It was an ordinary day. Well, as ordinary as it can be being in the secret house that can only be accessed by a secret passageway from my mother's office at The Gallagher Academy. No, you didn't misread that. The Gallagher Academy. The one for exceptional young women. Yet, no one knows how exceptional the young women at Gallagher really are.
You see, most people think the Gallagher Academy is for rich young ladies who have nothing better to do than sit in a mansion waiting for their 'Daddies' to make more money. You see, most people are wrong. 'Why' you may be asking. Well, because The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women is a school for girls to become spies. In short, it's a spy school.
'Who exactly are you' you may also be asking, and if you aren't asking that, well then, you're a terrible spy. I am Caitlyn Morgan, twin sister to Cammie Morgan. What's that? We don't ring a bell? Let me paint you a picture, then.
Cammie is about 5'4", pale skin, a small sea of freckles splashed across her nose, ocean blue eyes and shoulder length dirty blonde hair. Me? Well, I'm 5'4", slightly more tan then her (What can I say? I love the beach), hazel eyes (that change color, I know right, it's so cool), and dirty blonde hair that ends right at the bottom of my ribs. Still doesn't ring a bell, huh?
Well I guess we aren't pavement artists for nothing. Maybe you've heard of our parents. Rachel and Matthew Morgan. Yeah, the Matthew Morgan that went missing on a mission to take down the circle (an evil terrorist group) with Samantha Solomon. (A.N. To get this story to work I had to give Joe a wife, and not allow him to date Rachel or Abby…no matter how much my head cannons it….:(….and see what I did there? Matthew Morgan and Samantha Solomon? M.M. and S.S.? See? See? No? oh….okay….I guess I've stalled long enough….) What's that? You didn't know they had kids? Well nearly everyone knows! Maybe you know our codenames then. Cammie the Chameleon and Caitlyn the Ghost. Or Chameleon and Ghost.
Yeah, that's right. We're CIA legends. We were trained by the best spies out there with Brian Solomon (A.N. this is Joe's son….he will pop up later so keep Bryan tucked away in your brain!) and Rebecca Baxter (although if you'd rather her not perform the Baxter choke hold on you, patent pending of course, or die a slow painful death I suggest you call her Bex).
So we were trained by our parents (of course they would want to teach us), Joe Solomon (the cove- ops teacher at Gallagher who is too easy to trick, in my opion), Samantha Solomon (she was always like a second mom to me so when she disappeared…..I may have cried for like a month), Abe Baxter (all I can say is this guy is pretty scary….hey don't blame me. Have you ever had a 50ish year old guy who happens to be British and related to a certain Bex whisper shout at you to disable a bomb within ten seconds or the whole world explodes?….I have…. lets just say I was expecting Christmas to be more fun….) and last, but defiantly not least, Grace Baxter (who is like a third mom to me….and taught me how to speak with a British accent!).
That's why Cammie and I were on our beds in our room talking about what movies to watch tomorrow and other boring stuff I could honestly care less about. (We were already trained spies, we had no need to attend Gallagher, or at least, that's what our mom says….)
"Cammie, I'm bored!" I whined like a six year old child who had just been declined candy, on Halloween. I mean, I know I'm sixteen years old and all, but you try having nothing to do nearly 24/7.
"I know, Caitlyn. You're also whining it in your head" Cammie replied in an annoyed tone while rubbing her temples. I know what you're thinking. 'How the H-E double hockey sticks does she know what you're thinking?' Easy. We can communicate mentally. Read each other's thoughts. I call it twin telepathy. But, we can "switch off" so we can allow each other some privacy. I do this with Cammie frequently. Her thoughts are kind of annoying.
"Hey! I heard that!" Cammie said in a somewhat angry tone, although she knew, judging by her tone, that I was just messing with her.
"Whoops, sorry! Can we go hang out with Liz or Bex….and, God dear help me I never thought I'd say this, But maybe Macey can give us a makeover or something?" I replied out of pure boredom. I mean, seriously, I asked if Macey McHenry could give us a makeover. I'm sure you realize how bored we are now.
