Cammie POV:
00:30:02 has passed
Zach refused to leave my side because of the threat of the shadow (his clever name for the black clad man). Despite my protests that I was perfectly capable of handling myself in a fight, I still felt safer with him
around.
I did a sweep of Section 7 and then casually looked at the man with the binoculars inconspicuously speaking into a comms. unit.
He had just been buying a soda a minute ago wearing a stylish leather jacket instead of the rather beat up red coat he wore now. He walked down the aisle stairs towards the level Zach and I were on while
inconspicuously glancing in our direction. He didn't hide that very well, now did he? I tugged on Zach's hand and did my very best whiny southern accent,
"Come on Adam, I wanna go back to our seats." He understood what I was doing and replied, also southernly,
"Lead the way, Taylor." He swept his arm out in front of him dramatically and smirked. Sigh.
No matter what cover we put ourselves into the smirk always comes along. But I have to admit that it's kinda hot. Sometimes.
I walked toward the stairs where the man/tail was now stepping off of. I stepped around him as if I was going up that stairs but I "tripped", effectively bumping into him.
When he stumbled I put my hand on his should to "steady" myself but also slyly embed the world's smallest bug into the seam of his coat.
"Oh I am so sorry about that sir," I drawled," I am just so clumsy." He just smiled and said,
"That's quite alright. I can't be mad at a pretty girl like you anyways." At that Zach protectively wrapped his arms around my waist and smiled tightly.
"We don't want to cause this man any more trouble Taylor, why don't we leave him alone." He said.
I smiled again at the man and we kept on walking. He was our fifth guy. Now all i needed to do was get the quarter, that was slightly sticky for reasons i don't really want to know; and figure out some code.
"Zach," I started, "Do have any idea yet about this code we're supposed to be finding?" He nodded,
"I have a hunch." Could he be any vaguer?
"Come on Blackthorne Boy, don't go all mysterious on me right now." He simply smirked. Again. Tenth time and counting. Ugh. Whatever I can figure it out on my own. I would have used a tactic I can't say I'm too
proud about but I'm not really into PDA soo... ok I'll stop now.
I heard in my comms. Solomon congratualting Bex which is very rare for him to be giving out compliments. I found her in Section 7 and caught her sliding her hands into her pockets and getting up out of
her seat casually. I didn't say anything to Zach but kept climbing up the stairs towards Bex. I said,
"Oh! I love your bracelet!" Causing Bex to pull her hands out of her pockets. I leaned forward as if I was looking at her friendship bracelet Liz made her two years ago. She gushed,
"You do? Thank you! My friend gave to me awhile back." I pulled her hand forward, palm to palm, to "look at it better". When really I was taking the quarter from her hand.
"Oh that's nice. Well I've got to go. Nice meeting you." I said. I took Zach's hand and went to sit down where Bex had just vacated. He also completed one brush pass just then if you noticed. When we sat down he
briefly took his hand away from mine and fixed his pants. Slipping the quarter into his pocket and intertwining his hand with mine again. I glanced over at him before looking back at the baseball game going on
below and said,
"So I wanna hear about this hunch."
A/N: two days in a row! yay! review please!
