Here the chapter two.
Joe Solomon POV
There are a lot of things in life that I regret but I don't regret having a daughter with my best friend's wife. It was madness that night and she was on a break with Matt so she could be with anyone she want to be. But I don't regret it though. From that night, I gain a beautiful daughter. We did tell Matt about it. He wasn't happy about it but deal with it and help raised her. We all love her. I wanted to stay apart of her life but she need the stability of a proper family unit while growing up. Along with its was too risky me being around her too
I watched her as she grow up from the background. Only a few people knew about her real biological father is. We ended up taking a more role in the Circle to get rid of them for once and all. Me and Matt had become triple agents and had been for three years until the director found out. I been put on office duty and had to push papers for a while. Matt carry on until his cover was blown on a mission to Greece. I was shocked and upset. I didn't know what to do now. I was the one who had caused most of this; I ended up dragging Matt into this. It was my fault I think he not here.
I know I lie and hide behind covers and most of our life can be fake. But that our career as spies. I knew one day Cammie was gonna end up with the backlash of everything and the possibility of her finding the truth out. It is too risk for it to come out.
But I always wonder what would of happen if I had help raise Cammie. What if I had step up as my position of father to Cameron? Could this all be averted? The answer to that would be probably not.
But the main question I ask is could I be a good father?
I was always harder on Cammie in CoveOps because I wanted her to the best prepared for this life and that nothing would go wrong for her in field that way. When they gave the students their choice to take either a life in field or a life in an office. I had hope she would take the safe option, hoping that way she would be safe. She could of she was a brill spy, she was an all-rounder, brilliant at everything, she just didn't show it all the time. I guess she inherited that from me, you could see the things she had inherited from each of her parents. It made her a great spy.
There were many reasons; I took the job of CoveOps teacher at Gallagher. Matt had sent me a message shortly after he went MIA, saying "look after Rachel and Cammie. Don't miss out on anymore of Cammie's childhood. You know the life we lead, do it before its too late. – M.M. (Remember the promise)" I spend many months try to figure the note out if it was real or not. I didn't know what to do next. When the job came up and Rachel offered it to me, I had a battle with myself for weeks; Rachel didn't use Cammie to get to me. She convinced me in end saying it was a safer position and you the only one I could trust with job of doing it right. In end, I gave in and took the job. It was only five days before I was due to leave for Gallagher, that I re-found the note from years ago, ending up realising that Cammie would be at Gallagher now. This would be only way I could be there for daughter now and I was gonna take it. I need to do something to be part of my daughter's life and if this is the only way then so be it.
After everything that had happen through her life, Josh incident and Blackthorne Boys (Zach). I thought my daughter had tough it out and prove she was a good spy to many people. I was slightly worried with Zach being around her and maybe them having feelings for each other. Plus he was the son of leader of COC. That had me worried completely. But I had seen the way they look at each other and it start to change the way I thought slightly about the boy. He did care about Cammie I could see that much. But it still had me concerned, the COC was pretty much a threat to society. Him and his mother are the last the descendants of the Circle of Cavan founders. Whereas I am last descendant of Blackthorne and Rachel and Abby Cameron are last descendants of Gilly Gallagher. That would make Cammie the only descendent of both Blackthorne and Gilly Gallagher. (Rachel and Abby had pulled a stunt to replace the name on family tree so the secret could live on without the threat of bloodline being wiped out. They want it to be a secret at all costs.) This was one of reasons that the Circle might decide to come after her. One of many reasons to go for my daughter.
The situation made me realised, Cammie was in danger now sooner than me and Matt would have both thought. After her and Macey McHenry was attack on in Boston right under the Secret Service nose. It had alarmed me. This had also made me scared for her too. I didn't want anything to happen to my daughter that was when my fathering instincts finally kick in. There was only a small percentage that the Circle of Cavan could be involved in the attack. So I started hunting for answers of what had happened to try to rule out who was the target of the attack. It could have been either of two girls as Miss McHenry was an important public figure at this time. But there was still possible chance of Cammie being the target. Zach had join my search as well at that point and he had become a triple agent as soon as he realised he was in love with her and would do anything for my daughter and that when I could trust him, he gain value Intel for me and we work as a team from that point on. I seriously hope that Cammie wouldn't be the target but then again that was my father side showing. My spy side hope neither of these girls would have had a serious attack that means something major. Nevertheless, it end up in worse thing that could happen, Cammie had be the target and the COC was now wanted her. The night of the second attack end up with Cammie being sedated because was fighting everyone on her protection detail to get to Macey(to make sure she was safe) and her aunt who had been shot(and was bleeding out). Cammie was trying to make sure the others were safe before herself. All the comments I made that night were true.
