I'd like to say thank you for all the reviews, especially ALLY CARTER 4 EVER, thank you. I made this chapter a bit longer to try and make up for my long inexcusable absents.

Zach POV

~Two weeks later~

We were sat in another room in another hotel in another city. We were really off the grid, just completely disappeared which really isn't that good for Macey seeing how there would be search parties for her if Agent Cameron didn't take care of that. We hadn't had any luck on finding Cammie.

"You guys need to go home, I know a possible way to find Cam but I need to do it alone." Everyone dropped what they were doing to stare at me.

"Zach, no. We talked about this, it's suicide." Grant stared daggers at me but he was right, we talked about it and every outcome was me dying.

"Okay, how about you two share with us what you're thinking." Bex stood with her hands on her hips and the others behind her.

"Zach wants to go back to the Circle." Grant blurted out. He turned to me, "Sorry, she scary when she remembers her training."

"Not a bad idea, maybe we could go with disguises?" Bex nodded her head thinking.

"No point, she see right through them. Just let me go and the rest of you go back to school." I got up and walked out and went to the first floor. Not being able to find Cammie was driving me crazy, I could only imagine what Catherine was doing to her. That just made my blood boil even more.

Once everyone was asleep, I crept out of bed but I guess I didn't do a very good job of creeping because I woke Grant up. "I know you aren't sneaking out to kill yourself."

"Go back to sleep." I grab my jacket, I'm not going to try and lie to him.

"I'm going with you." Grant got out of bed and grabbed his jacket and shoes. We made our way to the motel door, we opened it to find Tina waiting for us wide awake and with a bag which I presume is full with weapons and other essentials.

"I got us a car." She turned and walked to a random car, throwing the bag in the backseat and getting behind the wheel.

"We are not actually taking her, are we?" Grant grabbed my arm as I walked by him.

"Well, she has everything we need and got us a car. Besides, if we don't she'll wake the others now come on." I got in the front seat and Grant in the back. Tina pulled out of the almost empty parking lot with ease. We drove for an hour not speaking, just in comfortable silents.

"So," Tina started, "do you have a plan or are we just going to wing it?" She looked at me for a second then back at the road. I stared out the window to try and think about where she might be. Going through every Circle base I've been to and known about. She did have a favorite safe house in the mountains but hadn't used it in years. That's when it hit me. Why would she use an popular base when she knew all of us would be looking for her.

"Colorado, she has a safe house there."

"That's a seven hour drive from here." Tina was shocked, "You mean to tell me Cammie could be seven hours away from us and you decide to bring it up now?!" I heard Grant sigh in the back then stretch out and go to sleep.

"I didn't think of it till now and the chances of Cammie actually being there are slim to none." I lean my head against the window and close my eyes, "Wake me if you get tired."

A few minutes have gone by before Tina spoke again, "Don't say that, okay? I miss her too, she was- is- my sister. We will find her and she will be okay, I mean she's a Morgan and a Cameron." She gave me a reassuring smile.

"She's a Gallagher girl." I nod at Tina then lean my head back, "She's my Gallagher girl." I say quietly to myself. I quickly doze off, welcoming a dreamless sleep.

Cammie POV

I woke up on a concrete floor, I had blood all over my body which was most likely mine. Catherine has been torturing me nonstop. At least now I know what she wants, a list of names I caught a glimpse of when I was younger. She made me remember everything in my past the hard way, with brainwashing and mind tricks. I tried to sit up but everything hurt when I tried to move, I forced myself to stand up anyway. This is where she took my father to torture him and then kill him. She showed me his grave yesterday, he's dead. He's never coming back. With this thought I let out an ugly sob and fell to the ground, they alerted one of the guards. A man came in who was around six foot two, he looked down at me and smirked.

"You weak and pathetic little girl, just like your father." Yes, I remembered the names Catherine wanted but her mistake is I remembered even maneuver Gallagher has taught me, Dad and Joe has taught me, even the skills she taught me just a few summers ago. With those thoughts going through my head I charged at the man with all my power. I must have caught him off guard because I knocked to the ground, his head hitting the ground with a satisfying crack. I grabbed the gun from his holster, it felt heavy in my hands but it also felt so familiar. Another mistake on her part was bring me back to the same place I escaped from last time. I ran out the room and down the hall, I was in the basement, at the end of the hall it was the second door to the right. That brought me to a garage with three different cars, I took the jeep. The garage opened automatically and I drove like crazy. Snipers started to shoot at me as they tried to close the gate but I broke through it. Just like that I was free. It seemed almost too easy.

