Hey everyone and thanks for the reviews!
I was really happy to see such a response and was glad to know that you all actually read my author's notes! I want to thank everyone who gave suggestions for Cammie's cover name: Kitasky123, Maysun Rain, x3lovefangx3, cleopatra82, happy-holly, ., D.L.V., leaps578, cuppycake-the-evil-cupcake, waterdiva2014, .cullenx19x13, bOoKwRm96, DAYLIGHT12 and Twilight113.
I ended up choosing one of bOoKwRm96's suggestions, mixed in with a dedication to Ally Carter, which you will find out later on in the chapter.
Now, on with the chapter!
Figuring Out The Mysterious Cammie Morgan
ZPOV
It was quarter to midnight when I left my room for Solomon's office, hoping to find something that would give some insight into Cammie Morgan. Jonas, Kirk and Grant were all sleeping soundly as I left the room and I hoped they would stay that way until my return.
The corridors of Blackthorne Institute for Boys were eerily silent at this time of night, so when I came to Solomon's office, the sounds coming from inside seemed rather loud. I pressed my ear to the door, making sure the hallway was clear and that I wasn't making a sound, before listening to what Solomon was saying.

"She's doing fine," I told Rachel honestly. "Though, she and the other girls had obviously done their research."
"What do you mean?" she asked in confusion.
"The girls knew who the boys were on their own," I explained what I'd figured out this morning. "I told them to take a seat next to a certain boy and I didn't even have to point out who they were – they already knew."
"Three guesses as to who got the information," she mumbled. "I really do wonder where she gets it from sometimes."
"You know how Cammie is," I sighed. "No one ever knows how she finds these things out. She just does. The apple never falls far from the tree, I guess."
"She's exactly like her father," she agreed proudly. "And you better make sure she stays out of trouble."
"I'll watch her," I laughed. "I'll try to figure out how she does it but I probably won't, even with my experience."
"Please, just try?" Rachel asked of me.
I sighed before agreeing, "Sure. Oh, before I forget, when's Cammie's next concert?"
"Why?" she asked cautiously.
"I'm planning the next CoveOps mission," I explained.
"Tomorrow night," she told me.
"Alright," I agreed before remembering something I'd been meaning to tell her. "You know, not a single boy from the last mission recognized her?"
"That's why Cammie's a pavement artist," she pointed out and I could hear the smile in her voice.
"It was a good disguise," I laughed.

There was another brief pause before he sighed again, "Sure. Oh, before I forget, when's Cammie's next concert?"
Cammie's next concert?
"I'm planning the next CoveOps mission," Solomon explained before another pause.
"Alright," he agreed before he sounded amused again. "You know, not a single boy from the last mission recognized her?"
Solomon laughed again.
"It was a good disguise," Solomon complimented.
Disguise?
That was when it clicked – the familiar smirk, the fact that Cammie was the only girl not at the concert and her strange answers to my questions. Cammie had been at the concert; in fact she was the only girl we hadn't found.
The singer was Cammie in disguise.
I grinned as I quietly crept away from Solomon's door and back to my room. I was on my way to figuring out the mysterious Cammie Morgan.

"Tonight," Solomon started as he entered the CoveOps class room the following morning. "We will be going on a CoveOps mission to another Lexi Carter concert."
Grins spread across Macey, Liz, Bex and my faces as we heard what Solomon said - another CoveOps mission and, for me, another concert.
"Make sure you're all ready tonight at 1730 hours," Solomon continued. "The helicopter leaves then and you better be on it."
Then, in true Solomon style, he left the room half an hour before the lesson ended. I didn't mind, though, as we'd be seeing plenty of him tonight.
It was my turn to show Zach and the other Blackthorne Boys what us Gallagher Girls could do.
I know it's short but I wanted to leave you in suspence for the next chapter and you were all asking for me to update sooner but it makes the chapters shorter!
How'd you all like my first try at Solomon's point of view?
I got asked some questions after the last chapter that I can't answer as the person who asked them did it by anonymous review and the only indicator as to who they were was D.L.V. as their name. In order for D.L.V. to still get their answers, I'm going to answer them here and hopefully they'll get to see them.
Q: What song was Cammie singing in the first chapter? Was it pop/rock/country/etc.
A: When I wrote the chapter I didn't really have a particular song in mind. However, it would have been something up beat that she could dance across the stage through and have the crowd cheering and joining in. Therefore, it would have most likely been a pop or rock song.
Q: Was it a song she wrote herself or was she just singing another singer's song?
A: During the first chapter, the song Cammie was singing was one of her own but like I said in the last answer I didn't have a particular song in mind. Cammie's auto ego isn't extremely famous (yet) but she does write her own songs rather than singing someone else's.
I hope that answers D.L.V.'s questions. If anyone else has any questions they want me to answer in my next post, send them to me in a review and I will happily answer them.
Review,
Mel :)
