A/N: I stink at intros so I am just going to jump in. This begins right after GG 3 ends. Nothing much has happened since the end of GG 3 except for Cammie and Bex going to London.
Chapter 1
It was nice to finally sit down on the nice soft hotel bed after the long trip. Now, you may be wondering why Bex and I are in a hotel room when she lives here so let me explain. We got to London a few days ago and we were staying at Bex's house. I was just fine there but according to Bex it was boring and there wasn't enough shopping. Apparently she just could not handle the idea of over a month of relaxing. (See at Gallagher Academy we don't get to go home for things like spring break and all those other little breaks so we just get a really long winter and summer break to make up for it. Its one of the problems of going to spy school.) After a lot of deep thinking Bex had this great idea (lots of sarcasm there) that we could take a trip during our trip. So that's why we are currently in a small two story hotel in the middle of who knows where London rather than in the Baxter's nice big house.
I plopped back one the bed and starred at the ceiling. In case it is not totally obvious I am not really into shopping. I couldn't help but think about Zach. I hadn't seen him since the whole disaster during the election. I wondered what he was doing right now. I'll bet Grant isn't forcing him from his nice vacation to shop. Now don't get me wrong. I love Bex. She's one of my best friends. I had just really wanted to do nothing over break. I needed time to think.
I heard Bex coming into my room. I sat up and tried to put on a happy face. Just because this wasn't fun for me doesn't mean I have to ruin it for her. This was pretty nice actually. Our suite was even pretty big. It had two bedrooms and a little sitting room-kitchen thing. We were also in a really nice city without having to be in the middle of all the city noise. I guess it all depends on your point of view. Mine despite my efforts was not the most positive one.
"Bloody hell," she said. "This place is beautiful. And look! We have a really nice porch." She walked over to the sliding door that opened onto what you could call a porch. You could also just call it the first floor roof. Someone had put some little lawn chairs and potted plants on it to make it nicer.
She turned to me with a huge grin and her hands on her hips. "Now aren't you glad I dragged you out here."
"Sure," I said, using every spy skill I had to make it sound convincing.
It still didn't work on Bex. "Really Cammie you need to lighten up. We are on vacation," she said, making a wild gesture around the room. "I know you have the Circle of what ever after you and stuff but thats just all the more reason to enjoy this while it lasts. Maybe after we go out and get some food and look around the town a bit you'll be less depressing."
Now that I think was a little unfair. "Hey. I'm not being depressing."
"Sure you aren't. Be ready to go in fifteen minutes or i will come and drag you out of here." I really didn't dough that she would so I stood up and started to head to the bathroom attached to my room.
I stopped and turned when I heard Bex say, "You had better put on something nice too. I am so sick of you only ever having jeans and t-shirts." With that she turned and grace fully darted from the room before I got the chance to protest.
After Bex forcing me to change clothes a total of nine times, we had finally left. I now have on a dress. Yes you heard me a dress. It is white with pink, orange and purple flowers that look like they were done in watercolors. It has thin straps and is a little shorter than knee length (A/N: Sorry to put a note in the middle of this but I just have to say that this is a description of a dress I bought today that I really thought would horrify Cammie). I felt like she was one step away from putting a flashing neon bow in my hair. Thins was really not a good look for a Chameleon, especially in the middle of winter even if it was unseasonably hot out.
Bex had dragged me through nearly a thousand shops by this time and we had barley even bought anything. It isn't that we didn't find anything, I mean there are a ton of cute clothes here, its just that everything here costs way too much. Like more-then-my-house too much. I'm not being cheep. Even Macey would think twice about spending that much and her dad is Senator McHenry.
We had decided to take a break from the shopping and were currently looking for a place to sit down and maybe get some food to eat. Since we didn't really know the area we had just started walking toward the Tower of London thinking we would find something along the way. The Tower of London it this huge old castle with all these beautiful, you guessed it, towers (A/N: I looked it up, its real). It looked a little like Gallagher to me, which I found extremely comforting.
Of coarse the second I start to think of home, I again started to think about Zach. I am usually not so obsessive about him. I mean, I am, maybe, a little obsessive but today was really bad. He seemed really close somehow. I know it sounds crazy, I'm in London, but i felt like he was here in a way. It wasn't one of those times when I felt like he was tailing me, it was different then that. Maybe this is what i get for packing his jacket he gave me and bringing it here. Now he is really driving me insane. I am so pathetic.
Bex all of a sudden pulled me out of me thoughts when she said, "Oh! Look at that we can go there. It's adorable." She pointed to a little cafe-restaurant about a block away. After we went in, ordered, and found ourselves a table, I excused my self to go find a bathroom mostly just to wast time while we waited for some food.
For a small place it sure was hard to find the bathroom. I hadn't asked where the bathroom was because I had assumed it would be easy to find. Now I had wandered around for almost six minutes, five minutes and fifty-four seconds to be exact, and was really getting annoyed. I had checked the whole first floor and it wasn't there. I had just wandered past a door labeled supply closet when I knew I was not alone up here. Sadly I found out just a little too late, because just then a hand clamped over my mouth and another went around my waist. I felt me feet completely leave the ground as I was pulled back in to the closet I had just passed. (A/N: He he. Cliffy)