I drove for a few hours, I knew I had to ditch this car and get a new one but I don't know how far the next town was. She put me at a base tucked away in the mountains, far far away from everything else. But I guess things were really going my way because coming up on my right were trails. I pulled over and parked right next to car, getting out I picked the lock on another car. Dad taught me how to hot wire a car as 'father and daughter bonding', I guess it's coming in handy now. I got the car started in less than three minutes, I pulled away slowly trying not to raise any suspicion.

At a safe distance away from everything, I look around the car to wipe the blood away. Finding baby wipes in the glove department I start to clean my face, I was to afraid to look at myself in the mirror but I had to make sure I got all the blood off. The next motel was a few miles away and I wanted to shower and rest but I couldn't exactly walk up covered in blood. I shrug on a sweatshirt I found in the back as I pulled up to the motel. I was in some dirty sweats but at least they didn't have blood on them. The lady at the desk gave me a key with no problem as I checked in with a fake name, I was in room number seven. I could tell the people here before me must have just left because the beds weren't made and their were coffee cups everywhere. I grabbed a towel and took a nice long shower, I watched as the blood and dirt went down the drain. I found some more clothes in the car I stole and put them on. I curled up on the bed and turned on the TV to a news channel. Nothing involving people I know was on so I switched it off and laid down. I have never felt more exhausted then I do right now. I was out before I even knew it.

I woke up around one in the afternoon the next day to some light coming in from the window where the curtain didn't reach and birds chirping. I looked around thinking it was all a dream but it was true, I was captured by a terrorist group, tortured, I escaped now what? What do I do? I can't go home or can I? I walked out of the room and into town when I heard a few people gossiping about seeing Macey McHenry. Two old ladies sitting outside a coffee shop were chatting about her and the senator.

"Excuse me but did you say you saw Macey McHenry?" Looked at them hoping I didn't sound crazy.

"Oh yes, she was just down at the store with a group of other kids. I'm surprised her parents let her go out without some sort of protection. Them being a big deal and all." The one lady sipped her coffee. I said a quick thank you and ran down the street hoping to catch them in time. I assume the other kids she is with is Bex, Liz, Zach, Jonas, Grant since no one said anything about Preston. I slow down as I walk into the grocery store, walking all the aisles I see a familiar face but not from Roseville. From Gallagher.

"Anna? Anna Fettermen?" I say in disbelief. She turns around and it looks like she has seen a ghost.

"Oh my gosh! Cammie!" she screams as she hugs me, I hug her back. "Wait, you know me. You remember Gallagher. Or, wait, do you remember Gallagher?"

"Yeah, I remember Gallagher. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in D.C.?" I gave her a questioning look.

"Bex and Zach, along with Macey, Liz and Grant came to Gallagher, ran into Tina, Kim, and I, then for the past two weeks we all have been looking for you but couldn't find you. Sometime last night Tina, Zach, and Grant went off to what we assume to look for you inside the Circle." Anna said all of that in one breath. "Now let me take you to the others." She dragged me out of the store and to a small mall. I forgot how strong she was and how much my wounds hurt. Bex, Liz, Macey, and Kim must have seen me before I seen them because they were charging at me. Bex got to me first, no surprise, she knocked me off balance and we fell to the floor. We stood up once the others arrived we all had a big group hug. We went to their car to talk about everything more so we weren't out in the open.

"Where's Zach, Grant, and Tina? Preston and Jonas?" I was sat in the back between Anna and Liz, Kim on the other side of Liz with Macey driving and Bex in the passenger.

"They left last night and took most of our weapons. Preston and Jonas are still in Roseville, they have been keeping us updated from their." Bex was turned around in her sit not wanted to let me out of her sight.

"Do you know how my mom and Joe are doing? What about Abby?" I'm scared to know the answer but I need to know.

