Cammie's Safe House
Clarens, Switzerland, Montreux, Canton of Vaud
Following Day 7:30 A.M
Cammie's POV:
Oh my gosh! I felt pain on my shoulder again. I kept waking up during the night due to shoulder pains or nightmares. Nightmares revolving around last nights text. Why? Why us? I shifted in Zach's arms. We must have fallen asleep while he was hugging me. I felt a pair of eyes on me. Zach.
"Cammie? Sleep. We have more than an hour. Go to sleep." He said groggily.
"Actually, we have about an hour. If not half an hour." I corrected.
He shook his head, his brown locks covering his face. "We're at your safe house. We're safe. If anything I'll wake you up."
Now it was my turn to shake my head. "I'm never safe. In this profession, no one's ever safe." I said softly as if to soften the blow. What blow Cammie? He lives in this world. He's a part of it.
He smiled ruefully. "I know. But I'll do whatever I can to...well...protect us from at least some of the danger out there."
"Thanks." He let his head fall on the pillow.
"Ow! Shit!" He exclaimed. He looked under his pillow. "Oh. It's my phone."
"Your phone under your pillow? You really shouldn't do that." I chided.
"Oh, I know. I'm just afraid my phone will ring again with a text from that person."
"She, he, it. We really don't know anything. Wait! I think I can override the hacker's signal to pinpoint the location of where the texts are coming from. I'm no Liz but I can try." I offered. He sighed.
"Maybe later." He yawned. "Right now I want to sleep. And you're going to sleep with me." I arched an eyebrow.
"Wait! That came out wrong. You're going to sleep. And so am I." I laughed softly.
"Of course you did," I said.
"Wait. Are you suggesting we should?" Zach teased.
"Why not?" I shot back and laughed. His teasing smile vanished.
"Then maybe we should..." He said. I looked at him shooting him a questioning glance. I opened my mouth to say something but shut it completely when I felt his lips on mine. And I kissed him back. It was slow, sweet and passionate. He tasted of chocolate. Mm. I love chocolate. We pulled away.
We just stared at each other. Did we...
Oh my gosh. We actually kissed. He kissed me and I kissed him back.
"I'm sorry. Look, Cammie-" He started but I cut him off.
"No. It's fine. I mean that was nice." I blushed a dark red. Even darker than when Liz is embarrassed.
He smiled. "Goode. So you enjoyed that?"
"Yea." I smiled. "Maybe you were right. Maybe we should sleep." I closed my eyes. I felt his eyes on me.
"You do know some girls find it weird to have a boy watch them sleep? What are you? A peeping tom?" I asked a smile playing on my lips.
"Yep. Trained by the best peeping academy."
I laughed and opened my eyes to look at him. "That's..." I trailed off not wanting to say the rest. Because if I did say it, it would boost his ego.
"Hot?" He finished.
"No," I said although the blush on my cheeks betrayed me. He hugged me to his chest. I closed my eyes and let myself be engulfed in unconsciousness.
I woke up. Zach was no longer their though. The kiss...could he be regretting kissing me? I mean I'm nothing special. I'm not like cover girl Macey, Greek goddess Bex, or fairy Lizzie. I'm just...plain. I walked over to the vanity and brushed my hair. May I mention it was painful? I was debating whether I should let my hair down or put it into a ponytail. I decided to let my hair down.
Mm. I smelled food. Grant must be cooking. I was about to head out the door when Zach came in.
"Hey, Gallagher Girl." He shot me a grin. I smiled. I walked over to him and he slung his arm around my shoulders. I looked at him slightly startled. Then I smiled. We were moving quickly.
"Zach? Should we tell them after breakfast?" I asked.
Zach laughed although his laugh held very little humor. "More like brunch. But yes we should."
We walked to the kitchen his arm still around my shoulder. When they saw us they all, "Awwww"ed. Well, I'll be saying that to Bex's face in a short while. Once we finished breakfast (or as Zach had mentioned earlier brunch) we looked at each other.
I gulped. Liz was the first one to catch on. "What's wrong? Zach? Cammie?"
"Liz, what do you mean?" Preston asked.
"Their hiding something. But it's something they didn't want to tell us maybe. It's..." Liz started.
