These are the top three people who reviewers think got shot.

Cammie: 7

I'm not going to say who gets shot now...you're just going to have to read and find out!


Chapter 13 – Race Against Gunshots - Cammie POV

Last year when Bex, Liz, Macey and I broke in to Sublevel 2 to get my Dad's journal it took weeks of researching and preparing and we almost got caught. Try breaking out of Sublevel 4 by yourself with cameras on you 24/7.

That's hard.

I had sat in that bed for 3 hours 27 minutes and 14 seconds before I finally thought of a way to get out.

The mattress I was sitting on had springs in it. I pulled them out and using the curved part of a metal spring, unscrewed the metal bed frame. I threw one of the bed poles at the walls until I heard a dull thud, indicating that the wall wasn't made of plaster and bricks (or four feet of concrete) but glass. I kept throwing the pole at the window as hard as I could until the glass shattered into thousands of tiny shards. I carefully jumped through the window and straight to the elevator at the other end of the room. In the middle of the room there was only a steel bench, nothing more. Using the springs from the mattress I rigged the elevator (something I have been doing since I was 11) and ascended to the ground level.

Before I reached ground level though the elevator stopped and alarms were pulsing "CODE BLACK CODE BLACK."

They found out.

I managed to open a hatch on the roof of the elevator car and I slipped out into the shaft. Luckily I wasn't that far from the doors. I began to climb up the shaft (with no safety equipment. Liz would have had a fit) and pried open the doors just wide enough for me to slip through.

Since when have I been this skinny?

The halls of my home were empty but I could hear my classmates moving around and I knew I would only have a matter of seconds before someone saw me. I began thinking of a way to get out. The passageways were blocked and I needed to escape now. The only way out was through the front door. I dashed out the door and followed the path that I had taken to sneak out to Roseville in junior year.

I came into Roseville via the back of the oval. It was after school so not very many people were around but a father and young son throwing a football and the high school cheerleading squad. I ran across the oval and into the main street, the petrol station and supermarket were still open. I needed to get out of Roseville quickly. Public buses were roaming the streets but I didn't have any money to get on one so I had to go on foot. I kept my head low and set off down the street. I had almost reached the end of the street when someone bumped into me. I looked up to see who it was. It was the one person I did not want to run into.

It was Josh.

"Cammie!" He exclaimed. "I'm sorry I was just…" Josh paused, took a breath and asked, "How are you? How's school? Is Deedee…"

"Hey Josh. It's fine it's fine I'm just in a bit of a hurry. I haven't really been at school lately. Deedee isn't in town but I'm sure she would love to talk to you." I had the sudden urge to burst into tears and hug Josh and for him to tell me that everything would be ok. But unfortunately the highly trained spy took over the teenage girl in me when I saw a reflection in the post office window of four figures in uniforms at the end of the road.

"I'm sorry Josh, I have to go." I pushed past Josh and sprinted around the corner. If I turned and looked back I would have seen Josh stare after me and four teenage spies run after me.

I sprinted down the next street. Black cars lined on side of the street, a group of 'civilians' got out of the car. Something told me that they weren't civilians or CIA agents. To prove my thoughts a few of them pulled out guns and started firing in my direction. I ducked and began to crawl out of the way of the bullets. I had my back against a rubbish bin and my hands over my ears trying to block out the sound of gunfire and breaking glass. I crouched behind the bin, ready to run behind another bin. I was about to run, my hands braced on the pavement when I heard Zach yell, "Cammie!"

Zach ran down the street, his feet crunching against the glass-lined pavers.

I heard someone shout, "Hold your fire!"

The chorus of gunshots seized.

Zach grabbed my forearm and pulled me after him.

Zach pulled me through the streets of Roseville, trying to avoid the black vans circling Roseville. Zach dragged me towards the supermarket car park. The only car parked there was an old van. The door slid open and Liz and Jonas jumped out. Liz squealed and gave me a hug. Zach still had a very firm grip on my forearm. Jonas nodded at Zach. Zach pulled me towards the van but I dragged my feet across and pulled in the opposite direction.

Zach stopped trying to force me into the van, grabbed my wrists (still firmly) and asked, "Why don't you come back to Gallagher? We can protect you."

"I'm not going back to Gallagher to be put under 24/7 supervision again. I won't go back there!" By then I was shouting and Bex, Grant and Macey had found us. "Go back where?" Macey asked.

"Sublevel 4" I said. I pulled my wrists out of Zach's grasp ignoring the red marks his hands had left, turned my back to everyone and closed my eyes.

I opened my eyes, jerked my head up and spun back around when I heard the sound of gunshots bouncing against tarmac.

"Run!" Yelled Jonas.

Zach leapt backwards and grabbed my hand, and we ran towards the van. I seen Liz fall into the van closely followed by Macey, Bex and Grant. Jonas had scrambled through the front door. Zach pushed me through the door in front of him.

Once everyone was piled into the van Grant slammed the door shut and yelled, "Drive Jonas! Drive!"

Jonas stamped down on the accelerator and we began to speed away. Gunshots still rattled around us.

"Good thing you used bulletproof glass for the windows Liz." When Liz didn't reply I turned and looked at her. Liz was sitting in the corner of the van with her back up against a seat and both hands over her stomach. She had gone very pale and tears were rolling down her face.

"Lizzie, what's wrong? Are you ok?" I took one of Liz's hands in my own and immediately realised what was wrong. Liz's hands were covered in blood and more was seeping through her blouse.

"She's been shot."

"What?" Exclaimed Jonas. The van violently swerved before Jonas put his hands back on the steering wheel. Bex and Macey came to help me with Liz.

"Lizzie look at me" Said Bex, Liz looked like she was about to fall asleep. "I need you to keep your eyes open."

Bex took Liz's hands in her own while Macey snatched a rug from under a seat and was trying to soak up most of the blood and apply pressure to Liz's bleeding stomach.

"You're going to be alright Liz." Macey choked. "We're going to get you help."

"Jonas," I barked, "we need to get to Gallagher NOW!"


Now if Cammie got shot, that would've been to obvious. Abby got shot in the books so I'm not about to go shoot her and Macey, well I can see why people would think that it was Macey who got shot but no.

Sneak Peak!
