Zach's POV

I was awakened suddenly by the jolt of the helicopter touching down right outside the Gallagher Academy. I must have fallen asleep. I looked anxiously around, relieved to find Anna stretching and looking around. Of course she didn't try to escape. She's completely normal! Still, my mind flashed back to her house, and suddenly, she didn't seem a bit normal to me. She seemed like…a Gallagher girl. I motioned for her to follow, and I led her up the steps of the Gallagher Mansion, through the hallways and to a door. I opened, guided her in, and commanded, "Wait here." She spun around, her eyes flashing with anger.

"I WILL NOT be told to sit here and wait like a dog, Zachary Goode." I stared at her, eyes wide in shock.

"How do you know my name?" I demanded. She just smirked and tossed me my wallet. She must have grabbed it while I was sleeping, I realized in awe. She didn't even wake me up! "Just-Wait here, okay?" I choked out. "Please? I'll only be a minute." She nodded, pacified by my humble tone, and sat down. I raced down the hall to Ms. Morgan's office. I slammed open the door. She turned to me, tears streaming down her face.

"Zach, we can't do this to that poor girl. It's too much to ask. She's not trained, or strong or-" I cut her off.

"Ms. Morgan, she's not-normal." Her eyes widened momentarily. "I mean, I believe you that she's never been formally trained, but please, just give her a chance to hear out the plan. If she doesn't want to, then fine. She can go home. But this is our last chance to save Cammie. And you know it. The Circle of Cavan won't stop until they have her." Cammie's mother stood up, and I noticed that the tears were gone, and there was no trace that they had ever been there.

"Very well Zach," she said, in a very business-like tone. "Let's go see if we can pull this off." She headed for the room in which I had locked Anna, and walked in. I followed closely behind, afraid that Anna would bolt for the door. But, of course, Anna didn't. Instead, she leaned back on the couch, smirked, and asked,

"Now, care to tell me why you dragged me here? Nice place, but I don't belong somewhere as grand as this." And she didn't. She was a country girl, used to getting dirty and working hard. In her rumpled farm clothes she looked completely out of place, and she knew it.

"Hello Anna, I'm Ms. Morgan, headmistress of the Gallagher Academy." Cammie's mom introduced herself politely. "Now, you might have heard that this is just a school for rich snobs, but I assure you, that we are not what we seem." She leaned forward and locked Anna in her gaze. "There is a reason you've been called here, and it is very important, and very, very dangerous. You can accept it or decline, but understand that NO ONE will know the truth about the Gallagher Academy." Cammie's mom gave Anna one final serious glare, the stood up and walked out the door. "Zachary will tell you all about the Gallagher Academy, and your purpose." She added as she walked out the door.

I turned to Anna. I told her the truth about the Gallagher academy, how we were spies, how girls from all over the country gather here to perfect their skills and then go off, risking their life to keep our country safe. I told her how much of an honor, a privilege, a gift it was to be considered one of them. Anna's cover had slipped by now, (hey what did you expect? She didn't have any formal training.) and she was staring at me in shock. "But….why me? I'm not special, or smart, or pretty or-" I help up a hand, signaling for her to stop.

"Anna, you have a twin. Her name is Cammie. You two were separated at birth, and while Cammie went to a spy family and ended up going to the Gallagher academy, you went to a normal family. Cammie is in grave danger." My face paled at the thought, but I pulled myself together and continued. "She's being hunted by a terrorist organization called the Circle of Cavan, and it's become too dangerous for her to stay here. She needs to go into hiding, somewhere where they can't find her. We need….we need you to become her, to impersonate her, so that the Circle of Cavan won't come looking." Anna's eyes widened. I continued quickly, "This is a very dangerous mission. The possibility that you'd get kidnapped, tortured, and killed is very, very high, but you have to understand! She's very valuable to the government as an operative. She has promise to become a great spy and save many lives. We can't lose her!" I cried, hearing the desperation in my voice.

After 57 seconds, Anna said slowly, "You love her, don't you?" The voice was so soft that I wasn't sure I had heard it at first. But I'm a spy. We hear everything.

"Of course I don't!"

"Zach!" She Hissed.

I buried my face in my hands. "Okay, okay. Yes, I do! And I can't let anything happen to her. If she gets killed or hurt or kidnapped it will be all my fault! And I can't live with that. I don't want to do this to you, I don't want to see an innocent girl get hurt, but I just can't-" I stopped when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up. It was Anna, her eyes were shining with tears.

"It's okay, Zach. I'll do it." She said softly. Her voice shook, and I could tell she was terrified. But she sounded determined, decided. Dependable. She turned and walked back to where Cammie's mom had gone. I stood slowly, and as if in a trance, walked to the headmistress' office.
