Chapter 3

I stopped what I was doing and so did everybody else. Bex looked at me curiously, "What's wrong Cammie?"

"Do any you guys know where Blackthorne is?"

"No, but I can find out." replied Liz

She started typing away on her laptop with a concentrated look on her face. Soon the printer next to her laptop started going off. Four sheets of paper came out and Liz grabbed them.

She, then, taped them together and there was the map of Blackthorne's location and their school campus layout. We stared in shock at Liz and she shrugged her shoulders. We laughed out loud and soon fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up and found Macey on top of my bed with a make-up brush in one hand and foundation in the other. I yelped out and ran into the bathroom.

I showered and looked outside in the bedroom before slowly coming out. Macey was busy helping Liz with her hair, so it was safe for me to change. I was in a pair of skinny jeans, a tank with a jacket over it, and ballet flats.

Bex was in skinny jeans, a long sleeve with a blazer over it, and riding boots. Liz was in boot cut jeans, a tee with a hoodie, and converse. Macey was in cargo pants, a gray tee, and slip-ons.

We grabbed our suitcases and headed downstairs. Chef Louis came out and gave us a 5-star breakfast. When we finished, we were greeted by my mom and Mr. Solomon,

"Okay, girls. It's time for all of you to go on your solo mission. Remember what you have learned in all of your classes."

Bex, Macey, and Liz piled into the limo. I stayed behind and hugged my mom. She gave me a kiss on the forehead and whispered, "I love you kiddo,"

"Love you too, mom."

I went into the limo and we started our mission, right then and there. We got to the airport and one by one we went through security and checked our bags. We found out gate and waited there for a few minutes before being seated in first class.

Macey and Liz sat in a row while Bex and I each had a row to ourselves. I stuck my duffel bag with all of my spy gear next to me and looked out the window. We went down the runway and started our flight.

I woke to Bex shaking me to get up. I rubbed my eyes and my vision cleared of its bleariness. I grabbed my bag after checking for any tampering. Once I was satisfied, we made out way to the exit.

Macey waved for a taxi and we headed into New York City. Liz gave directions to the driver and soon enough we were right in front of the gates of Blackthorne. Being the spies we are, we told the driver to drive a few blocks ahead, near the Waldorf Astoria hotel.

Macey checked us into a room where we set up our spy gear and equipment. Liz stayed behind at the hotel giving us directions through our comms units. We pretended to be regular girls taking a walk around the city.

Once we were behind the school, Liz gave us instructions to a secret passage leading into the school. I went in first and the three of us crept along the narrow passage until we reached the end.

I pushed against the opening and found that we were behind a painting. I peered out into the hallway and found the coast clear. Liz instructed us to the Grand Hall where the boys were having lunch.

Liz said she was going to pull a false CODE BLACK alarm on them so we could creep in unnoticed. We waited for a minute before the alarm went off and we furtively went in. Bex took one corner, Macey took another, while I went in the center.

We could see Dr. Steve near the podium. When the alarm went off, we hid in the shadows. Dr. Steve cleared his throat and began talking,

"Students, fear not! It was only a false alarm, not a true breach in security."

The next thing we heard was Liz's voice over the P.A., "Are you sure about that?"

"What?" asked Dr. Steve bewildered.

Next Bex came out, "Isn't this just excellent?"

Then Macey, "Yeah, what do you think doc?"

"I think it's really excellent." I said, coming out.

Dr. Steve stuttered but said, "Well, then. You girls really are good. May I ask why you girls are here?"

"It's a confidential matter."

"Very well, follow me."

We followed him into his office where we told him about our mission. He nodded his head and called for the guys we asked for. A knock sounded on the door and opened.

Grant, Jonas, Nick, and Zach came in who looked better than before. He smirked at me and I raised an eyebrow. Dr. Steve explained the mission and we all headed out of his office.

"So we're going on a mission alone?"

"Yeah, just the eight of us."

"Awesome!"

"Yup, but you guys have to pack first."

"That'll be quick,"

We followed them up the stairs and down a hallway. Shockingly their room was…
