THE MEETING

The silence was driving me crazy. Well it wasn't really silent, it just seemed that way to me. I wasn't going there alone, which proves that it could get worse. Bex, Liz and Macey were walking down the corridor with me; it was all part of our plan. I was going to go into my Mum's office and they were going to hide in the tunnel next to her office so they could hear and see everything that is going to happen inside. Also, so that after the meeting we could recap what had happened and review it, I was wearing a Coms unit, Liz had made it and it fits neatly in a button on my blouse. Not even my Mum would be able to spot it; sometime you have to love Liz's intelligence and tiny fingers.

The large mahogany door was growing closer with each step, and the closer the door came the closer I was to my future changing forever. We were less than ten steps away, it was these last ten steps that I was dreading, the ten steps I would have to take alone. We all stopped, not a word was spoken between us, Bex gave me a quick hug and then suddenly they disappeared and I was flying solo. I had no backup no team to save me when things went wrong. I was alone. The last ten steps went slower than the whole walk up to my Mums office. 9 steps, 8 steps, 7 steps, what if I can't do this, 6 steps, 5 steps, 4 steps, what if everything changes after this, 3 steps, 2 steps, 1 step, there was no turning back. The door loomed in front of me, as soon as I stepped through it there would be no hiding, I would have to face whatever I was told head on. My hand reached out for the door knob, it was shaking. I grabbed the golden orb, it felt cold in my hand, there was no escape. I checked the clock, 8:45 exactly. I turned my wrist and opened the door

Sitting at her desk was my Mum. She was looking down at first, at some papers that were sitting on her desk. Her office looked unusually neat, normally the desk was covered in papers and the bin was full, today it was just a small neat stack of papers on her desk and what looked like scrunched up papers in the bin. All I could read off the notes was the line Dear Cammie, they must be drafts of the note she sent to me earlier. My Mum looked up from her papers and motioned for me to sit down opposite her. There were two chairs sitting in front of her desk. I usually sat on the couch that was in the corner, but now I was sitting in the seats that only important people and people in trouble sat in. Josh sat in one of these chairs. Only this was different, I had played everything by the book with Zach, no sneaking out, nothing done behind closed doors; I had been the perfect hostess. Zach. What if this was about him? What if something had happened? I was going back down the same track that I had when Mum first mentioned 'the talk' and I was just as nervous now as I was then.

I slowly walked towards the chairs my Mum's face still hadn't changed, still solemn, focused and scary. I couldn't show her how scared I really was so I sat down so that my knee wouldn't give way and my well hidden fear have an escape. I sank deep into the chair, wondering how many other girls had been in the exact position that I was in now. I knew Josh had, but he wasn't a girl. Maybe Gilly herself had sat in the exact chair that I was in now. While I contemplated the possible Gallagher girls that had been were I was, my Mum just sat there, as if she was waiting for me to start. I looked at her, she looked at me, but neither of us spoke.

When the silence was into its 4th awkward minute, the doors flew open, I was expecting Bex or Liz or even Macey coming through the doors to my rescue. But not, I should know by now that at a school for spies you have to expect the unexpected. Walking through the door, as if he was walking into his classroom not a private meeting, was Mr Solomon. My Mum seemed to sigh in relief, but I tensed up, and I'm sure that Bex, Liz and Macey have tensed up as well. No one wants their favorite teacher listening in on their private talk with their Mum.

"So Ladies, what have I missed?" He walked up to me, reached down to my shirt and pulled my button off. "Cammie, what part of private conversation do you not understand?" What part of private conversation did I not understand? He was the one who barged in on my conversation with Mum. "Bex, Liz and Macey, try hiding the Coms unit in a better place next time, but nice work Liz, looks good." And with that he threw it out the window. Liz had spent the whole half hour that we had working on that, and it was one of her best pieces of work. She was going to be shattered, it would take weeks for Bex and I to convince her that she could make another one.

"Ah Joe, we were just waiting for you, we are about to start, please sit down." My Mum had invited him to join our talk; he was meant to be here. Now I had heard everything. What could Mr Solomon have to tell me that was so important that he would need my Mums help? Or maybe he needed to tell us both something, like something about my Dad. That was something that affected us both, and its something that Mr Solomon would know about because they were friends. Maybe I had finally been cleared to know about it, I was finally going to know what happened to my Dad. I was getting excited, before I was worried for nothing, it wasn't bad news that I was going to be told, I was going to be told about what happened to my Dad. "Cammie, did you hear me?" wait, what did she say, I was too caught up in my own world to notice what she said.

