Chapter Ten

3rd POV

Flashback

"Hello, Alice." Rachel said, staring at the woman that was once her friend. Once an ally. Once a sister at the Gallagher Academy.

"Rachel, it's lovely to see you, but as you know, I come here on business," Alice said with a wicked smile. She had the upper hand this time. She wasn't going to come in after Rachel Cameron-well, Morgan, anymore. Whatever they did at Gallagher; Cove Ops exercise, P&E, prettiest dress, boys, missions, Rachel would always come in first and Alice trailing in second.

"What do you want with us?" Rachel asked, tired of playing this game. The COC had been trying to capture her and her husband, Matthew Morgan, for years. Ever since they both met at Langley, CIA Headquarters, they've been on the run. That is, until they had the twins.

"No need to get stingy Mrs. Morgan. I'm here to negotiate a deal with you," Alice said examining her nails. She looked up from her fresh manicure and smirked. "I'm sure you wouldn't mind, would you?"

Rachel's jaw clenched, her finger hovered above the panic button that was installed in her watch.

"Ah ah! I wouldn't do that if I were you, Rach. You see, your twins are being told bedtime stories by Circle Assassins at this very moment. Push that button and your bundles of joy will be…well, not really joyous," she said again with that annoying smirk of hers.

"You want to negotiate? Okay, tell me. What do you have in mind?" Rachel asked and crossed her arms. She thought of the two year old twins that she had left with the babysitter, who was now probably dead, at home. They were her life. Cammie, Grant, and Matt were all she had and all she needed. She wouldn't let the COC take them away from her. That is, until Alice said those words.

"You stay away from your family, and we don't kill Cammie or Grant," Alice said smugly.

"Like I would agree to that! If I was gone, there would be no one to protect them because you obviously will not keep your end of the deal," Rachel spat.

"Actually this is most beneficial to us, if you were out of the picture," Alice said. Rachel had confusion written all over her face.

"Oh my, did Matt not tell you?" Alive feigned a gasp. "Your own husband didn't tell you he is a part of the Circle?"

Rachel wasn't able to hold in the shock she felt at those words. It couldn't be true. Matt would never lie to her or deceive her like that. Never.

"You are lying!" Rachel hissed. "You're the ones trying to capture him! He's not one of you!"

Alice smiled. Rachel usually knows how to keep her emotions inside. But now she knew her weakness. She could slowly destroy Rachel Morgan and obey orders to 'test' Matthew Morgan as well.

"I'd think a great spy like you would be able to keep an eye on your own husband. A lot of people tend to overestimate you anyways," Alice said with a slight flash of jealousy in her eyes. Alice would trade Rachel for her life any day but that was all pointless hope.

"Even if he was a Circle member, why do I have to stay away?" Rachel asked, fingering the gun in her back pocket.

"To test his loyalties," Alice said simply, not giving anything else away. "We're not sure what Matt has told you, so we've been after you. Judging by your reaction you had no idea."

"How can you I trust that you won't kill my babies?" Rachel spat. "I don't trust you at all!"

"Would you like to find out what would happen if you don't listen?" Alice asked, ready to press the pager in her pocket to alert the agents with Cammie and Grant.

"NO! Stop…" Rachel said defeated. Alice was good; if she tried to attack her kids would be killed. If she didn't runaway from Matt and her babies, they would all die. She knew that she might be making a mistake, but it was too risky if she didn't listen. It hurt her to say the words, but eventually she did, "I'll listen…But if I find out that you touch my kids, I will kill you without mercy, Alice."

Alice smirked. "I'd like to see you try."

Flashback Over

Rachel's POV

"Hello again, Rachel," I heard a voice behind me. I was in my office, waiting for Steven to come with Cammie and Grant. I didn't feel like staying down there during the dance anyways. I was staring out the window when I saw Steven's reflection in it.

"Are they here?" I asked him and he walked up behind me. I watched his movements and recognized them as a defensive stance and spun around, a knife at his throat.

"Why so defensive, Rachel?" Steven smiled.

"What's going on, Steve? Where are my kids?" I asked, gritting my teeth.

"Mr. Morgan is…in a compromised position at the moment. As for Ms. Morgan…she's here, just getting ready to take her away again, but I needed her here for something." Steve said and I pushed him against the cold window, the blade grazing his neck.

"Why?" was all I asked.

Steve laughed. "You didn't stay away, Rachel."

I tightened my grip on him. "You're one of them too…What do you want?" I hissed.

"Give me the alumni list, and your daughter doesn't die," he said.

"Is this what all of this is about? The alumni disk?" I asked in disbelief.