"Dangerous." Jonas finished.
They looked at us. I sighed. "Well... the thing is..." I hesitated.
"Thing is we're getting messages." Zach started. I smiled gratefully at him. It's out. Now we have me to tell them. Everything.
"What type of messages?" Bex asked.
"I don't know how to explain it. The messages are about the mission about us and some type of secrets we know." I said. "And they're always watching according to them."
"Are you serious?" Bex asked.
"Cammie? Can we see the messages?" Jonas asked. I nodded. Jonas opened his laptop and started typing. "I might be able to override the hacker's signal to pinpoint the location of where the texts are coming from. How does that sound?" Zach and I nodded. I gave Jonas my phone and he got to working right away.
"Can you show us the messages?" Macey asked. Since Jonas had my phone Zach showed them his messages. They said as follows:
She's something, isn't she? Well, you'll find out more later. Good luck. P.S Isn't London beautiful?
Already shot, Cam? Well. When once you know the truth, it's going to hurt more than that shot. Zach, Cammie I want you to be careful. Why you may ask? That's because I wanna see you suffer. Both of you. What lies ahead is dangerous. Well. You'll hear from me soon. Don't underestimate me. I'm always watching.
They looked at us. Their expressions all said the same thing: Damn
Liz went over to Jonas and said "Almost...yeah...there! Yeah! You've got it!" Jonas looked up at her and smiled. Zach raised his eyebrows. We went over to Jonas and Liz.
"What'd you two find?" asked Bex.
"An address," Liz said. The screen read: La Croix-de-Rozon, Genève
"We go there. Today." Bex said.
"We can't! The parties tomorrow and we need to go through The Subjects files. Plus we don't have time. It's in Genève" I countered.
"It might be over in Genève which is about 104 kilometers away from here but we can still try," Bex said.
"Actually we can't. And what I've found out about Noah he's an assassin-in-training under the care of the Clark's." Jonas informed.
"Plus, we have to get back to the Clark's residence. We can't risk our cover being blown." Liz added. Everyone else nodded. We packed up everything and went over to Liz and Jonas when Liz said worriedly, "Guys?" I looked at them questioningly We crowded over them and saw it. The screen read:
Wanted Dead
Cameron Ann Morgan
Zachary Goode
Rebecca Baxter
Grant Newman
Elizabeth Sutton
Jonas Anderson
Adam Callahan
Maya Mendoza
Joseph Solomon
I stared at the screen. They want us dead. And Adam. Oh god, Adam happened to be the Director's son and was wanted in several countries. I know Maya too. I've worked with both of them before. I saw our names were underlined which is why I said, "Liz? Click on one of the names."
Liz nodded and clicked on my name. And it opened a new page. And there was information on me. It read:
Cameron Ann Morgan
Current Status: Alive
Relationship: Single
Codename: Chameleon (classified to agents under level 6 clearance)
Relatives: Rachel Morgan (mother), Abigail Cameron (aunt), Matthew Morgan (father), Anna Morgan (maternal grandmother), George Morgan (maternal grandfather)
Rachel Morgan: Alive
Matthew Morgan: Dead
Abigail Cameron: Alive
Anna Morgan: Alive
George Morgan: Alive
Lethal: Deadly
Past: Earned codename by tailing Agent Matthew Morgan of the CIA through the mall to find out what she was getting for Christmas. Trained by Abigail Cameron, Rachel Morgan, Matthew Morgan, James Callahan (current Director of the CIA), and Joseph Solomon. Father went MIA winter of her 7th-grade year. Took down Circle Of Cavan Senior Year of High School with help of Agents Baxter, Mchenry, and Sutton. Killed the last heir of the Circle. Katherine eliminated. Completes every single mission successfully. Takes down organizations single handily successfully.
Notes: She is very successful and great in combat from what I've heard. After all, she was trained by the best. Too bad her Dad's dead. He would have been fun to torture...or kill. Might want to be careful when battling her because she is a very dangerous woman as well as a spy. Too bad she doesn't know. She is to be killed to stop interfering with our missions. Everything's connected. She just needs to piece it together.
