Author's Note: I wrote this after GG4 but it takes place AU when DJGC would be happening. Zach's mom is trying to find him and she doesn't really care about getting Cammie at this point. I hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own any character's that appear in the actual books.
Behind the Curtain
Chapter 1
"Incompetence! Complete incompetence! Can't you people do anything right? He's a sixteen year old boy for God's sake!" I yell.
"Yes but he's good, very good in fact," says one of the new guys.
"Well you should be better considering you have eight years of training on him," I reply.
"But he's been trained by Joe Solomon," he persists.
"What did I say about mentioning that traitor?"
"Sorry ma'am," he says.
"Sorrys are for civilians. Now get back to work," I say and walk away.
There's something you need to know about us. We're not some goody goody government agency. We don't stop terrorist attacks or find missing little kids. We organize the terrorist attacks and take little kids. We're an organization unlike any other; we're big enough to be dangerous but small enough to slip through cracks. That's how we've survived for such a long time without being compromised. We have no cause or purpose; we just want power and money. We're known as The Circle of Cavan, we have agents at every level of major security service in the world, to them we're traitors, but I like to call us double agents.
Joe Solomon on the other hand, he's a triple agent. He joined the same time as I did, we were sixteen. I was attending the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Woman and he was attending our brother school. These schools aren't what they seem to be. They train operatives for government agencies. They have Circle operatives working at the schools to recruit new members and somehow they recruited me. I'm not saying that I regret it; in fact, it's the complete opposite. Joe Solomon is one of the only triple agents in The Circle. He's the only one who's come so close to destroying us, but he hasn't managed to do so yet, luckily for him. Although he has managed to turn my son against me and The Circle and we can't seem to locate him, my son that is. The last time I saw him he was stealing our records and he escaped with them. My guess is that he went back to the Gallagher Academy with Joe. Zach is a sixteen year old trained spy/assassin. He disappears for months before I can ever locate him again but this time we have to find him and his little girlfriend before they can do anymore damage.
When I walk into my office Chris is standing there looking at some files I had left on my desk.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"Snooping," he replies like it's no big deal, really it is no big deal. If they're important I wouldn't have left them on my desk. "Have you found him yet?" he asks.
"No."
"Well, he'll turn up. We'll get him when he makes a mistake."
"My worry is if he'll make one."
"Don't worry he will," he says in a wicked voice.
