Voices. The first thing that my mind registered were the voices.

"How much further?" An all too familiar voice laced with a british accent spoke.

"Well according to the coordinates, we should be 20 miles away." A soft voice answered. "Oops!"

My body jerked as we swerved and I realized then that I was laying in the backseat of a moving vehicle. My head was resting on a pair of legs and I felt fingers gently glide through my hair.

"Keep your eyes on the bloody road will you? Is she awake yet?" She hissed.

Yes I was awake.

I felt a sensation bubble through my body, slowly, as realization settled in...and I'm not talking about the throbbing sensation that was pulsating from my sore head. I'm referring to the bubbling feeling of...anger. Yes. It was anger that crept through me as I lay perfectly still, trying to ignore the small feeling of relief and hope that accompanied it.

My eyes were still closed and I felt the legs underneath me shift a little. There was a slight pause before the girl who had my head cradled in her lap answered.

"She's been conscious for the past minute and 20 seconds"

Bex must have turned around in her seat then because she suddenly spoke in a very thick accent, "Well then why the hell are her bloody eyes still closed. (the next few words were a colorful arrangement of insults spoken in Farsi which I'd rather not repeat)

"Bex..." Macey recoiled and removed her hand from my hair.

"Cam...Cammie" She gently said my name as I slowly opened my eyes, her face swarming into focus.

Now at that moment there were a couple of things I wanted to do first.

1. I wanted to beat the crap out of the three of them for interfering with my mission and I knew I could even from the backseat of this vehicle.

2. I wanted to wrap my arms around each of them and give them a bone crushing hug.

I chose neither but at the time I would have gone with the first choice.

"No...No...NOO!" I bolted upright, something I shouldn't have done as my head cried out in protest.

"Liz stop the car." I spoke in a low even tone as Macey gaped at me.

"But we-" The petite blonde cautiously started to reply as she eyed me from the rearview mirror.

"LIZ!" I interrupted more strongly and we all toppled as Liz swirved the car off the road and jaggedly put it in park. A jeep whizzed by loudly honking it's horn at Liz's driving skills.

Wasting no time, I gripped the handle of the backseat door and pushed it open, jumping out beside a green pasture. That Jeep grew smaller and smaller in the distance, leaving us all alone on that highway.

I took a few paces away from the car, my feet crunching into the gravel as I heard the whining of three car doors open.

"Cam" Macey called out. Behind her I saw Bex and Liz moving closer.

I couldn't help myself from letting the anger that was bubbling inside me, bubble outward.

"No! You guys stop it!" I held up my hands, whipped my body around and stared down at the three faces of my best friends. Liz literally froze midstep.

"What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here!" I cried out...wondering then where exactly was the 'here' I was referring to?

Macey and Bex kept walking, Bex had a determined look on her face.

"No! Cam you stop it! What the bloody hell were you thinking! How could you be so stupid!" Bex stood inches away from my face, her hazel eyes piercing into mine when I realized then that Rebecca Baxter, the girl who helped capture and expose a double agent when she was only 12, the girl who fought and took on 3 very large Circle members last semester, my best friend..was frightened. And it unleashed something inside of me that had been dormant.

"Cammie I know you want to find answers, I know you want to find out what the hell it is they want from you . Hell I know I do too! But that doesn't mean you have to do it alone. It doesn't mean you have to face them alone or runaway from us !" Her voice shook as she pointed between Macey, Liz and herself.

"They want me! Don't you guys get it!" I cried, throwing my arms up in the air.

"They want me...they need me!" I stabbed my chest with my pointer finger as I spoke. "They are the reason my dad is dead. They're the reason I have to hear my mom cry herself to sleep every year on the anniversary of my fathers death!" My face was wet. I don't even know when I had started crying.

"Aunt Abby was shot. Shot! By a bullet that had your name on it" I pointed to Macey who had tears developing in her eyes. "Why? Because you were with me! And they wont think twice about getting people out of their way just so they can get their hands on me." I was shaking.

The girls all stared at me with a haunted look on their faces because they knew every word I said was true and neither of them had dry eyes .

"There willing to hurt the people I love and care about the most. If that means I have to go out on my own and continue on alone in order to protect the ones I love, then my God I won't even think twice about it." I turned away from them. "Stay away from me. It's not safe." I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand. There was an eery silence that followed. For a minute there I almost thought that they actually listened to what I had said. I almost thought that they had decided to leave me alone. But then Bex's voice cut through the silence, shattering those possibilities and reminding me why I called her my best friend.

"We're sisters Cam. I don't care what you say," Rebecca Baxter crossed her arms and stood her ground, "Because I'm not leaving you." Her voice not faltering for one second.

"Neither am I!" Liz crossed her arms too.

"Ditto" Macey answered.

"But It's not safe for you guys!" I countered, already realizing it was a lost cause, but I voiced my opinion anyways. "I'm not safe" I barely whispered, and if those three standing before me wouldn't have been highly trained spies then I know they wouldn't have heard me.

But they are. And they did.

"Cam, you were there for me last year...when no one else was. Now it's my turn. I don't care about the dangers or the risks. Someone is after my best friend and you bet your ass I'm gonna fight till the end. Cammie..." Macey placed her hands on my shoulder, wiping away a stray tear that rolled down my cheek, "I think you hit your head one too many times if you actually thought you were gonna be able to get away with this. Especially from us!"

"She's right Cam. I mean come on...what if your in a tight situation and you need someone to hack into the security system in under 60 seconds" Liz eyed me.. Are you gonna do it?"

Macey jumped, "And what if you're cornered and surrounded by agents...whose gonna be there to help you kick some ass?"

Bex stood quietly observing before answering, "You're a twit Cam" She stared at me with a serious look on her face before letting a smile creep in, "But this is gonna be bloody brilliant."

I felt the corners of my mouth turn upwards as Macey said, "Face it Morgan. You need us."

"Nothing I say will change you're guys' mind?"

"Nope. Cam we're with you the whole way through." Liz had a blotchy face. She wrapped her arms around me and gave me a bone crushing hug.

Macey and Bex joined in.

Seconds later Liz pulled away, "By the way I'm so sorry about the concussion. You came running so fast, I didn't see you and everything was just a blur- "

"Wait that was you?" I said in disbelief.

"I'm sorry! We were coming to your rescue...we knew they had your tail!" Liz responded.

"How did they find me? I ditched the tracers in the airport. And the bugs." I stopped and eyed them. "How did you guys find me?"

"Cam...HOnestly... you seriously underestimate us." Bex patted my shoulders and nodded towards Liz, " Show her."

Liz got all jumpy and excited...the way she always did when she spoke about her gadgets. "Okay see this little thing here?" She pulled out a black little box, "This baby has the ability to detect tracers. You still had one embedded in your hair when we found you in the back street." She waved the black box over my head and slowly brought it down, "And we found you because well...before you left...i kind of sort of slipped you a tracer of my own.." The black box buzzed to life at it passed over my stomach.

My eyes bulged wide. "Liz you didn't"

"Oh she did.." Bex held up a plastic baggie..."Cookies anyone?" and smiled.
