Chapter 3
I walked over to the coffee table and picked up a small wooden box with my name on it. I tried to lift the lid but it would not budge.
I gave the box to Bex to see if she could open it. She struggled for 5 minutes before making one of the sides fall off and reveling a key hole.
We all knew what to do. We split up and searched the office. After 10 minutes of searching Jonas called out for us to come over to him.
Under my mum's desk he found a thumb print scanner. Everyone was looking at me, so I placed my thumb on the scanner and held my breath.
The scanner read my thumb print and opened up a small compartment in one of my mum's desk drawers and reviled a key.
Macey grabbed the key and ran to the box. The key fitted perfectly and the box opened reviling a note and 8 movie tickets.
I grabbed the note and read it out.
Dear Cammie and friends,
First of all Zach I knew Nick, Jonas and Grant were here. I am the headmistress of this school and a spy and you should have talked to me about it first. As you know the code black was because someone had tried to get in or out of the school. I don't want you to worry but we know it was the circle. Take the tickets and go to the movies in town. Sit in the exact seats and when the movie has started go behind the seats and get Macey to scan her thumb print.
I have to go now things are getting out of hand.
Goodbye and good luck
Rachael Morgan
"Well I guess we know what to do now" Said Zach. So we walked down the stairs in silence.
"I don't think it's safe for us all to go" I said so Zach took my hand and said
"You all go back to the passage way and Cammie and I will go and see if we can get out through the front door."
Everyone agreed and headed back to the passageway except Zach and me who headed towards the front door. It was a short walk back neither of us said a word.
When we got to the front door there was a steel shutter over it. It was the same with the windows. There was no way in but most importantly there was no way out.
"At least we know the security system works" said Zach with a smirk.
I didn't smile back, I wasn't in the mood I was really worried and just wanted to get back to the others so I turned around started to walk away. I had walked a few steps when Zach grabbed my arm.
"Hey what's wrong Gallagher girl?" he asked with a worried look on his face.
That was enough for me. I totally broke down and started sobbing on the spot. Zach sat down with his back against the wall and I sobbed into his chest. After I calmed down a bit Zach asked again,
"What's wrong Gallagher girl?"
"Oh I'm sorry Zach" I said "It's just that I'm worried about everyone and my mum and Mr. Solomon, I mean do you think something happened to them?"
"I don't know" Said Zach "Let's just go back and join the others." I nodded and Zach helped me to my feet.
When we got back to the passage way we saw Liz and Jonas doing math problems with pocket calculator. Macey and Nick were sitting and talking and Bex and Grant were making out against the wall.
When the door opened everyone looked up except for Bex and Grant who kept on making out.
"Oi guys" shouted Zach and Bex and Grant pulled apart panting a bit.
"All the exits are locked and there are no ways out." I said.
The others looked pretty worried but it was Macey who noticed my red blotchy face and rushed up to give me a hug and ask what's wrong.
As the others started to wonder what we could do to get out I cried into Macey's shoulder and told her what was wrong.
"This is ridiculous" Nick finally said after half an hour of trying to work out how to get out of the school. He stood up and leant up against the concrete wall.
The wall then came down on a pulley system and opened up and was a direct passage way to outside the castle.
"Oh I guess this passage does go somewhere"
"Well that solves one problem" Said Zach with a smirk.
