Covert Operations Report

Day 1-

If Cammie won't run away with me, I'm just going to have to do my best to protect her. Because if I don't … well, I don't want to think about that right now. Too many people want to hurt her and I don't know who to trust.

Day 2-

I woke up at 03:00 this morning with a bad feeling. A doom-like feeling. I went to make sure Cammie was okay. Only she wasn't in her room. Her bed didn't even look slept in. Well, maybe she needed some to think, I thought. So I quietly closed the door and went in search of all the secret passage ways that were still in operation. And she wasn't in any of them. Her belonging were undisturbed, nothing in her room left and hint of where she would have gone. I snuck into Headmistress Morgan's rooms. And there was still no sign of her. After another two hours of fruitless searching, I went and woke up the headmistress.

The roommates were questioned.

The school was searched by every teacher and staff member.

The trustees were notified.

And I was forgotten. I walked the hallways thinking of every unimaginable thing that could have happened. That I let happen. Dammit! They couldn't do this to me; take away the only person who ever cared about me as much as I cared about them! I looked up and realized that I was standing in front of Gilly's sword. On it was the sign of the Circle of Cavan. The people who were destroying my life. Looking up at the ceiling, I saw the corner of a notebook hanging over the edge of the case. I reached up and grabbed it. It opened to the last page in my hands.

"Zach was right.

A year ago he told me that someone knows what happened to my father. Someone knows why the circle is chasing me.

And now … well … now I am going to leave here, and spend my summer trying to find them.

I'll be back. And when I am, I promise I'll have the answers."

She ran away. With no help. With no back-up. No anything.

She ran away without me.

Day 1-

I need to finish my report. Soon. I have $300. To last a summer. My first mission without back-up. Without a grade depending on it. Without Joe Solomon guiding me (even if only in my head). This time I had to start fresh, depending on instinct. Change my patterns. I need to find my answers.

Day 2-

Last night I slept in a car. My first official, and unsupervised, crime. Breaking and entering, trespassing, and robbery. (Picked the lock. Got in the car. And stole five water bottles, a blanket, first aid kit, back-pack, sunglasses, sweatshirt, a couple of comp books and pens, and about thirteen dollars in change.) I'm starting to feel like a real spy, trying to survive after going rouge. (Which I've only read about, most operatives that go rogue die within a year.)

Day 3-

I've decided. I'm gonna head towards Blackthorn. Try to find Zach's mom. And get some answers. I only hope I can find my way back.

Day 3-

Last night I gave the folder to Cammie's mom. I didn't read any more than that last page. This morning in the headmistress's office, I watched the news. The biggest story was the story of a seventeen year old girl found dead in a parking lot. I almost started crying before they flashed the picture of an African-American girl about five inches to short and twenty pounds heavier than Cammie. Then my tears were of joy.

I have no choice.

I'm going after her.

I have to.

But where is she?

Thanks for reading! Please review, although I'm not going to require X amount of reviews to post the next chapters. I already have two and three written but due to homework, I can't publish all of them tonight. :[ Please let me know what you think, amazing or horrid, or if you have any ideas of what should happen. I hope you enjoyed this! :]
