Sorry it took so long to update guys. But I'm going to be honest and tell you that because school starts soon my updating will be much more sporadic. But I will try. Enjoy!

Cam. Cammie. Cameron Ann Morgan. As in my best friend. As in the girl who had all but literally fallen off the face of the earth. And do you know what she said? "Hey Lizzie" Like she hadn't been gone for a month without any contact whatsoever. Like she wasn't always in immediate danger. Like today was just a normal day. Like we were just normal girls. And i almost believed it. Almost. But as I looked down at the copy of Moby Dick that I had translated into Farsi for COW extra credit, i realized that was anything but true.

My fingers automatically started flying across my keyboard. The call couldn't be tracked. She was using a Sony 68923 pay phone. Every hacker's worst nightmare. She was good. "H-hi C-cam." I sounded like I had seen a ghost. And for all intents and purposes, I was talking to one. The first thing I felt was relief. There's always that little voice in the back of your head saying that she could be gagged and tortured somewhere and I have no idea about it. The second was anger. When Cammie left, she took a piece of my pride with her. She didn't buy anything. Or leave any finger prints anywhere. But I think the worst thing was that MY face recognition software couldn't find her anywhere. I realize that she was probably wearing a disguise but my software is famed and accredited for seeing through even the most complex disguise. But she is the Chameleon. No one can find her if she doesn't want to be found. The third was guilt. My best friend is probably risking her life to talk to me and I'm being petty enough to be upset about not being able to find her.

"Listen, I need a favor." she said skipping the pleasantries. "I know you are really mad at me right now but if you do decide to help me I will be twenty times closer to coming back. To home. I need you to find out what Zach's mother's name is," I swear she could hear my confusion over the phone because she elaborated, "I tried to find it but I only have dial-up right now. Don't even try Lizzie. I'm not at the farm. I wouldn't put them in that much danger. And from what I can gather it's under extreme lockdown right now. Plus you are a way better hacker than me."

"What do you mean lockdown?"

I could hear her cover the phone as if she were about to tell me the most precious secret in the world as she whispered, "Mr. Smith and Mr. Solomon."

I gasped. The two of the three best CIA agents out there. The third being MIA for almost 6years. Arguably the best in the field. The argument being held by the Baxter's, Bex's parents, and the best at MI6. She wasn't lying. Not even Cammie can get past that duo.

"I know it's a huge risk for you to take but I can't have anyone hearing it. I need you to meet me where we followed the pigeons," I knew what she was talking about and I knew she wasn't in a secure location. But of course she wasn't. She was in a phone booth.

"Yes." I blurted. "Of course. The pigeons. Got it."

"Oh, and Liz?"

"Yeah?"

"Please don't try to catch me. I'm safe. I'm with Zach."

"What? I read the journal. From what I gather you left alone."

"I did. He met me at the gate. By met I mean stuck a Napotine patch on my forehead and I woke up tied to a chair until promising that I wouldn't run away from him again." I sucked in a breath. If he hurt my friend I would kill him. She heard me. "No, Liz it's not like that. He just teased me. And was, well, Zach."

"I heard that!" could be heard in the background in the unmistakable voice of Zach.

"Wait, why don't you just ask Zach?"

"Well, he doesn't know."

"I'm sorry!" Zach yelled.

"Oh, Cammie?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I tell Bex? And Macey?"

"Yes. But you have to convince them not to try anything."

"Of course. I can do that."

"Okay Grams I gotta go bye."

I summoned up the all the grams-ness I could muster, "Okay deary, I'll see you at Christmas."

The line went dead. I dialed Bex's number as fast as my fingers could manage.

She picked up. "What the bloody hell are you doing Liz? I'm kind of occupied."

"I TALKED TO CAMMIE!" I squealed.

"WHAT?"

"We are meeting where we followed the pigeons."

"Okay I can get together a team in that time it's a little short notice but-"

"No. Bex. She's safe. And she'll be home soon."

"But-"

"No Bex. I promised. I have to do this for Cammie. Now you can come with me and respect Cammie's wishes or you can stay in London. Your choice." Wow I didn't know I had it in me.

Apparently, Bex didn't either. "I-I'm coming."

"And you aren't going to try to capture her?"

"No. You have my word."

I took a shaky breath, "Okay Bex, I'm trusting you."

"Okay, well I gotta go Liz. Bye!"

I hung up and called Macey. She wouldn't be so hard to convince. "McHenry speaking."

"Hey Mace, listen I talked to Cam."

She said a really bad word in Swahili. "Okay Liz. I know she needs you to find something. I know we can't try to bring her back. I know she's with Zach. So tell me what I don't know."

"I need to find- wait I'm sorry. I can't tell you what she needs to find. The line might not be secure and, I just can't. But we are meeting her where we followed the pigeons. And that's pretty much it." I said astounded that she just knows Cammie so well.

"Well you need to start hacking. I want to see my best friends, all of you."

I am very well aware that this chapter was extremely boring but at least it was longer! It was also very necessary. Oh and would you be willing to switch from Liz's pov to Cammie's to have some Zammie? Or would you just rather wait until the waaaay later chapters to see some minor Zammie. Like a short kiss on the cheek minor. Let me know! I am so much more inspired when you guys review! Like seriously. I only got 3 for my first chapter and I was like "Omygoodnes I really need to update for those three people who care enough to update because they are counting on me!" (not that I don't care about you guys who have such busy lives that you don't have enough time to update. Oh, and warning, I am a tad overdramatic on occasion.)

OOOO! I gotta tell you guys! So you might just be thinking that my pen name is just a bunch of random numbers and letters! WRONG! Okay so it has to do with to second GG book. It is also my fav method of cryptography. But there is only one person on Earth who knows what it is and I'm pretty sure she has no idea what fanfiction even is. So that doesn't really help at all. But here's the deal, if you tell me what my pen name (indirectly) says AND you tell me what my fav type of salad is (this is also a kind of hint) you will be like my favorite person ever. If you try and get it wrong then I will mentally give you a hug. Because I appreciate effort. And ice cream. If we could get rid everything but love, effort, and ice cream wouldn't the world be a much better place?
