"Four people broke their cover." My ears twitched when I heard this. Solomon was looking directly at me, his eyes flicked over to Zach as well, then to two of the girls in our class. "I'm disappointed, I expected much more from them."

Bex stuck her hand up in the air, "How did you know if they did." I hadn't had a chance to tell Bex what Zach had said. After the last car came back we were all taken into the Cov Ops classroom and sat down for a talk.

"You may be trained to look after yourself Bex, but you are being graded on everything you do. Never think your not being watched." He turned his back to us, "You can go. Zach and Cammie, stay please." I looked sideways at Zach; his eyes were focused on a small dot on the far side of the room.

All I could think about was what was about to happen. I knew we had broken cover. "I'm sorry sir." I spoke softly.

"Learn from it Cammie, someone is always listening. But this is not what we are here about." Zack's eyes moved off the dot and onto Solomon. "Mr Roans is gone again. He is as naive as you are," his eyes lingered on me, "He may be a brilliant spy but he was never good at really seeing what is going on. However, he will think that we are checking up on him… but he won't suspect you."

"You want us to spy on a teacher?" I asked, I already knew the answer though.

"Cammie, you are the best we have. Zach and you work well together, but you can't let whatever is on your mind get in the way. Try to distance yourself from feelings." He paused and took a seat on top of the long table at the front of the classroom. "I don't expect you to 'spy' on him, but we are asking you to do what you do best… sneak around."

I did know the castle better then anyone, but I was kind of reluctant to show Zach around. Zach had barely spoken to me since we had been at school, I felt him stand up, and when I turned my head he was almost out of sight. When I looked at Solomon he raised his eyebrows and nodded his head in the direction of the door, as if to tell me to chase after him.
So I did.

I finally caught him in the elevator up to the ground level. I stuck my hand in between the doors, as they were about to close. He turned his back to me and leaned his shoulder against the wall. "Zach." I said softly.

"Cammie." I heard him say softly. He turned suddenly and spoke in a harsh but soft tone, "Cammie, I am a good actor, I have to be. But it gets to the point where I can't pretend anymore." My mouth desperately tried to hang open, but I kept it as tight as I could. He turned back around and didn't say anything else till we reached our destination. The doors opened and I walked out first. When I looked back, Zach was only just moving out between the doors. I turned back on Zach and began to walk towards the great hall.
"Cammie!" He called I turned and waited. I wanted answers. Yes, I knew Zach liked me but he never did anything about it. I wanted to know why. He took my hand and mumbled something along the likes of 'I can't believe I'm about to do this'. He pushed his body up against mine and we fell back against the wall. His lips fell quickly onto mine, as though he couldn't wait to have them there.

When I finally got the strength back in my arms I used them to push him off. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy that, but I didn't really want him to know that unless he… "Tell me what's going on!" I demanded.

"I thought…" He stretched his arm out and put his hand against the wall beside my head. He seemed to be re-thinking his words, trying to find the right way to say it. "Not this time." He took his arm off the wall and began to walk away.

"No." I said loudly, he stopped. "Do you, or don't you?"

"Maybe one day Gallagher Girl." Square one. I was never going to get a straight answer. "Let me know when you want to start snooping."

The hall was filled with people eating their breakfast, but I couldn't seem to eat anything. "Cammie," Liz looked at me with a worried expression, "Please eat something. Whatever happened, can't be that bad." I still hadn't told them, I wasn't really sure what happened myself.

I raised my eyebrows and stood up, Zach was sitting only a few metres away with a group of Blackthorne boys who had arrived for morning classes. I stopped suddenly when I got to him, Jonas nodded his head and Zach turned around to see me. I bent down and whispered in his ear, "Nine pm, front of my mums office," before walking out the doors.

The day went by quickly, there were many failed attempts to talk to me by Bex and Liz and many questions from teachers left not answered. I was trying to concentrate, not on Zach, but on how I was going to show Zach the secrets of the school without revealing too much.
I chose mum's office because I hoped that he wouldn't use it again to gain information, but then again… do I really know Zach?
I wasn't even sure how he was going to get back to the school, but if he wanted to help, we were going to do it at night.

At exactly nine I walked out of my mother office and into the hall where I saw him standing against the door. "Okay, I've been here for 30 minutes and you haven't come past… how did you get in there?" I smiled slightly; he was about to find out.