I sucked in a breath as I read the part where he mentioned my dad. Then once I read the last four sentences I didn't know what to think. Everyone looked at me as if expecting me to break. I'm not a fragile piece of glass. I'm a Gallagher Girl through and through. I nodded and everyone went back to checking everyone else's file. it was almost 11 a.m. I looked around the safehouse and sighed. With one last glance, I walked out the door.
I got in the car and we drove to the Clark residence. Once we got inside, Noah dragged us to a corner and whispered, "Where were you, Emma and Liam?" He clearly still remembered what I'd told him. He looked at us expectantly.
"We had...some business to take care of," Zach said with a wink. He nodded in understanding. Well, he thought we had killed someone. That's good (in this case anyway). We went over to the gang. Noah popped up again.
"Ladies and gentlemen remember we have a party here tomorrow so I suggest you have everything ready." He looked at Zach and I and left. We exchanged a glance. We still had him fooled. We have everyone fooled. Good.
The girls took the guys and me shopping, sadly. I hate shopping. Macey got me this red dress with a strap that covered my shoulder where I got shot. Deja vu. Flashback to the ball. Bex got this beautiful navy blue cocktail dress. Macey got this beautiful blue dress that matched her eyes. Liz got a hot pink skater dress. And the guys got tuxes.
Once we got back home (or well the Clark's home) we all collapsed in Zach and I's room. Then all our phones rang signifying we had received a text. Zach and I exchanged a glance. Could it be...
So now you're all in this together. Too bad you won't see each other for long. Remember, I'm always watching. Your days are numbered. Soon you'll all be separated and desperate. Too bad you won't live to see each other for long. Although, would you mind doing me a favor? Eliminate Samuel. He's no longer any use to me. I got all the information I needed and I don't like having loose ends. Thanks. C ya soon. I'm closer than you think. ;D
We all took a sharp intake of breath. "Guys? Did you all...?" Liz trailed off leaving the question hanging. We all looked at each other.
"Yeah." Bex looked at me.
"Do you know what she means by 'all the information I needed'?" She asked. Realization dawned on me.
"It means she, he, it got to Samuel before we did," I responded. Everyone sighed frustrated.
Grant looked at Zach and I. "We have to search that address Jonas found." We nodded.
"Can it possibly wait a day?" Liz said. Grant looked bewildered.
"No! It's our only clue to finding this bastard!" He exclaimed. Bex placed a hand on his shoulder.
"We can't risk doing that. It would get Noah suspicious since we just got back. We have to wait." Bex said calmly. Grant relaxed into Bex's touch. Macey looked at Preston.
"We have to eliminate Samuel. I don't think it's a favor. It's a command." Preston said. We all nodded. Now for the party. We can pull this off. I sighed once more. Bring it on, bitch. I'm going to win in the end. You'll see. A pair of arms snaked around my waist. I turned in his arms and breathed him in. Zach.
"We'll kill this person, I swear." He said. He looked at me steadily. Green into blue. I shuddered in his arms. It was a statement of someone trained to do exactly that not that of a worried boyfriend? Guy?
"Don't. Don't say that." I looked at him. He shook his head and pulled me closer to him.
"I will." I was about to protest but his eyes were determined. I shut my mouth before saying, "Not if I get to this person first." He studied me before shaking his head once more.
"You're not...you're not a killer. You're not like me." I pulled his impossibly closer to me. "No. You're Zach. Not a killer. My Blackthorn Boy." The words tumbled out of my mouth.
"How'd you know? That I went to Blackthorn?" He was smiling slightly now.
I pointed to myself and said, "Spy." It seemed like such a Zachish move I just had to use it. He chuckled and placed his forehead on mine.
"We'll do this together." I looked at him.
"Of course." I looked at the others.
"We stick together," Macey said giving me a pointed look. I rolled my eyes. "We do this together. Ok?"
We all nodded before saying "Yeah!" or "Of course!" Zach was still clutching me. We will take this person and this damn freaking organization down. Even if we go down with it.
What'd you think? Ooh. This person already got to Samuel and took his files. What for? Who is this person? Why does this person want them separated and desperate? When? How long do they have with each other? Keep reading A Dangerous Game to find out.
