," he replied without skipping a beat.
"How did you know the time? You aren't wearing a watch?" I quizzed just to get a rise out of him because I knew he wasn't anywhere near to leaving me alone. I saw a glint of annoyance in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, mission accomplished. He smoothly replied, "My friend just told me before I left him. Hey what's you're name?"
"Oh. Okay then," I said giggling like a stupid, flirty civilian girl. Then I decided that he doesn't need to know my real name, "And my name is Meghan. Meghan Ross," I decided with a wink.
"Nice to meet you Meghan. I'm Zach," he annoyingly smirked. Did he not know that you shouldn't give out your real name during a mission? He was doing every counter surveillance move in the book. I had to will myself not to laugh at his stupidity because I was right next to him. Either I was doing great with my cover, he didn't suspect a civilian to be a spy, or he was just a little rusty and/or bad and seeing tails. But then again, I AM the Chameleon.
After more flirting and listening to him say 36 different lies about himself we arrived at Hollister and said "goodbye" to him. He walked away after I gave him my number, it was actually just a list of random fidgets but he doesn't need to know that. He "looked" at himself in the mirror admiring himself and checking for a tail and his smirk just got bigger. Can someone say egotistical?
He continued on to the back of the store and slipped into the storage room. I got in just before the door could squeakily close. He spoke, "Mr. Solomon! I made it I'm here without a tail."
"You're 4 seconds late," replied Mr. Solomon without feeling in his voice.
"This girl was sticking with me and just wouldn't leave me alone," he said with an annoyed tune. What?! He was the one sticking to me! He used me to look normal! Gahhh!
"You didn't let me finish. You failed to lose you're tail and the spy is here now. And who was this girl. Just so I can find out who was getting in the way of you finishing you're assignment."
"Meghan Ross and she- wait. I came WITH a tail?"
"You heard him right Zachary Goode," I spoke from behind a box of t-shirts.
"Okay Cammie. Why don't you come out now," said Mr. Solomon trying to hold in his laughter.
I walked out with my own smirk on, "Surprise Blackthorne Boy."
He did a double take as he realized I was the same girl that had walked with him more than half of the way here. Mr. Solomon started to create a smirk of his own, but stopped as Zach whirled around to glare at him. I silently chuckled to myself as I left to go back to the van.