"No, this is more of a side mission. I thought I could use your daughter against you. After all, you've seen her for the past four years. Grant, however, isn't doing to well right now." He teased.

I punched him in the eye and I saw him mutter something into a comms unit.

"Careful, Rachel, give me the disk and your daughter will be unharmed.

I wouldn't let them manipulate me anymore, for all I know he could be bluffing. Plus I'm a spy; I wouldn't let them get away again.

I roundhouse kicked him as he got up and he caught my leg and twisted me to the floor. I swept my feet from under him and he fell to the floor. I twisted his arm behind him and put him in a headlock.

He struggled in my grip and said something into the comms again.

"You're making a mistake, Morgan." He said and elbowed me in the gut and I groaned in pain as he punched my ribs cage and there was a sickening sound. I screamed in pain and he took that moment to run out of my office.

I got up clutching my side, and ran after him. I wouldn't let them get Cammie.

Cammie's POV

"What are you doing, Tyler?" I asked quietly, still in shock. He clasped something around my wrists and noticed they were handcuffs.

"Don't make a move, Cammie, or else I will have to kill you," he said and spun me around so my back was facing him and I looked out into the dark passageway.

"I can't believe I trusted you…you're with the people that kidnapped Grant!" I yelled and he clamped a hand over my mouth.

"Quiet!" he whisper yelled into my ear, his hot breath making me shiver. But not in the way it used to, but in a disgusted way.

I bit his hand and got free of the handcuffs (something I learned in P&E in seventh grade) and twisted the dagger that was pointed at my chest away from me. He grabbed my wrist and I kicked him, causing him to buckle over.

I ran down the passageway, hoping to find Bex, Liz, or Macey when I got out when I bumped into someone.

"Gallagher Girl…" Zach said and grabbed my shoulders to steady myself back no my feet.

"Zach, Tyler is with the people that kidnapped Grant years ago! We have to go find my mom!" I told him quickly and grabbed one of his hands to run when he pulled me back.

"I'm sorry, Cam, I can't let you do that," he said with the emotion on his face hidden behind his mask again.

"What do you mean? We have to hurry!" I said and I heard a snicker from behind me.

"Zach, I told you I could handle this," Tyler said with a smirk.

My eyes turned back to Zach and I realized he was gripping onto my shoulders. "You're…Get away from me!" I yelled and swung my fist to punch Zach in the face and he got my hand and twisted it behind me so my back faced him and this time, all I could see was Tyler.

"You didn't tell her, did you," Tyler laughed.

"Tell me what? That you both are trying to kill me? Cause' I got that!" I yelled, defeated. The two boys I thought that I felt safe around, the ones I opened myself up to, had been betraying me this whole time. I swear I will never love again.

When Zach didn't reply Tyler said, "You see, Cam-"

"It's Cameron to you!"

"-We are part of the organization called the Circle of Cavan. Our targets were you and Grant. We've been planning this mission for a long time," he said and I struggled in Zach's grip. For some reason I felt more betrayed by Zach than Tyler. Zach had understood me completely. And in the barn when we were stuck, I thought we had a connection. A connection stronger than the one I had with Tyler.

That's when I realized. "That's why you followed us after the Code Black, right? The only reason why you followed me into the barn was because you had to capture me. Everything that you said or felt…was a lie!" I couldn't face him. I didn't want to know what his expression even though I already knew; emotionless.

"That's not-"

"Make her shut up already, Zach. Aunt Alice will be here soon and Dr. Sanders didn't get to complete the mission. We have to go now," Tyler said.

"Aunt?" I asked confused and Zach's grip got tighter.

"Yeah, we're cousins…" Tyler smirked. "Knock her out, Zach or I will."

Cousins. They we're related. How could I not see this coming? I felt like I was going to pass out anyways, with all of this information being thrown at me.

I felt the arms that held me last night, the arms I thought I would always feel safe in, twist me to face him. I was shocked to see a guilty glint in his eyes and his bottom lip trembling slightly. He leaned in close to me, his hands still gripping my hands behind my back.

"I'm sorry," he whispered against my ear and I felt something press against my forehead. My eyes blurred and closed and I felt myself falling forward to be caught in Zach's arms.

The last thing I heard was, "Let's go back to Headquarters, her brother would love to see her."

A.N. Eh, sorry for this suckish chapter….So there were some twist….. I bet you didn't think they were cousins…. Dr. Steve is in the COC!...Where's Grant…. All that drama…Please Review….I would love to hear what you guys think…Okay I'm done with the monotone! Thanks again!
