Chapter 11
Cammie's point of view
Why did Zach follow me out into the forest?
Zach's Point of view
Yes. I followed Cam out into the forest. Stupid… I know, but I already lost her once. I wasn't about to lose her again. I was still in shock that Cam was Vanessa, but I should have seen it coming. Nobody else knew how to get into the house, or that it even existed. That should have been the first big clue. The second was when 'Vanessa' actually told us what she'd been doing, or part of it. Spies keep secrets, it's what we do. We also don't go around telling others those secrets. I was so in shock from starting to figure out what was going on, that I didn't realize Cam had handed me a gun and was already moving again. After this is over, she owes me a big explanation.
Cam's point of view
I owe Zach a big explanation. He didn't even realize I was moving again. I turned around and he just stood there with the same expression on his face. "Zach. I'm going ahead. I need you to stay here and guard the entrance. I think I know who these people are. They will kill you, but they can't kill me. Whatever happens, don't come after me. When I find them, I have to go back to base with them. As I leave, it'll turn off the code red and you can go back in. Transport everyone in there to Gallagher and wait for me. I'll meet you there as soon as I can. I love you," I say as I kiss his check and disappear into the woods.
I found the two men that had tripped the alarm half an hour later. I recognized them from training. They were skilled trackers, but failed at covering their tracks and blending in. I mean, who wears a bright neon orange jacket when trying to blend into a forest.
"What are you guys doing? Are you trying to be noticed?" I yelled as I walked over there with an amused expression on my face.
"Where have you been? You ran away and we were sent because someone mentioned that you were working against us," one man asked.
"Uh. I was going work for Jake… duh."
"Who's Jake?" the other man asked
"The boss," I replied. Did few people know his real name? "Anyways, I finished so we can get back to base. I need to meet with Jake, like now." As I walked with them back to the plane, I tripped the alarm so the code red would end. By the time we got back to base, I knew Zach was already getting everyone ready for the drive to Gallagher. When we got back to base, I ran straight to Jake's office and burst through the door.
"There you are. Don't run off again, I was worried about you."
"I could tell, sending snipers after me," I replied letting the anger into my voice. "I thought you trusted me. I disappear for a couple days and kill Stuart, because turns out he was the mole, and the thanks I get is that you send snipers after me. I thought you cared about me," I say with a pout.
"I'm sorry, and I do trust you and care about you. I've just been stressed lately because I've had five agents killed because they were really working for the CIA. Again I am really truly sorry," he replied leaning in. Just before he kissed me I moved to the side.
"Well as your punishment, no kisses for you for a couple days. Don't feel bad, this is just so you learn your lesson," I reply. "Now if you will excuse me, I am very tired from that so I am going to take a nap," I say leaving the room.