"She said you have to leave in the morning." Leave, where was I going, did I do something wrong again, did I have to go back to the CIA headquarters. They were both looking at me, expecting me to know what they were talking about. I had no clue.

"Where am I going?" I know that I sounded stupid but it was the only way that I was going to get any information out of them. And yes I was meant to be a spy, but the whole see everything and hear everything, that only works when you are totally focused. It won't work it you are thinking about your long lost father.

"You're leaving to go on the mission in the morning." What on earth was my Mum talking about, I'm only 17, I barely passed cove ops and now they're sending me on a mission. No I must have miss heard.

"What are you talking about? I'm not going on any mission." My voice was dripping in worry. How could anyone trust me on a mission?

"Cammie, the CIA requires your skills to go on a mission. The future of the world depends on it. We have no more details. All we know is that you are being loaded onto a bus in Roseville, at 7:00 tomorrow morning." Mr Solomon was talking to me as if I was a child. As if I knew nothing, but he was the one who was asking me to go on a mission to save the world.

"But shouldn't Bex or Liz do it. They're much better than me. I can't do this. You can't trust me. I didn't event pass Cove Ops." I couldn't take it anymore. They couldn't expect me to do this. I wasn't used to the outside world.

"Look Cammie, it's not up to us. You were top of your Cove Ops class last year and you have more experience of the outside world than the others." More experience, yeah right, I just snuck out and got caught by her. "You have no choice, you need to go pack."

"But, but, but, I can't do it alone, I'm only seventeen." I was grasping at straws. I couldn't go alone that was true and although I was only seventeen I could take any grown man in a fight.

"You will not be alone, you will meet your partner tomorrow, and for the purposes of this mission you will be eighteen." I was going to be eighteen. I don't even look seventeen, how could I pretend to look eighteen. Who would my partner be? Someone I knew? Someone I didn't? Someone old? Someone young?

"You'll be fine. I believe in you. Now you need to rest. I will see you in the morning. Goodnight honey." And with that my Mum left the room headed for her own. That just left me and Mr Solomon.

"She's right you know." I knew it but I didn't want to admit it, I had no choice. "You have a big day ahead of you. Sleep well Cameron, we will see you in the morning." His voice sounded harsher than usual, maybe it had something to do with losing another member of the Morgan family. Imagine what that would do to Mum.

"Night." I was left in the office alone, still thinking about what had just happened. I was to go on a mission, a mission to save the world. I got out of the chair, I had been sitting in it for fifteen minutes although it seemed like an hour, it was the longest moment of my life. I opened the door and saw my three friends standing there, none saying a word but their faces told it all. Macey looked indifferent, like what she had just heard didn't matter, Bex looked like she might jump out of her skin she was that excited, and Liz, well she was busy trying to work out all the possibilities and the probabilities of the mission. They all had no idea what I was going through.

We walked back to our room; I could tell that they were busting to ask about it, to talk about it, just to know about it. I on the other hand was hoping that this was all a dream, and that any moment now I would wake up and everything would be normal. It had only been 15 minutes so there were still people up, Anna and Tina were discussing the best James Bond, while trying to find where Blackthorne was. The year seven's were still screaming and if they didn't shut up soon I would go in them and knock them all out.

We entered our room and walked straight to our own bed. I collapsed on the bed, Macey went back to reading her cosmos magazine, and Liz went back to studying for the COW pop quiz. But Bex just sat there with a goofy grin on her face. Finally she spoke. "WOW, Cammie, a real mission, you're so lucky."

"Yeah, sure lucky." My voice was riddled with sarcasm. I got off my bed and went to our joint wardrobe, by this time Bex was behind me and Macey was in front of me. I reached for my suit case, but Macey stopped me.

"There is no way you are taking any of your clothes, mine are way better and are just your size." I think this was the first time I had ever heard Macey offer help to another, at her expense.

"We can't let you go out there and make a fool of yourself." Liz has some great words of advice sometimes. NOT!!!

"Now you heard Mr Solomon, you need your rest; you have a big day tomorrow. Let us take care of everything." I could tell she was being genuine, I loved having friends like Bex, she was always there for me, and I trusted her.

"Thanks" I muttered as I climbed up into my bed.

"No problem, that's what friends are for." They all said this at once, making me feel that I will always be loved somewhere.

I fell asleep thinking about how lucky I was to have fiends like them. But I couldn't stop thinking about the mission, and what was going to happen tomorrow. One thing was certain; I was not coming back to Gallagher Academy for a long time.
