A/N: I own nothing , except for Lance , Ally Carter wrote the Gallagher Girl Series Only read if you have read Only the Good Spy Young!
My trip had taken me to Paris and back then to Germany. I was only successful in figuring out who was there, and what exactly happened until the point when my father lost control and ran from the COC. And that was a few months before we were notified that he was missing. I had managed to bring back one treasure to Gallagher, however. His name is Lance. Oh, yeah, that's right. I met a guy in Paris, and let's just say we got close enough to make me bring him to Gallagher.
I did not see any limos yet, so that meant I got there just in time, before the rush. I remembered the feeling of seeing all of those limos line up outside just to allow all of those girls with a cover of being snobby, rich, teenage girls. The teenage girls part was true, the rich sometimes applied. Snobby? Not even close to being spies in training , where in P.E. you get extra credit for attacking the coach and in Code Cracking you get extra credit for hacking into C.I.A. Systems, without being caught. There was even the occasional sneaking -out -to –see- your –boyfriend-who – hasn't –figured – out- you're – a- spy extra credit, but that was for me and me only though.
I was sitting in the passenger seat of the car telling Lance where to go as he drove his Mercedes through Roseville. (I'm still thinking: OH. MY. GOD. MY BOYFRIEND HAS A MERCEDES! ) Mace would be so proud. Bex would punch me for not bringing her back one or visiting her in Paris, since Europe is her continent . Liz would try to analyze and figure out a way to convert that into anyone of our mastered 14 languages and then convert it into boy language, which we have not mastered, yet. The only one of us who has would be Macey. I laughed at the thought , then a streak of pain crossed over my face.
Not communicating after so long has been a nightmare for me. I almost picked up the phone a few times to call my mother and tell her I was alright , but I couldn't because I didn't want them to get hurt. That's why I went alone in the first place. To find the answers.
Don't think that Lance wasn't trained well , because he was. I wouldn't have brought him to Gallagher if he wasn't. His parents were M16 , like Bex's, but so different. They still had a cover up for all of the money they had, but really I just personally think that Lance's grandfather died and left all the money to Lance's father that he got from smart investments, like Google. Oh , yeah, my boyfriend is going to inherit Google money, even though I could easily hack their systems and get the money myself, it's just much easier this way.
I had a slight headache and lucky me we were going past the Pharmacy. When Lance and I entered the Pharmacy, Dillon, Josh and DeeDee were all there. Oh good god, I can't catch a break can I? Good thing I have matured to at least somewhat resemble my mother. My hair grew and I have gotten more of a womanly curve. It didn't hurt that my current boyfriend was hot though. Lance held a height of 5'9 which was two inches over Zach since the last time I saw him. He had broad shoulders and a 6 pack ( That's right a very hot 6 pack!) . He had dark brown eyes with light brown hair that sort of looked like Justin Bieber hair, but hotter, and a nice tan. He wore jeans , converse, a black t-shirt with a white skull on it like the Punisher and a black leather jacket. I wore short shorts , converse, a white cami , a white diamond necklace that Lance brought me on our month anniversary and my hair was up in a ponytail. Did I mention that he went to a spy school for boys over in Paris? We went to the 'Head' isle and looked for medicine when Dillon came over to us.
"Cammie," Dillon asked.
"Oh Dillon , hey."
"What has the snob filled school Gallagher been up to?"
"I wouldn't know actually."
"Awe, daddy couldn't afford it anymore?"
"No actually, daddy died a few years ago , and I've been in Europe for the past few months…"
" Babe, I got something for you're headache," Lance said in his hot French accent. I took silent note of him calling me babe and when I turned around from Dillon I looked at him skeptically and he just smirked. As we left he slung his arm over my shoulder and we walked out the door and as we got into the Mercedes Dillon , Josh and DeeDee watched us.
" Oh, and how are things at you're self-conscious high school for people who don't know any better Dillon?" I asked him , but he didn't reply as we drove off.
" I am guessing that is the Dillon who is friends with you're first boyfriend Josh who was standing there talking to DeeDee ," Lance said.
" Yeah," I replied while taking the pill. " It helps to have an ex who supplies medicine doesn't it?" Lance laughed with me. It was funny how much we understood each other. There were no secrets.
We pulled into the driveway for Gallagher and as I said my name I told the security guards not to inform my mother, it was a surprise. I also had to add that I brought a new person with me. As we entered the front doors I told him he could put his stuff down with mine for the time being . As we entered my old room that I shared with Liz , Bex, and Mace, we saw Zach and Macey in full making out position.
" Is that what we learn at this school? Because if so , then I love it already." Lance said. Zach cursed in Farsi.
