Hello guys! Sorry about the day's wait. Or was it two days. Damn I can't keep track of the days. Anyways, I was out the entire day and I couldn't post this chapter but I hope this gives you the personality of Cammie's other friends and Joe, who seems like Townsend but he will be more like the Joe we all know and love. AND I promise he will have a shirtless scene soon. :D

PheoNox: Thanks! This chapter was really hard for me so I hope you enjoy it!

CameronRGoode: Thank you for your kind compliments. I definitely think you should post that story! I would read it. It sounds just as original as PheoNox said this one is! Besides, you never know until you try. For example, I never thought this story would do well. I thought different ideas would turn people away but it didn't. I would love to see how you would write an idea like that. Keep me updated on whether you decide to post that story!

cutesy77: I like this plan too. Looks like some of our celebrities wouldn't mind being the spies. ;)

i am the chameleon: You'll see.

Again Review/Teaser thing stands. Thank you all for reading!

Macey knew something I didn't. This didn't surprise me, considering she was a spy, but it really bothered me. I had shown that I could handle knowing high priority information. But on top of that she had been avoiding me at all costs, watching me from where I couldn't see her. I cursed whoever decided to teach espionage to young girls. And since Macey wasn't around I decided to hang out with Bex and Liz, but that was going wrong too.

Joe Solomon was either lost or he was purposely driving me around in circles. I was pretty damn sure he was driving around in circles. Spies don't just get lost.

"Joe, I really need to get somewhere." I said, shaking my head.

He was pretending not to hear me and a second later, a loud stream of that ugly hip hop music was pounding through the limo. I sank back into my seat and tried to relax. I had gone to the studio very early in the morning for voiceovers. All I had wanted to do was relax with Bex and Liz before Zach and I started plotting to get my mother back.

The limo finally stopped in front of Bex's house which was slightly smaller than the Morgan Mansion but no less impressive. Bex and Liz were waiting for us in the driveway, both looking very angry.

"Where the hell have you been? My skin was starting to peal, and darling I cannot afford to go through an unhealthy skin controversy. I advertise lotion, after all. " Bex exclaimed.

I tried not to laugh and plastered an apologetic look on my face. "Sorry. But now we can't hang out. I've got somewhere to be."

Liz narrowed her eyes. "No! No one stands up Bex and Liz. We are going with you. You are going to spend time with us and you are going to like it."

My mouth hung open in shock and I couldn't even formulate a response. They wanted to come with me. I couldn't take them to Zach's. What we were doing was supposed to be a secret. Before I lie about where I was going I heard Joe talking.

"I believe she had plans to spend time with Zach, ladies." Joe said, not even bothering to hide his amusement. This man had it out for me. I wouldn't be surprised if he was in the Circle himself.

I glared at him as Bex and Liz while they tittered about how cute Zach and I were together and how Josh would react. That comment was pointless because Josh and I weren't even together and they knew that. Unfortunately the media didn't and I knew I would have to face the consequences of spending time with Zach soon. Thankfully the topic changed from Zach to Grant. Somehow, Bex always managed to steer the conversation to her benefit. Not that I minded. But today I was bothered by it. Maybe because Joe had already been so annoying and my temper had flared. But I just stayed silent and fumed in private.

Ten minutes later, Zach was answering his door. He wore a green shirt and casual jeans. He was no doubt surprised by the two extra additions in his home so I pulled him aside to explain. However he had brought Tina so I don't think it was fair for him to be the only one who was surprised.

"They wouldn't leave me alone. Can you entertain them for an hour?" I asked, desperately.

He smirked. "I figured you wouldn't have told them anything. Anyways, I can just make them food."

I must have been looking at him funny because he continued. "Come on Morgan, I'll show you how to make baked onion rings."

After such a long day, all I had wanted to do was relax and make plans on how to get my mother back with Zach. I was hoping that we would be alone. Somehow it had turned from, Zach and Cammie alone time, to some of our friends being there, waiting for me and Zach to get done cooking for them. I was extremely disappointed with this, though I did find it interesting that Zach new how to make onion rings, and how he looked sinfully attractive in an apron.

Zach had his whole body pressed up against mine and guided the cutting of an onion with me. He been complaining that I was cutting the onion strip too thick. His muscles were hard where our skin had contact. I was wearing a tube top and he was a bit taller so his chest was pressed up against my shoulders. I shuddered at how good it felt. He was warm and gave off the scent of soap and his breath smelled like minty toothpaste. Luckily before I could completely go weak in the knees on instinct, Bex and Liz walked in the kitchen.

"Cammie! Liz said I don't look good in purple. I personally don't think so. I mean, I look good in everything. Even Tina agreed. I like her. We should have Tina around more often." Bex was yelling. The reason for this was because Liz was yelling over top of what Bex was saying.

"She totally looks better in orange. It stands out considering her skin color. Purple so does not mesh. And Tina did not agree, she totally remained neutral but she is so cool, Cammie! I think we should have Tina around more often. I've been saying it for years." Liz yelled.

The two finally stopped and took in the sight of me and Zach. He stepped away quickly and I blushed. The two girls were trying really hard not to laugh. Liz nudged Bex and whispered something. Bex looked at me, eyes twinkling.

"I just forgot. Onyx was left at the Kitty Kare center and I need to pick her up. Can we take Joe?" Bex asked. Liz nodded furiously.

I love my friends. I really do but at the present moment I didn't want them around. I had more important things to worry about. Like rescuing my mom from a terrorist organization that wanted to kill me and was led by the father of the boy I liked. To accomplish what I needed, Joe, Bex, and Liz had to be out of the picture.

"Yes!" I blurted out. "Take Joe. For as long as you want. In fact you could take him all the way down to Mexico if you want."

Bex winked and Liz gave me a look that practically screamed, "GIVE US THE DETAILS LATER!" I nodded and saw them out to the door. Joe shot me a nasty look and drove off with my two friends. I jumped up and down in excitement. Zach laughed at me. Tina motioned for us to sit on the couch.

"What information do you have?" I asked her.

Tina frowned and sat up straighter as if she were trying to impress someone. "I don't have anything but a plan. It's going to require all of your skills in the art of manipulation."

That I could do. I was a celebrity. I was a teenage girl. Manipulation was second nature to me.

"So who do we manipulate?" Zach asked.

The answer was quite obvious, but I let Tina break the news to him. "Your protection. Whoever you can get information from. And Zach, you may have to go back to Roseville to search your old house. Your mother may have left clues there."

I looked at him surprised. "Macey's from Roseville too. Did you two know each other?"

If they had I would have reason to believe that I didn't know Zach at all. That kind of bothered me because I did want know him. I let out a breath of relief when he shook his head.

"No. I went to Roseville High. We thought the girls there were from a snobby, rich prep school. Macey went to the Gallagher Academy. Just like my mom." He said. With each new disclosure about his past, I realized Zach was wrapped up in this spy game more than I thought.

I wondered if Macey had known. She seemed to know a lot more than she let on. But then again she was a spy. Spies made it more complicated to live normally. Normalcy had never really gone well for me. And though we didn't know much, I was getting excited. We had a plan. We were going to con the ones that had been trained in espionage from the moment they entered high school. And I knew it was going to be damn near impossible but I was going to try.

AND I HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR YOU ALL!

Do you guys know the name of a tabloid/magazine? It should be an American one since I am going to add it in the story. I rarely ever read tabloids so I don't know the different kinds. Your help would be much appreciated.

And in an effort to get to know my readers better (Don't worry! I'll never ask something insanely personal.): Which Gallagher Girl book is your favorite?

Me: Only the Good Spy Young