"Can't. They're in class right now." Cammie said in a tone was slightly pissed off. Let's just say, we may have had this conversation before.
"Oh! I know! Let's go spy on Joe to see if the girls are on a mission any time soon!" I replied, and out of the corner of my eye I looked in the mirror and say my famous mischievous glint showing in my eyes.
"Fine. But if they are we meet with them, I mean ALL of them, and make a plan with them. Maybe Joey will actually have the guts to send us here it's a win-win situation!" Cammie eagerly whisper shouted.
You see, we have been dying to go here. And I mean actually go to school here. We only have Bex (only I am allowed to call her Rebecca because I'm the only person that is able to beat her at P&E), Liz and Macey as friends, because they are the only students who know we are here. Bex, because she is the only one supposed to know about us, and Macey and Liz because they're Bex's roommates, and I mean c'mon, how long can you keep us a secret from your roommates since we come nearly every day.
"Or he'll send us to Blackthorne, and we'll be surrounded by boys. It's still a wining situation." I said.
Ten minutes later Cammie and I are in the secret passageway by Joe's office. His office is practically a replica of our mom's. (Including the secret house…except his…is well….his.)
"Rachel calm down the ladies don't know about the mission tomorrow" said the all too familiar voice of Joe Solomon.
"Rachel, would you stop worrying! Yes I'm certain the boys will be at the Smithsonian exactly five minutes after the girls. Don't worry about Cammie and Caitlyn. Remember, every Wednesday is their movie marathon day. Stop worrying. Yes, I'm sure your girls aren't listening right now! I know because I checked on them five minutes ago. Caitlyn's irritating Cammie like every other Tuesday. Stop worrying, we'll have the Blackthorne boys there on time to tail the girls. I know, because Steven Sanders promised me, and he always keeps his promises." And with that Joe hung up on our mother.
~*~~*~~* Thirty minutes later *~~*~~*~
Cammie and I are sitting in the girls room. (yes, Rebecca's room)
"And I told Tina 'Girl those shoes with that nail polish and clown makeup. nuh-uh'" said Macey as she was walking in with Liz and Bex. ( I like to mix it up so sometimes I call her Rebecca and sometimes I call her Bex.)
"Guess who's going on a mission tomorrow " Cammie and I said at the exact same time . Except Cammie said it all girly and happy, while I said it like I was bored.
And that is how Cammie and I ended up on Bex's bed, twenty minutes later, surrounded by the rest of the sub level two cove-ops class, along with the research and development girls in the same grade.
"Girls long story short. I'm Caitlyn. This is Cammie. We are headmistress Morgan's daughters. Everything we tell you in here is not to be said outside of this room. Is that understood?" I said while eye-ing each and every girl (and I may have looked at someone *cough* Tina Walters *cough cough* 0.5 seconds longer) with authority in my voice. I was met, immediately, with a lot of replies of 'understood'.
"Great. Now listen good (AN: E….haha only I would interrupt the story for the 'Goode' pun), because I'll only say this once. Tomorrow a few of you ladies will tailed by some Blackthorne boys, who are apart of a spy school. This is the plan Cammie and I came up with. We will tail the boys who are tailing you. We seduce" Inearly gagged here. Almost, but I'm too good of a spy to let a mission come in with my personal beliefs "them and lead them into an alley. We put these, wonderful napotine patches Lizzie here made" I think Liz blushed at that "and that we can set a timer to it. We will set it to where they are late to your destination by five minutes. Cammie and I will arrive five minutes early and do what we do best. Blend. Then we come behind Joe after the boys arrive, basically while he's too distracted by yelling at them, and not only surprise the boys, but also Joe. Oh and here are some cell phones that are like comms units except we can hear you even if you close it. And for the few of you who don't believe our plan will work. Our plans have never failed us. Chameleon and Ghost plans never fail. Get plenty of rest tonight ladies. You'll need it." I heard some gasps when I said our codenames.
And with that I jumped off of Bex's bed and stormed out of the room.
