Chapter 1
I hated airplanes, the stale filtered air that echoes with screaming babies and coughing businessmen. I hated the cramped seats where I always hit my head against the ceiling. But most of all I hated being trapped, caught with no exit signs in view. Short of jumping out of the plane, I was stuck in a metal box in the sky. It made my skin crawl.
I knew I shouldn't be here, it was unbelievable dangerous. God knows how many people saw me in the airport, saw me get on this plane. I'd be lucky if I got ten steps through the airport before they grabbed me. But considering my lack of current connections a commercial airplane was the quickest way to Boston. And I needed to be there yesterday.
I had done some digging which means I hacked into the FBI's database on the Circle and according to an email intercepted a Circle member was meeting a contact in exactly four hours, twenty minutes, and thirty seconds. I needed to be there, I needed answers. I was sick of asking the why and getting no reply. It was the reason I was here and not hidden away in some government bunker with a team guarding me that would rival the President's secret service.
I wanted to know what happened to my father and why. My stomach twisted with guilt as I thought of my mother's face when she found out. Two months ago I had left everything behind my family, friends, even the Gallagher girls. Even Zach. But the Circle wanted me and was willing to hurt every person around me to get to me. I was poison to the people I loved. So I left.
But they hunted me now. Zach was right no one could help me now, I was alone. The sides had been drawn and I was stuck in the middle. I was no longer Cammie. I was the chameleon, my identity ever-changing. I no longer had friends or family. I no longer had anyone they could use against me. I only had one thing, the need for the truth. And I would find it at all cost.
The plane dipped, starting its descent downwards and the flight attendant walked by checking seatbelts. I took a deep breath as the city came into view. I couldn't help but wonder if I'd leave it alive.
Tell me what you think. If people like it i'll keep going
