Hello again my wonderful readers! Letting you know I'm finally back in the States! Yay! You know what that means? I have FINALLY read OGSY. About time don't you think? Bought the book and I have to say, I'm completely amazed at Ally Carter's sheer genius.

I won't spoil any of it for those of you who haven't read it yet, but I was literally jumping up and down when I had the book in my hands leaving the bookstore. :)

There also won't be any spoilers in the rest of the story so don't worry. After reading the book I realized that nothing would be affected by the new revelations in GG4 (I tried to avoid anything that was "unanswered" in the first place for this very reason).

So... enjoy this long overdue chapter. It's been a week hasn't it since I last updated? Shame on me I guess.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Gallagher Girls series.

ZACH

Zach glared at sorry excuse for a man in front of him. Elliot Greene.

Ever since the exchange, Elliot had always been jealous of Zach's relationship with Cammie. Why couldn't Elliot have just dated the senior girls like the rest of the seniors had on the exchange?

If it wasn't for Zach's constant threatening with Grant and Jonas at his side, Zach was sure Elliot would have tried to make a move sooner.

Elliot threw Zach a wicked smile which just made Zach angrier.

"Don't make me repeat it again Elliot. Why are you here?"

"But you just repeated it Zachary," Elliot replied in an overly innocent voice, "Besides, I have every right to be here as you do. I think Cammie would rather see the man who saved her rather than the one who only got her knocked up. Weren't you with the Circle the last time I saw you?"

Zach flinched. Andrew and Lina didn't know about what had happened 15 years ago.

"Andrew, Lina would you step outside?" Zach asked them both.

Lina looked confused and Andrew obviously wanted to know why they were being chased out, but neither of them said a word due to Zach's stern and maybe slightly desperate tone of voice. They silently stepped out of the room and Lina's eyes never left Cammie's sleeping figure.

Elliot gave Zach an amused look.

"What? The kiddies don't know yet?"

"Not enough clearance." was Zach's clever answer.

Elliot laughed. "Okay, sure."

Zach gave Elliot a nasty look. "Weren't you with the Ring of Ashton last time I saw you?"

Elliot waved it dismissively with his hand. "Double agents, triple agents, this business is just way too confusing don't you agree? Us triple agents should stick together."

Elliot then tried to casually slide his arm around Zach in a friendly 'let's be buddies!' way. Zach just avoided him and looked at him with disgust.

Elliot pretended to be hurt. "Fine. You don't want to be friends?" he said in a mocking tone.

"Never." Zach wasn't like Elliot. Zach hadn't been a triple agent for the special treatment from both sides. It had all been for Cammie, for the one he loved. No, scratch that. Had loved.

Elliot looked at Zach seriously. "Then we're enemies. I guess we always have been haven't we? I guess I'm here for one thing. To capture Cameron Morgan's heart. The one you so carelessly threw away."

Zach was seeing red. Or maybe it was green. Maybe Christmas had just come back for a second time this year.

"Stay away from her Elliot. She doesn't need to be caught up in your games."

"Don't you think that's a bit ironic coming from you? Anyways, you lost the right to threaten me when you got married don't you think?"

"She's still my friend, so leave her alone."

Zach and Elliot got into each other's faces and glared daggers at each other. The staring contest would have soon turned into a fist fight if both men hadn't frozen at the sound of Cameron Morgan's voice.

"But it wasn't me! I didn't do it! Why is the Ring of Ashton after me?" Zach noticed Cammie was sleep talking and whimpering. Cammie sleep talked? That was new to him.

It looked like it was new to Elliot too since he was staring at her with a disbelieving look.

"Zach…" Cammie whispered. Zach smirked at Elliot who looked ready to punch something.

"Elliot….?" Zach's smirk faded a little while Elliot perked up. Both of them hovered over Cammie and anticipated what she would say next.

Zach could honestly say he was shocked though when Cammie opened her eyes and looked at the two men hovering over her and said

"Did you two honestly believe I was sleep talking? Spies don't sleep talk, duh."

Well he couldn't deny being shocked since he just happened to jump back and not so gracefully knock over a chair. Elliot on the other hand, had fainted.

Cammie burst out laughing, but managed to compose herself enough to call the nurse to take Elliot to another room. The nurse took Elliot away and stared in a demeaning way at Zach for disturbing the patient's rest.

Once they were the only two left in the room, Zach started to speak.

"Cammie, about that letter you gave me-"

Cammie cut him off with a wave of her hand, turned to face Zach and looked at him with a serious expression.

"Zach, I need to you to come to my debriefing."

Zach looked at her with confusion.

"Why?"

Cammie sighed and rubbed her temples like she had a headache.