"Last I spoke to Jonas he said your mom and Mr. S left but Abby was still around sometimes." Liz gave me a sympathetic look.

"I mean as long as they are safe." I said quietly but knew they heard. We drove for hours till we got to a hotel right near an airport. Macey pulled to the back of the parking lot and turned to face me.

"You have to change, those clothes deserved to be burned. Then we are taking you home." She started to get out of the car.

"Home? No Macey, we need to find the others. I need to find the others, they went looking for me now I need to look for them." Bex and Liz seemed to agree with me but Macey, Kim and Anna want to go.

"Cam, you need to go home and to a hospital. You are weak and can't think properly." She handed me clothes from the trunk and told Anna and Kim to get us a room. I locked eyes with Bex and we seemed to be in an agreement on a plan.

"Okay Macey, but can we leave tomorrow? I feel sick and just need sleep." She nodded and we all walked into the hotel, I couldn't think straight knowing Zach could be in danger right now. I took another shower then we decided to get some rest, Bex told me to get some sleep and she'll wake me up when they are asleep. I nodded in response and tried to get some sleep but every time I closed my eyes I saw Catherine and heard her laugh. It was around ten o'clock at night when I felt Bex shake me, I looked around and saw her and Liz up and ready. We were able to sneak out of the room and to the car without waking anyone. Liz was driving and I was in the back.

"They would most likely go to the closest base and I guess that is probably where you were." Bex said slowly, "You wouldn't have to go back but we need your direction on where it is."

"And let you have all the fun? I'm good." I smiled at her and told Liz to get on the highway going North. I knew I would have to go back but not this soon or maybe at all.

A few hours later we were on the same road I was on driving away from it about an hour out. We were driving till we saw someone walking along the road jump to the side and aim a gun. Liz let out a scream and swerved the car. Bex jumped out with a knife but was startled when Grant jumped out from behind the bush.

"I'm sorry I left but Zach made me. Kill him instead." Grant said with his hands up in surrender. I got out of the back and smiled when Grant saw me. "Cam!" He ran over and picked me up in a hug, it felt nice and safe but he quickly dropped me. "Are you okay?" His hands went to my stomach, when he pulled it away it was covered in blood.

"I'm fine." Was the last thing I said before I blacked out.

Zach POV

I don't remember much but getting thrown in the back of a van with Tina. I woke up in a small cell next to Tina, I shook her awake and she jumped up. We heard footsteps approaching rapidly. I wasn't surprised to she the devil herself when the door opened. She had one of her goons with her who was smirking like no tomorrow.

"Hello Zachery. Have you missed me?" She walked closer to me for a hug but I backed away.

"Never." I spit out with as much venom as I could.

"Well if you are going to be that way then I won't take you to see Cameron." She turned around and I through her against the wall with my forearm pressed against her neck. The guard held Tina back as she tried to help.

"Where is Cammie?" I practically growled.

"She is safe for now but I'll take a step back or I kill them both." I could hear the mischief in her voice.

"What do you mean 'both'?" I pressed hard and she looked shocked.

"She didn't tell you? Oh well, maybe it's not yours." I twisted her arm behind her back.

"Tell me now." I demanded, I had a feeling on what she could be saying but I doubt it's true.

"Cameron is pregnant." The words hit me like bricks as I stumbled back. I ran my hand through my hair. How could this happen? I mean I know how it happened but we used protection. "I said it may not be yours, you don't know what she does when you're not around." Catherine stated then turned and walked out with her goon close behind, I must have said that out loud. I sat on the ground trying to think why Cam wouldn't tell me or did she not have the chance. Or did she not know? I felt Tina sit next to me and put a hand on my shoulder.

"Cammie wouldn't cheat on you Zach, she's not like that."

"You don't know that. You haven't known her for years. And she seemed quite fond of Jimmy." I stood up frustrated, I need to hit something. I started to hit the wall before Tina dragged me away from it.

"Don't let her get in your head. Cammie may not even be pregnant, she could be tricking you so she has something over your head. Just calm down and lets think of away out of here." I nodded my head and took a few deep breaths. Tina walked over to the door and motioned for me to come behind her, she took a clip from her hair and started to pick the lock. The lock popped open with a minute, she swung the door open and we were ready to fight but there were no guards outside. I grabbed her arm and pulled her right, I knew this base like the back of my hand, I pulled her to the security room around the corner. It was one of the smaller, unknown bases. We knocked out the guards in there quickly and silently. I pulled up the security cameras, looking in every room, every cell but I couldn't find Cam. Catherine was talking to someone in a hallway but I couldn't see his face.

