Chapter 7 (pick up)
"Cammie, calm down." Zach says to me as we walk through Central Park toward the Alice in Wonderland statue.
"I'm fine. I just want to know she's safe." I say more to myself then to him.
"She's fine. We'll see her in a minute." He puts an arm around my shoulders and guides me to a bench near the statue.
"Mace, do you see 'em yet." I say into my comms unit.
"Nothing and he's not answering. I swear that boy has a death wish." She responds as I see her and Abby stop and pretend to admire the statue.
"When the bloody hell did you start sounding like me?" Bex says from a food cart with Joe.
"When my friends life was put in danger." She replies. I tense at her words.
"Good job, Mace, freak her out more." Zach says under his breath.
"I see Kat." Abby says.
"Yeah but where are Hale and Liz." Macey says concerned.
"I see her." I say with a sigh of relief.
"Lizzy!" Bex squeals.
"Cover, Ms. Baxter." Joe coughs.
"Cam, what's wrong?" Zach asks me.
"Something's off. This was way too…" I wasn't able to finish my sentence because right then a big guy in black grabbed Liz from behind as another knocked the guy with her, who I'm guessing is Hale, to the ground.
"Liz!" I scream and run to go help her. Zach was at my side and I saw Bex in the corner of my eye.
Bex was fighting the guy that took out Hale and Zach was fighting another guy that came out of nowhere. I just kept running after the guy holding a cloth to Liz's face. Abby appears at my side but we both stop cold when the guy pulls out a gun and holds it to my smallest friends head.
"Come closer and I'll shot." He says in a gruff tone.
"If you were planning on killing her you would have done it already. You need her alive more than we do." Abby says.
"That may be, but she means a lot more to you than she does to me." A van pulls up and he jumps in taking Liz's limp body with him.
"No. No. We did not just lose her." I say. Everyone else ran up.
"Cam." Bex says seeing the look on my face.
"We lost her. How did we lose her?" I say not being able to focus.
"Guys he's gonna need a hospital." Macey yells getting our attention. A girl kneeled next to her as they looked over Hale's body.
"How are we gonna explain this one?" she says to herself.
"I'll call an ambulance." Joe says.
I look at Zach and all I can say to him is, "We have to find her. Whatever it takes, we have to find Liz." He nods and takes my hand.
"Macey, stay with Hale. Keep us posted. Bex, you Zach and I will go back to the base and start going through files, see if we can figure out who took her. Abby you and Joe try to follow them, use the traffic camera's work with the stuff here." I say.
"Excuse me but who put you in charge?" Abby says to me.
"Well do you have a better idea or any idea?" I snap.
"Let's move." She says after a minute.
"Abby, I kind of need an explanation to why one of the richest teenagers alive is this badly hurt!" Macey yells. I didn't stick around to find out what their story would be I took off, with Zach and Bex at my side. We had to find her no matter what.
Uh-oh. What did I just do? Oh well. Sorry for the cliff hanger but, yeah. Till next time.
