Zach POV

'Okay, you need to tell me everything about that hunk' Suzie's friend whispered to her as they walked away. I chuckled. She'll turn around at some point. I watched as they helped their friend up, putting one of her arms across each of their shoulders. Any minute now. They walked towards the hotel doors when Suzie looked back at me. I knew it. I smirked.

'Have you been standing here by yourself the whole time?' Grant asked coming up to me, his shirt was messy and he had lipstick smeared all over him. I glared at him.

'No actually, I was talking to a girl'

'Was she cute?'

'Yeah, I guess' I took another sip of my beer 'Looks like you had a good evening'

'I earned it'

'I'm sure you did' I patted his arm.

'Fancy another round? I'll pay'

'Sure' I shrugged 'Tonight I'm just a normal college kid'

Cam POV

We made it back up to our hotel room to find Liz sitting at the table working away.

'There you are! I was just about to call you!' She looked at Bex 'What happened to her?'

'Vodka' Macey and I said.

'I'm not that bad' Bex giggled

'Oopsie Daisy' Liz muttered.

'What?' Macey asked

'Bex may or may not have added a drop of the formula I created'

'The one I used on Neil?' I raised my eyebrow. Liz went a light shade of red.

'Sorry, Cam'

'It's fine Liz. What were you going to tell us?'

'Oh right.' Liz picked up her tablet 'Someone tried to access the files'

The atmosphere in the room shifted. I could feel my heart racing. 'When did that happen?'

'About 10 minutes ago. I'm trying to find the IP address, but nothing so far'

I handed the tablet back to her, my knees suddenly feeling weak. I sank onto the edge of the bed.

'Cam…' Macey began, still holding Bex up 'You don't think…'

'No' I shook my head 'Preston wouldn't have told them'

'If they didn't find out from Preston, then…'

'They found out from someone else' I rubbed my head feeling a headache coming on

'Who?' Macey laid Bex down on the bed.

'Has anyone spoken to Tina or the others?' I asked

'They're chasing the lead in Italy' Liz said 'They checked in yesterday. They're safe'

'Give them a heads up still. It's only a matter of time before they become a target. We need to move'

'Cam, will all due respect, we've been on the move for months. Maybe it's time that we stop and think' Macey said

'Think about what? My family is missing and someone is hunting anyone who has crossed paths with me!'

'Cammie, all of our files are redacted. None of us exists. We are safe.' Liz reassured me.

'Then why is someone chasing us?' I stood up and paced the room 'What did we even do?'

'It's not what we did, it's what you did' Macey reminded me 'Whoever is behind this ultimately wants you'

'But I didn't do anything!' It felt like a broken record. The girls and I have had this exact same argument over and over again. None of us could work out what I had done to cause someone to hunt me down. Maybe we got too close to something. Maybe my family knew too much. But whatever it was, it's something that has cost the life of my friends.

'You're right' I sighed 'There's nothing we can do' I stopped 'You know what, I really want to go home'

'Me too'

'Me three'

'Me four!' Bex giggled. We all laughed.

'I'm going to grab some ice for her' I grabbed the bucket from the side

'Do I need to give you the talk?' Macey smirked.

'The talk?' I raised an eyebrow.

'Cammie met a guy' She informed Liz.

'Was he cute?' Liz asked

'Try drop-dead gorgeous' Macey fake swooned.

'What was his name?' Liz asked. I paused.

'Come to think of it, I don't know' I said

'Does he know your name?' I could see where Liz was going with this, alarm bell central.

'No, Macey came over and called me Suzie and Bex is Vicky'

'Good. We need normal cover names. I'll be Sarah and Macey will be-'

'Tiffany. Tiffany St. James' Macey declared. I glared at her.

'I hate you'

'What?' Macey held her hands up innocently 'I have to say out of all the alias' we have ever used, Tiffany St. James is my favourite'

'It's my alias!' I moaned 'Tonight is the first opportunity in ages to use an alias and you decided to call me Suzie! Suzie! After a cat'

'But a cute cat' She teased

'A cat that doesn't exist!'

'Just like us! It's perfect. You know it' She smiled at me.

