Chapter 5 – Old Man

Zach's POV

We reached a little town in the middle of nowhere called Ohio by the middle of the night. Most of the ride had consisted of Cammie 'singing' at the top of her voice purely to drive us mad. Drew fell asleep at 8:03pm and Cammie a little after.

I drove into the literally sleeping town and parked outside an inn. When I opened the door a rush of cool air rushed in and I slipped out and shut the door quickly. I heard a snore from the booking window. Slowing my steps I walked to the window quietly and just for my enjoyment banged on the window where an old man was sleeping. He jolted awake and took a look at me.

'I don't have any money on me son.'

Do I seriously look like a thief? Well at least its part of my job subscription. I smirked.

'No old man, I don't want your money. I want a room. The name's Grant Jonas. Room for three,' I said smugly.

'Room 21, here's the key. Don't make a mess, don't make a noise and don't bring pets, is that clear?' He said without looking down.

'As mud,' I replied getting a scowl from him.

I grabbed the key and headed back to the car.

I opened the door and doubled back. Cammie was leaning against the hood of the car.

'Finally you're awake. I couldn't hear myself think over your snoring,' I teased.

'I don't snore.' Great this is no fun.

'Are you sure Gallagher Girl? 'Cause I just spent almost 4 hours listening to you.'

'I should know yeah. Because neither Macey nor Liz tried to strangle me in my sleep like they did to Bex,' she said with a bit of a grin.

'That's probably because they couldn't hear you over Bex but I could because of my awesome spy skills,' I replied with my infamous smirk on, naturally.

'Nice to know how much you're up yourself,' finally a decent insult came out of that girl's mouth. Actually that's not much of an insult. But she went on. 'That man accused you of being a thief.'

'Yeah so,' I said, venturing in on what was going to be a tiring conversation.

'You sounded like you thought it was a complement.'

'Cammie, I'm an assassin. It's kind of in the job requirement,' I was deadly serious.

'Zach, you would never hurt me or steal from me or anything would you?' the worry on her face was killing me.

I put my arms around her waist and said, 'I would never do that to you Cam. Don't you trust me?'

'Maybe I will if you would care to explain why you have this.'

She held up a USB stick. What the hell was she talking about? I had never seen that in my life.

'What the hell is that Gallagher Girl?' I asked quietly.

'It's the stick that has everything on it about me.'

'Why are you carrying it around Cam? It's dangerous.'

'To let people like you steal it and give it to the Circle,' she said sarcastically.

'Really, you think I would do something like that to you?'

'Judging that I just found this in your pocket? Yes.'

'For God's sake Cameron, would I really do that to you? To you!' I roared.

'Yes,' she said quietly, walking away from my arms taking the key and USB stick with her.

The back door opened slightly and Drew popped his head out.

'What happened?' He asked blearily and I pushed him back in roughly and slammed the door shut.

So the window proceeded to shatter.


Hiya! So just made that up on the spot. What do you think? Review and tell me PLEASE! BTW It gets sooo much better! xx 3