"There are some parts of the mission you need to know. You've already missed both Chloe and Elliot's debriefing so you'll have to go to mine. I'll get Mom to watch Andrew and Angel while we're there."

"Why can't you just tell me after your debriefing?" Zach was extremely confused.

"BECAUSE Zach. Because I don't want to be there when you find out."

The last part was so soft Zach wouldn't have picked it up if it wasn't for his spy hearing.

"I'll be there." Zach replied in what he hoped to be a reassuring voice and stepped out of the room.

The first three steps out of the door and Zach was ambushed by his two children with a lot of questions.

"Who's Elliot?"

"What did he want?"

"Why did he faint?"

"Is Mom okay?"

"What exactly happened?"

"Is Cammie awake?"

"Did she tell you anything?"

"BREATHE!" Zach commanded and they both shut up.

"Elliot is just an old acquaintance of mine and he was just a little shocked, that's all. Your mother is fine, Lina. Tomorrow you two will go back to Gallagher and stay with Mrs. Morgan while I go to Cammie's debriefing, alright?"

The two just nodded silently and followed Zach out the door.

The next day Zach had dropped off Andrew and Lina at Gallagher and was making his way to the Pentagon City Mall.

After cryptic code talking and a full body scan down a fitting room into the CIA Headquarters, Zachary Goode was anxious to know what Cammie needed to tell him.

Three hours later when leaving the room with a one way mirror that looked into the interrogation room, only two things stuck in Zachary Goode's boggled mind.

"I burst into the room and found Trevor and Chloe naked in bed."

"Chloe was PMSing when she found out Zach and I were talking and started shooting at me. Then I got tripped by Trevor and one of her bullets hit me in the leg."

Cammie obvious attempt to lighten up a bad situation failed badly. Zach wasn't laughing.

If fact, Zach wasn't sure what he was doing.

Witnesses would say later they saw him storm out of the room and into the shooting range faster than you could say "spy" and fire 50 rounds of ammunition at a target hitting a bulls-eye every time with an extremely crazed look on his face.

Said person then went to various interrogation rooms with quite the intimidating look and got 23 criminals to "start talking" after probably 3 years of silence.

Because nothing is scarier than a highly trained spy with pent up anger from being stuck with cocky and annoying teenage spy-in-training boys for a good 15 years, a messed up life and a broken heart.

Zach found himself about to punch a wall when an arm reached out to stop him.

"You don't want to do that. Punching that wall may very well cause the room to go into lockdown and have poisonous gasses knock us out, don't you agree? Plus you're hand will hurt."

Zach laughed a humorless laugh.

"You really think I care about my hand at the very moment when I just found out my wife cheated on me and tried to kill you Cammie?"

Cameron Morgan let go of his arm and looked up pointedly at him.

"You know everyone fled the shooting range when they took one look at your face? I think half of them debated having you sedated for a while."

The stood there in silence.

"You needed to know. You needed to know." Cammie said over and over. It sounded more like she was trying to convince herself that she did the right thing than convince Zach.

Zach just stood there for a while and stared off into space. His wife cheated on him and shot his ex-girlfriend, almost killing her. His ex-girlfriend had gone on a mission to rescue his "MIA" wife, left him a note saying she loved him, gotten herself almost killed and refused to talk to him about aforementioned letter.

By the way he also had two kids from women mentioned above who would be caught in the whole mess as well.

His life officially sucked.

"What are you going to do now Zach?" Cammie's voice came out soft and cautious.

Zach knew there were a lot of things he could do.

He could volunteer for a mission and run away from his problems, again.

He could forgive Chloe and try to fix things up, even though he knew that things would never be the same.

He could divorce Chloe and marry Cammie (after all, the woman did say she loved him right?).

But someone, or many some ones, would be hurt with all those choices. Someone would always be hurt. So Zach gave up holding the frustrated scream that had threatened to leave his lips for the last 2 hours and walked away from Cammie while whispering three words over and over.

"I don't know….. I don't know…."

Did you like it? I hope you did :)

This chapter seemed really info-packed to me so I hope it wasn't too confusing. You'll have to wait for the next chapter to see what Zach's final decision is. ;)

Review please? (I no longer need to threaten you about spoilers! Yay! But you probably shouldn't since people who haven't read GG4 might stumble upon it? Oh well, I won't stop you. )

p.s. I have an idea for another story that i'll start writing after I finally finish this one (which by the way will be wrapping up soon). It's going to be called

"Absence Makes the Spy Grow Stronger" and about Cammie's 6th grade year after her father goes missing and before she goes to Gallagher.

**Now no one steal my idea or I'll be very very mad**

Just wanted to tell you so you know what to expect from me in the future ;)

(and I'm not the most patient person. I needed to share my idea with you all but I haven't found time to write the actual story yet-barely enough time for this one..- so yeah. )
