"Lovely, just lovely!"

Bex came storming into the living room section of the jet, fuming.

"What's wrong," I asked pulling away from Zach's tight grip.

"Grant Newman is testing my patience!"

I heard a loud, booming laugh from the cockpit and Bex turned in that direction, eyes flashing. Macey pursed her lips in a way that made her look too much like her mother.

"Grant, if I were you I'd stay in there," Zach warned but a slight smile was playing on his lips.

"What is she going to do," Grant asked.

Not a smart move at all. Bex screeched and launched herself through the doorway, but Abby walked through in just enough time to grab her and push her back.

"You are not allowed to fight each other."

Bex brushed the non-existent lint off of her skinny jeans and stood up straight.

Grant slowly walked into the room; taking in Bex's tense posture. He reached for her and grabbed her waist. "I'm sorry babe," he leaned down to kiss her. Bex slid one arm around his neck and twisted, sending him down to the ground.

"I accept your apology."

I lost it! I was laughing so hard, I couldn't breathe.

Right when I was about to calm down, I looked at Grant's face, and started choking/laughing all over again. "I'm glad you find it funny Cameron," he snapped but was smiling. "You don't mess with a Baxter," Macey filed her nails (even though they were already perfect), "they'll always get you back."

"Are you guys ready to focus now?"

Abby looked too serious, too much like my mother. Zach slid his arm around my waist and whispered "She looks too much like an actual operative." I smiled as he pressed his lips to my ear. "She is an actual operative you know," I whispered.

Abby asked, "Liz, Jonas, where are they located," giving us the evil eye.

They being Catherine and Tina.

"Not for another two minutes," Liz announced.

"Tina is good, but Catherine is better. She got Tina to tell the pin to her mom's twenty credit cards and they always seem to be wherever Tina's mother is so we can't tell if it's her or Tina. They're bound to slip up though," Jonas said not looking up from his computer.

I laid my head on Zach's shoulder and said "Catherine is too smart to make mistakes."

"Yes but she's also stubborn and pig headed. She'll mess up, just watch," Zach countered.

I sighed.

Zach was so intent on taking his mother down that he didn't realize that she was just like me...besides the whole traitorous-ex-Gallagher-Girl-intent-on-killing-my son's-girlfriend part.

She was smart.

She could blend in.

She rarely made mistakes.

She didn't make mistakes.

Tina could.

Tina will.

Tina does.

"We've got them," Liz announced.

"Where are they," I asked.

"Tina just called from her personal cell phone and forgot to dump it."

"So where are they," Macey demanded.

"They're in California…and by the looks of it," both Jonas and Liz shared a dark look, "they're at the mall we did the CoveOps exercise in."

Zach squeezed my waist and asked "What did I tell you? Los Angeles can be a very dangerous place."

I stood up and stared down at him.

"I guess it makes sense that seven of the most dangerous kids in government history are going there then huh?"

[{Line Break}]

I hadn't realized that my friends and I would be coming back to this mall.

I wasn't planning on it and I really didn't want to.

It was too noisy, too crowded, and too dangerous of a destination to try to find someone in.

It was perfect for me.

Zach wanted to stay by my side the entire time but after a few kisses and a thousand promises that I wouldn't go running off by myself, he reluctantly let me go.

In my ear I had Liz and Jonas giving us possible placed Catherine and Tina could be. In my head I knew exactly where I would hide if I was being hunted down by a couple of teenage spies. I would hide in plain sight.

"Oh where oh where could Catherine be…oh where oh where could she be," I heard Bex sing.

With I smile I added "With a killer's mind and a thirst for my death, oh where oh where could she be."

It was a very sick song.

I heard Zach mumbled something about "Devil spawn" before he asked "Where are you Chameleon?"

"You know exactly where I am."

I turned around and headed in the direction I came from.

I had covered the entire north side of the mall and was now headed towards the south. I slid into JCPenny and walked across the length of the mall; exiting out the back side.

"Peacock where are you," Bex asked.

"Right behind Chameleon."

I fought the urge to turn around and continued walking.

I ended up right in the middle of the food court.

I turned slowly spotting Bex and Macey on the opposite side, staying in view but away from each other. Zach walked past me, but not before squeezing my hand.

No one noticed.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and turned in a complete circle.

They were here somewhere…I could tell.

"What do you see Wise Guy," I asked Zach.

"I know they're here….I just know it."

At least I wasn't the only one.

"Hey Muscles, look for the younger one," I told Grant. I needed to get Catherine myself. "Don't go alone Chameleon." "I won't," I started walking to the Claire's store right by the food court, "you'll be right behind me."

I could practically hear the smirk in his voice as he said "I'll be enjoying the view too."

"Perv," I muttered and started walking quickly.

"Chameleon!" I pressed my hand to my ear and winced. "You don't have to yell Bookworm," but she interrupted me with "She's leaving Claire's now." I turned.

Catherine and I were face to face.

If this was a western movie the music would be playing and I would pull the gun out of my hand and shoot her quickly; getting over with it. She smirked. The same smirk that I had come to love on Zach's face quickly lost its appeal.

And just like that; she took off running.

I would be a liar if I said I didn't run after her.

"Cam no! You promised!" Zach yelled.

It was a high speed chase minus the cars.

Catherine bumped and slammed into people but didn't break stride. I maneuvered around them, squeezing through the gaps easily. I had to get her and stop her before it was too late.

"Cameron stop," a body went slamming into me and I struggled against it. The arms were too strong but their face was unprotected. I slammed my head back, breaking their nose and the person dropped me. I looked back to see Aunt Abby holding her nose and staring at me in fury. I would pay for that later.

I lost sight of Catherine.

Just when I thought all hope was lost, I saw a flash of dark red hair, and I ran after them.

She was just ahead of me, pushing through the mall doors and jumping into a van with the doors wide open.

In the driver's seat I saw Tina staring at me with confusion and sadness right before the door's closed and the van drove off; taking Catherine with it.
