We collapsed into bed, falling into a deep, exhausted slumber.

Cammie's POV

I woke up, leaving my eyes closed. Zach's chest was blocking the sunlight from my eyes, but I could tell it was morning from my internal clock. Zach was still sleeping, breathing deeply in and out. I let out a big sigh and rolled over – my arm had been bent in an odd position underneath me.

Zach's heartbeat changed and he woke up. He groaned and went deeper under the covers, pulling me closer. Seems like neither of us felt like facing reality today.

I would be perfectly happy staying in bed all day today. But unfortunately, Zach wouldn't have that.

"Cammie. Wake up." He sat up groggily, placing a hand on my cheek. I didn't budge.

"Cam." He shook my shoulder gently. I swatted his hand away.

"Let's just sleep all day..." I drawled out. Zach chuckled.

"You know I wish we can, Gallagher Girl. But we have a mission to finish. We need to find everybody and get them back." He said.

I harrumphed and sat up, glaring at him. He rolled his eyes and smirked, and pointed me to the bathroom. I stomped off and sat down, my head spinning a bit. I sat there and stared off into space, thinking about everything and nothing.

"Cam?" Zach knocked on the door. "Did you fall asleep again?"

I snorted. "No. Just...thinking."

I heard Zach slide down on the other side of the door, his back separated from mine by inches of wood.

"About what?"

"Everything and nothing."

"That makes sense."

"It's true."

We were silent for a few minutes, and I focused on his breathing.

"We'll get them back, you know?" He said quietly. I bit my lip and nodded, but then realized he couldn't see me.

"Yea. I know." I sighed. "I just hope it'll be before any of them get hurt."

"Me too."

"I love you, you know." I smiled.

He laughed. "I know."

I rolled my eyes and stood up, going to shower.

Zach's POV

"Everything and nothing." She said. I so badly wanted to reach through the door and hold her.

"That makes sense." I retorted.

"It's true."

We shut up for a few minutes, listening to each others' heartbeats and breathing.

"We'll get them back, you know?" I leaned my head against the door, closing my eyes.

"Yea. I know." Cammie sighed. "I just hope it'll be before any of them get hurt."

Typical Cammie. Always thinking of others before herself. "Me too."

"I love you, you know." I heard her voice through the door. I laughed happily.

"I know." I teased.

She went to shower, and I plopped down on the couch, waiting for my turn. The shower quickly turned off, and I hid next to the bathroom door frame. The door swung open, and I quickly stepped in front of her, making her gasp.

"I love you, you know." I mocked her, kissing her wet neck.

"I know." She taunted. "Now get off me – I don't even have clothes on."

I pulled back and winked at her.

She scoffed and pushed me into the bathroom. I showered and changed, and got out to see Cammie wearing a tank top, skinny jeans, and combat boots. She had let her hair dry naturally, so they tumbled down her back in waves.

"So, obviously yesterday was a trap. Now we have absolutely no lead on where to find them." Cammie said to me, looking up from her spot on the floor.

I sat down with her. "We seem to do this a lot. Brainstorm on the floor."

"We do, don't we?" She laughed.

"Actually, I need to be in a room with only natural light, it has to smell like lemons, there has to be calming music playing, I have to be wearing my thinking shoes, and...there has to be smart water." I said in a high nasally voice.

Cammie burst in hysterical laughter. "Never. Do that voice again." She gasped out. "And don't you mean thinking cap?"

"Nope. Thinking shoes. I don't wear hats." I said solemnly. She snorted and rolled her eyes, lips still upturned.

Suddenly, Cammie's phone rang. She jumped and took it out of her pocket, checking the collar I.D. She gasped and looked at me, eyes wide.

"...It's Bex."

"It might be a trap."

"Should I answer?"

I shrugged. "It might be a lead..."

So she clicked "Answer" and brought the phone hesitantly to her ear.

"Bex...?" She muttered into the phone. I put my ear on the other side of the phone, listening.

"You wish, don't you, dearie?" A voice sneered back.

Cammie cringed, sighing. "I knew it was too good to be true." She muttered.