'Guys...I don't feel so good…' Bex leapt off of the bed and dashed to the bathroom. All three of us groaned.

'I'll hold her hair' Macey said

'I'll get my sober tablets' Liz said

'And I'll get the ice' I waved the bucket.

The party on the beach had begun to migrate back to people's hotel rooms. The corridors were littered with horny teens. I slipped past all of them completely undetected until I got to the ice machine.

I put my 25 cents into the machine and waited for the bucket to be filled. The ice rattled to the bottom.

'How's your friend?' I turned to see the guy who rescued me. Was it just me or did he have a permanent smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth?

'She's currently redecorating the bathroom'

'Ah' He cringed 'So the ice is for…?'

'My tried and tested hangover cure' I held the bucket up smiling. The guy laughed.

'I've had plenty of hangovers and no cure I've tried has ever involved ice cubes. Can you explain?'

'Ice bath. Works every time' I said. The guy shivered

'No one can pay me enough to use that as a cure'

'Suit yourself, it works' We stood there, just smiling at each other 'I should be getting back. It was nice talking to you...again'

'You too...again'

I began to walk away and then stopped, knowing that he was still there. I spun around.

'I never got your name' I said. The guy's eyes widened momentarily.

'Tom' He said.

'Well Tom, I-'

'Hey, Zach, did you get the ice?' A guy, who I assume was his buddy, was coming down the corridor. He came up to Zach and patted him on the shoulder. He then turned to me…

'Hello…' He winked 'How you doin'?'

I swear my eyes rolled so hard. Zach clenched his jaw.

'Wow. Smooth. You had me fooled. Bye, Zach' I turned away, my hair flipping in a way that Macey would be proud of. He didn't try to come after me but when I was out of normal person hearing range, I heard a punch.

'Dude, what was that for?'

I made my way back to the room. Typical, the one guy who is decent to help a woman in distress ended up being a lying guy. He probably only wanted to sleep with me. Is that a play guys do now? Act decent and then BAM dickheads.

We gave Bex an ice bath and with Liz's hangover tablets, she sobered up very quickly.

We eventually tucked Bex into bed. Macey was sitting reading. Liz had fallen asleep at her desk, her computer still running a program. I was looking through one of our secure laptops as I do every evening trying to find if there was any new information about my family. I scrolled through all our dead drop sites but nothing.

I sighed, giving up.

'We'll find them' Macey said without looking up from her book

'My family or the people after me?'

'Both' She shrugged 'Let's just hope we all make it out alive'

Author's note: Hello everyone! Thank you so much for all of your support for this story so far! So Cammie and Zach have officially met. They both used a cover name and think the other person is normal...how long will that last? Sending out lots of love, stay safe & see you all soon xxx

GallagherGirlsEmbassyRowFan: They definitely don't know what the other person is capable of yet. So far, Zach thinks Cam is Suzie, a normal girl. And Cam now knows that Zach/Tom is a liar! They will definitely be surprised when they work out the truth! Who do you think will work out the truth first? Stay safe too xxx

Guest: Thank you so much! I've actually written a lot in a short span. I can't wait to share this story xxx

Shark: Thank you so much! xxx

Covertoperative456: Exactly! Ah you've summed up this story beautifully! They do not know that the person they met might just be their ultimate downfall...xxx

Bookwormfae: Thank you so much xxx

Gymnast1150: I know what you mean. I love when the conversation isn't completely spying world & they can just be normal, but there's the subtext of them being spies and flirting and all that lovely Zammie stuff. I'm seeing them as 20ish. Obviously I know drinking age in the US is different to here in the UK but everyone unwinds with a beer, and it's a party! Aw thanks! This story has to be told through both their POVs, as what one person knows isn't what the other person does. Thank you so much! If you had to root for someone, who would it be? o_O? Who do you think will work out the truth first? xxx

RoxieRockAndRoll: Thank you so much! No, they don't know that Cammie is a Gallagher Girl or Zach is a Blackthorne boy just yet. Josh mayyyyyybe involved at some point but not a main character. xxx

aNoYmOUs: Thank you! Zach doesn't know yet...or does he? Thank you again xxx