" Always using Farsi , huh Zachary?" Zach looked at me in astonishment and said nothing as Lance and I put our stuff down. "Finally got that smirk off your face. Honestly Mace , you can't even say a ' Hello' to one of you're best friends? What?" I saw them both staring at Lance and he ignored it. "Lance, they are Macey and Zach. Zach, Macey , this is my boyfriend Lance." I saw a flash of pain cross over Zach's face as I said boyfriend. He gave me one of his famous ' What the hell?' looks and so did Macey. "Don't look at me like that, I just caught you in here making out with one of my best friends, and you look at me for bringing my boyfriend here?"
" Well can you blame me? I thought you were dead!" Zach tried to explain.
"Can you blame me? It wasn't like I could talk to you! They would just try to hurt everyone again , and that was the last thing we needed. I may be a pavement artist, but that doesn't mean I enjoy hiding and sitting there watching my friends and family get hurt. I mean ,did you even read the report I left?"
" Seven times." Zach replied.
" I read it eight times. Welcome home Cammie! I missed you so much! You could have taken us with you, you know! Well, I guess you couldn't have sense … but anyway, I am so happy to see you!" Liz's voice boomed. Macey finally jumped up to hug me and then Bex came in the room and it was a huge hug pile.
" Ow! Gosh, Bex! You're already hitting me and I only told you that I went to Europe the majority of the time, and I met Lance in Paris."
"'Sup," Lance nodded over to us. Bex hit me again.
"Why didn't you bring me back one of those!"
"Grant, remember! Grant!"
" But he certainly is no Lance." Bex said, which made Lance smirk.
" I'll be sure to tell him that when he gets here." Zach replied.
"Oh, crap! I've gotta see my mom and so does Lance. Secret Tunnel?" I asked. Lance nodded in agreement.
"Abby and Joe got married." Liz blurted out.
"I know. Just because I couldn't talk to you , that doesn't mean I didn't keep tabs on you."
Once we got there, I knocked on the office door. It felt weird to knock since I usually just walk in. Mr. Solomon opened the door. He looked surprised to see me.
"What? Uncle Joe? Are you there?" By the time I said Uncle, he snapped out of it.
"Hello, Ms. Morgan."
"Joe, who are you talking to? We need to devise a plan to find Cammie."
"She found us, Rachel."
"Hey Mom. This is my boyfriend Lance." I honestly thought my mother would have been mad, or sad at least but all she did was hug me and squeeze me. "Mom... I ..." I began to say.
"Shh. I understand, Cam, I understand. Hello, Lance. I suppose we have a lot to discuss."
We took hours in the office sitting there chatting , talking about arrangements, how I was going to make up my tests that I missed on finals, how Lance's application looked, and what room he was going to stay in. Apparently, Dr. Steve had agreed to let Zach finish off school here along with some of the other Blackthorne Boys. I could tell Zach didn't like Lance too much, so when Lance was assigned to room with him I felt bad for both of them. As we walked out of the office Lance hugged me .
" What was that for?"
" For letting me come here. Meet you're friends and family. And be able to do this…" then Lance and I shared a long deep kiss.
" First time seeing you back in months and we find you and you're French boyfriend making out? Cammie , Cammie, Cammie." Grant's voice boomed.
" Haha , hey Grant, Jonas, Zach." Zach's face looked angry and saddened at the same time. I couldn't help but feel pain for his aching heart, but he had Macey and I had Lance.
" Lance, I heard we are gonna be rooming together. Let us show you to the room. Zach you coming man?" Grant asked.
" Nah, I have to talk to Cammie for a minute." Zach replied while looking at me. Grant left with a nod.
" What?"
" What you saw earlier was not what you think was happening."
" Oh really, enlighten me please."
" Macey and I were.." Zach began.
" Zach, don't take me for a fool, please. I don't mind you too being together. If you don't like me and Lance being together then that is your problem. So man up and deal with it. Because at least he didn't give me a run around on whether or not we were together. At least he didn't keep secrets from me about who he was related to and how he technically was related to the secret society out to get me. Or how my father died. Or how Blackthorne is a school to train assassins!"
" First of all I kept those things from you to protect you. Keep you from harms way. And Macey and I were breaking up! I admitted to still having feelings for you and Macey admitted to having feelings for Preston! You can be so foolish sometimes!"
" I'm a spy remember! You only ended up hurting yourself by that! People always think its better not to tell a spy things, but in actuality they should so a spy can make their own decisions! And as for you and Macey, you were still together Zach, when I first saw it I was hurt for a bit, but I got over it. And so will you."
" You don't get it Gallagher girl do you? I love you. More than you could imagine."
" I bet you would say that to Liz if she left and came back with a new boyfriend." I said while walking away.
" But , I wouldn't. Because I can only say that about you, Cammie." He called me Cammie. Oh god.
" Zach…. I … I can't do this now."
