Chapter 14: Cammie POV
"Zach will you please come out of your office." I pleaded.
Zach hadn't come out of his office the whole time we had been back. He had locked the door and I was begging him to let me in (I could've easily picked the lock or kicked down the door but boyfriends don't appreciate having their door ripped of the hinges). I felt the doorhandle turn from the other side of the door as Zach pulled the door inwards and let me in. His desk was covered in papers, multi-coloured folders and stationery.
"What are you looking for?" I glanced over the papers and seen that some sections had been highlighted.
'Last seen by Agent Cassandra Goode (now leader of the terrorist group the Circle of Cavan) in 2001. Agent reported that Alexander seemed angry and she asked him to leave. Agent Alexander Goode was announced MIA (presumed KIA) three weeks after…'
'Name: Alexander Goode
Status: MIA (presumed KIA)
Relationships: Wife – Cassandra Goode (maiden name Rowts)
Family: Son – Zachary Goode, other family unknown
Education: Nebraska High School'
There were large sections highlighted to single words like 'Greece', 'March 2000'.
"Zach we have gone over this before." I sighed. "We didn't find anything to where Alex might be then, so why will we find it now?"
"Why wouldn't we?"
I didn't answer, simply because I didn't know what to say. I've can speak 14 different languages fluently, lie with ease and recall information in a heartbeat but I don't what to say to Zach without sounding like I've given up on the search.
"Don't give up on me Cammie. We are in this together." He said, fixing his gaze on me.
I nodded and took Zach's chair. I started shuffling through the papers, reading small sections and scribbling notes in black pen on spare paper.
"What's the most recent date on these?" I asked, not lifting up my head.
"2003, in Athens. He was sent on the investigation of a missing agent. The agents normal partner was on desk duty."
"Let me guess, Operative Matthew Morgan."
"I knew you would recognise the story."
I paused and spun the chair around so that I could face Zach. "So when are we going to Greece?"
Liz and Jonas arrived back from looking at wedding locations in high spirits. Liz had a wide smile spread across her face and Jonas looked equally as happy.
"I'm going to take a stab at why you're so happy and guess that you have booked a wedding location."
"Yes." Squeaked Liz. "And we even did the invitations. Here's yours and Zach's Cammie." Liz handed me a violet envelope with swirly writing on it reading 'Cameron Morgan-Gallagher and Zachary Goode'
I slipped my finger under the fold and opened the envelope. Inside was a piece of card, also tinged violet, that smelled like lavender and had writing on it, matching that on the envelope. The card read.
To Cameron Morgan-Gallagher and Zachary Goode
You have been invited to attend the wedding of
Jonas Anderson
and
Elizabeth Sutton
On the 17th of April
at the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, Roseville, Virginia.
"So you're getting married at Gallagher, huh?" Macey observed. She was sporting her own invitation and flicking the edge of the card with a painted fingernail. "I approve."
Liz blushed and turned to me. "Cammie, I couldn't think of anywhere else to have the wedding than a place that meant something to both of us. Your mum was so happy to hear that things are going well for Jonas and I."
Bex and Grant joined us and were reading their own invitation. "So dress shopping on Saturday?" Bex asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Ok so what about this one?" Liz stepped up onto the stool as the shop assistant spread her dress out behind her. The dress fell to her feet and was very simple. It had spaghetti straps and beading on the straps and neckline.
I thought the dress looked beautiful but Macey had some criticisms.
"It gives you no shape at all Liz. Try something that hugs your waist." Liz stepped down from the stool and went to try on another dress.
"Macey what are you going to do when you get married?" Bex asked. "The bridal shops are going to hate you."
"I agree with Bex." I stated. "What about a dress? How would you decide?"
Macey was admiring her perfectly filed nails. "I would design my own dress, I couldn't wear the same dress as anyone else. And the guy would have to blow me away. To even get a chance at marrying me." She pointed at herself.
Liz came out of the changing room. Bringing with her a strapless, full skirted princess dress. Liz had a huge smile on her face, her eyes were sparkling and she was blushing. She stood on the stool and ran her hands over the beading on her waist.
"So what…" Liz didn't even get a chance to finish her question before we said.
"You."
"Look."
"Beautiful." I finished.
Liz cheeks went a few shades darker and I saw her wipe a tear from her eye. "This is it. This is the dress."
The shop assistant fixed a veil in Liz's blonde bob and let her turn around to look in the mirror. Bex came up with a camera and began snapping pictures of Liz in her dress. "Make sure Jonas doesn't see any of those. It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her dress before the wedding."
"Oh, that's just superstition." Macey exclaimed.
"You and Jonas are going to be great together!" I assured Liz.
My phone buzzed in my bag, I reached beneath my chair and pulled my phone out of my bag. The caller ID read 'Zach'.
I whispered to Bex, "It's Zach, I should take it."
"Go on, Macey and I can keep Liz occupied." Bex shooed me out of the shop.
"Zach?" I mumbled into the phone.
"Cammie."
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing. It's just –" Zach paused. "- I found something. How fast can you pack a suitcase and get to the airport?"
Review?
Please?
