Hi fellow Zammie and Gallagher Girls fans! :D I was really in the mood to write another chapter because I was bored so here it is! :)

Enjoy! :D

CHAPTER 9

ZACH'S POV

Obviously the people around me are oblivious to my internal turmoil because they just looked at me like nothing was actually wrong. I mean, nothing's actually wrong except for the fact that I was really jealous of Cammie and Alex. I know that they're not exactly what you can call as a couple but come on! Why was I jealous? There was only one person who I can say that knows what I am thinking right now. Alex. I really want to punch him right now! But that would mean that I would be punished and I don't want to be punished. Believe me, a punishment for a student in a spy school is really painful and stressful. So don't ask what that punishment is.

"Hey Zach, come on. Mr. Solomon needs to talk to us." Grant called out to me.

Making my way to Grant, I could see that he was inconspicuously holding Bex's hand. I couldn't help but smirk at them. And of course that caused a death glare from the Devil, oops, I meant Bex. Better not let her know I call her that. She could easily kick my ass and I don't want that to happen. As I was nearing the both of them, Grant let go of Bex's hand, much to her dismay.

"Hello Baxter. What's up?" I asked her innocently.

"Shut up Goode. Don't act all innocent on me. If I hear that you told someone else of what you just saw, I promise you, I will kill you using your beloved comb." she said calmly.

"Oh no! Not my beloved comb! I use this to get all the girls. I can't live without it!" I said dramatically.

"Stop being dramatic. Just don't tell anyone or I will really kill you. Got that?"

"Yes, Ms. Baxter." I said with a salute.

"Mr. Goode and Ms. Baxter, please hurry up. We don't have all day to wait for the two of you to enter my office." Mr. Solomon said.

We mumbled our apologies and entered Mr. Solomon's office. It was really plain. You know the usual office. A desk with school papers, pens, and a laptop, sofas against the walls, and unusual paintings. I saw that everyone was seated on the sofas. On the right sofa, Macey, Liz and Jonas were seated together and Cammie, Alex and Bex on the left. Since there were no more seats, I had no more choice but to sit on the floor with Grant.

"Okay, so I chose you eight students because you are the best students in my class. And because I need your help tracking down the enemies who wants to put an end to our school. Is that clear?" Mr. Solomon asked us.

All of us nodded and I asked, "So, how do we start helping you?"

"All of you have specialties in being a spy. I need Liz and Jonas to track them using your beloved laptops." he said with a chuckle.

Liz and Jonas' face immediately lit up due to the fact that they were paired together in a "mission" and because they would use their technology-wired brains to track down the enemies.

"Macey, you're in charge of disguises. Once Liz and Jonas have found their location, you have to disguise our 'surveillance team'."

"YES! Thank you, Mr. Solomon!" Macey said enthusiastically.

"So that leaves Cammie, Zach, Alex, Grant and Bex. You five will be our surveillance team. This team is in charge of tailing our enemies and see when they're going to strike. But I have to divide you into groups. Cammie, Zach and Alex, you're Alpha Team. Grant and Bex, you're Delta Team. Is that clear?"

"Yes sir." we said simultaneously.

I don't know if I would feel really happy because I was in a group with Cammie or be angry because Alex is in our group. Either way, I'm still glad I'm with my Gallagher Girl.

"So everyone, phase one of our mission has to be completed by Liz and Jonas within the week. Once that's accomplished, phase two will be put into action. That means you Macey. Phase three will be team Alpha and Delta. Is that clear?" Mr. Solomon said.

We nodded then he said, "Since everything's clear, let's all go down the Grand Hall and eat. I am starving and I am assuming everyone else is too."

As I was ready to protest, Cammie's stomach growled, indicating that she was really hungry. I couldn't help but smile at her. She looked really cute, blushing cheeks and that adorable giggle. She then approached me, grabbed my hand and said good bye to everyone.

"Hey! Where are you bringing me?" I protested.

"To the Grand Hall, I'm starving! I'm also assuming you know that because you heard that embarrassing growl." she said with a laugh.

"I know that and you know, you could actually tell me in there that you would be pulling me there. I was thrown off guard when you suddenly pulled me out of the office."

"Well, I'm sorry! I'm terribly starving and I just needed to pull someone with me there."

"Among all the people in that room, you had to choose me? I mean, you could've chose Bex, Macey or Liz. Or even Alex."

As soon as I said his name, she came to a complete stop then looked at me with questioning eyes.

"Why did you just say Alex's name in a bitter way?" she asked.

"So that's the only thing you heard in the statement I just said?"

"Stop answering my question with a question!"

"Don't shout at me. Just answer the question."

"I asked you first, you stubborn, arrogant jerk!"

"So we're back to the name calling, huh? Look, forget it. I don't want an answer to my question and I don't want to hear an answer from you. I'll see you around."

As I turned to leave, I resisted the urge to go back to Cammie and hug her and say I'm sorry. Why the hell did I have to get mad at her? She was just asking why I said Alex's name that way. And being the stupid, arrogant jerk I was, I didn't answer her question but instead, I got mad at her for asking. Why am I such a stupid jerk? I hate my life!

CAMMIE'S POV

I was shocked when Zach turned to leave me. I was just asking why he said Alex's name in such a bitter way and yet he shouted at me. Was he jealous of Alex? Because if he was, that would be really stupid. He knows I'm in love with him and not with Alex. The I-am-in-love-with-Alex feeling only lasted for about 2 minutes!

"UGH! Why did he leave? I was just asking! UGH! WHY!" I told myself.

