Cam POV

Zach kept the ring because he was going to propose...to me? Or to someone else? I shook the thought out of my head finally feeling the effects of my late night swim, cold seeped into every part of my body. When I walked back into the room, Jonas and Nick were cleaning up their equipment. Liz was waiting with a cup of tea for me.

'You're wet' She commented handing me the hot cup.

'Zach threw me in the water' I muttered. She nodded as if understanding perfectly. She then went to the other side of the room and handed me a towel. 'Thank you' She smiled. I looked over at Tom to see not only an IV drip but a blood bag hanging onimously.

'How...how is he?' I asked. Nick and Jonas shared a look.

'It doesn't look good Cam' Jonas spoke first 'The bullet sliced through but apparently splintered off. He's going to need a major operation' I collapsed onto the chair that Liz had placed behind me.

'Macey's calling the right people and an air ambulance should be here soon. I've notified his brother' Nick added. I just nodded, If I spoke, I might scream or cry or both.

'There's not much else I can do Cam' Nick squeezed my arm

'You did your best' I whispered

'Townsend asked if you wanted to accompany him to the hospital, stay with him' I looked over at Tom's frail figure. I bit back the tears.

'I'll be no use to him there. I hate hospitals and I'll just be worried about all of you'

'But if you're with us, you'll be worried about him' Jonas studied me carefully

'The mission will distract me' I snapped. The three in the room shared a look. I knew what they were all thinking, but none of them dared to speak. If I was distracted on a mission, more mistakes could be made...

There was no point in me trying to get back to sleep so I set up my laptop and accessed all the information I could find on Camilla Douglas.

There wasn't much information on her, she was trained at Birchtree Academy for the highly skilled. Basically Gallagher for England. I looked through her school records, she was average at most things; never top in exams like Liz, never the strongest like Bex, never as multifunctional as Macey and she most definitely wasn't a chameleon like me. Her skin was olive and glowing, her hair was straight and silky, her eyes were amber and wild, her smile was more like a smirk. She had the easy confidence about her that reminded me of Zach... but Zach wouldn't have messed up on a mission like she did… Townsend had brought over all of her files. I began to sieve through them, laying them across the kitchen counter, trying to connect the dots. There was one where she was sitting on the lap of a man, laughing. His face was buried in her neck, it must have been a hot day, the guy was shirtless, his muscles bulging, all you could see was a small scar running across his shoulder blade. I studied another photo of her, from the school. It was easy to find her among the other girls, she was the only one with a red bow in her hair. The colour stood out against her skin and hair like the green light to Gatsby, drawing you in. Although she was average academically, she was anything but average in appearance. I picked up another letter, it was the last mission report transaction she had with Townsend;

Townsend: Anything new?

Camilla: Nothing out of the ordinary, I'm meeting Elijah tomorrow to talk about the shipment.

Townsend: Do you need back up?

Camilla: I have a plan in place

Townsend: They'll do a bug sweep, make sure everything is hidden or destroyed

Camilla: Don't I always

Elijah. I recognise that name from the profiles I read on the plan. Ex special forces turned criminal. I studied the transmission over again. Camilla was told that she had to get rid of her bugs and trackers and yet she forgot...I mean she could have easily forgotten one...I have a plan in place...that line didn't sit well with me. It seemed odd that she chose to have no backup...I was so consumed with mapping everything out that I hadn't seen Zach enter the room.

'Found anything?' He asked. I jumped.

'Nothing to concern you' I snapped. I could feel Zach moving behind me. He came around my side and towards the opposite end of the counter. He glanced at me, the papers, Tom and then back at me.

'I don't think you should be doing this'

'I couldn't sleep. The air ambulance will be here soon to take Tom. I thought I'd throw myself into work'

'No, I mean I don't think you should be doing this' He pointed to the paper in front of me

'And why not?' I huffed

'Because you're bias. You'll look for anything incriminating because you don't like the idea that me and her could have been a thing'

'That's not true' I answered quickly.

