Ok so I know I said that I would tell you about the mission in this chapter but I got a better idea and so that will come a bit later in the story.

I'm still in the lead with my friendly competition but I need you help so review review review.

All this belongs to Ally Carter no matter how much I wish Zach was mine

OUR HOUSE

Cammie POV

The Automatic doors shut behind us and the train speed away, this was it. Crossing Hill Station was nothing like the grand station at Lothian. The station had one rectangle building and a green seat. On the out side wall of the building was a map stand, I'm guessing not many people used it because it was covered in dirt and had cobwebs in the corners. We were the only people at Crossing Hill Station so we were free to talk about the mission. "Do you think that's where we have to pick up the map to the house from?" I pointed towards the map stand as I asked Zach

"Yes Cam, but do you have the key, I didn't get it." Now I was really confused, I didn't get the key and neither did he so how were we meant to get into 101 Flattery Street. We walked up to the map stand and picked out all the maps of the town surely one of them would have the answers to our problem. I reached for the first one on the pile and Zach took the rest. I read it. All it had on it was the name of the town 'Crossing Hill' and the local attraction, yes I say attraction in singular. The town was obviously not a great tourist spot, which is a good and a bad thing for us. The town is so normal that anything suspicious would be picked up immediately. I read the map more closely 'Crossing Hill and its famous Station are a great place to visit for a trip or for a lifetime. There are many great facilities in Crossing Hill for more information please call 1800-55-88 or look at the key in the corner of the map.' Well this is going to be an interesting town, with the station as its main attraction I can see why we were the only ones to get off the train. Wait a minute; I missed something thinking it was only a typo. Instead of reading 'corner of the map' it read 'corner of the mat' to an untrained spy this would me a typo, but to me, it was telling us how to get into our new house.

"I think I know where the key is." I showed Zach the map. I took all the maps off him and put them back into the map stand for the non existent tourists to have. "So Zach shall we go look at this town."

"I think we may, as long as there is a Gazebo I'm happy." We laughed; I think I have had enough romance in Gazebos for one life time. I don't want to end up like Liesl from the Sound of Music, single and in love with a Nazi.

"Oh no, no more Gazebos for me thank you. I think I need to move on to something bigger." We both laughed and I picked up my bag. We were headed off on the greatest adventure of our lives and there was no stopping us now.

It was only a two block walk and we could have made it in no time but we didn't want to blow our cover so we strolled along looking out for anything of interest. We got a few sideways looks and little old ladies peeping out of the curtain at us, no doubt that we would cause some uproar in a small town like this. Two people still at school moving in together away from there family, there is nothing wrong with that picture at all. "I guess that we are going to be the talk of the town." I was only stating a fact but it felt harder saying it out loud then accepting it in silence.

"What do you expect, the biggest news that they probably get is old Mrs. Norris down the road died, or local Station gets new cobweb." His tone was joking, but everything he said was true, we were big news no matter how you looked at it. "I bet that tomorrow's paper will say something like 'Crossing Hill, Youth Hotspot.'" We both laughed hoping that time would pass faster if we had fun. It was nice, laughing carefree, dancing along in the streets just the two of us, no Bex in my ear, just me and Zach. WHAT WAS HAPPENING! I told myself that I was to only focus on the mission; I was not going to fall in love with Zach. I just couldn't. "Cam are you ok? You look dazed." He took my bag off me, he had a concerned look on his face.

"Sorry, I was just thinking" I smiled weakly and he went back to walking next to me. I could see his eyes dart towards me every now and then. I couldn't help but wonder if he really was concerned or was he just acting. Gosh everything is so confusing. Couldn't my life be simple, normal school, normal parents, normal, normal, normal. Life would be so much easier. But if I had lived in a normal life I would never have met Zach or Josh. WHY IS LIFE SO HARD?

"What were you thinking about that made you look all, out of it?" This was something that I wasn't expecting I couldn't tell him that I was thinking about how much I love him. So what could I tell him? That I was thinking about the mission from a Liz point of view, or maybe I just tell him something random like I left my stilettos at home. But none of that sounds like me.

"I was thinking about what it would be like to live a normal life. You know, normal parents, normal school, normal friends. Don't you ever think about that?" That was the half truth, and it's not like he's going to know the difference.

"Cam I want the truth, I don't want some random thing that you thought up to stop me from knowing the truth." How did he know that's not what I was thinking? Unless he can read minds there was no way to tell that that was a lie.

