Zach POV
'Thank you for tonight' I shook Mr Dahl's hand as we exited the restaurant.
'I look forward to seeing you on Saturday' He said
'Your car's here Mr Dawson' Grant said from behind
'Thank you' I nodded at him 'We will see you on Saturday' I smiled once more before climbing into the car. Once the door was shut and we were at least 100 yards away, we dared speak.
'WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE DOING HERE' Bex screamed punching the chair
'She's my partner' I glanced up to see Charlotte sitting cross legged on the other side of the car, her arms folded and her eyes burning
'You're on this mission?' Bex hissed
'I'm not the bad guy remember? And besides, your director wanted me here' She answered casually
'Why you?' I wondered
'We've been asking that question for 8 months' She had no playful tone...she seemed scared.
'So why did you call us?' I asked
'We need a way out...It's getting too risky' Charlotte gave a small shiver
'Where are we going now?' Bex asked
'Our place. Cam shouldn't be back there yet'
'How has she been?' I asked. Charlotte shifted her position
'Better. She doesn't scream as much or tries to run...she's good at undercover missions, and I mean really good...apart from...' Charlotte looked out of the window trailing off and biting her lip, stopping the secrets tumbling out. I glanced at Bex and she knew we needed to find out more...but maybe not now.
'So who's the guy?' Bex asked
'Alexander Dahl, student. He tries not to get involved in his father's work if he can help it. To be honest he wasn't our way in but…'
'But what?' I asked
'He saw Cam' She said simply
'Tiffany St James' Liz muttered from the front seat 'I'm sure that was her cover assignment during that exam evening'
'I remember' I smirked
'She panicked and said that name' Charlotte rolled her eyes. Then her eyes widened and she placed her hand to her ear. She was talking to Cam. 'Are you serious?' She asked into the air, she paused for a moment 'Are you okay?-' Her face morphed from worry into absolute dread 'Be careful Cam' she warned before removing her hand
'What's wrong?' I asked
'Alexander had an unexpected guest' She said coldly
.
We were all in Charlotte and Cam's apartment. The 3rd floor suite had a large open planned kitchen and living space, the white marbled tiles were excentuated by plum curtains. There were four doors on one side, three bedrooms and one bathroom. Charlotte said we could have a look around as long as we didn't go into Cam's or her rooms. Naturally we all wanted to.
'She still deserves some privacy before you rain terror on her' She rolled her eyes and made herself comfortable. It was past midnight now, we had all been having a few beers and relaxing on the sofas watching television.
'Jason Bourne could take on James Bond' Grant said taking a swig of his beer
'Bond would win over Bourne' Nick answered back
'Will you stop arguing?' Macey rolled her eyes from the sofa.
'Are you going to tell us anything?' Bex asked bringing up the old conversation
'When she gets back' Charlotte took a sip of her drink
'When should she be back?' I asked Charlotte who I noticed kept glancing at the clock or her phone.
'Soon' She said bluntly taking another sip
'When is soon?' I asked, then I heard movement outside.
'Go in the spare bedroom, all of you' She hissed as she moved towards the door. Everyone grabbed their beers and made it into the spare room. The door was slightly open and I could see Charlotte opening the front door.
'Had a nice evening?' She said cheery
'Sorry we were longer than expected' Alexander apologised
'It's okay. Everything good?'
'It was lovely. Thank you Alex' Cam said turning to face him.
'Look I'm sorry about-'
'It's fine. I hope you find out what happened. I'll see you later?' She asked. Alexander nodded and kissed her on her forehead
'Good night ladies' He called as he left. Charlotte closed the door and spun on Cam
'Well?'
'Well what? It was a fuck up tonight!' She exclaimed raising her hands
'Why?' Charlotte asked innocently
'Zach was here' Cam whispered wrapping her arms around her waist 'And then we got to his place…'
'Is it-' Charlotte pressed, worry in her voice
'Something more is going on Charlotte...this has happened too many times in one year'
'Luckily I contacted K so hopefully we won't be here much longer'
'YOU DID WHAT' Cam screamed
'This was meant to be an in and out mission Cam, it's gone on for too long!'
'Who's the contact?' Cam groaned
'I thought you'd be happier to see us Gallagher Girl' I smirked coming out of the room followed by the others
'Why are you here?' She hissed
'We were given this mission, apparently you two were struggling'
'We're managing' She snapped defensively
'Managing?' I chuckled 'Well it looks like I came in and got more information out of Mr Dahl than you had in months!'
'Not everything's a race' She snapped
'Enough' Bex snapped. She glared at me and then stepped towards Cam
'You promised that you'd stay out of trouble'
'I'm sorry' She said
'You lied again'
'Don't have a go at her' Charlotte said stepping forward 'We were following instructions that we were given, it's not our fault that someone's trying to ki-'
'Charlotte' Cam snapped
'What?' I asked stepping forward. Cam and Charlotte shared a look.
'Tell them' Charlotte shrugged. Cam bit her lip and looked at me
'Somebody's trying to kill me'
Author's note: It's not over! So Cam and Alexander didn't get to do the dirty, but who broke into his apartment? And why is Cam wanted again? Find out tomorrow xxx
