Chapter 3

Crap. The room was a mess. It was just like when Macey, Liz and Bex were convinced we would be going to Rome. We managed to make huge chart with flash cards with labels.

Each of our names were on flash cards that connected us to out different strengths.

For example, Macey's connected hers to JET and FRIEND OF SUBJECT.

"No matter how many times we go through this it doesn't work. We need a new strategy. A full out attack on the embassy would be suicidal, sneaking in would be almost impossible, and we don't know how they would react if we walked right in undercover." I said, sounding dejected.

"I think the last option has the most potential." Macey said, not wanting to give up on her kind-of boyfriend.

"Yeah but we don't know how they would react if we just walked right in. And we don't have a way to get Preston out with just you going in." Zach said, pointing out the obvious.

That was another plan Macey had suggested. She could walk right into the embassy because she was kinda dating the Ambassador's son, and then could convince him to leave with her. I thought there was some potential in it, but Macey going in without backup would not be a good idea.

I had learned the hard way over the summer that going on a mission without backup could have serious consequences, like being tortured by the Circle.

So we need either a fresh perspective or more people to help with this kidnapping.

Bex practically read my mind.

"We need backup." Bex stated, obviously hoping we could tell my mom, Mr. Solomon and aunt Abby what we were planning.

"Your right but the adults would never let us go. Not if it put any of us in danger. And they would never approve of kidnapping an Ambassador's son not matter how evil his daddy is. They would just want the CIA to handle it. You know that Bex." Liz said, sounding annoyed with herself.

Liz was smart. She wanted to know how to kidnap Preston, not get into trouble for doing it, and do it soon. She was also a pretty impatient person.

"But who else can we call that wouldn't bust us?" Macey asked, sounding tired and sad.

We were all quiet, but I knew who we could and should call. They would help us and not blink an eye at how terrible this seemed. Zach seemed to realize this too.

"Cam, no. We can't call them. We don't know who we can trust there." Zach said quietly to me.

"They're your friends Zach. And for a while they were ours."

We were obviously not as quiet as we thought because Liz said, "Who are you two talking about? Who is Zach friends with? Someone from the Circle? Or the CIA? Because there are moles in the CIA."

Liz kept blabbering on until I interrupted her.

"No Liz. We mean getting the Blackthorn boys to help."
