I saw my mum coming, well… I heard her first through comms… but still. As she crouched over by Joe, I turned into the chameleon I am and snuck up behind her. Giving her a hug, I stuck a patch on her and laid her gently down by Joe.
"Remember I done this for your own good." I whispered as I turned around and ran.

It had been a while since Joe and Ms Morgan said they would walk back, I began to wonder if something has gone wrong. I snuck out the door and through a secret passage way and began to trace the high way.
"Joe!" I called out, I stopped when I saw a branch bent at the wrong angle, I looked through. I saw some foot prints that showed who ever made them, was running. I slipped in and followed the messed up dirt.
"Joe!" I yelled out again, I spotted something move around the corner and saw Cammie running.
"Cammie!" She looked at me and stopped for a second, then took off. I followed.
"Go away Zach!" She screamed back at me rounding a large tree. I followed closing the space between us. I grabbed her around the waist and tackled her to the floor, pinning her under me I looked at her in the eye. I looked at the scratches on her face where she'd ran through the undergrowth trying to get away from me. I looked at the dirt that marked her perfect face. Then I looked at her glassy blue eyes that had tears brimming them.
"Don't do that!" I said softly, keeping my grip on her.
"Do what?" She looked at me squarely, "Run away or cry?"
"Cry." I replied. "Please, just don't cry." The tears suddenly disappeared.
"Zach, I said go away, so please can you just get off me?"
"Sorry, Gallagher Girl, I can't do that." I said a bit rougher this time.
"Why are you doing this?" She asked me, trying to struggle to get her hand to the patches in her pocket. I lay down so my weight squashed her as I stuffed my hand in her pocket and threw the patches away.
"Zach!" She screamed as she eyed the patches whilst I felt through her pockets for more. "Get off me! Your hurting me!" I looked at her, my hand still in her pocket.
"Cammie, I'm not getting off you, because I know if I do, you will run again. And I need to check your pockets." She rolled her eyes at me.
"Zach, just leave me alone please. Let me go, then you'll all be safe."
"You don't get it do you?" I said it a bit harder than I intended to and carried on. "I am always in danger, my mother owns the COC. She is after me just as much as she is after you!" I instantly felt bad when she turned her head to the side.
"Zach, its not just you and me in this universe. There are others. And we are endangering them. Why don't you run away with me? Together, to keep each other safe?"
I thought to myself and made up a plan. I could hear Rachael and Joe were near.
"Okay. Their getting close, come on." As she stood up to brush her self off, I picked her up and flung her over my shoulder.
"Zach!" She screamed, "Put me down!" She hissed.
"Joe, I see them!" I turned around to see Rachael running towards us. Joe came running around and grabbed the now kicking and screaming Cammie off my shoulder. Flinging her over his shoulder, we started the run back to the school.
"Please! Joe! Just let me go!" Cammie continued to scream at him. She was squirming and hitting him, tears pouring out her eyes it desperation. It was tearing me up inside. I looked at Rachael and she looked at me, and for the first time, I saw her mask fall, I saw the pained look in her eyes, then just as quick as it came, it went.
"Open the gates!" Rachael yelled at Bubble gum guard. He looked at us then opened it.
"JOE PUT ME DOWN!" Cammie screamed again as Rachael opened the doors and we walked into the foyer. Everybody looked at us.
"Cammie! Mr Solomon what are you doing?" Macey yelled running down the stairs towards us.
"Macey. She's tried running away again, she knocked both her mum and Mr Solomon out cold. We cant put her down with out her running away!" I said grabbing Macey arms.
"But her hair!" Macey said sighing at the sight of Mr Solomon spinning in endless circles with Cammie kicking and screaming on his shoulder.
"Cameron Morgan be quiet now!" Her mum yelled at her, but to no avail. She carried on screaming and saying some very colourful words in every language she knows. A crowd gathered round to watch as Joe struggled with her.
"What is this? Free circus? Scoot unless you want to loose some limbs!" A strong british accent yelled as Bex walked through the crowd.
"Zach, stop her!" She said walking over to me.
"Cammie!" I yelled at her, she stopped squirming and went limp on Joes shoulder. I walked over to her and moved her long blonde hair out of her tear stained face.
"Cams?" She lifted her head a bit.
"I'm so sorry Zach." She said as more tears fell.
"Its okay Gallagher Girl." Joe put her on the floor and she fell into me in a hug.
"It's going to be okay Cammie. Everything is going to be fine." I said soothing her and smoothing her hair down.
"If only I could believe you." She said as I felt her breathing even out and I realised one of the greatest spies I knew, had just fallen asleep on me.
