A/N: I've done it. I've updated! I'm SO sorry, it's such a long time since I updated, I'm usually really quick at updating but school slowed me down LOTS and I just couldn't get this chapter right. I hope it's okay though and it's a long chapter to make up for it!

Thanks for reviews, loving them! Please read & review!

'And where do you think YOU'RE going' Aunt Abby blocked the corridor in front of me, her hands rested firmly on her hips.

'Back to my room' I shrugged casually.

'Right… make sure you stay there then' Aunt Abby fumbled on and I wondered if this really was one of the CIA's best spies.

'Of course Aunt Abby' I shot her a smile and watched her retreat down the corridor to my mom's office. Of course I followed.

Now, as a girl I would of course have done the old 'listening outside the door' trick, but I knew that it wouldn't be good enough when listening to a conversation going on between two of the best spies in the world.

I wasn't sure how I found the passageway, but that didn't matter, because all I could concentrate on was the crying at the end of it… and the hand that pulled me back.

'No, Cammie, trust me, you don't want to listen to this'

I gritted my teeth. 'I have to know Zach, I need to know what my mom thinks about me'

'Cammie, you don't want to know' Zach pleaded with me and I had a feeling he was trying to stop himself from picking me up and carrying me out.

I turned round and looked him in the eyes. 'I have to know Zach'

Zach didn't say anything but he let go of my arm. I took advantage of the opportunity and sprinted down the corridor.

The crying became louder and louder until I just wanted to break through the wall and comfort my mom, but of course my aunt was already onto it.

'Rachel, it won't be long, she'll remember soon' Aunt Abby's voice radiated calmness.

'What if she never remembers me? What if I really have lost my daughter?' it was hard to distinguish her words through the sobs.

'You'll never lose her Rachel, never' Aunt Abby reassured her.

'What if I already have?' My mom sobbed into Aunt Abby's shoulder. 'She remembers her aunt but not her mom…'

'Just give her time Rachel'

'Maybe I should leave, maybe she's better off without me, maybe I should have…'

'No!' I'd never heard so much panic in one word before, my Aunt was literally begging with my mom now. 'No, don't you dare say that… just… don't you dare!'

'I'm sorry' my mom leaned back in her chair. 'I'm sorry, that wasn't fair of me to bring it up'

'It's not your fault' Suddenly Aunt Abby seemed furious. 'You should tell Cammie what you almost did… what you did… just because she decided to do a disappearing act'

'Let's not play the blame game again Abby' my mom pleaded. 'I was to blame too; I should have been more honest with Cammie'

'Cammie, we need to get out of here now… and…'

'Sh!' I hushed Zach who was trying to tug me back down the corridor.

'Cammie, now!' Zach was so pleading I almost gave in. I wish I had given in because the words that came next were impossible to forget.

'She needs to know' Aunt Abby said finally.

'Oh I'm sure that would be a great conversation with my daughter who doesn't remember me' my mom mocked sarcastically. 'Oh by the way Cammie, I jumped off the fifth floor balcony and died for a minute before being resuscitated, oh and of course the time I almost died in hospital too'

I didn't hear anymore. Maybe it was because Zach was shouting after me, or because I was running faster than I was sure I had ever run before, or maybe it was the loud buzzing in my ears that made me feel like dropping to the floor and passing out.

'You took your time' Macey stated as I slipped into our room.

I simply shrugged.

'Got your excuse ready?' Macey continued.

I nodded.

'Are you okay' Macey asked.

I didn't reply.

'It will be fine, we go to the pharmacy, you give them your excuse, and we leave'

'Okay' I forced myself to concentrate.

'Be careful Cam' the voice behind me made me jump and I turned to face Liz. She shifted about awkwardly and then pulled me into a hug. 'I've hijacked the CCTV so I'll be able to see you the whole time on my laptop'

'Thanks Liz' I smiled. I turned to Bex.

'Don't get lost…' Bex shrugged.

'Thanks…' I started.

'It wasn't a compliment' Bex retorted rudely before leaving the room and slamming the door behind her.

I sighed deeply and then turned to Zach.

It wasn't long before I was changed out of my uniform and I was leading Zach down the secret passageway. His hand was in mine again.

'It will be fine' He soothed as we came out of the tunnel, the dark sky reflecting my mood.

'I know' I smiled.

'Do you want to talk about what you heard earlier?' Zach asked sympathetically. But I didn't deserve sympathy.

'Everything okay so far Cammie?' I heard Macey through my Comms unit.

'We're good' I heard Zach's happy reply as he forgot about his question.

'I have to go in by myself Zach, they can't know that me and you know each other, I'm meant to be two people remember' I told him as we stopped outside the pharmacy.

Zach hesitated obviously unhappy about it but he turned me to face him.

'I'll be right around the corner okay, just come straight back out if you need me'

'Okay' I agreed as I took a step closer to the door of the pharmacy.

'Oh! Cammie!' Josh exclaimed from the counter. 'I didn't hear the bell go off!'

I glanced back at the door and saw the mechanism for the bell that went off as some old man exited the shop. We were alone.

I shrugged. 'Maybe it's broken…'

'Maybe…' Josh looked unconvinced.

'So, I missed you at school' Josh started, taking a step closer.

I took a step back. 'Oh, at least you have DeeDee' I worded carefully.

'It's not the same' Josh took another step towards me.