That night broken my heart because my daughter's life had truly change and truth would be discovered soon. Abby Cameron had been shot that might trying to protect Macey, The Circle had obvious gather enough Intel and started to put pieces together. That same night I had thought over a lot of things. That very same night I sat there in Rachel Morgan's office at Gallagher watching my only daughter drift in and out of world around her. It broke me watching my daughter like that knowing that events leading up this were mess up basically. My only daughter in that state, she would be confused, hurt and vulnerable for many months to come. How her life was gonna change from that moment onwards, this worried me. I cried because I for once didn't know what to do for my daughter and I felt so helpless. I hoped this didn't break everyone when the truth finally comes to light. Also knew that my only daughter needs to be safe more than ever before. Plus I hate see my only daughter in this position, so helpless and not understanding fully the situation she was in.
I would give everything up for my daughter, I went to protect her when people on her protection detail were being stupid. I had to she was my daughter. Even if I was on the run, I didn't care as long as she was safe I didn't care. Some of the truth started to come to light then and I started to wonder how long it would be till rest of it all came out…
That time I had been captured by the CIA. I hate Edward Townsend because he had used my daughter as bait. What if that had been a circle agent instead? She would have been captured. But after being taken by CIA, I end back in hands of the Circle soon after that. I was drag to the tombs at Blackthorne and thought of this is where it ends. They kept asking for Matt's journey and I hope that Cammie had got it now with my note in it and got the note I did inside it. It didn't give her all the truth but most of it. Then something happen there Zach and Cammie had broken in the tombs, it soon turned into disaster, I had to get them out of there, they got caught and the fight quickly broke out. Zach made a decision, I didn't get a chance in help making, he and I manage to get Cammie out there together and I hope he was gonna follow her. He said good bye and took the gun and shot it at the explosives, we were going down and these Circle Agents were coming with us. I heard shouts from one of the tunnels from where the waterfall was. Its sound like Cammie and Cassandra Goode, I want to get to my daughter away from that evil woman but I couldn't, the flames were starting to raise and I wouldn't be able to get there but I hear "I've got nothing left to lose no more" and someone jumping… then everything fade black for a while.
Sometime after I got myself away from some of blackness, I could sometime here voices from outside in the room I was in as well as machines; I think I'm perhaps in a hospital. I kept hearing three voices most the times. Possibly Rachel, Abby and Zach I think. But one day while I busy try to get out of coma thing, I heard another voice, one I didn't expect. "Hmmm… Right Mr Solomon, I sort of never talked to people in their comas before so this strange for me and you probs can't hear me but I'm gonna talk soo here goes…." The voice I sort of recognised paused taking a few breaths. "… You taught me the best, I thank you for the valuable training you gave me, but I can't help doing this and got to do what people are always tell ya to do. Run…." I recognised the voice now of my only brilliant beautiful fearless daughter Cammie Morgan. I didn't want her run with the Circle out there waiting to get her flying around vultures trying to get her like she was their prey. At this point she was losing control of her emotions, its was showing... "I'm sorry but I've got to do this or I will never get the answers I need. I want to protect the ones I care about and love. I can't keep seeing people hurt because of me, you are lying here in an coma, Aunt Abby got shot, Macey got attacked, Zach got burned. I can't stay here and keep letting this happen. I'm sorry about what I've got to do but I can't sit here and let my training go to waste, I know everyone says they will find answers but they might possibly do. Most of the time, the answers don't come to person who most involved or the one that needs to know. After that its killing me not know these things when I'm the one in all this danger and I'm going to get them answers even is it kills me but I will try to be back for start of next year. I promise. I hope you are up and out of this coma thing soon. Surprising how I actually miss a decent CoveOps lesson. In addition I miss the sense of normality, Gallagher has turn into a prison and to be honest I don't feel safe here anymore and things have change more than anyone thinks in all probability that I'm might be the only one that notices. Mum acts differently, everyone does. My relationship with my mum is not there anymore she not my mum I know and love. I have a funny feeling that almost certainly things are going to get worse if I sit around and do nothing. Undoubtedly I've got to do this and maybe I will have no regrets about this. I'm sorry please look after my mum and aunt Abby. Just think I'm running toward answers and hope, not running away from all of this. Thanks I'm forever sorry and thankfully. Bye Mr S."
