Don't turn away
I pray you've heard
The words I've spoken
Dare to believe
For one last time
And then I'll get the

Darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own

Carry me away
I need your strength
To get me through this
Dare to believe
For one last time
And then I'll let the

Darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own

"Guile, someone tried to kill me.  Not the other way around.  Why do I still have to do this?"

"It wasn't just someone, it was Shadowlaw.  That's a big deal.  We want to prevent it from ever happening again."

Cammy let out a deep sigh and crossed her arms tightly over her chest.  She was in a small meeting room with Guile, but technically didn't know where she was.  Cammy figured she was in shock or something because she was rather calm.  Especially calm considering that she had escaped from nearly ten assassins.  But she was still here, thank in most part to Julian.  How did he know what was going on and why was he worried about being found?  Cammy's thoughts were interrupted when the door opened and a woman entered.  She was of Chinese decent.  However, aside from her dark brown hair, which was done up in two traditional Chinese buns, she looked very westernized.  The woman smiled at her.  It was a generic smile, but she used it well.  Guile stood and shook the woman's hand.  They looked as if they had met before.  The woman then caught Cammy's gaze and sat down across from her, where Guile had been seated moments before.

"Hello Cammy.  My name is Chun-Li.  I just need to ask you a few questions so we can determine exactly what happened tonight and keep it from happening again."

Cammy answered quietly.

"Okay."

Chun-Li smiled the same fake smile and began pulling papers out of a manila folder she had been holding.

"Alright.  So why were you at Mr. Masters' home?"

"We were having dinner."

"How did the attack begin?"

"I was in the kitchen with Ken and the doorbell rang.  I went to answer it and a man was there.  He pointed at gun at me but before he could shoot me, Jul—"

Cammy faltered.

"Somebody shot him."

Cammy looked at Chun-Li.  She felt her face go entirely blank of any expression.  She didn't know how she did it but she could tell Chun-Li didn't like the fact that she could do it.

"Who do you think it was that shot this man?"

"I guess one of the other men."

"Why would they shoot a teammate?"

"How should I know?  Maybe they wanted to be the one to take me out."

"Alright.  So then what happened?"

"Ken came in and I told him to get one the floor.  He did and then we moved towards the table and Ken flipped it.  I called Guile and then we moved to the pantry until help arrived."

"Speaking of the phone call.  You said someone else was with you.  Who was it?"

"Did I?  I must have been mistaken.  I was pretty freaked out."

"You sounded pretty calm to me."

"I was trying to keep a level head."

"Of course."

Now came the fake smile again, but this time it held a hint of distrust.  Chun-Li questioned her further.

"Did you sustain any injuries?"

"A few bumps and bruises I guess.  I feel okay though."

"Did any of the men attacking you come into the pantry?"

"No."

"There was some blood on the floor in there."

"Well, I had some on me from the first man.  Maybe that was it."

"Not the same type."

"Oh, okay.  It was just a shot in the dark.  I don't know how it got there.  Maybe before Ken and I were there."

"A lot of maybes, Cammy.  Who else was with you?"

What's her problem?  I'm the victim here and she's treating me like a criminal.  Cammy replied sharply.

"I told you.  Nobody.  No one else was with me besides Ken Miss…I never caught your last name.

"Xiang."

"Miss Xiang."

"Detective."

Cammy nodded and made sure to add sarcasm to her voice before saying.

"Detective."

Chun-Li stood up while she spoke.

"I'm here to help you.  But I can't do that if you're not honest."

"If you want to help me, Detective Xiang, you should spend your time looking for the people who did this.  Not interrogating me."

Chun-Li stood and began to leave the room

"I think I have all I need Cammy.  I'm going to figure this out.  But if you're keeping something important from me, and I find out—"

"What."

"I can't guarantee what will happen."

Cammy decided in that moment that she did not like this woman.  It wasn't her imagination or the fact that she really was lying.  It was the fact that Chun-Li did think she was a criminal.  She couldn't possibly understand that she was under someone else's control when she committed the murders.  Chun-Li was a black or white person.  She didn't feel there was a gray area.  And it just happened that that was where Cammy was.  When Chun-Li was gone Guile spoke first.

"Cammy."

"Guile, don't, please.  I can't explain."

"Stop this.  Just now, your face, it…it looked like it did when you were under Shadowlaw's control."

"I just want to forget this all.  Erase it from my mind like they did my other memories!  Why can't I just do that?"

Guile walked to Cammy and put his arm around her.

"I know it's hard."

"No you don't.  People weren't trying to kill you."

