Hi readers! I hope your liking the story! I just want to say a huge and really special thanks to MusicManipulator and the two guests who left awesome reviews on my story! Anyway thanks for reading and your support for my friend, sadly he died on the 22nd so I pulled a little five day disappearing act. Rest in peace Pey! (but also curse you for the last words you said to me! FYI he died in the middle of the night and I was walking to him maybe 20 minutes before he died when it was getting really bad, so I could say goodbye and he says "At least I go to see the sun one last time." and I said "What do you mean Peyton its the middle of the night." while choking back sobs and he says, "I got to see you." Then he told me he loved me while I was too shocked to say anything and he hung up. I got a call from his dad 20 minutes after my call with Peyton ended and I knew, I just knew and I could feel this whole in my heart start to take the place of all the love he has ever given me, so I'm sorry, I've kind of spent the last few days wallowing in my sorrows.) Anyway thanks for reading and enjoy!
Cam's POV
I wonder who they is.
I got my answer as soon as I opened the door to see Mom, Joey and Abby... but no Dad? I was a little shaken up by that and then I saw Mom's tear filled eyes and I fell on my knees crying with my hands over my face.
"NO!" I screamed over and over again.
I knew it the second he wasn't in that room what happened. My father...was gone.
"Cam I'm so sorry." I heard over and over again from so many people for the next few weeks then finally we were told that their was not body recovered and we had an empty casket funeral. The only thing was it was too much.
For the first time in my life I realized that everything was just going down hill so I ran and let me say I didn't stop.
I stopped running and when I did I saw a sign that said I was crossing into some country hick town in North Carolina. I knew that it had to at the least been 6 hours. I came to a small motel on the side of the main road that I was running on maybe a mile later and I went into the front office and got a room. I later realized I had no money with me. Oops... I guess I will just have to disappear later.
Anyway, I rested for about 9 hours and then left the motel in the middle of the night. I made it all the way to Raleigh this time, but I was picked up by the police about 2 hours after I arrived there. I was brought to the police station thinking I was in trouble for running away, but I was in trouble for skipping out on the bill at the motel. The police had no idea who I was.
"Alright little one, can you tell my your name?" asked an officer with the name tag Rogers.
"Officer Rogers, there is one thing that I will tell you and you get to figure it out. ID Number 1922418. Have fun." and like that my mouth was shut I didn't say anything. They had about 12 different officers come and ask me questions. 12 officers came up with nothing.
They had left the door to the interview/interrogation room open partially on accident and I laughed internally knowing that they had done it on purpose and they were going to say something to try and get me to crack.
"This kid is harder to crack than most of the criminals brought in here." One officer said.
"Yeah poor kid, she most have had a pretty rough time before we picked her up if she can shut up this good." another said.
"yeah, I hope we can get her back to her family."the first one said.
"Yeah, and looks like their sending in the chief to talk to her. Maybe he can get her to say something." the second one said.
"We can only hope." the first added and then the doors opened and a man about Joey's height came in and said, "Hello my name is Chief Edward Townsend. I know that we have had basically every officer in this department come in to question you, and I know that you know how to keep your mouth shut. I just have one question for you, if you don't mind answering it."
I nodded giving my approval for his one question.
He said, "Can you tell me exactly what you said when you were first questioned by Officer Rogers?"
I nodded and said, "This is what I said exactly, 'Officer Rogers, there is one thing that I will tell you and you get to figure it out. ID Number 1922418. Have fun.' That what you wanted to hear?"
"Yes thank you." he said and rushed out of the room.
I sat there for 12 minutes 32 seconds and he came back. "Matthew Andrew Morgan, MIA Navy SEAL and husband of an ex admiral for the United States Navy. They have a daughter about your age. Isn't that right, Cammie?" he said and I smirked.
"Took you long enough Townsend. I never thought you would realize who I am."
"Well now that I know your name I see your striking resemblance to the Cameron Sisters." he said smiling. "You knew who I was the second I walked into this interview room didn't you?"
"Are you kidding? I knew who the Chief of this Precinct was the second I got dragged into this horrid place." I smirked cockily.
"Well you should know that three unhappy Navy personnel are headed down here to collect you." he said.
"Great." I said and put my head down on my arms.
I sat up about 5 minutes later when I could feel the burning sensation on someone watching me. "Well if you are going to sit there and watch me at least do it where I can watch you!" I yelled at the glass in front of me.
Then 1 minute and 27 seconds later the door opened and I saw a boy about my age with dark hair like Townsend and startlingly bright green eyes. He was pretty good looking and about 4 inches taller than me. When I saw him standing there I jumped off the chair I was sitting in, looked at him and said, "Well are you just going to stand there or are you going to come sit and talk with me." as I crossed my arms over my chest tapping my foot on the ground.
He then quickly and quietly walked over to the seat parallel mine and sat staring at me.
"So you want to play 20 questions, to learn more about each other?" he asked
"Um... Sure." I said knowing that I would probably leave a lot of questions unanswered or lie for the answer.
"Name?" he said.
"I got a few. You?"
"Zach. Favorite color?"
"Green and blue."
"Sapphire blue. Favorite animal?"
"Seals."
"German Sheppard. Favorite food?"
"Chocolate."
"S'mores. Number of living parents?"
"Unknown."
"Same. You know I think we have a lot in common." he declared smirking at me with his unruly hair falling in his eyes.
"Well what make you say that?" I said in a tone that showed I was clearly not in the mood for talking, though he ignored the hint.
"We both have no idea if one or both of our parents is alive. I'm guessing you live like that a lot. I know I have. I've gone my entire life without a mom because she's a psycho terrorist and my dad put her in prison, so yeah my family is kind of messed up how about yours?"
"Well, my father is a Navy SEAL along with my godfather/uncle Joey and Aunt Abby and my mom is a ex admiral for the United States Navy. I kind of grew up with most of my family on and off being there for me so i kind of know what its like to live in a single parent house hold." I said looking down. "But right now I get to know exactly what its like because my father is MIA."
"I'm so sorry Cammie." he said.
"How do you know my name?" I said looking at him suspiciously.
"My father dated an Abigail Cameron, the sister of a retired Navy admiral and best friend of the admiral's husband and a Navy SEAL named Joe. I knew that the admiral retired because she had a daughter named Cameron or as you prefer to be called, Cammie. I just kind of connected the dots." he said.
"Your in a grade higher than your supposed to be aren't you." I said grinning.
"Almost, I am in the same boat as you. I am twelve and I am going to be a freshman next year." he said.
"How did you..." I said before he cut me off saying, "I might have snuck a peak at your file."
"You know what Zachary, I think we are going to be great friends." I said with a smirk.
"Same here." he said with a smirk of his own.
We then spent a long time sitting next to each other against the wall opposite the wall of the door just talking until I eventually fell asleep snuggled into his side happily. I knew that this was the start of something amazing.
