CPOV

I pulled back from the hug and looked at my dad, my eyes ran over his face as I took in every little detail I may have missed before. I took in his height, his size, the colour of his eyes, and I couldn't help but wonder, why he had been declared missing in action.

I was walking through the corridors on the way to my room when I decided I may as well use a newly discovered passageway. Climbing through the darkness I couldn't help but feel that everything was back to normal. Until I heard the voices. I realised I was just behind my moms office as I listened in.

"I tried my best but I cant guarantee their gone." Dad said,

"So what about Cammie? What about you?" Joe asked him, I heard him sigh signalling the situation was stressing him out.

"I don't know. I'll just be on the look out all the time, as for Cammie. I want her to have a normal childhood; or as normal as it gets… I don't want her to know about it, I don't want her living in fear." He said and I couldn't help wonder what he's going on about.

"We'll train her to be the best then if they ever strike, she can defend herself." Abby said,

"Hopefully that wont happen. Hopefully she'll never have to know." The office went deathly silent as I continued my trek through the passageway when I came to a dead end. Feeling the wall I found a candle holder attached to the wall that was a bit looser than the rest. I pulled it as a small gap appeared behind the fire and I crawled through, thankful the fire wasn't on. I saw a group of girls huddled in the corner talking, they hadn't noticed me. I crept to the door and tried to open it but it was locked. I was about to pick the lock when I heard it.

"I think that brat Cameron is spoilt!" It was the girl from the barn again. "She gets away with everything and now she even has her father back!" I kept quiet as I snuck closer.

"I think your being to harsh. She's ten years old and got told her father might never come back. Of course she's gonna be given some slack and now her dads back, maybe she'll be happier." The other girl said twirling a lock of hair around her fingers.

"Na. Just cause her family run the school the kid gets away with everything. Did you see how many priceless artifacts she broke that day on her rampage?" She looked at the girls around her, "seven!" She said completely outraged. "The brat gets away with everything, and her dads probably a rubbish spy as well. Only the bad spies get caught." She said

"Not always" The other girl said,

"No, her dads a rubbish spy, and she'll probably be just as bad, if not worse!" The girl said, "He got lucky and got out." She muttered.

"Excuse me?" I said in a loud bratty voice. They all spun, shocked to hear my voice. "For your information, my dad went on that mission to keep us all safe, to keep me safe, keep him safe, keep this sisterhood safe from an ancient terrorist organisation that would kill any one for the information we know." She sat there, her mouth hanging open, "And yeah, I broke a lot of priceless stuff, but I got new ones! One of the best things about being the best hacker my age, I managed to order new ones from a museum in London for free."

"I…" She started,

"As for the rubbish spy bit. The bad guys just have to get lucky once, and we're in trouble. They only have to get lucky… once." I said.

"I don't care if your precious father got caught trying to save us, we can take care of ourselves!" She said standing, towering over me, "We'd have all been better off if he had just stayed there and rotted in the cell!" She said sneering at me.

"YOU BITCH!" I screamed, lunging at her catching her off guard. In twelve seconds flat I had her pinned to the floor with a broken leg and collar bone. I noticed something catch the light as I pulled out a necklace with a ring on a silver chain. "the coc…" I muttered as it all stuck into place, how she knew he had been in a cell when we didn't even know if he'd been in a cell… "Your part of them…" I said as she smiled, I stuck a napotine patch on her head as I looked at the other girls sitting there who looked as shocked as I felt, then I screamed. A loud, earpiercing scream that brought my parents and half the staff to that room.

"Cammie! Open the door!" Mom said, "Cammie!" She screamed

"Stand back!" I heard dad say as the door was kicked in. "Whats wrong?" He asked kneeling beside me,

"She's with them." I said, handing him the necklace. "She's part of them." I felt something sharp hit my back as my eyelids grew heavy.

"Cammie? Stay awake Cammie!" Dad said holding me, trying to keep me awake as the blackness engulfed me.