"As a matter of fact, I do wish. Now where the hell are my friends?" Cammie demanded.

"Ah-ah, Cameron. Let's be patient, shall we? Good things come to those who wait." The man chastised her. Who the hell is he? I would have expected it to be my mother.

"Well, I'm waiting! Now just hurry up and get to the damn point." Cammie fingered her jeans, annoyed.

I patted her back, silently telling her to calm down.

"Nothing to tell. Just wanted to see how you were doing." The man mocked. Then he hung up. Cammie drew her phone away from her face and stared at it in a rage.

"Seriously?" She shrieked. She tossed it across the room and it shattered.

"Seriously." We whipped around to the same voice that was on the phone. A tall, dark man was standing in the doorway, and he smiled darkly at us.

He then dropped Bex, Grant, Liz, Jonas, Macey and Tristan down to the floor in front of him. All were bloody, bruised, and unconscious.

"Oh my god." Cammie sobbed, staring at them in horror.

"Don't worry, they're not dead." The man rolled his eyes. "Just...close to."

Cammie growled and sprung up. Suddenly, thirty-seven more Circle agents came up behind the man, including my mother. They stepped in front of our friends. I glared, fists shaking in anger.

"Come with us, and you can have them back." My mother said. Cammie looked down at everybody, and then back up to my mother. She looked at me, and I quickly lunged forward and grabbed her hand.

"Don't. Cam, look at me. You will not. Do this." I growled, cupping her face and forcing her to look me in the eyes.

It looked like she was about to say something, until she fell to the floor, shrieking. Her hand untangled from mine and I crumpled down with her, on my knees.

Shit.

Now? Really?

I looked up to see my mother holding a little device with a red button it, smirking.

I'm sorry this chapter was sorta-ish a filler!]: I'm having writer's block.

Saphy18: Oh my goodness, you're so sweet. Thank you so much.[:

hotchocklateaddict: Ahaha, I tried to make Emmy super sweet and innocent, because I feel like the world is lacking of sweet and innocent people today. XD We need more. The world would be a much better place! Lol. Thanks so much for reviewing.[:

minipcsmith123: I can imagine that too! :D But I think I'm going to give them a kid in the epilogue, because I don't really like stories based off of pregnancy. :/ Thanks for reviewing!

kgorange: Hmm, I'm not really sure! I don't see how Emmy will fit into the story, but I'll think about bringing her back![: And thank you, ahahah! I was kind of stuck (ahha..get it? 'cause that's the story name...ohk I'll stop...) on a way to get them out, and it was pretty ridiculous, because the only way I could think of was a giant slide connecting to the beach that they had to crawl up. I'm pretty sure I dreamed that...yea. I dunno. XD Thank you for reviewing!

Anon: Thanks so much![:

jenand1: Ahahah, thank you!

Code. Chameleon: LOVE YOU TOO, AHHAH. ...If that's what yer means. I'm not really sure. :/ If that's not what you meant, then that is embarrassing. But whatever. XD

FlamingRain: I know! :D Happy days.

RoyalCrown29: Miss-Modest-One yourself. :P I'VE READ YOUR STORIES. THEY'RE AMAZING. SO SHUSH. But seriously. They're really, really good. Uhm, I don't really think something like this can happen in real life, BUT YA NEVER KNOW. XD And I'm not really sure about Emmy![: A couple other people have asked this, too, and I really don't know. Originally, I didn't think Emmy would be coming back, but now I don't know. So possibly![: Thanks so much for reviewing!

lolls4: Thank you![:

B: They did save a lot of people, didn't they?[: I'm so proud of them, ahha. Thank you for reviewing! :D

AODiva1979: Thank you so much! :D

artemis7448: Wow, Emmy is so popular! XD A lot of people asked to put her back in the story, so she'll probably appear again sometime.[: Thank you for reviewing!

topXsecret: Ughmygod I love you. XD I seriously was dancing around my room laughing (no joke) when you were stalking my fanfictions. You're amazingly adorable.[: And it's not creepy at all. :'D Thank you so much for reviewing!
