YAY! Here's Chapter Twenty Eight! So, it's time to find out... who was the boy! THIS CHAPTER THEY ARE SAVING MACEY! WOO HOO! So I hope you ENJOY!
"Wait a second... I know that voice..." the boy said and quickly turned around staring right into my eyes.
"Oh my god..." I gasped and everyone turned towards me with opened jaws and shocked faces.
"Cammie, is that you?" Josh asked. I froze, he must've recognized my face through my disguise. I didn't respond. I remained still, but calm.
"You changed your appearance?" Josh asked.
"Umm... I felt I should go for a change." I smiled softly.
"You still look beautiful... a little slutty, but beautiful." Josh grinned. I laughed, and glanced over to my side to see all of my friends glaring at me. Zach had this horrified look on his face showing me that he wanted me to pay and get out of there.
"Thanks..." I smiled trying to ignore the "slutty appearance" comment.
"So, where have you been lately?" Josh asked me.
"I've been traveling... for school!" I shot back at him. He nodded and smiled at me, as if trying to show he was single and wanted me back.
"How's Deedee?" I asked, almost forgetting about her.
"Oh, she's good... we're not really that great of friends anymore." Josh answered.
"Oh, I'm sorry..." I sighed and Bex came over to me and gripped my shoulder...hard.
"Cammie, don't you think we should get going now... that man is bleeding... a lot." Bex glared.
"Wait, your accent seems familiar, do I know you?" Josh asked Bex.
"No, I don't think so. I exchanged here a couple of months ago from England. I go to Gallagher with Cammie." Bex lied.
"Oh, I see... and I can also see your other friend over there. She goes to Gallagher too, I'm assuming?" Josh asked, acknowledging Liz who was pretending to fix her wig in a small mirror.
"Oh, actually I just met her at the bar. She's helping us out." I smiled.
"Right." Zach nodded. He began to check out our items in silence and I handed him the credit card. He slipped them in a small plastic bag and the guys ran out of the pharmacy.
"Thanks." I waved to Josh as Bex, Liz, and I walked to the door.
"Wait- Cammie!" Josh called. I froze and turned around on my heels.
"You want to get together sometime?" Josh asked.
"Actually Josh... I have a boyfriend." I responded and sprinted out the door before he could respond. We met the guys at a bench in the park and we gave the stitching kit to Jonas. As he carefully numbed Zach and then began to sew him up, Liz and Bex were freaking out because Josh recognized me.
"Cammie! You could've blown our mission!" Bex complained.
"I didn't think he would recognize my face!" I yelled back.
"Guys! Can we like stop fighting... because I don't want you two to be all angry when we go to save Macey!" Liz hollered. Bex and I both nodded and we sat down in the grass. Exactly 21 minutes and 24.53 seconds later, Jonas tossed all of the stitching supplies in a trash can along with my leather jacket.
"Sorry Cammie, I don't think you would've wanted it back anyway." Jonas shrugged.
"It's fine... you did what you had to do." I smiled and turned to Zach.
"You told him you had a boyfriend?" Zach asked. I nodded and he smirked.
"Good... I mean, I'm glad that he knows not to hit on you or anything like that again." Zach smiled. I skipped up to him and hugged him and whispered in his ear, "I'm sorry."
Zach looked down into my eyes, which reflected the rising sun, indicating that it was probably around eight o' clock. Zach kissed me on the lips and I kissed him back. I could definitely feel a spark between us. After exactly three minutes of kissing, everyone was beginning to complain that we were wasting time. Zach and I slipped away from each other and turned to Nick and Jonas who were both peering onto the screen of one of Liz's gadgets.
"Hey guys... I don't think we need to split up and search for an underground tunnel, we found it!" Nick smiled.
"No way!" Liz cheered and skipped over to them. After looking at the device for a couple of seconds she took a couple of steps back and looked directly down. She plopped herself onto the ground and began to bang the grass.
"It's hollow!" Liz laughed.
"No..." Bex seemed amazed and ran over to Liz. She banged the ground and threw her body back when a thumping sound replied to her bang.
"It's hollow! And someone is down there!" Bex screamed. Grant helped her up and brought her over to the bench.
"We have to go down there now." I told everyone.
"But your mother and Mr. Solomon-" Grant was cut off.
"Are right here." Mr. Solomon spoke. The two were standing behind the bench, looking very impressed that we had already found the tunnel, yet pretty disappointed to see Zach's head in stitches.
"Cammie, what did you do to Zach?" my mother asked turning directly to me.
"What makes you think I did it?" I asked offended.
"Who else would do it?" my mom laughed.
"Fine. They were playing Spin the Bottle and Zach actually kissed Bex so I smashed the bottle on his head. He needed stitches so we found a kit at the pharmacy and that's when we ran into Josh..." I explained.
"Did he recognize you?" Mr. Solomon asked.
"My face..." I answered. Mr. Solomon and my mother nodded and then walked over to the hollow ground.
"You kids ready?" my mother asked.
"Yes!" we all clapped in unison and my mother looked around us before opening up the panels. We all jumped down into the tunnels, that were lit by dim lanterns. Nick, Mr. Solomon, Bex, and my mother each grabbed a lantern as we cautiously began to walk down the tunnel. The more we walked, the brighter the tunnel became. So we ended up leaving the lanterns on the side of the wall. After approximately 37 minutes and 57.04 seconds we arrived in a dark, but large room filled with computers and filing cabinets.
"It looks like the one in England…" Nick spoke.
"That's because it's another Circle base." Bex explained. Jonas and Liz took flashlights out of their bags and we each took one. As we turned them on, we could see that there was not much more in the room besides what we had already seen so we began to walk across the room and through a long hallway. Our flashlights illuminated our path, and Jonas gave us directions on where we needed to turn.
"According to my tracking system, Macey should be… down the hallway to the right in the first room to the left." Jonas smiled. We all quickly walked, still being cautious of our surroundings and when we reached the room we all braced ourselves for what may be inside. Bex reached for the door handle slowly and attempted opening it, but the door was locked.
Bex's P.O.V.
My hand brushed against the shiny metal door handle as I attempted to open it, but it wouldn't budge. Liz went into her backpack and took out a bobby pin. I stuck it into the lock and the door clicked open. We all ran into the room, and to our luck, Macey was sitting in a metal chair, unconscious, in the middle of the room.
"MACEY!" we all screamed in unison and ran over to her. Her face was pale and covered in blood, and both of her legs and arms were bruised. Nick grabbed her and held her in his arms while we untied her from the chair. He then picked her up and cradled her in his arms and we all cheered with joy.
We were about to make our way out of the room, when Cammie stopped us.
"This can't be that easy…" she sighed.
"No it can't!" a voice replied.
Great! I think you all know who stopped them! At least they got to Macey! YAY! So, will they make it out of the base okay? Well you will have to stay tuned to find out! So, Goode... Bad? Luv... Hate? Please review! Luv hearing from my amazing fans :D!
