Wow, sorry it has taken me so long to update. I had a school trip and lots of sports after that. I hope this makes up for it! Second to last chapter!
Zach and I looked up to see my father, Matthew Morgan, standing behind Delilah Goode. His eyes were crazed and his fingers were tightly clenched around a small, sharp knife. Delilah snapped her head around and said, "Finally! The whole
family is here!" She sneered and my dad just grimaced at her sarcastic remark. Then he lunged at her, knife in hand. His hand went flying towards her throat but she blocked it. He tried again but she kicked it out of his hands. It was just
hand to hand combat now. They fought for a few moments while we watched in shock. My dad finally got her in a hold and yelled at us, "Go!" We ran towards the door but I looked back longingly at my father. "I'll be right behind you, just
move!" I didn't disobey him. Zach pulled me along out the doorway but soon enough we heard Delilah yell, "Set the explosive, and don't let them get away!" She had obviously triggered something because alarms blared creating pure
chaos.
Also small beeps sounded about every second, as if counting down to something, like a bomb. Then it hit me, the building was going to explode. "Zach, it's a bomb!" I yelled through the chaos. "We have to get out of here," he replied
yanking me towards another hallway. Then Circle agents surrounded us. I fought two men at a time and threw kick after kick while Zach fought three. Then a large "BOOM" went off and a portion of the ceiling blew up and pieces fell
everywhere, some squishing my enemies. It was actually a network of smaller bombs. We started to run away but one of the smaller chunks of ceiling flew down and knocked me over. It landed on my leg and I cried out in pain. "Cammie,
stay calm, I'm gonna get you out of this," Zach said as I fought to keep consciousness. Zach pressed all his weight against the chunk and rolled it off of me. We looked down at me leg, purple, red, and gnarled. "My dad!" I yelled out of
realization and started to crawl in a direction I thought we had come from. I had to make sure he was ok. "Cam stop, you have to stay still. We need to leave now!" Zach yelled over the sirens and other bombs going off. I glared at him
and yelled, "But my dad, I need to find him, to get him home safe. I have to! You go without me, leave me here!" Zach kneeled down and looked at me apologetically, "Gallagher girl, I know it's your dad, but I promised him that I'd get you
out alive, and if we stay here any longer, that won't be possible! Please," he pleaded. I knew that my dad wanted me to live, but I couldn't give up so easily. I just shook my head with tears in my eyes and said, "But it's my dad." "I know,
Cam, I know. But you found out that he wasn't dead. And if you don't leave now, no one will ever know what happened to him, or you," Zach said. I knew that my dad needed me to get out of here, to tell his tale, and pass on what really
happened to him. So I reached up and Zach took my hand and I limp-ran down a hallway. We turned a corner to realize that agents were running after us. We pressed harder, but my leg was making me so slow. Zach picked me up and
ran faster, turning into different hallways and running down stairs. Finally we lost them and Zach took out his cell phone and yelled, "We need a helicopter fast! Meaning, within minutes. We are in Lancaster, Maryland. For the exact
address, trace the number!" He put me down and we ran so fast, it was hard to breathe. As we were running down the last flight of stairs the beeping became extremely fast, about to trigger the biggest bomb. We leaped down the
stairs and opened the door. And with one last beep, the building exploded, throwing Zach and I violently out the door, and into the dust.
Wow, intense right? No? Yes? Maybe? Sorta? This is why I need reviews! The next chapter will be the last, for sure. So REVIEW…please. Thanks!
