See what did I tell yall? Quicker updates. Anyway here's chapter 12

Chapter 12

Maya's POV

I was right. Lucas and Zay were in the P&E barn. Lucas was swinging pretty hard at a punching bag. He was seeing red, I could tell.

"Lucas," I said, trying to stop him. He just kept swinging. "Lucas," I said a little louder, stepping between him and the bag. His fist stopped inches from my face.

"Jesus, Maya! I could've just knocked you out," Lucas exclaimed.

"But look I'm fine. All of us are. Can you just calm down a bit and ask questions instead of beating that bag. Because soon it's going to give and nail Zay."

"Okay fine, what exactly happened 6 years ago?"

So we all explained exactly what happened. When one left something out, someone else filled in. I could see him starting to see red again when we finished.

Cammie's POV

Woah. I was told most of that, but not all.

"Holy crap," Bex said, as shocked as the rest of us.

"Yeah, that's why I was going to let her explain," I responded.

Lucas had his fist and jaw clinched. Maya stood up quick, grabbed his arms, and crouched to be at eye level.

"Lucas, hey Lucas, look at me. That was 6 years ago. We are all fine see," Lucas relaxed some.

"I just can't believe he put you all through all that."

"How does Maya calm him so easily?" Tina asked. "He looks like he's going to murder someone and then sees Maya and calms down."

"Yeah, it's as if her presence alone calms him, not fully, but some," Liz adds.

"They used to be engaged. Six years ago to be exact," Macey said.

"So what's this Matthews case I keep hearing about?" Lucas asked.

"What Matthews case?" Riley asked.

"Guys not here." The rest of the group was about to protest. "I'll explain when we get back to a room. Students are starting to show up. And that's the last thing we need, a bunch of future spies overhearing this," Maya finished. And they started walking out.

"Uh, are you guys done at the rooms?" Liz asked into the comms.

"Almost done with last one," Zach responded.

"Good because they are headed your way."

Maya's POV

I wanted to explain both in the room, but this way the others had time to bug our rooms. Maybe this way they'll stop snooping. Oh who am I kidding, they won't stop snooping until they know everything and even then they might not.

We reached the room. Once everyone was in I shut and locked the door.

"So what is the Matthews case?" Riley asked.

"Alright, you might want to sit down, though. Okay, so the Matthews case has been going on for forever, but became more active recently. Riley someone is targeting your entire family, not just you," I said looking right at her. "Everyone you're related to by blood or who you consider family is being targeted. Shawn was assigned when he was younger. His mission was Cory and his family. After the car accident he thought he failed, so he quit everything. That's when Zach got assigned to the case and 6 years ago so was I," I finished.

"Why is it my family being targeted?"

"Because of an ancestor. You're a descendant of Gillian Gallagher, the founder of this school. And she made a powerful enemy who only wants to end her bloodline."

"Why didn't you tell me any of this?"

"For your safety and I wasn't allowed."

"So why now?" Zay asked.

"Because now I think it might be safer if she knew."

Zach's POV

I figured she would tell sooner or later. I can't believe she didn't sweep the room for bugs first. Oh well better for us, we also placed a few small cameras that are going to be disabled after this discussion, but we wanted to see reactions first. Mainly from Lucas, there is something he isn't telling.

"No way Riley's related to Gillian, too?" Macey said.

"Looks like Cammie isn't the only one finding a new family member," Grant joked.

"Why would it be safer if she knew now?" I heard Lucas ask over the comm feed.

"I think it's safer that she told all of us. So this way we can help protect her and everyone. Also this way we know what's happening and don't freak and do something stupid because of it," Farkle replied.

Maya nodded.

"Did you all get what you wanted?" Maya asked turning and staring at the camera. Of course she swept the area for bugs, but she did it with looking like that's what she was doing.

"Crap, busted," Grant said.

"Told you she was good," Cammie said.

"Who are you talking to?" Riley asked. Maya removed the camera from its spot.

"Say hi to the others," Maya said showing them the camera. "Alright, so meet us down here and we will tell you everything you want to know. Asking is easier than snooping," Maya said, then disabled all of the cameras and bugs, with help from Farkle.

"Wow, she's good. And she didn't go to Gallagher?" Tina asked.

"Nope regular school the entire time. She joined Beckett's group at the 12th precinct at around 16. That's when CIA started taking notice. She cracked the Matthews case at 16, a case not even experienced operatives were solving. Including Shawn and Joe," I said.

"You two sound like you have a lot of respect for her," Tina stated.

Cammie and I looked at each other.

"That's because we do," Cammie said.

"And she deserves it," I added.

Maya's POV

We had been sitting here for a few minutes waiting for the others.

"Did you know those were there the entire time?" Zay asked referring to the cameras and bugs.

"I had a feeling. They've been snooping, trying to figure out everything about us since they met us."

"Why?"

"Because they're spies, it's what they do," Farkle replied.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in," I yelled.

Zach, Cammie, Bex, Grant, Liz, Macey and Tina all walked in.

"So what else do you all want to know?" I asked.

"Did you really know Joe as Kermit?" Seriously, that's what Grant wants to know?

"Yes," I said through my teeth.

"What happened?" Grant is really pushing it isn't he?

"I don't know. He just quit showing up when I was 7. He just walked right out and never came back."

Grant started opening his mouth again.

"Any questions about the case?" Farkle cut in, sensing my mood.

"What's the history between Lucas, Zay and Charlie?" Tina asked.

It was silent for a bit. There was knock on the door. I answered it and Emma, Brie, Kaylie and Maddie were standing there in their uniforms.

"Hey, what's up?"

"It's time for the welcome back dinner," Emma said.

"Okay." I turned back toward the room. "We'll continue this later."
