It was Bex that had screamed when the gun shot went off, but it wasn't because she had been hit, no. I've known Bex long enough to know that she wouldn't have even made a sound if she had. It was Grant.
"GRANT!" She screamed.
We closed the door and the jet took off as quickly as it could, luckily it was bullet proof.
"Cammie, I heard a scream what happened?" Liz's voice came trough the coms
"Grants been shot." I said and looked over to see Zach talking quickly into his ear piece, probably to Jonas. He moved Grant to an open area, his hands covered in blood, so my guess was that he was shot in the back. Which meant its not necessarily fatal, but very dangerous if too deep and unattended too for a while.
"We need to get him medical help!" Bex said.
"There's nowhere for us to go, if we go to a hospital, they'll start asking questions, we can deal with that. We'll be back at the academy soon." Zach said.
Though I wanted to disagree with him, I couldn't, he was right. We just need to get back to school.
I went over next to Zach and looked down at Grant, he now was unconscious from blood loss and laying down , "I doesn't look too deep, but we need to clean some of the blood off him, and I can look at it."
"I don't know Cam..." Bex said, "Do you know what you're doing?" For the moment it looked like she was on the verge of tears, and Bex never cried. Though it was gone as quickly was t came.
I wasn't sure how, but I knew what I was doing, "Yes, trust me..."
Zach ripped open the back of Grants shirt so I could see the wound. Macy, who I had just seen for the first time since we got on the plane gave me a damp piece of cloth. A cleaned away some of the blood to see he was shot in the right shoulder. Definitely, not fatal which was good and made him very lucky. Though it wasn't a clean shot, so the bullet would have to be removed.
"Mace-" but she was already one step ahead of me.
"They're sterilized." She said and handed me her tweezers. I felt like I was playing a game of Operation, only with this wasn't a game and I could seriously make this injury worse. I felt everyone's eyes on me as I removed the bullet.
"Bex get me the first aid kit." I know we packed one, but it was just a matter of where. Also, I wasn't sure if it would have what we needed. Though it should.
10.3 seconds later Bex gave me a small first aid box and I looked through it. I found a bandage wrap, and Zach helped me wrap him up neatly. That way he would be ok until we can get back and give him proper care.
We landed soon after, my mom, Joe, Abbey, Liz, and Jonas were waiting there and as soon as we landed Joe went on the jet and helped Zach get Grant off and to the infirmary.
"All of you come to my office." My mother said talking to Bex, Liz, Jonas, Macy, Preston, and I.
"Mr. Winters I am very sorry for what has happened, I'm assuming you're confused about the situation at hand and I'm assuring you that in due time I will personally fill you in on everything. But first I must talk to Cameron, Elizabeth, Rebecca, Macy, and Jonas. You are welcome to stay and listen, it may answer some of your questions."
We entered her office, where Zach was already there along with Joe and Abbey.
"How's Grant?" I asked
"He's going to be fine." Zach said and I heard Bex give an almost silent sigh in relief, well it would had seemed silent if I weren't a spy.
"Liz can you start telling us what happened?" Joe asked.
"When we first shut the cameras off, everything was fine. We cracked the codes, though the only thing that was suspicious was their firewall a pretty weak. When The code didn't work, it seemed normal that they would change it, but then the coms went dead."
"We checked everything again." Jonas said taking over, "All the systems were working right, but everything crashed. The connection was cut. Once we got back online the cameras were and they knew Cammie and Zach were there. We were able to shut the cameras down again for about five minutes."
"Bex, Grant, and I got up to the roof no problem. We ran into no guards, or cameras, or anything." Macy said
"They were all inside. Once Cammie and I got up to the room Preston was in and got him out that's when we ran into trouble. All of the guards were in the hall. They were determined to keep us from getting Preston out of there."
"Or they wanted to make sure we did..." I said suddenly.
They all looked at me and my mom stood up from her desk, "Joe, could you take Preston out of here for a moment please."
"I'll take him.." Macy said and it didn't take a spy to see that Preston was surprised.
Once they were gone the attention was brought back to me, "What are you talking about Cam?" Abbey asked me.
"Just think about it, the code changed, but Macy kicked the padlock and the door opened up? The cameras were disconnected, but turned back on. They were ready for us, but then able to be turned off around for about five minutes, buts as we were going to get Preston. Little security at Preston's room. They only started shoot after we got to the jet. If they really wanted to stop us they could have done more then they did. I think they set a trap and we walked right into it and took the bait... The only question is: Does the Preston know he's being used?