I feel really frustrated right now. Then I realized something. Zach and I just had a fight, I am talking to myself (Am I going crazy?) and I am all alone in this scary corridor. As I was making my way to the Grand Hall, I couldn't help but feel that someone was following me. Turning around, I didn't see anyone so I thought that I was just hallucinating. Suddenly, someone grabbed me and pulled me into this dark sort-of-alley in the corridor. My mouth and nose was covered with a cloth that was soaked in poison that would make me black out. I tried fighting the person holding me but his grip was really strong.

I really couldn't hold my breath any longer. I just prepared for the gross smell of the poison to engulf my nostrils and in 2 seconds I was out.

KIDNAPPER'S POV

Damn, I thought that she would put up a really good fight when I was trying to kidnap her, but she didn't! I know that my grip was really strong but being the good spy that she was, I thought that she would escape me but no. I was a lot better than her.

Suddenly, she was really limp and I'm sure that she blacked out already. I laid her on the floor and called my boss, Cindy.

"Who dares disturb my slumber?" was the first thing I heard.

"I don't care if I disturbed your 'slumber'. I have Cammie Morgan. Shall I bring her to you?"

"Oh that's good news, son! No, bring her in the Circle lair. Place her inside a cell and don't you dare leave a message or anything that would allow those pesky little brats to track us down. Got that?"

"Yes mother. Go on, continue sleeping. Sorry I disturbed you. On second thought, I'm not really sorry so I take it back." And with that, I ended the call.

I prepared for the heavy weight of this girl as I was about to sling her on my shoulder, but she was really light. It made my escape faster. I looked back in the gap I pulled her in to check if I left something. Nope, nothing.

As I was outside, I saw the van that my mother prepared.

"Fabio! Bring her inside then place her inside a cell in the lair. Got that?" I told the driver.

"Yes sir." After these words were said, I went back inside and made my way to the Grand Hall. Wow, kidnapping someone is really hard work.

ZACH'S POV

As I was munching on a burger, I saw Bex, Liz and Macey enter the Hall. Without Cammie. I feel really bad about the fight we had. And most of all, I feel really bad because I left her alone that corridor. And that corridor happens to be the one she's afraid of. Smooth move, Goode. Leaving the girl you love in a corridor she is obviously afraid of.

"ZACHARY GOODE! WHERE'S OUR BEST FRIEND?" Bex shouted at me.

"A simple 'Hello Zach, where's Cammie?' would actually be nice." I told her.

"Don't you dare be calm about this! Where the hell is she?"

"I don't know! And if you don't mind, please leave me alone so I could eat my food, thank you."

"THAT'S IT!"

I guess I said the wrong thing because as I was about to take a bite on my delicious burger, she lunged at me and started hitting my face and strangling me. She pulled my hair really hard which cause me to scream in pain.

"I was asking you properly, Goode. You didn't answer me properly. You definitely deserve this." she said as she continued to hurt me.

"Will you two please pull this monster off me?" I asked Liz and Macey.

They pretended to think about it, and then said "No." simultaneously, while laughing.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?"

She stopped hitting me, so I took this opportunity to push her away from me and I started my escape.

"I JUST CALLED YOU A MONSTER! A MONSTER, BEX!" I shouted at her while running.

"UGH THAT'S IT GOODE! YOU'RE GOING DOWN!" she shouted back at me.

As I turned to look at her, I saw that she was already running towards me, and wow, she runs really fast.

"DON'T YOU DARE RUN AWAY, ZACHARY GOODE! I WILL TORTURE YOU! I WILL KI-"

Her death threat to me was suddenly stopped and I turned to see what made her stop. I was Grant and Alex. They were both holding her like she was some sort of wild animal. And she really did look like a wild animal because of her struggling and shouting.

"Zach dude, stop running! We caught Bex already!" Grant told me.

As soon as I was near Bex, I could see that she was hugging Grant. Not only that, she was also crying. Woah, crying? Rebecca Baxter, the tough British girl, crying?

"Hey Bex? I'm sorry if I hurt you or something. Stop crying, I'm sorry." I told her calmly.

I couldn't handle seeing a girl cry especially if it was because of me. I would feel like a rotten rodent if I don't apologize.

After wiping her tears away and pulling away from Grant, she turned to me and said, "No it's not your fault. I was just worried that Cammie isn't here. Because I saw you two exit Mr. Solomon's office together and then I saw you alone without Cammie. I just thought that-"

She suddenly stopped then looked at me with wide eyes then said, "Bring me to whatever place you left her earlier."

I looked at her with questioning eyes then she shouted, "NOW!"

"Okay, okay. Jeez, chill out Bex." I told her.

"Thank you, Goode."

"Oh yeah, Grant? Alex? Go on and eat." she told the boys.

"But I want to eat with you!" Grant said dramatically.

"Just go and eat. We'll be back. And I know that you two are hungry."

"Fine, but be sure to be back here okay?" he said demandingly.

She didn't answer because she was already pushing me out of the hall. The corridor was really far from here so maybe Cammie was just walking slowly? Or she got tired? Or-

Stop making excuses, you stupid jerk!

Woah, who just said that?

It's your conscience. You're really stupid.

Just shut up. And I know I'm stupid.

You're also crazy. It looks like you're talking to yourself.

"Hey Zach? Are we almost there?" Bex suddenly asked, pulling me out of my argument with my beloved conscience.

"Yup, we're actually here already." I replied.

Confused, I told her, "This is exactly where I left her."

"Are you sure? Because there's no one in here. Maybe she went back to our suite?"

"Impossible. She said she was really hungry and I know that she would rather eat than hide from me."

"How right you are, Zach. But where is she? You don't think..." she trailed off, not wanting to continue what she was about to say.

I didn't need to ask her what she wanted to say because I know exactly what she was about to say.

Three simple words. Simple, but scary.

She was kidnapped.

Oh no. -_- Cammie's kidnapped! Who do you think kidnapped her? Post a review and tell me! :) Of course I won't tell you if your guess is right or wrong. :))