"How do you know that that wasn't the truth?" I turned to face him waiting for him to back track, to take back his remark. But he didn't.

He turned to face me our eyes met and suddenly I knew the answer. He pointed to himself "spy." It was just like when we first met, he knew everything about me and I new nothing about him. "So Cammie are you going to tell me what you were thinking about, or am I going to have to guess?" I didn't answer, if he thought that he had all the answers then he could guess what I was thinking about. I kept walking in the general direction that we were walking in before. "Ok so I'm guessing. Were you thinking about Bex Liz or Macey?" I shook my head and he continued on guessing. "Were you thinking about the mission?" Well I sort of was so I raise my hand and give him the so/so sign. "Ok so it's something to do with the mission. Were you worrying about what could go wrong? No of course you weren't, that's more of a Liz thing to do. And you weren't thinking about who we were out to get because that's more of a Bex thing to think about." How did he know my friends so well? He hadn't spent that long with them and they hardly talked. This was just weird.

"How do you know so much about my friends? And don't just answer 'spy'." This gave him no way out; he was going to tell me the truth for once.

"But that's how I know, its part of my job to find out about you, just like what you did with Josh. You researched him, and I researched you. Gallagher Academy doesn't do a very good job of protecting their student's information; Jonas cracked it within two hours." He sounded proud at the last part. I knew Jonas was smart but if he could crack it lots of other people could, meaning lots of other people could find out about Gallagher, and this mission.

"Why would Jonas want to break our codes? It's not like you didn't know about us or anything." I was in shock; the first thing that ran through my mind was that the girls could be in danger, but then who would the boys tell. The next thing was how much they knew, they probably knew that Liz's parents weren't spies, but that was obvious with her coordination skills, they would know that Macey's Dad was the senator but everyone knew that. So what did they break our codes?

"Well it was after we first tailed you, and he did it because he was asked to do it." He was asked to do it, but by who. Is that what this mission is about, are we meant to make the person forget all about Gallagher. But why would it be after they tailed us? Did we get seen by other people?

Panic was written all across my face, I didn't know what to do. "What? How could he do that, we could get found out." I was rambling so I just stopped speaking. I couldn't understand how Jonas could give away a nation secret like the Gallagher Girls.

"Cam calm down. Nothing is going to happen because, well, I don't know how to tell you." Just spit it out I'm having a panic attack over here and you're worried about wording. "Well it wasn't any one bad who asked Jonas to crack the codes. It was me." He looked sheepish and started walking quicker trying to get away from me.

It didn't work I caught up to him in no time. "Wait you're telling me that you wanted information about my school. But you already know everything." I looked at him confused and angry. He spied on us, all of us. Who knows what he knows. We'll probably have to move our location because of him. Change our whole way of life.

"I didn't want information about the school; I wanted to know about its students. That's how come I knew everything about you. How your grand parents live in Nevada and in your cover you had a cat named Suzie." I was dumbfounded, he broke into my school records to find out more about me, he broke international laws to find out about me. I was so angry and yet a part of me was touched that he went to such lengths to find out more about me. "I'm sorry Cam, I didn't mean for you to find out. I just wanted to know… I wanted to know if my tour guide knew what she was doing." He smiled as he finished but it didn't help. He did the same thing as what I did with Josh. Zach got to know the subject, and the subject was me.

We walked about another two hundred meters before we came to Flattery Street. It was a nice little street that intersected the main street; our end was right down the end near a park and a pond. On either side of the street there are houses. All of the houses look the same as each other, no variations, and no individuality. To our left was number eighty-nine, it had a black roof and was two stories high. It had a large yard and no fence out the front. There was a path that led up to the plain front door. "Oh look its dullsville. Are you sure that colour isn't illegal?" This was Zach's attempt at a joke, it wasn't funny and I still wasn't talking to him. He broke all the laws in spy history just to find out about me. Our house was six houses away; I wanted to get there as soon as possible.

"It's this way, we don't have far left. Do you want me to carry my bag?" I was perfectly capable of doing anything that he could.

"I'm ok with the bag for now. Oh and Cam, I'm really sorry about hacking into the school records." His apologies shouldn't make a difference, but he seemed truly sorry for what he had done. That still shouldn't make a difference, what he did was wrong. It was against spy policy.

