Zach POV
The light was streaming through the unclosed curtains. I guess we were so distracted last night that we didn't bother to close them. I laid still as Cam's head rested gently on my chest. I drew small circles on her back with my thumb. She'd managed to sleep at some point, I'd found it hard, for everytime I shut my eyes I kept reliving everything. Not wanting to fall asleep in case this had all been a dream...
I never thought that I would have been able to hold Cam again, let alone her allow me back into her life. I kissed her forehead tentatively. She smiled and cuddled into me more.
'You know' She groaned 'Some people find it weird to be watched when they sleep' Her eyes opening and focused on me.
'I'm a professional' I winked. She rolled her eyes.
'Last night was…' Cam began, she then blushed and looked away. I raised my eyebrow.
'Yes?' I asked. Cam smiled and planted a light kiss on my lips.
'I love you Zach'
'I love you too Cam' I planted a kiss on her forehead. She smiled.
'We should get up before Sean decides to come bursting in' She pulled away from me and picked up the blanket from the end of the bed. She wrapped it around her and went into the bathroom to change.
Cam POV
I studied my reflection in the mirror, a certain glow seemed to envelope me. I touched my lips and felt a smile spread across my face. For the first time in a long time I had been truly happy in all aspects. I had a son who I love more than anyone, friends who I can count on and Zach. i finally have Zach back. And this time, I was not going to let him go. I got dressed and was about to leave when my secure phone rang.
Hello
Hello Cameron, it's Townsend
Edward, what can I do for you?
Cameron...there's something you need to see. I'm not mean to tell you because it involves an ongoing case, but you need to see
Edward, you're scaring me I whispered. There was silence for a moment.
Look at them and stay safe Cam.
With that the line went dead. I stared at the phone until there was a knock at the door.
'Gallagher Girl, are you okay?' Zach asked
'I'm fine' I plastered a fake smile on my face. Zach saw right through it.
'What's happened?' He asked
'That was your father' I wiggled my phone at him 'And he has something for me'
'A mission?' His eyes widened 'Cam, you cannot be serious'
'Why not?' I huffed
'Well for starters you have a son-'
'We have a son' I snapped
'Cam' He growled, hating my interruption 'We still don't know who's after me and this mission seems a little too convenient'
'Townsend wouldn't put me in danger, you know that'
'I'm not arguing with you about this'
'You don't have to! You don't own me!' We were arguing so intently that we didn't notice the door open and a slightly worried Grant standing in the doorway. He cleared his throat and I jumped back.
'What?' Zach snapped at him
'Breakfast is ready' Grant stood still, not fazed by Zach's tone. Grant's gaze shifted between us two. He then walked away.
'This isn't over' Zach hissed
'I think it is' I muttered following after Grant. I heard Zach swear under his breath.
...
'Morning' I smiled weakly at everyone.
'Morning' Bex smiled
'So… How was last night?' Macey's eyes twinkled
'I don't want to talk about it' I snapped 'Liz, can I borrow your laptop?'
''Um..sure' She slid it across the table. I began to type away to log into the CIA database. Liz peered over and looked at me
'CIA? What are you up to?' As soon as the words left Liz's mouth, the rest of the table fell silent and stared at me.
'Townsend has something for me' I muttered gaining access to the email he sent.
'A mission?' Macey looked at me carefully
'I don't know Mace. He seemed worried about something he's sent me a few files that I need to have a look at, that's all'
'Is that why you and Zach were arguing?' Grant asked. I sighed
'He didn't give me a chance to explain, he just flat out said no.' I shook my head 'I've been so used to doing things my way without resistance that I may have got slightly defensive' I winced under Macey and Bex's intense stare. I didn't look at them too long because the email came through.
'Oh' I said studying the pictures.
'Good oh? Or uh oh?' Liz asked
'Townsend has found the fake police from that night' I whispered
'That's good!' Nick said. I shook my head
'They're dead'
'Uh oh' Grant muttered
'What happened?' Bex asked
'Sniper. Someone who calls herself Femme Fatale left a calling card'
'I've heard about her' Macey gave a slight shiver 'One of the best underground assassins there is. She leaves no witnesses, and if she does, then their days are numbered'
'She's good' I muttered studying the news clippings that Townsend sent along
'Why is he getting you to look into it? And how does this involve the phoney cops?' Bex asked
'I don't-' Suddenly a clicked on a photo of a very familiar scene. It was me in bed, sleeping after giving birth to Sean. Sean laid in a makeshift crib that the other's had made. Sean was asleep and on his stomach was Femme Fatale's calling card.
'Cammie, what's wrong?' Nick asked.
'I think you were right' I looked up at him. I turned the screen round showing all of them the image, their eyes widened in horror. 'It's not Zach she's after, it's me'
Author's note: So Cam and Zach's night of passion was short lived. Don't worry, they'll get back together soon enough...but the villain has been revealed Femme Fatale...who is she? And what is she going to do? Find out more tomorrow xxx
Smiles180: Thank you so much! I know that Zach's outburst is him trying to protect her, but Cam still has a small guard up, he left her for 5 years, that's something she won't forget in a while...xxx
Luckyme22: Welcome back! Hope you had fun with whatever it was that kept you away! Thank you so much! What do you think of all that you've missed? xxx
Zachgoodet: Glad you love it :D. I promise that there will be more Zammie moments to come...as well as a little roadtrip xxx
AllyCarterFan: I know! Zo is such an amazing author, I hope she keeps writing (when and if) foreplay ends (though I hope it won't end anytime soon, I love it too much!) Thank you so much! I think in a new story I'll try to add more Zammie fluff as I know that everyone absolutely loves it xxx
