Cammie POV
The Pros and Cons of Being in a Helicopter with 16 of your Classmates and Your Godfather Travelling to an Unknown Location
PRO: There's not time like a road trip to catch up on some extra sleep (even if you are not actually on a road)
CON: You can't get to sleep with Bex snoring beside you and knowing that you might meet the Blackthorne boy sin the next 24 hours
PRO: I get to bug Joe by asking Joe 'are we there yet?' every minute until he threatens to show my classmates really embarrassing baby photos (even though I didn't even know him then, my parents kept him posted)
CON: The aforementioned threat
PRO: You know that you don't need to worry about the Blackthorne Boys due to your inside source
CON: Your sisterhood (apart from Macey) is
After what seemed a very long time, I felt the helicopter descending and prepared my legs to awaken after a sleep of 2 hours and 36 minutes. I jerked Bex awake (hey – If you have ever been woken up by Bex herself you will understand my harshness). The Helicopter came to a very clean stop, even if Joe did say it himself. Bracing myself for the natural light, I took off my blindfold and exited the helicopter.
Bex POV
Ok, I will confess: I wasn't really asleep. I just needed some time to think. You see, Cammie has been acing weirdly lately. When her Mum announced that we were going to Blackthorne, she smiled at her and then got really distant as if she were thinking about something deeply. And that's not all, she's been strangely excited lately. She's even waking up early for goodness sake and that is not usual.
It's not just the waking up early that bothers me. Liz, Macey and I have always been quite active roommates and so we decided to take it upon ourselves to find out where she is going. Lizzie put a tracker in her shoe and it turns out that she is just going to her mother's office. Why?
Of course, being a spy, Macey put two and two together and realised that she always takes some kind of book or phot album with her. Why is she being so secretive? Why shouldn't she tell us, her best friends? These were all questions I wanted answers to and so here I lay thinking and hoping that Cammie would let something slip when she thought I was asleep and she thought her and Mr. Solomon were alone.
As we began to near our location, Cammie jerked me 'awake'. Her 'are we there yet? 's subsided (Thank goodness!) and I began to ponder our destination.
You might think that this was just an ordinary field trip and that we would probably be visiting a museum or something. However, we were with Mr Solomon, and he didn't usually conform to the expectations of ordinary field strips. Therefore I was slightly astounded when I took off my blindfold and saw the National Mall (A/N I think that's what it is called).
Macey POV
As we stepped off the helicopter, Mr Solomon's smile seemed to widen. We all put our blindfolds in a bucket in front of him and stepped back so that he could tell us our mission.
Just looking around, I hoped we would get disguises. Not to brag or anything, but I kinda am Miss America and so just strolling around might be a bit problematic. I looked over at Cammie. She had not stopped smiling since her mother had made the announcement of the exchange. The noise of Mr Solomon clearing his throat in front of me brings me back to the present.
'Ladies, you mission is to tail the Blackthorne Boys. They do not know who you are or that you even exist. Your job is to follow them around – they have been told to meet their teacher at a certain place at a certain time. Also, they are good Ladies.' After this little piece, there was a buzz of excitement before Mr Solomon continued. 'Because of…classified reasons, Cameron will not be taking part in this assignment. She will be staying with me in the helicopter on comms.' At this, we all looked at Cammie, who shrugged mysteriously. I saw Bex flash her a hurt glance. I didn't blame her. I mean, even if it were classified, she could've told us. She's told us plenty of other classified things.
Cammie POV
Did I feel guilty about not telling my sisters? No. Should I? I'm not sure. I'm a bit upset that I wouldn't be allowed to join in the assignment. Although I understand that I did have an advantage, I would have liked to have just been given another boy to tail. Or better, let me have fun with tricking them all the same.
Waving goodbye to my friends, I put on my comms and headed back into the helicopter. Joe followed me in. As expected, I received the lecture on how I shouldn't be angry about not being allowed to take part in the mission. Of course, my next thought was to ask if he had been allowed to take part. The answer didn't surprise me: 'Yes, they don't know about you Gallagher Girls. If he wasn't, it would just alert him. Don't you want to surprise him? I guess Joe had a point.