'Isn't it?' Zach reached across and grabbed my hand. His skin was warm, I could feel myself melting. I snatched my hand back not wanted to think about touching Zach anymore.

'This is my job Zach, I look at all the data and see what should be done next, I'm trying to see how the team can rescue her' I tried very carefully not to say we because Zach is not involved in my team, his life is no longer in my hands. He will watch from the sidelines.

'Do you know where she is?' There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, my stomach tightened.

'No. We thought she was with you'

'Do you know if she's alive?' The hope had vanished

'I'm sorry, I don't know' He banged his fist on the table causing me to jump again.

'You need to find her soon' He practically spat the words out

'I am trying my hardest to-'

'She's pregnant'

Author's note: Don't hate me leaving it on a little cliff hanger! I can feel the anger radiating off of some of you right now...SO SORRY! But you'll find out more on Wednesday! What do you think about learning a bit of Camilla's past? How do you think Cam will react to what Zach just said to her? I have some surprises coming up so I hope ya'll are prepared...and you're going to hate me by the end of the week (just to warn you...). Also, I have a NEW story, based on Ally Carter's Embassy Row series called 'Chaotic Order' which is out today so click on my profile and check it out! I'm really nervous for this story because not many people have written about Embassy Row and I wanted to try it out, I don't know if it will work or not, but I'd love for you all to check it out! xxx

4EverAGallagherGirl: I think that Zach didn't want to tell her the truth because clearly she was upset about Tom but also part of him feels that even if he told the truth, it wouldn't change how Cam feels towards him. Thank you so much! How do you think the announcement will change the dynamics of the Zammie relationship? xxx

gynmast1150: I know, I missed your review! I got sad writing that part as well. Poor Zach, but at least he's had a stronger relationship with Townsend out of this whole mess. That means so much to me because although I love Zammie to bits, I always love for their to be a challenge in the way, I mean Ally Carter put Josh in the way of Cam and Zach! I feel like Cam's still bottling it up especially since Tom is ill and she needs to be strong for him, but what do you think will happen now? Did you expect Zach to say that she was pregnant. xxx

Smiles180: I completely agree with what you said, but what do you think is going to happen now? xxx

Guest: I reckon she'll be make a lot more assumptions soon. Thank you so much! xxx

Zachgoodet: haha I get you! Thank you so much! xxx

Original GallagherGirl: Awwww! Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret ;). Zammie will fight and then have cute moments. Yeah Cam really does like Tom, I feel like he came in at the right time in her life...Thank you so much for your support, I've freaking excited to show you what I have up my sleeve and I can't wait to just binge on uploads! But a broken heart is on the horizon, and it might not be who you expect... xxx

LJ: Awww! Hope you feel better, I do have to warn you that your emotions will be shattered for quite a while...xxx

AllyCarterFan: I want to wrap your fragile heart in warm blanket and give it a nice mug of hot chocolate and sooth it saying that everything will be alright (but I'd be lying because THINGS WILL NOT BE ALRIGHT at least not a while...) Please don't! I can't imagine not having your reviews to respond to! I'VE JUST GOT YOU BACK. I WILL NOT LET GO ALLYCARTERFAN, I WON'T LET GO! If you do need a break I understand...*goes and cry in a corner*. Literally have you read my mind? Zach totally had a Ross and Rachel wedding moment, especially because I was watching that exact episode when I was writing the truth about that mission...I'm so sorry that I'm keeping you waiting, my life has actually got more interesting than I thought it would be so I've been busy. I promise that a cute Zammie moment is coming in Chapter 13 & beginning of 14 and a kiss in chapter 16...but you didn't hear it from me...xxx

GallagherGirl33: Awww, bless you so much! Tom faces a problem in the next chapter and the 'L' word gets said. There's a little snag in my upload schedule coming up but I'll explain about that later. xxx