I heard her leave. I was fighting harder than ever to get out of blackness but it was pulling me in till I fade back.
(Few days later apparently.) I had opened my eyes for first time in weeks according to doctors. The first thing ask was to see Cammie Morgan, I was hoping she hadn't gone and did not do what she was gonna do. The feeling of dread fill me suddenly, she could only be thinking and saying that in heat of moment, Cammie was a smart girl, she wouldn't do that even if I was her position I would probably do the same thing. Oh no please don't let this happen. Rachel came in she just had tears rolling down her face, like a never ending river. That confirms my worst fears. I was too late, my only daughter was gone and she could soon be dead. My only daughter. The only person I had left that had some blood relation to me. Rachel just sank to ground, I ask when she just reply in a broken voice "two nights ago". I was far too late. There was no way she would be found, she was a natural pavement artist and a great spy she was a brilliant clever all-round good spy-in-training best in her year. She would make sure she couldn't be found.
The next couple of weeks pass as blur me, I did a lot of thinking, I was healing quickly that was a good thing too I guess. I was innocent and cleared. Cammie had end up clearing my name. (A/N this is my story version so I change some info from the book.) I was a free man again as much as a spy could be. Cammie would probably end up find out the rest of truth which now I am want her to find out so that maybe things can change for better. People are gonna get hurt and there might be a lot anger. I just can't stop worrying about how this is all going to turn out. I'm wishing the truth would have been told me and Rachel should have told Cammie. She shouldn't have had to leave and find the truth out this way. It not fair on her. I want her back here soon. Everyone falling apart without Cammie.
We had to force her roommates to go on their holidays. Zach was hard to do he now securely being watch at Blackthorne because I don't want him to leave to find Cammie. I don't need to worry about him as well because I don't want my daughter to get back and find the boy she likes gone. Yes I decide I now accepted what their relationship is and what it's going to turn into. He had shown where his loyalty lies with after what happen in the tombs. Its takes a lot to try to kill your own mother for the girl you love. Zach had told me that he did in fact love Cammie and ask if he could date her as he now knew that she was my daughter.
I also decide I'm going to step up and try to be a proper father to Cammie. Even if she doesn't want me to be. Things are defiantly are changing….
Weeks later…..
These couple of weeks came with no leads or trails on Cammie. This broke Rachel more and she wasn't even trying to hide it no more. Cammie was right about Rachel. As had Abby had changed too. She always had the mask and guards that we as spies learn very early on.
Cammie was a good spy. I think she had got better too. As her teacher I was proud but as her father I was proud, tiny bit anger and sad/upset. I was like a trance now. I had got my classrooms set up earlier in the summer. It was two days left before the school went back into session. She had promise that she be back. Cammie was a person who always kept her promises. But in this business promises count for nothing and they are easily broken.
It's now that I find how I much that I wish that Cammie had taken the safe option behind a desk.
The phone rang. Rachel answers. She spoke quickly and fast. The phone quickly shoves down. She turns away from the phone and had a hopeful look in her eyes. "The director here" I knew she was thinks that maybe there was some possibility that he might have some information on Cammie. I hope this too. I just want something that gave me some idea of where my little girl was. If she was safe or not; just something. But I didn't realise the surprise waiting for me downstairs.
Out steps another person from the specialist limo. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. She was here and back. She didn't say anything. At this point, I had to take charge and arrange this meeting with Cammie and Director. This was because Rachel and Abby Cameron were shocked and weren't talking and were just standing there like statures.
The meeting was sorted. Cammie and the Director just walked off into the school. It was only a min later that the other two people came around. We just walk to headmistress's office in silence and within our own thoughts. I was happy that Cammie was back. But completely nervous for this meeting due to that I don't know how much she had found out. It worried me that I hope she had found the correct information she needed and not fake Intel. That was a danger here. Immediately I thought I want to hug her after this is all sort out and maybe just spend some time with her. She my daughter in addition I miss too much of her childhood, I don't want miss anymore because as a spy your time is usually limited.
After she walked in and said that line, I knew she had found a lot out from her trip this summer and wonder how much damage was had happen and what was left now….
THERE WE GO!
I thought it would be good to see what was going on with Solomon with what was going on.
