I'm gonna do the review replies for this chapter somewhere else cuz I just want to get this updated :P im lazy
One month later…
Zachary Goode felt himself list to the side as the dark van lurched around another sharp curve in the road. He allowed himself to be momentarily annoyed with the driving skills of whoever was in control of the van before returning his attention to the screen on the wall in front of him.
"You're mission is to find the ten undercover operatives we have placed throughout the area." Mr. Solomon's face was entirely serious as he instructed them.
"You will have two hours to find all ten, but there's a catch. Remember how I said you'll be able to hear their comms feed? Well, they'll be able to hear yours, too." Zach sighed. Way to make a mission that much more difficult.
"Also, boys, the operatives you have to find? They know you." A portion of the ten boys in the van groaned. "Which brings me to another catch; they'll be in disguise." The van slowed to a stop.
"And you all won't. Good luck, boys." The live video turned off and the back doors of the van opened, revealing a park filled with hundreds of people surrounding a stage. Banners scattered throughout the are advertised a concert, also that there were food, games, and "fun for the whole family".
No one had moved. "Come on guys, time to get to work." Zach jumped out of the van and turned on the comms unit in his ear.
"Come get us boys." He felt shock race through him as he heard Bex's voice. He glanced at the other guys to see if they'd noticed; they had.
"Well well well." A smile found its way on Grants face. "If it isn't Ms. Baxter."
"Ha! Not just her!" Macey's voice was next on the line.
"So who else is here?" Jeremiah questioned. But none of the girls replied. The only response they got was from the one voice Zach would never have expected to hear.
"Rematch."
Cammie…?
Cammie POV
I watched as the guys spread out over the area, laughing to myself as they tried to find my girls and me. Oh, I knew they'd find everyone eventually; well, almost everyone. There was no doubt in my mind about the one person they wouldn't find…
Me.
Zach POV
It didn't take us long to figure out which girls were there. They rarely communicated; the only times they actually talked was to warn each other of our approach. Cammie never said a word.
I used the first five minutes to scan the crowd, noting whoever looked out of place. My gaze skipped over the singer on stage, but lingered on the areas closest to her. It wouldn't be hard for an operative to blend in backstage, especially one like Cammie.
It took us ten minutes to find the first Gallagher Girl; her name was Emily, I think; she was disguised as an old lady. It took us ten more minutes to find the next girl, and by the hour mark, we had found all but four. Those that we had left to find were Bex, Macey, Anna, and Cammie. Anthony caught Anna at the hour and twenty; only three to go.
I finally spotted Macey, ten minutes before Grant found Bex. Cammie was the last one, and we only had fifteen more minutes. Where are you? I knew Cammie was a good pavement artist, but we had ten of our best guys out there; heck, we had me. And if anyone should be able to find Cameron Morgan, I should.
Ten minutes to go. I found myself close to the stage, for some reason allowing myself to listen to the lyrics of the songs for the first time.
Don't stop make it pop
DJ blow my speakers up
tonight, imma fight till we see the sunlight
tick tock on the clock
but the party don't stop
woah oh oh oh.
Woah oh oh oh.
I rolled my eyes; the song had absolutely no meaning. But the next lyrics recaptured my attention.
You build me up
You break me down
My heart it pounds
Yeah, you got me
With my hands up
You got me now
You got that sound
Yeah, you got me.
No the party don't stop 'till I walk in.
(Chorus)
And cue no meaning. Hey, at least there was one part with it. I thought. I continued scanning the crowd for Cammie, when the girl on stage started to talk.
"Hey everyone!" Her voice was filled with cheerfulness that rang false in my ears. "Okay, so, for this last song, we're going to slow it down a bit. Hope you enjoyed the show, and thanks for coming out!"
"Last song, boys, find her." Solomon said as the music began to play. The song was definitely different then the others…
A minute later
My sky looks grayer
It's the way I miss you,
Every time you go.
I found myself making my way to the very front of the crowd.
Ohhhh
Why can't you just see?
It isn't easy.
What you put my heart through
Every time you go.
I'm not myself without you
Nothing feels the same
(Chorus)
So don't say you're leaving,
And don't say goodbye
It breaks my heart but I never let it show
Every time you go…
I was at the front now, looking up at the girl on stage. She was about average height, 5'3 or 5'4, with long brunette curls and green eyes. Something about her seemed almost…
It's a lonely picture
When all I do is miss ya'
My smile is fading
Everytime you go…
Familiar? Her expression softened as she sang the next verse.
'Cuz you're the one
Who understands me
And you're the one
Who makes me happy
The saddest sad I know
Is every time you go.
I'm not myself without you, not even for one day…
(Chorus)
I cry inside but I never let it show…
Every time you go.
Our eyes met and her words felt like they were cutting through me. She continued to watch me, seeming almost to sing the words to me.
"Time's almost up. Find her Zach." Solomon's voice rang through my head and the singer smirked.
All I wanna know is when
Will I see you again?
Please don't make me wait
Too loooong.
Suddenly, the smirk dropped from her face, and she seemed almost sad. She came to the very edge of the stage and crouched slightly, right in front of me, our eyes still connected. Her voice softened.
Don't say you're leaving
It's hard to breathe but I never
Let it show
Everytime you go…
Suddenly she wasn't there anymore; now she was back to center stage, singing to the whole crowd. But it still felt like the words were meant for me.
Now don't say you're leaving
And don't make me cry
I fall apart but you don't even know
Every time you go…
Something nagged at the edge of my mind, something that was so obvious. I just couldn't see it…
Ohh ohh ohh…
I really miss you…
Every time…
You go…
"Times up boys." And suddenly I knew. Cammie wasn't in the crowd, wasn't lurking backstage. She had the perfect disguise; one that no one would ever guess to be her.
The singer…Cammie, looked me straight in the eye and laughed. Lightly, she flipped her hair over her shoulder and smoothed down her black and red mini skirt. I kept my eyes on her red heels as she walked to the edge of the stage, smiling at the crowd. My eyes traveled up to her white tank top; this girl looked nothing like the Cammie I knew. The Cammie I knew would never dress, or act, that way.
"Thank you, everyone, for coming!" Her voice rang out over the crowd. "It was great singing for you."
I didn't even know Cammie could sing.
Cammie handed the mic to someone as she headed backstage. I heard her laughter in my comms unit as she clicked hers on.

I'm really sorry :/ I meant to update over break but I was at my dads so I couldn't (hmph).
The two songs were Tik Tok by Kiesha and Everytime You Go by KSM btw. I don't own either of these songs, I just love them :D if you've never heard of them, LOOK THEM UP! xD
