Cammie POV

'Flight 829 to Nebraska will be departing from gate 50' The overhead speaker came on. I was sitting in the airport, reading a magazine, but not actually reading it. I was observing. I needed to know if I had a tail. So far, nothing. My hair was in a high ponytail and under my baseball cap and I had dark glasses on. No one would recognise me. I was getting ready to move from my seat towards the gate, when I heard a voice that made me stop.

'Where should we start?' I sat back in my seat and looked towards my left casually where the voice came from. I say my best friend in the whole world walking through the terminal with Macey by her side.

'Joe said that she wouldn't stay for too long' Macey said. Fuck. Joe must have phoned them...but they must have been looking for me anyway. It's only been about an hour since I spoke to Joe. Meaning that they were coming to get me anyway. My heart was racing and I tried to level my breathing. Then somebody sat next to me. It was Grant.

'Maybe she's already gone' He mumbled. They have to be on comms. I tried to concentrate on my magazine.

'Maybe we should split up. Some stay in the airport, some go out to find her' Macey suggested. Her and Bex had made their way over to sit with Grant. Macey gave me a once over, she didn't recognise me. Somehow I felt sad, one of my best friends didn't recognise me, and I was sitting next to them. On the other hand, I felt really happy because I'm the Chameleon therefore, I shouldn't have been seen. I am successful in my mission.

'I agree.' Bex said 'Zach?' She asked. They paused.

'We have a better chance of finding her if we split up' Grant said. They paused again.

'Now that we've agreed. Let's go' Bex said. All three of them got up and disappeared in different directions. I let out a long breath which I didn't realise that I have been holding. I took this as my chance to leave, I walked towards my gate, handed over my ticket, got onto the plane. I sat in my seat constantly looking around me in case Jonas or Liz had run facial rec and seen me board, or that Eric or Catherine would come and sit next to me. I waited, and waited. Then…

'Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking, we will now begin our departure from Vegas towards our destination Nebraska. Thank you all for flying with us, we hope you have a pleasant journey'. The plane began to move. I was going home...

Zach POV

Things just got a lot more complicated. Joe said that Cammie contacted him and that she wasn't going to stay in Vegas long. This means that we have to find her. Fast. We thought that as soon as we arrived, we would check out the airport, considering if she wanted to go anywhere, she would most likely go here. We separated. We had our comms. Liz was filing through surveillance to see if Cammie had got onto a flight yet.

'Where should we start?' Bex asked. She, Macey and Grant were in one end of the terminal whist Me and Preston combed through the other half.

'Joe said that she wouldn't stay for too long' Macey said.

'Then we need to look' I said

'Maybe she's already gone' Grant mumbled

'We don't know that' I retorted

'Maybe we should split up. Some stay in the airport, some go out to find her' Macey suggested.

'I agree, Zach?' Bex said

'It's better if we stick together in case Eric or Catherine are here'

'We have a better chance of finding her if we split up' Grant said

'They're right Zach' Preston said to me. I looked at him in the eye. He was right. They were right.

'Fine' I gave in 'Preston, stay and find Cammie here with Grant and Macey. Bex and Liz, meet me at the taxi ramp in two minutes'

'Now that we've agreed. Let's go' Bex said. I made my way to the taxi ramp where Liz was already waiting. Her laptop balanced on her luggage. She didn't look up when I was next to her.

'I've gone through footage of the accident, and I've found her going into a bar about 15 blocks from the scene'

'Let's go there, show her photo, someone must have seen her' Bex said

'TAXI' I called. When we got in Liz gave the driver the directions and we were whirling through the streets of Vegas. Soon we came to the bar.

'Update' I said into the comms.

'Nothing' Grant said

'Ditto' Macey said

'Still looking' Preston added

'Keep us updated' I said before walking into the bar. Bex took the lead and walked up to the bar tender

'Excuse me sir' She said in her best American accent 'Have you seen my friend, I was meant to meet her and got delayed' She produced a photo of Cammie on her phone

'Yeah she was here. Talking to some fella'

'Is he still here?' She said, the bartender looked around.

'That guy in the booth' He said pointing over his shoulder. Bex looked over, suddenly her face clouded with thunder.

'Thank you' She said sweetly before marching across the bar to the booth. Liz and I followed 'Well, well , well, isn't this a surprise?' She slid into the booth. When I got there I realised why she was angry. It was Josh.

