Chapter 50: Mean [Taylor Swift]
I cautiously turned my face upward, toward the voice I recognized. Cassandra Goode. Zach's mom. I turned back around and watched the fight again, knowing that if I jumped and joined them, I would surely die due to my lack of adequate training and then, in the words of Zach Goode, "we would all be screwed." Cassandra scoffed behind me, and grabbed my shirt, pulling me against my will to my feet. Below us, Joe and my dad seemed to be fending for themselves quite nicely. Well, once Joe managed to get a gun off one of the goons, things went much faster. From the mass of mangled bodies, Joe was yelling up to us. I kicked and fought while he yelled.
"Cassandra," he yelled, "Let her go!" My dad turned his attention to us, and frowned when he saw Cassandra man handling me. He yelled up to me this time.
"Cammie the key! The key Cammie!" I frowned, confused. Cassandra chose that moment to drop me, hard. I landed on the ground, and rolled toward the railing. Cassandra, noticing my movement, jumped on me, pinning me to the ground. I noticed, at that moment, that Cassandra had the same stunning green eyes as her son. She pulled a dagger on me, but I kicked her off me before it could reach my throat. I stood quickly and jumped the railing, praying to land unharmed. I did of course. I immediately bolted toward a door that I had seen my father stand in front of earlier. I ran there, and searched for a way into the room. I noticed it required a very tiny key. I stopped, momentarily stumped. I twirled my necklace around my finger, thinking. Wait my necklace! I ripped it off my neck, breaking the chain. I placed it in the tiny keyhole, and turned it. The door flew open, revealing a large room, with one lever in it. I walked in, only to be pulled back by a hand. Cassandra!
"Oh no you don't, girly," she hissed, pulling me against her, "You pull that lever, you destroy us, and I will not let you do that." I furrowed my brows.
"How will it destroy you?" I asked. She rolled her eyes.
"Every COC member has a chip in their brain, allowing us to know where they are. But those chips also can self destruct, and disintegrate the brain of the person. And that lever will self destruct the chips in every COC member on earth…dead and alive. Also, that lever releases the spark to ignite the bombs located below our main base, this one. It would blow up our entire existence. But you will never get to be the hero, because you won't live to see the end of this." She held the dagger from earlier to my throat. I gulped. I needed to stall.
"Are my dad and Joe chipped?" I asked. She shook her head.
"We never got the chance," she said, "and we were about to chip you. But, this way works too." She pressed the dagger closer to my throat, cutting it slightly. I gasped for breath. "Yes that's right. Beg, plead. Hope that I don't kill you. Well guess what, you're done." She pulled the dagger off my throat, and thrust it toward my side. I closed my eyes, and expected the worst. But it never came. I looked back to find Cassandra lying on the floor, dagger in hand. She seemed stunned, and was staring at whatever had knocked her down. I followed her gaze.
"Hey Gallagher Girl."
:D (That's all I'm going to say)

"I don't think so, mommy dearest," he said sarcastically. She growled and spoke herself.