"Yeah, I know." I sounded unimpressed and he looked slightly upset. "Hurry up Zach I'm hungry I didn't eat at the stop. All I've had all day was bubblegum from bubblegum guard." He laughed at the memory of bubblegum guard. The last time Zach had seen him was on our test, he was one of the henchmen. We continued walking up the street past all the houses until we reached 101. We were standing on the foot path looking up at our house. It was two stories with a black roof. It looked like number eighty-nine but bigger. Our house was one of the biggest houses in the street and it was only for Zach and I. "Well this is it." It was all I could manage. The house was so wonderful that words couldn't describe it.

"It certainly is, shall we go in and check out the pool and air hockey table?" I couldn't wait, this was all mine. I could see that this could be fun and a lot of hard work. How was I going to be able to keep the house clean? I hadn't cleaned much all my life, sure I could kill someone with a feather duster, but use it to clean the mantle and I was out of my depth. But no matter how much cleaning it took, I was looking forward to seeing what the house was like.

"We shall, I want to have the best bedroom. The one with a nice view, easy escape roots, and of course the one closed to the bathroom." We both walked towards the front door it was a black door and suited the style of the house. Just in front of the door was a door mat, I flipped over the corner of the mat and saw the key lying there in the sunlight. I picked it up and held it in my hand, the key to the future. I slotted it into the lock, it fitted perfectly. "Do you want to do the honors?"

"It would be my pleasure." He took the key and turned it; the door opened smoothly and revealed the most beautiful hallway that I had ever seen. The floor was a dark wood, the walls were white with decorative sculpture at the top and at the end of the hallway was a set of stairs that led to the second story. "After you," Zach stood back and signaled with his hand for me to lead the way into our house. I stepped through the door way and headed straight for the stairs. I needed to assess the location and find any points of vulnerability. This I could tell would be an interesting mission.

I made it to the stairs and Zach was still standing in the door way. "Let's go Zach, your letting a draft in." He shut the door and put the key on the side board in the hallway. I started to walk up the steps and Zach followed me. We got to the top of the stairs and what I saw shocked me. There were five doors, two down each side and one at the end of the corridor. I knew that two would be bedrooms and one would be a bathroom, but what were the other two? I opened the door on my left, it was bedroom number one, it was simple, one double bed, a closet and a desk with a laptop on it, and under the desk I could see a soccer ball. I was guessing but I think that this might be Zach's room. I shut the door and opened the door to my left. It was bedroom number two; very much like bedroom one but it had a bookshelf instead of soccer ball. So know I had seen the bedrooms I was moving on to the mystery rooms. I opened one of the doors, it was a communication room, it had laptops, phone lines and almost every other gadget imaginable, all of which I guess are going to be used for contacting the schools. I left that room and went to the other mystery room; I opened it and saw that it was empty except for a lounge and a coffee table. I was slightly disappointed, I was hoping for a wepons and gadgets room instead of a plain room.

"You know the wepons are probably hidden behind the wall, there's got to be a switch somewhere." Zach scared me, I didn't notice he was behind me until he spoke, how long had he been there just watching. He walked up to the coffee table and flicked a switch that was underneath it, as soon as he did it the wall flipped and I saw everything that I spy could want, even Coms units better disguised than some of Liz's. Zach knew exactly where everything was, almost like he had been there before, or maybe it could just be because he watched too many 'Men In Black' movies.

The wall flipped back into place and Zach and I left the room. The last room left was the one at the end of the corridor. I was pretty sure that it was going to be the bathroom. I opened the door and what I saw was the biggest bathroom that I had ever seen. It had one wall completely covered in a mirror with two sinks along the wall. There was a shower and a bath and a toilet but I was too stunned at the mirror. It was huge. I walked out of the bathroom and down the stairs, where I sat on the bottom step.

"So Cammie, what do you think of the top story of the house? Pretty nice isn't it." He sat down next to me, he smiled warmly and I didn't know how to respond. It was more than nice, it was perfect and I hadn't even seen downstairs. "Come on, let's go look at the rest of the house. I want to see the pool table." He grabbed my hand and dragged me up, we wondered around the house and saw the living room, dining room, kitchen and of course the pool room. We had seen the whole house and it was dark. I went outside to look at the stars and Zach came with me. "It's nice out here."

"Yeah, I love looking at the stars; it reminds me about how many people don't know. Just enjoy life, forget about worries live a normal life. By looking at the stars it gives me a chance to be normal, even if only for a few seconds." I was still looking up at the bright stars that could be seen. Zach just nodded his head and looked around the backyard. Something caught his eye, and I saw that he had an idea, an idea that could be dangerous.

"Hey Cammie, how bout a swim?" he looked at me and I began to run back to the house.