"Come on, it's time to leave. Cammie isn't here." I turn towards the door as there is an explosion. Tina looked at me with fear in her eyes, "It's really time to go now." We ran through the hallways to an exit as the building was collapsing. What could have set off that explosion. We ran out the building into the woods, we kept running for what felt like miles till we ran into a group of agents. I recognized one as Agent Townsend.

"Where you the ones behind that explosion?" I was about to say no when I heard another voice behind us.

"You know it was me, Townsend." Agent Cameron walked forward and gave Tina a side hug. "You, Miss. Walters, are in big trouble once we get back to Gallagher. You too, Zachery." I nodded as Agent Townsend order his team to search the ruins.

"Catherine was in there." I say, Agent Townsend then talks to his team quietly so we couldn't hear and Agent Cameron leads us to an open space with a helicopter. Once we get on, we take off immediately. "Agent Cameron-"

"Call me Abby, please." She cuts me off while taking off her vest.

"Abby, where are we going? We need to find Cammie." I finished.

"And we will but right now I need to get her back to Gallagher and question you both." She lets a small smile creep it's way onto her face, "We are going to find her." The ride to an airport was short and the ride to Washington D.C. was short as we sat in a comfortable silents. Abby read and filled out paper work while Tina napped, just stared out the window.

Once we got to Gallagher, Abby brought us to the headmistress office and sitting there was Macey, Anna, and Kim with a teacher. Abby rolled her eyes as she ran a hand through her hair, "Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't all of you start out together?"

"Yes but Mr. Arrogant wanted to play superhero and left." Macey quipped.

"i trust you can handle this, Abigail?" The old teacher walked over to Abby.

"Yes Patricia, thank you." She nodded her head as she left, Abby made her way to sit behind the desk and motioned for me and Tina to sit down. "How about we start from the beginning? Macey, you start."

"Cam went missing, we wanted to help so we came here and found them," Macey gestured to Tina, Anna, and Kim, "We then traveled around looking for Cam for weeks but couldn't find her. Finally, in Colorado, we were at a motel when Zach, Grant and Tina got a great idea to up and leave in the middle of the night. The next morning the rest of us, Bex, Anna, Liz, Kim and I, where deciding whether or not to stay another day or leave, that's when we ran into Cammie."

"You found Cammie?!" Abby, Tina, and I all screamed.

"Well technically she found us." Anna responded.

"Then she left in the middle of the night with Liz and Bex." Kim added. Abby left out a sigh.

"She left to look for you." Macey glared at me. "Where is Grant anyway?"

"Zach and I got caught, Grant was able to get away." Tina explained.

"Well, Tina, Kim, Anna go to your room get clean up, you start classes tomorrow. Macey, you're going back to Roseville and Zach you will be staying in sublevel three to be questioned further."

"What?" I stand up as Agent Townsend walks in and puts a firm grasp on my arm, dragging me towards the sublevels. As we were in the elevator going down I looked at Agent Townsend, "Where is Joe Solomon? I want to talk to him."

"He is busy." The elevator dings and he drags me down the long hallway all the way to the end and puts me in a room with a table and two chairs opposite to each other.

"He's busy doing what?" I look at him as he stands in the door way.

"Taking care of his wife, you know they just lost their daughter and are pretty upset about it." Agent Townsend said sarcastically while shrugging his shoulders. He sat down across from me and put a file on the table I didn't realize he had.

"I refuse to speak to anyone but him." I cross my arms and lean back in my seat.

"Be difficult." He said before he got up and walked out. They must trust me enough to not cuff me. Just as I think that Agent Townsend comes back in with hand cuffs and locks me to the table then points to the camera in the corner of the room. Great.

Please tell me what you think and what you want to happen next and I'll try to update sooner. Truth be told, I say that every chapter and how often does it happen? Not a lot but I do try. Anyways, thank you so much for sticking with me and this story.
