Chapter 10

~ Joe POV ~

I sat down across from Cammie my forearms placed upon the table with my fingers interlaced and put on my best blank face. Cammie had hers legs crossed with her hands clasped on her lap also wearing her best blank face.

"Let's start from the beginning" I said in a monotone voice. She gave a nod.

"I tracked the circle to the heart of their organisation without being seen once, however my luck ran out when during surveillance I got caught. I spent 5 and half months there" at this statement I properly surveyed her for the first time since her return looking for any tell- tale signs of her period in capture however it seems her clothing was covering everything that I could see however there was a very faint scar on her cheek that I could now that her hair which had grown immensely since she left had moved. She noticed my eyes move to check as she then said "you can see the evidence afterwards, everything will be documented" my eyes moved back to meet her gaze with a frown creasing my eyebrows at her nonchalant tone. I nodded at her briefly as she had done for her to continue.

"at the end the guard became lazy, didn't realize he had left the door unlocked" "he didn't have you ….chained down?" my jaw clenched on the word chained, trying very hard not to visualise it. "I'm sure he was planning on switching me from the ceiling to the chair, but like I said, he got lazy" she looked at me obviously waiting for my reaction, whatever she saw, she seemed to accept as she continued. "I was walking through the halls, trying to make my way out from what little knowledge I had gained since being there, it didn't take me long to come across guards, I heard them before they saw me, and with the condition I was in I thought it was best to hide, I still had to get out as well, no point raising the alarm too early. I hid in the first room that was unlocked." This is where she paused, the first sign of emotion flashed across her face, I look of pain which was quickly replaced so quickly I may have imagined it, and she looked away seeming to debate with herself.

"What happened?" I asked softening my face, she finally looked back at me searching my eyes and then sighed. "Occidere Dedolo" she simply stated. I frowned and shook my head "kill chip?" I asked, what on earth does that mean?

"The circle have been inventing a new programme" she continued "Occidere Dedolo – kill chip. It was meant for new recruits to eliminate training and to produce mindless followers who wouldn't betray their cause for a second" my eyes widened in disbelief "it was in this room that I ascertained the chip for myself" my hands moved to grip the table, was this a trap? Had she been made one of theirs? She continued in a calm voice "however when developing this programme they were unable to gain complete loyalty in their subjects, which is why it has not yet been used" she waited for me to relax I moved back to my original posture yet became more wary realising that this Cammie that had come back could be a threat, which I hadn't even considered before now.

"What does this…chip entail then?" I asked in a monotone voice.

"Even though the found fault with their main priority the chip still succeeded better than they imagined. With this I have been able to upgrade to assassination" she stated as if this was not big deal, my jaw dropped, "I have access to greater knowledge than ever before, I am a perfect marksmen without training or ever even holding a gun. My senses have been heightened; sight; smell; hearing" something clicked in my head, finally understanding how she was able to hear through the wall but even so that's impressive that is meant to be practically soundproof. "My speed and strength has increased tenth fold, my sense for pain has decreased incredibly, I am able to retain a lot more information, quite a lot of the CIA and MI6 database has been uploaded, for example I could remind you of all the missions that you have been on. If I was a part of either of these I'd have a higher clearance that may even surpass the director." My hands lay flat on the table with my eyes wide in shock, I was speechless. "After gaining this getting out was easy, I killed all guards I met on my way, right at the exit I saw Catherine and I shot her. I blew up the site before I made my way out the country." I quickly regained my composure realising a little late that I am trained to not show my surprise.

"What about this chip? Should we be worried about distribution?" she shook her head, "along with all the rest of the information stored in here" she pointed to her temple "I also know everything about what's happened to me, and I know that everything to do with this was at that base, and no else has it, and seen as I blew the building up, it's all blown up with it." I nodded my head slowly "well then just one more thing, this doesn't explain you" she cocked her head to the side. "I don't understand" she asked still with a blank face. "What I mean is, you're not the same" understanding dawned on her face "there was also another flaw in the programming, one which could be seen as good or bad" she shrugged "having all of this in my head meant that my emotions have … let's say shut down" after all that I heard this was the most shocking, even though it made perfect sense. My brain seemed to be working sluggishly as I tried to think this through. "Is there any way to get rid of it? Get your emotions back?" I asked quietly not meeting her eyes "I don't know" I closed my eyes "I am the first one, theres no knowing what will happen" I looked up at her then still expecting to see something in her yet her eyes were cold and blank. She stood up "debriefing is over, we should go to the hospital wing" and with that she walked out the room with me still sat there.

~ Cammie POV ~

I walked down the familiar halls ending up at the hospital wing quicker than I thought I would greeting Gene the medic as I sat down on the bed. She had obviously been told I was already here as she didn't stare like everyone else. She told me to take of my clothes and make myself comfortable. I was down to my underwear when 5 people turned up Joe in front with Zach, Bex, Liz and Macey. Clearly the girls were about to start some emotional scene, of anger or happiness I don't know as they were rooted to the spot when they saw me under the florescent lights. I don't blame them I must have been some sight to see.

~ Zach POV ~

I stared at Cammie who sat patiently as the medic documented everything and made sure there wasn't any lasting effects that could cause problems. I couldn't believe my eyes, and I've seen torture cases with limbs removed, most cases tended to pick a spot to focus on however Cammie seemed to have had everything done to her at some stage and it was all over her, besides her face and neck every square inch of her skin was covered in scars some more brutal than ever. One of her toes was missing and the bottom of her feet had lost feeling due to severe burns. She was given something for her gums as a couple of teeth had been pulled out. She had been given some liquid of some form to make sure no bleach was left residing inside her. I was finally able to look away when they gave her some sweats to wear and trainers which she declined claiming they didn't make much difference. Yet with all this she seemed to be in perfect shape when she took her fitness tests, in fact she seemed even better than when she left, going faster and lasting longer than thought possible, in fact she only stopped because we told her too in the end as it didn't seem she was going to at all. It seems what she told Joe was true, this thing had changed her completely as by the end of it all she just got changed and nodded to us all and left the room without a backward glance. We all started after her then looked at each other with worried glances.

There you go, again I hope you like it, please let me know what you think :) x
