Candy's Tale

Cammie's POV

"This sucks." I heard Macey grumble for the twentieth time since we started walking, 5 hours ago. You might think that a huge resort with beach front property is easy to find. Let me tell you, it isn't. First you have to find the ocean. Then you have to find the right road to the hotel, if you don't have a key to the gate. Then you have to find the right block, harder then it sounds. Then you find the hotel. Does that sound complicated enough? Add the fact that we have to keep a low profile and you have the most complicated game of hide and seek, ever.

"We've finally found the right hotel!" Macey and I both yelled at the same time.

"Wow Gallagher Girl I think everyone in a 5 mile radius now knows that we are back at the hotel. Could you two yell any louder?" said Zach. Lenard just smiled.

"Yes!" Macey and I responded in unison.

Josh was standing on the walkway in front of our rooms signaling for us to hurry up.

"Why did we bring him?" mumbled Zach, clearly agitated.

"Because the only way Matt would come with us was if Josh came, too." Lenard replied with a small smile.

"Do we absolutely need Matt?" asked Zach hopefully.

"Yeah. He is a munitions expert as well as a top spy. Any more stupid questions." Lenard said with a sigh.

"Couldn't Kari, Kent, and Joe handle this whole mess?" quizzed Macey.

"It was either Matt or John." said Lenard. All of us shut up after that. We all decided that Josh was better then John Princely.

When we reached Kari's room the sight that we saw was so funny that under normal circumstances I would have laughed.

Tyler was standing in the kitchen looking depressed. Kari was passed out on the floor and Kent was attempting to wake her up. Matt, Janice, DeeDee, Josh, Bex, Grant, Joe, and some person I didn't know were leaning against the one wall. Liz and Jonas were on the couch typing info into their computers. Tyler's sister Laura was tied to a chair, shooting dirty looks at her brother and the woman I didn't know. Lenard walked over and knelt beside Kari while Macey went to hug Tyler.

"Hey Candy. How's it going?" said Zach to the girl I didn't know.

"Well bro, I'm still alive, so good I guess." answered Candy. Zach turned to me and answered my unasked questions.

"This is my big sister, Candy Goode. She inherited the beauty to trick her Covert Ops teacher into letting her continue on this path. I inherited the brains." said Zach with a smirk. Candy hit him on the back of the head, not hard enough to hurt more then his pride, I hope.

"When I graduated my GPA was 4.0. What's your's little bro?" answered Candy, smiling. Candy was not what expected any family member of Zach's to be like. Her smile was similar to Zach's smirk, yet different. She didn't seem to be as secretive as Zach, either.

Zach mumbled something that I didn't understand and Candy said, "What was that? Can you speak so you can be understood?"

"No." answered Zach.

"Yes." replied Candy.

"No."

"Yes"

"No."

"Yes"

"No."

"Yes"

"No."

"Yes"

"No."

"Yes"

"Will you two please stop fighting and explain to me why I have a tracking device in me?" said Kari, finally standing up.

"Sure. It's the same one the government put on you after you became their science project. The tracking equipment was stolen and now Lisa has it." said Candy, the smile was gone.

The only sound in the room after that was a quietly murmured "Oh shit." from Kari.

A/N~ Sorry about the lack of updates but I've been having a crazy summer. I had a ton of fun in Spain, the only bad part was being a few hours off now that I'm home. Jet Lag sucks. Then I got stolen by my scout troop and taken to a camp with no internet. I know where I'm going in this story and I think I know how I'm getting there. If anyone out there is still reading this story please review.
