Hey everyone. I am SO sorry for the lack of update. If u read the authors note that was posted before i replaced it with this real chapter, then hopefully you all understand and forgive me.
I can't believe there's only one chapter left! I stil don't know if I'm gonna write a sequel. Now that I'm about to have finished my first story of the like 8 I'm writing I feel I need to update my other stories instead of letting them sit there. So maybe in the future there will be a sequel, but who knows.
Thanks to all my reviewers... Mysticmoon95...T3am Switzerland... MissyMacy17... JenJenLuvsVamps.... GwenFan22... AsHtIsDaLe21... Angel2... peygoodwin... Queen Puppy Lover...Margiegirl96...Barkaduter6teen... Spunkmuffin.
...and to Someone... I feel really stupid now, I can't belive it turns out I messed up the military time in the very first chapter. Thanks for pointing it out to me. I went back and fixed it.
my best friend gave me the best advice
he said each day's a gift & not a given right
leave no stone unturned
leave your fears behind
& try to take the path less travelled by
that first step you take is the longest stride
if today was your last day
& tomorrow was too late
could you say goodbye to yesterday?
would you live each moment like your last?
leave old pictures in the past?
donate every dime you had?
if today was your last day
against the grain should be a way of life
what's worth the price is always worth the fight
every second counts 'cause
there's no second try
so live like you're never livin twice
don't take the free ride in your own life
if today was your last day
& tomorrow was too late
could you say goodbye to yesterday?
would you live each moment like your last?
leave old pictures in the past?
donate every dime you had?
would you call those friends you've never seen?
reminisce old memories?
would you forgive your enemies?
would you find that one your dreaming of?
swear up & down to God above
that you'll finally fall in love?
if today was your last day
if today was your last day
would you make it up by mending a broken heart
you know it's never too late
to shoot for the stars
regardless of who you are
so do whatever it takes
'cause you can't rewind
a moment in this life
let nothing stand in your way
cause the hands of time are never on your side
if today was your last day
& tomorrow was too late
could you say goodbye to yesterday?
would you live each moment like your last?
leave old pictures in the past?
donate every dime you had?
would you call those friends you've never seen?
reminisce old memories?
would you forgive your enemies?
would you find that one your dreaming of?
swear up & down to God above
that you'll finally fall in love?
if today was your last day
'If Today Was Your Last Day' by Nickelback
The familiar whirl of helicopter blades surrounded me. I stood staring down at Gallagher as the black helicopter rose into the air to my destination. I only had one chance to end this all for good. To save my home and everyone I loved.
I felt familiar arms wrap around from behind me and I leaned back into them.
"Just relax Gallagher Girl. You've gotten us this far, so this should be easy," Zach told me.
"I know it's just... this is really the last chance to save everyone. If something goes wrong-" I began but Zach cut me off.
"Cammie, how is it you go from being so sure of yourself to panicking and thinking your going to fail? You can do this. Would you stop doubting yourself and just realize that? You're the Chameleon, you're stronger than this. So now you need to prove it. Not to everyone else—but to yourself," he said.
"Thanks Zach. By the way, since when did you become so sensitive?" I asked.
"It's being around all you girls. It's making me soft," he joked.
I laughed.
The pilot announced that we would be landing at the meeting point in 30 seconds. I took a deep breath and let it out trying to relax.
"You ready Gallagher Girl?" Zach asked me.
"Yep. Let's do this." I said as I looked down at the field, where another helicopter sat waiting.
The helicopter landed softly in the grass and I pulled the fake disc out of my pocket and closed it in my fist. Bex had put a virus on it that would not only wipe out Black Hawk's entire system, but it would send their database to CIA HQ and then blow up whatever computer Black Hawk was using. I must say Liz's technical skills really do come in handy.
Zach pulled open the door and smiled reassuringly at me before jumping down from the helicopter. I followed after him, telling the pilot to be ready to leave incase things went bad. He nodded at me and I walked to catch up with Zach.
The other helicopters door opened as well and a large man, obviously a guard, stepped down from it and stood waiting next to it. A man in a black dress suit jumped down after him and began to walk towards us.
Two more body guards jumped out of the helicopter and one followed the man walking towards us, while the other stood with the other guard.
We met in the middle standing a few feet away from each other.
"Ms. Morgan, it's a pleasure to meet the brilliant girl who has managed to foil all my plans so far. I must say I'm very impressed with your skills," the man said.
I didn't respond, keeping my face neutral and the man smiled.
"Ah, where are my manners? My name is Jonathan Black and I need the disc in your hand," he said.
"What do I get if I give it to you?" I asked.
"Cammie..." Zach whispered warningly.
"Well Ms. Morgan by giving me what I need I'll leave you and your school alone," he said.
"And how do I know you'll stay away?"
"Well I guess you'll just have to take my word for it."
"I don't think so."
"Well then Ms. Morgan, you leave me no choice but to take the disc from you by force. And I'm not sure if I can ensure the safety of your precious school if it comes to that," He said getting angry.
"I guess that's a chance I'll have to take," I said glaring defiantly.
Before anything else could be said the body guard beside him lunged forward attempting to grab me, but I dodged him doing a back flip. I kicked him in the chest knocking him backwards.
One of the other guards by the helicopter came running towards Zach and they began to fight. Jonathan stood back and watched as his body guard rounded on me again. If this guy thought one guard was going to be enough to get me, then he was in for a serious wake up call.
I punched the man in the face, probably breaking his jaw from the sounds of it. While he was recovering I crouched down and kicked out, knocking his feet out from under him. Then I sprung forward ready to hit his neck and knock him out but I didn't notice the other guard that had stayed behind had snuck up beside me and he kicked me in the ribs sending me flying a few feet.
I rolled hitting the ground painfully, but still clutching the disc in my hand. I forced myself to my hands and knees, trying to breathe properly. I sensed movement near me and back-flipped out of the way as another kick headed at me.
I ducked a punch and kicked out, barely skimming the guy's side as he twisted to dodge it. Unfortunately, he grabbed my foot and pulled yanking me towards him. He gripped my arms and head butted me, releasing me so I fell to the ground. Everything went fuzzy as I tried to focus, but another kick to my ribs sent me doubling over in pain. I could only see black splotches as I tried to keep consciousness.
"Stop," I heard Jonathan say as he approached.
I felt him grab my wrist and twist it, forcing my hand to release the disk.
"As fun as it has been Ms. Morgan, we must be going now," he said.
I heard him walk away, and even though I couldn't see it I knew his guards left with him. I heard the helicopter take off and then footsteps ran towards me.
"Cammie... are you ok?" I heard Zach whisper.
He was beside me in an instant.
"I don't know," I said quietly.
And I really didn't. I'm pretty sure I had at least one broken rib. My head was killing me from hitting it when I fell and my vision was still foggy.
"Cammie can you hear me?" Zach whispered again, concerned.
"Why are you whispering? They're gone," I managed to ask.
"I'm not whispering Cammie," he whispered again.
That's when I realized that he must not have been whispering— he was talking normal. That's why he was so concerned. Something was wrong with me.
And that's the only thing I can remember before my memories fade.
Review! Only one more chapter left!
