Zach POV

'Umm Liz?' Cammie asked nervously looking at her. Liz stepped forward and began typing on the computer. Her brow furrowed. 'Anything?' Cammie asked, moving closer. Liz must have pressed something because what happened next was a blink-and-you'd-miss-it moment flashed on the screen. Run. Cammie backed up and physically tensed. She looked worried.

'This is unbelievable' Liz said, we all looked at the screen

'What is it?' I asked

'This is Matthew's report of the mission. He knew about Hasker. This is evidence...but why didn't he give it in?' Liz turned to us. 'Cammie do yo-' Her faced changed to fear. I looked to where Cammie was just standing. She wasn't there. I looked over in the distance and watched her figure disappear into the trees.

'CAMMIE!' I shouted, already starting to run after her. Fuck. I kept thinking. Cammie's starting to worry me with her unpredictability. She could get herself killed.

'CAMMIE!' Bex shouted coming up behind me. Then we heard a scream. I stopped dead. Listening. Bex came next to me. She was listening out. We were both looking at the forest ahead, Cammie could be anywhere.

'You go left, I go right' I started to move but Bex grabbed my arm, I looked at her, she offered me her other hand which had comms in them. I took one and sprinted off. I pounded my way through the forest. Listening, watching, hoping. I heard a deep laugh that caused me to stop, and hold my gun. I looked around to see where it came from. A large figure emerged from behind a tree.

'Well, well Mr Goode. You really need to keep an eye on Miss Morgan, she's wild like her father'

'I would say that it's nice to see you too Eric, but then I would be lying.'

'Wouldn't be the first time Goode' He retorted.

'How'd you know we'd be here?' I asked

'I've had an eye on you since you stepped off the plane into Vegas' He smiled.

'What do you want with Cammie?'

'She wants answers, just like us.'

'Zach. I. Need. Help' Bex said though the comms.

'You won't get them' I said to him raising my gun. He smiled.

'It looks like we have' He said. I lowered my gun. Understanding what he meant. I needed to find Cammie. I started to run leaving Eric. Stupid? Definately. But I needed to find Cammie, and Bex.

I heard movement, people fighting. Two females. 'CAMMIE!' I shouted running into the direction of the noise. I came to a clearing and saw Bex tackling my mother. They were fighting over something. Something shiny. I aimed my gun at my mother's body. But because of how close her and Bex were, I couldn't risk Bex getting hit. 'Shit' I muttered, realising what I had to do. I ran forward just as a gunshot sounded. I ran as I saw my mother's body roll off Bex. 'BEX' I shouted dropping down next to her. She was breathing heavily. The gun in her hand. Bex stood up and stared at my mother's body. The blood pouring out of the wound over her heart. Catherine was still smiling. The colour was draining from her face fast. She was dying.

'Any last words?' Bex teased. Catherine's smile widened

'You've lost' She whispered. Bex knelt down.

'Thank you for playing the Gallagher Girl Game' She responded with sass. Catherine gave a toothy grin

'The real game will now begin' Her eyes fluttered slightly before closing. She took a deep breath before exhaling. Leaving us in silence. Bex checked my mother's pulse before standing up, her back to me.

'It was the right thing to do Bex' I said

'You didn't do it' She spat

'I didn't get a clear shot' I responded, she spun on me. Her face thunderous.

'No Zach. You had a shot at Eric, and you didn't take it. Charlotte took Cammie and now Eric has her. This was part of his plan! He wanted Cammie, and you handed her right to him' She glared at me and turned back to my mother's body. Taking her gun. She then picked up her own phone and dialled a number

'Mace, get Liz and Preston to monitor any movement in and out of this area. 5 mile radius now. Also track this location, tell Grant to come here' She paused and looked at me 'and bring a body bag' She hung up.

'Bex, I'm sorry' She looked at me with a plastic smile on her face

'I'm going to tell Rachel and Joe that their daughter has been kidnapped because you were too much of a pussy to fire a fucking gun! Really Zach? You said that if we had a shot at your mother, we take it. Eric is just as dangerous, if not more dangerous than Catherine. And you didn't take that shot. Save your apologies for Cammie.' She then walked away from me slightly. Fuck I thought. Bex is right. I had a shot and didn't take it. My mistake could now cost Cammie her life.

Bex POV

I am pissed. More than anything in my life. Zach was caught up in the moment. So was I...yet I managed to kill Catherine. Something that should have been done by the fire at Gallagher all those years ago. I dialled Joe's number and it rung.

Soloman

Joe, is Rachel with you?

Yes, her and Abby. I'll put you on speaker. What's wrong? Did you find Cammie?

We found her

Where was she?

Nebraska

Fiona's? Rachel asked

Yep

Can I speak to her?

I'm sorry Rachel, but that's not possible right now

Why?

Cammie's gone again, Eric has her. There was silence. Catherine's dead I added

Are you sure? Abby asked

I put the bullet through her chest and checked her pulse myself

How's Zach? Joe enquired, I looked over my shoulder and Zach sitting on the ground with his head between his hands

Bad. He had a shot at Eric and didn't take it.

Let me guess, you snapped at him Baxter? I could hear Joe raise his eyebrow.

It's not that I'm worried about

What are you worried about? I took a deep breath.

Catherine said it isn't over. That the real game has just begun. There was a pause at the other end

If this game isn't over, then Cammie's in danger

I think we all are Joe. This is bigger than all of us, and Cammie is the main player.

Then I guess it's game on.
