Author's Notes: EPILOGUE TIME! YAY!
Ally Carter own The Gallagher Girls
Chapter Four
Cammie
I wake up from the sun's bright rays, streaming in through the large window. I narrow my eyes against the suddenness then sit up. I'm not in my hotel room. I'm cautious for a second until I remember last night. The Louvre, the heist, Zach.
Definitely Zach.
I smile at the memory of last night. It was perfect. I get up and find that the other side of the bed is empty. I search for my dress. It's uncomfortable but I have nothing else to wear. I quickly fix my minimal make-up and find a note left delicately on the counter.
Come down for breakfast, love.
-Z
I smile at the small gesture and exit the room.
Zach
I watch the door intently. Still no Cammie.
I fiddle with my bowtie. I know Cammie would have nothing to wear but her dress so I figured I wouldn't make her feel so overdressed.
At that moment I feel soft hands massage my shoulders. "Hey baby," she whispers in my ear.
"Hey yourself." I smile back. She sits down on the chair opposite me and places a napkin on her lap.
"Have a good sleep?" I ask.
"Better than good," She gives me a subtle wink and smiles down at the food in front of us.
"Jesus, Zach. We should go to Paris more often." She gasps as she places a chocolate croissant on her plate.
I nod in agreement. "Oh, you should read the front page," I gesture towards the newspaper in front of her.
She glances at the heading. "A Joint Effort: A pair of secret operatives were seen stopping an attempted heist that occurred at the Louvre last night." She reads, "Original title."
I laugh and begin to butter a small baguette. Damn, the food in Paris was killer. I could wake up like this every day.
We look up at the sounding footsteps of a waiter as he walks towards our table, "Can I interest the couple in a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice?" He asks.
We both nod. The waiter pours Cammie a glass and then walks over to me. I watch as the orange liquid quickly fills the glass. As he gently places my glass of OJ back down on the table, he accidently knocks the napkin resting on my lap to the ground. He doesn't seem to notice as he strides away to the next table.
I release a small sigh and bend down to pick up the fine material. I widen my eyes.
"Cammie," I mutter.
"Mmm?" She replies, clearly absorbed in the article she's reading.
"Is it normal for restaurant to have envelopes attached to the tables?" I ask.
I pull the envelope from under the table and read the bold lettering printed on the front.
MR ZACHARY GOODE & MS CAMERON MORGAN.
I quickly look for the waiter; he must have known this was there. I turn around and scan the small restaurant. He's nowhere to be seen.
Cammie looks up and lets her mouth hang open in a perfect O.
"Zach…" She says slowly.
"I found this under the table," I tear open the envelope and beckon Cammie closer. She leans over the table, elbows pressed on the edge.
ADDRESSED TO: Operative Goode, Zachary.
Operative Morgan, Cameron.
SENT ON: 14TH March, 2012. 1100 hrs.
Agents,
I wish to congratulate you both on the successfulness on your mission last night. You ceased the heist and caught four of the assailants.
I am aware that last night's events have resulted in a joint effort on both your parts.
You are both highly trained operatives and an asset to each of your respectful organizations.
My name is Malcolm Turner, the Chief Operative of a highly confidential spy organization, called The Circle.
As you both are aware, one of the larceners escaped the scene. The targets name is Matthew Renner. He is a well accomplished burglar and known to be the head of the most popular theft organization in the country. The whereabouts of Renner is yet to be confirmed.
Below was a small shot of Renner entering a dark van. The licence plate is slightly blurred.
Our sources suggest his organization is planning another heist.
I have spoken to Chief Operative Joe Solomon and Chief Operative Rachel Cameron. The head Chiefs of Blackthorn Elite and Gallagher. They have agreed to the terms of this assignment. Should you choose to accept: Operative Goode and Operative Morgan will be signed into The Circle.
The arrangement will be temporary, until the target is captured. From there, it is your choice if you wish to work for your original organizations or continue in The Circle.
I will be contact with you both. Thank you.
Chief Operative Malcolm Turner
The Circle
Cammie stares wide-eyed at the report. I feel my throat tighten. It takes us a few seconds to react to what we had just read.
"Tell me I'm not dreaming," I muttered.
"If you are then I am too," She shook her head in disbelief.
I quickly look over the report again. And again. How is it possible that the Chief Operative of a secret organization wants us?
I let my thoughts clear and finally look at Cammie. She began clutching my hand somewhere in the middle of reading the report.
"Cammie?" I say in a questioning tone. She knows what I'm asking.
She stares blankly at the piece of paper (Evopaper no doubt) in my hands.
"Cam?"
Her eyes slowly trail up to my face. Shock covering her features.
"I'm trying to say yes properly without my voice shaking," She murmurs.
I kiss her right there.
In a quaint restaurant. In front of tens of people. In the City of Love.
I was going to catch Renner and bring him to justice.
With my hot spy girlfriend by my side.
I let the thoughts ease into my mind. The amount of missions we would be offered after this.
It was the start of whole new relationship. One that I would keep forever.
No secrets.
No lies.
Just me and Cammie.
