FLASH BACK
Bex's POV
It was after final after I woke up from my concussion caused by a grenade. "Circle of Cavan recruited me after finals" Grant told me. That knocked the breath out of me. Grant on the Circle of Cavan after they tried to capture Cammie and tried to kill her. "But the M16 wants me too. They recruited first."
I stared at him blankly as he broke the news to me. "I'm a double agent now. For the M16 Bex. I'll see you in a year."
I saw a flash of regret flicker in his eye. "I'll see you soon." He kissed me and climbed into the limo that would take him away for an entire year. In our world that's an eternity. What happened after that was all a blur.
I'll se you soon. I'll see you soon. I'll see you soon. These words have been stuck on my head since the day Grant left. Five months have already gone by and the school seems empty without him. (With the exception of all the Gallagher girls and Blackthorne boys here). Only one question haunted me. 'Is he safe?' I half expected him to finish what he had to do early and come back. But sadly, it was not going to happen. I got out of bed and decided to get out of bed and join Liz, Cammie, and Macey for breakfast. I cascaded down the grand staircase, which had been empty by then, and towards the Dining Room. Immediately, I spotted Cammie at the center table with an empty seat waiting for me. After I sat down Cammie asked me.
"How have you been holding up?" Cammie asked me with her gentle touch. She's the only one who knows about Grant being gone. He told her he is like a brother to her, Not even Headmistress Morgan herself knows and Joe Solomon, there is a slight probability of his knowledge. But he didn't show it.
"I'm alright." I answer her in monotone. She knew me to well, not to know if I was lying but to know what I really felt.
"You're not." she says knowingly "we'll talk later."
I finished my breakfast earlier that usual. While I escaped I bumped into someone who I did not get to recognize. From there I walked over the Cam. I confessed to her everything. That I was worried. What if he was compromised? Where is he? Is he being tortured? For all I knew he could be dead. What if he lied to me? He could be really working for the Circle of Cavan. Is he being tailed? Who is he tailing? As the day rolled by I worried for his safety his cover for everything. All my life I have been strong-willed, nothing took me off guard, I was bold but now I have no idea who I really am or am supposed to be anymore.
"Bex, I am positive he is fine?" Cammie reassured me "Grant is good, at everything."
"Not at sneaking around." I told her. "Not everybody can be the Chameleon."
I smiled that made my day. She had a distinctive sense of humor.
"Thanks we better get going. Dr. Steve gets a tad snippy when anyone's late."
A tad. No one has ever been late except for me. And the bloke breaks into a panic yet I am the only one who doesn't seem to bloody care. It's the stupid jokes of the day that make me feel great.
Grant's POV
"Do you have the target?" I heard the rough voice of Agent Townsend through my comm. unit.
"Yes now give me a moment. Tell them to get ready." I ripped out my comm. unit and threw it at the nearby water fountain along with my cell phone which be used to track my location. From there I tailed Special Agent Pinciotti. Whom at the moment is taking me to a warehouse filled with M16 agents ready to arrest him for treason.
"It's about time Ms. Goode recruited some young agents." Special Agent Pinciotti droned on.
I tried to pay attention to report the others with more clearance but my mind started to wander off. To Bex, she's been on my mind a lot lately. But I shake it off. We walk down Rose Street.
"I've been told you have friend in the M16 and CIA..." He stops to turn on me. "If anything happens in the near or far future you'll only lose one thing, your life."
"In my defense when I make a decision I stick with it."
FIVE MINUTES LATER
"We're here." Special Agent Pinciotti whispers. "We are here to retrieve a disk filled with information on Mathew Morgan."
It's time. Discreetly I reached for the handgun hidden by my jacket. This ambush is not going to be pretty. He opened the door. The room was dark and damp. He switched on the lights and immediately he was surrounded by M16's most seasoned senior operatives. In a blink of an eye Pinciotti whipped out his gun and randomly started shooting using me as a shield. Townsend stop and to cover an injured senior meanwhile Agent Laurel jumps him from behind and reads him his rights. "Special Agent Pinciotti you are under arrest under the court of law..."
"You!" he points at me. "You set me up. You bastard!" he spat.
Feigning surprise I ask "Me? I just got here. Would I really do that?"
"Good job, Newbie." Townsend congratulates. Being congratulated is something seldom done so I made the moment last.
"Yes, I probably would." I smiled smug. Agent Laurel and the rest of the operatives handcuff him and drag him off. Then I turn to Townsend and ask
"Did you-" but Townsend cuts me off.
"We had enough time to find the disk and search the entire place." he says. I thought he was done talking so I started to mention what the disk had. But he cuts me off, again.
"We'll debrief you later. And next time do not throw your comm. unit and cell phone in the water. Her in the M16 we don't allow those kind of foolish actions to be made. And don't promise next time. Cause there won't be one."
I knew now wasn't a good time to be explaining that when you are a double agent and at the moment you 'working' with the other side wearing comm. units when they are not might look suspicious. And also my phone could have been tapped. So one thing is for sure I do not know if I can trust Townsend.