"Yes they were."

"What?"

"Charlie was.  He said it.  It was before he and I fought.  That's why he snapped when I showed up.  They were his orders.  And it just further proves that you are not responsible for what happened to you."

"That doesn't change that it happened Guile..."

Cammy started crying softly.

"…Please leave."

"I'm not going to Cammy.  I will help you if it's the last thing I do."

"Why?  Because you promised my dad?"

"Because I love you Cammy."

This only caused Cammy to cry more.  The door cracked and Ken entered. 

"Hey Guile.  Chun-Li told me to come in here and that she wants to speak with you."

"Alright.  Cammy, I'll be right back."

Guile left and Ken took his place at Cammy's side.

"Cammy?"

"Yeah."

"You didn't say anything about Julian did you?"

"No."

"Thank you for trusting me.  Julian would too."

"Will I ever see him again?"

"I don't know.  I didn't think I would and look."

Cammy smiled through the tears as she laid her head in Ken's lap.

"I think I just want to sleep."

"Go ahead."

"Will you stay awake?"

"Of course.  I won't let anything happen to you.  I won't leave you alone."

Guile left Cammy and met with Chun-Li.  Being she was a lead detective for Interpol, Guile had met with Chun-Li a few times before this.  She was a hard worker.  But had always had a problem when it came to Shadowlaw.  She was determined to bring them down.  It wasn't a bad thing, but sometimes it affected her judgment.  Chun-Li stood and shook hands with Guile again.

"Captain.  I didn't get to mention how great it was to see you again.  I'm sorry it has to be on such difficult circumstances."

"Not as sorry as I am Chun-Li."

"Yes, I heard about Charlie Nash.  How was he related to Cammy?"

"He's her father."

Chun-Li froze for a moment.  She looked locked in deep thought.  Guile snapped his fingers in front of her face and spoke.

"Hey!  You awake?"

"Yes.  I'm sorry.  I just didn't realize her was her father."

"That's okay.  Most people wouldn't.  I mean common sense with the last names being different and all.  But I'm babbling now.  Why did you need to see me?"

Chun-Li motioned for Guile to sit and she took the seat across from him.  She spoke, getting right down to business.

"Guile, I won't go into the technicalities with you.  Or the fact that I know Cammy is hiding something.  I just hope it's not something that will come back and haunt her.  The truth is Shadowlaw has her marked.  If the eight they sent this time didn't work, they'll send sixteen next time, so on and so forth."

"So what do we do?"

"I'm thinking the best thing would be a total relocation."

"Like witness protection?"

"Kind of.  We have it set up.  Right now there are about six in the program, all the children of ex-Shadowlaw employees that tried to return to their normal lives.   Some are the last of their family, and some aren't with any family.  We put the ones without family left with others who have a family.  That way we can keep a better eye on both the children.  But they are totally cut off with anything from their pasts.  So far we haven't had any problems, and none of the children have been found or harmed."

"And you think this is serious enough for that."

"I really do.  The ones in the program now aren't linked to Shadowlaw except through their parents.  Cammy is closely linked.  Very close.  And right now, I'm guessing with her memories returning like they have been, they see her as a threat.  A threat that must be destroyed."

"But to hide like that."

"Guile, they did the same with Charlie.  He was remembering and they sent an assassin to finish the job."

Guile took in a deep breath remembering the fate of his best friend.  He couldn't let that happen to Cammy.

"So, how would this work?"

"Since both of Cammy's parents are deceased, we'll put her with another—"

"I'm not leaving her alone.  She stays with me."

"You've got guardianship of her?"

"Yes."

"I'll have to check and make sure that's okay.  I'm sure it is.  They will just set you up with a job.  Proceed just like in witness protection.  But you are hidden better.  No questionable meetings like with W.P.  You would be moved to the U.S.  Cammy will probably have to take a citizenship test and go through that.  But again, once the decision is made, I will get into the specifics."

"And she'd be safe."

"As safe as we can possibly get her."

Guile put his head in his hands.

"Okay.  Give me time to talk it over with my family and Cammy and I'll get back with you."

"That's alright.  But we have to not waste any time.  I can have you home watched tonight to make sure they won't hit again.  But the manpower can only last for so long.  We don't have much time to do this.  I can give you one night.  Tops."

"I'll get back with you ASAP.   Just let me take Cammy home now."

Chun-Li nodded and left the room.  Guile closed his eyes.  Charlie, I'm trying to make the right decision.  I won't let them have her again I swear.  I'll do whatever it takes.