'Ummm hi Bex' He said worried, then he saw us coming 'Hey Liz, hey Zach. Please sit.' He lifted his drink to his mouth for a sip. His hands were shaking

'Nervous are we?' I asked

'Slightly' He looked at me hard.

'Where's Cammie?' Bex enquired, Josh turned to her

'I don't know'

'Josh please, she needs our help'

'She had a gun' He blurted

'She showed you?' Liz asked

'So she's had a gun for a while' He was shocked. He looked at all of us in turn

'What did she say?' I asked

'We..we talked. Then randomly she asked me if I knew why we broke up. Then told me to forget about her. When I protested, she...she showed me her gun and the disappeared. Honestly, that's all I know'

'I believe you' I said. Honestly I did. Then I had an idea. 'I need you to text her' I said. Everyone looked at me confused.

'Why?' Bex asked

'Because she'll reply to you' I whispered. Cammie would avoid me to the ends of the earth to keep me safe, but as soon as a civilian is involved, she'll tell them to forget about her. But Josh isn't an ordinary civilian...he's her ex. Her first crush. Her first kiss. Her first mission. And as spies, we don't forget our first mission...or first kill.

'Okay...what do I say?'

'Say that you're sorry things had to be this way' Bex said. Then she looked at me 'And that you love her'. I kept a blank expression on my face. Bex was playing with fire, and someone was going to get burnt.

'Umm...I have a girlfriend' Josh said.

'Just type it' Bex turned her attention back to him. 'She'll feel sorry for you and call' Then she looked at liz and winked. Liz was going to track the call.

'What do I say if she answers?' He asked, Bex rolled her eyes

'Everything you wanted to say when you first met her' She gave a small smile. He looked at me, I nodded. He typed the text and pressed send. Because Cammie's phone is a spy-grade phone, calls and texts can be received anywhere, even in space and the centre of the earth. It's been proven. Trust me, I'm a spy.

3 minutes later, the phone buzzed, Josh put it on loudspeaker

Josh, you need to forget about me. Everything. Forget it.

Cam, I miss you. There was a pause.

Stop

Cam please, I know you lied, but we all do in life. I looked at Bex and Liz, we were all trying not to laugh.

If only you knew Cammie spat

Then tell me, please? Josh's voice broke slightly. There was a long pause.

I can't believe you would stoop this low Zach, or you Bex. Stay away from me. The line went dead, I looked at Bex

'How did she-' I began

'She knows us, she knows Josh, she knows more than what we thought we knew' Bex finished. 'Anything Liz?' I looked at the female tech genius.

'She's in the US. That's as far as I got'

'Well this is fucking fantastic!' Bex stood up and stormed out.

'It's my fault, sorry' I turned to see Josh looking like a child getting told off. I forgot he was there.

'Don't worry about it.' I stood up ready to leave. Then I looked at him dead in the eyes. 'Cammie was right, forget about her and us.' I helped Liz and we left. Bex was pacing up and down the street.

'Where would she go?' She kept muttering. Then something caught her eye. It was a penny on the floor, she picked it up, looked at us like a kid on christmas. 'I know where she's gone'

'Where?' I said

'Nebraska' Bex smirked

'How?' Liz asked

'When Cammie was little, her grandpa used to give her a dime every time she did something good; which was all the time' She flicked the coin to me. I caught it.

'So' I raised an eyebrow

'So Cammie and her dad had a connection to there. It was home.'

'So a disk might be there' I smirked

'And Cammie would follow the breadcrumbs' Bex said.

Authors Note: Hello everyone, hope you're well! The chapters coming up are honestly my favourite chapters so far, they take place in Nebraska but have so many twists and turns that I'm so freaking excited! So Josh was back briefly...and the others were so close to catching Cammie, yet she slipped through their grasp...but she's a Chameleon so no-one would find her anyway...See you all tomorrow for the last double upload xxx

Embers and Spies: Cammie's about to get a few more blasts from the past coming up! Bless ya so much for your devoted commenting, I love reading your replies! Honestly I think that a story should be gripping and wanting you to read the next chapter, so by leaving them on cliffhangers, it makes you want to read more (even if you have to wait a few days)! Thanking you always xxx