'Well, I actually came to tell you that I'm moving away, far away' I spoke quickly, now desperate to get out. 'Thanks for looking after me on the first day, and can you thank DeeDee for me too please'

'Okay sure' Josh smiled, he was so close to me now that I could feel his breath against my face. 'It's a shame really… we were getting really close…'

'We only knew each other for a few days' I retorted.

'Still, I feel like I've known you for longer' Josh grinned, coming even closer.

It was hard to hear what he was saying and I knew something was wrong. I couldn't hear Zach at all through my comms unit, there was just a constant stream of static with the occasional frantic shout from Macey's end.

Suddenly I heard Bex's voice through the static. 'Cammie, you need to get out of that shop… NOW!'

Josh was taking gradual steps closer.

'I have to go!' I blurted out to Josh. His face fell.

I was about to say something to try to soften the blow but I heard Bex's voice frantic through the comms. 'Cammie, I'm not kidding when I say get out NOW!'

I turned on my heel quickly and began to walk as fast as possible towards the door. I guess it was just unlucky I didn't make it there in time.

I turned before I heard the smash of the skylight window and before someone was standing behind me, their hand suddenly clasped around my mouth.

Josh's eyes widened before a napotine patch was slapped across his head and he fell to the floor. There was no time to check he was okay, I had my own problems. Fully grown men that must have weighed over two hundred pounds began to drop through the skylight and run towards me, someone was dragging me roughly backwards, my arms throbbed and as they pulled my arms behind me. Something was in front of my face, some kind of rag that had a sickly smell. My vision began to blur and I felt myself dropping but not before I heard someone say 'I bet this brings back memories Cammie'

There was a rag around my face, someone was dragging me away. I slammed my head into their skull. My own head cracked painfully too. I was coated in blood, unfortunately most of it was my own. Others began to try their luck at dragging me away, the rag being held over my mouth numerous times but I kept fighting, I couldn't give up. I'd come this far.

'Very good Cameron, not bad for someone who doesn't remember her life' someone snarled. Catherine.

'Yeah, thanks to you' I gasped, finally registering the pain pulsing through my body. I was pressed up against a broken the window. Bodies lay around me... Had I done that? Regardless, it was just me and Catherine now.

'Well, it wasn't meant to happen this way but that idiot Frank hit you too hard one day when you weren't telling us what we wanted to know. But you know now don't you Cammie? You have the names we need?'

'Where's Zach?' I asked, desperate for a distraction.

'Oh, he's out cold in an alleyway somewhere' Catherine laughed.

I pressed myself harder against the glass, the shards cutting painfully against my back. I needed to check my surroundings, I knew I had too, but at the same time I couldn't take my eyes off of Catherine.

'How are you here?' I stammered.

'Oh those CIA cells are a piece of cake to break out of, I'm surprised your mom didn't tell you I had escaped to be honest, to stay away from me, unless… she doesn't know you're here of course' The look on my face confirmed she was right and the shock on my face registered I obviously hadn't been told anything.

'Well, I'm here now' my mom's voice which was still fairly new to me called out from the doorway. Catherine's eyes widened as she was joined by Zach who was sporting a bleeding head.

'Cammie get behind me now' my mom's voice was strong and powerful.

I attempted to stand but my shaking legs wouldn't take my weight and I fell back down against the window.

'Why didn't you tell me?' I directed my question towards my mom.

'I'm sorry Cammie; I didn't want to worry you' my mom pleaded for me to understand. But I didn't.

I looked down at my hands.

'How touching' Catherine spat as she came closer to me, but my mom got there first.

'I wouldn't come any closer' my mom warned.

'Oh really? And what are you going to do about it?' Catherine replied smugly.

'Me? Nothing. But I think those guys might have something to say' my mom replied just as smugly as she gestured to the large guys who had dropped down from the skylight behind Catherine.

I didn't have time to blink before Catherine had been pulled into a headlock and Zach was grabbing my hand.

'Get Cammie safely inside the mansion, now Zach!' My mom yelled over the shouting of Catherine.

Zach didn't hesitate as he began pulling me past all the bodies on the floor. I'd done that.

'No' I croaked finally. 'My mom… I have to help… I have to…'

'You don't need to do anything Cammie' Zach demanded, almost pulling my arm out of its socket as he dragged me across the shop.

'Is everyone okay? We all came here straight after we heard about the attempted burglary!' An old woman bustled up to me. I walked straight past her.

'How rude!' The woman exclaimed as she craned her head to get a better look at the action happening in the pharmacy.

'Give the girl a break, she's injured' Zach snapped at the woman before he pulled me away again.

Everything was a blur as we walked through the streets of Roseville. I could vaguely make out every person that we passed staring at us. I didn't understand why until I glanced in a shop window. My whole face was streaked with blood, my hair a matted mess and I was deathly pale, my whole body was shaking.

'Is she okay?'

'She's fine'

'Does she need any help?'

'She's fine'

Zach reassured the worried civilians of Roseville who continued to stare as he dragged me towards the gates of Gallagher.

Suddenly I couldn't take it anymore.

'I can't do this anymore Zach!' my voice was hysterical almost, the sobs racking through my body as I collapsed outside the gates.

'Don't say that Cammie, it will get better' Zach knelt down beside me.

'My mom almost died because of me, Bex is angry at me, Macey will never forgive me and…'

'And I love you' Zach finished.

Those are the words I tried to focus on as my world turned black and I drifted into unconsciousness.
