Hi guys, I know I know, you're probably extremely mad at me for leaving a cliffhanger like that and not updating for four or five months and I apologize. The reason I didn't update was because I honestly forgot about this story and for the past couple of months I've been kind of doubting myself, thinking that my writing wasn't that good and things like that so I kind of didn't want to update or write my stories for a while but I pushed myself to do it for all those people who actually like my stories and not leave them hanging and I guess in the mists I forgot about this story and since I did I soon forgot all my ideas. Then on Wednesday, I got a review from an anonymous person called 'Happy weirdo' and they kind of brought me back to the right set of mind, so you can thank them for this chapter and the little surprise at the end that I'll say in the author's note and also I want to personally thank them for it because I probably wouldn't have updated this story if they hadn't written to me. Strangely enough, after they wrote to me, all the ideas I had for this story came back to me as well as some new one's and let me tell you, you will be surprised. Anyway, sorry for the long author's note now on to the story!

Chapter 9
Grant's P.O.V.
It was the day after Cammie had gotten kidnapped and we were all in Boulder, Colorado. About an hour after the plan was explained we booked the soonest flight for Boulder which was actually half an hour later and it would land three hours later. When we got here we discussed the plan once more and went to sleep. IhavetosayZachmadeagreatplantogetCammieback,nowonderhe'stopoftheclassand-
"Grant, it's time." Zach announced and I nodded. I climbed out of the car and walked across the sidewalk as dad finished putting the handcuffs on properly and stepped out of the car, hiding them under his jacket since we were on a busy street full of civilians and didn't want them to see them.
"You guys ready?" Zach whispered barely audible so I knew the people around us couldn't hear. We nodded slightly and he took that as a yes and we walked towards the building. It was a white granite kind of building that had large glass doors that said it was a law firm and if you were a random citizen you would think that and continue on but since we're not ordinary citizens we knew that underneath the building was a secret headquarter for the C.O.C.
The plan Zach made was that dad was searching the Academy when I found him –my part was that I was becoming a C.O.C. agent-, subdued him, and brought him to one of the most strictly guarded and secure C.O.C. buildings in the country which happened to be the exact same one Cammie was in –how much of a coincidence is that, glad to know they take my sister serious enough to lock her in one of their most guarded bases though I wish they hadn't even taken her in the first place- and we were almost in. When we get inside we're going to tell them what we are here for and then bring him to Cammie's cell.
Then Zach will decide to give me a tour of the place and we'll shut some things down so Liz, mom, and Jonas can get into the security easier and quicker. Then when the defenses are all down Macey, Bex, and Mr. Solomon will go through the hallways that no one are in and they'll use the key that we hid by the door to Cammie's cell, unlock the door, get Cammie and dad out, and get them out of the building as fast as they can. Then when they are safely out, Zach and I'll leave the building, get into the car that everyone else is in, and drive back to the airport and by the time we are on the plane, the C.O.C will realize they are gone.
My thoughts were interrupted as we opened the door and walked in, Dad right behind us. The front room we had walked in was just like a regular waiting room in a law firm and we turned down the first hallways towards a door marked 'employees only'. When we stopped in front of the door Zach looked to see if anyone was around before putting his hand against the wall, right next to the door. A light from underneath his hand scanned it and the door opened when it finished.
When the door opened up completely the lights came on to reveal an elevator and after a second we walked in. When the door closed behind us we started to go down as the regular elevator music played(A/N:AnyoneelseremindedofPercyJacksontheLastOlympianhere?SorryIlovedthecommentthatPercymadeonregardstotheTitan'ssideridingintheelevatortogettoOlympuslisteningtogroovyApollosinging.:Dsorry,let'scontinuewiththestory…) and after a couple seconds the elevator stopped and the doors opened to reveal a big room with about 20 C.O.C. agents in it.
When they heard us enter they looked up and their eyes widened when they landed on Zach –he is the second in command after all- before darting back to where they were looking at before as we started across the room. Suddenly about half-way across the room someone walked in front of Zach who stopped to stare at him as he nodded at him.
"Sir, who are these people with you?" He asked obediently and Zach replied emotionlessly.
"This is Grant Newman, a new recruit for us, and this is someone you should know." He stated pointing to us. He nodded at me before looking at dad and his eyes widened.
"You found him sir?" The man asked and Zach shook his head.
"No but Grant did, he found him looking around Gallagher Academy and subdued him before bringing him to me." Zach explained expressionlessly again which I have to say freaked me out; this was definitely not the Zach I knew.
"Where are you going to put him sir?" The man asked.
"Where we put our prisoners Goldberg." He snapped and Goldberg nodded in understanding.
"Sorry for asking sir, it won't happen again." Goldberg apologized and Zach glared at him.
"It better not, you are dismissed." He stated and Goldberg nodded before walking away and we continued through the room and into a hallway that was blindingly white. As we walked down the hallways we, surprisingly, didn't pass anyone, though we walked past lots of door(67 to be precise), all looking the same as one another. Suddenly, right as we turned down one hallway we practically ran into someone but stopped just in time. Greatanotherpersontodealwith,ohwell,Zach'llgetridofthemfast,I thought and strangely Zach stiffened as he saw the person's face which made me look closer at them.
It was a woman about 5'11' with long black hair, tan skin, and green eyes, Zach'seyes, I thought, and froze as I realized who this was, thisisCassandraGoode,Zach'smomandtheleaderoftheCircle,ohboy,IhopeZachcangetusoutofthisone.I looked over at Zach to see what he would do to see him smiling at her, though since I know him so well I could just barely see a little panic and shock at seeing his mom.
"Mom!" He exclaimed and she smiled at him warmly, like all mother's do.
"Zachary, you're here!" She exclaimed, hugging him tightly as if she handed seen him in a while, like all mother would and it, surprisingly, seemed completely genuine and loving, but what did I expect, Zach did say he loved him mom to death so she had to be a great mom for him to love her even though she's done so many horrible things in her life. Mrs. Goode pulled away fast, getting a stern motherly look on her face, "Zachary Bryan Goode, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be at school young man, what have I told you about ditching?" She demanded, putting her hands on her hips like all mothers do when they reprimand their children. As an answer Zach looked towards dad and I, causing his mom to look at us, "Zachary, who are these people?" She asked.
"This is Grant Newman, a new recruit and friend from school and this," He started, pointing at dad now, "Is someone you already know." He stated shortly and Mrs. Goode's eyes narrowed deadly and scarily at dad, so I guess they've met before and don't like each other though it's just a guess, I could be wrong –note the sarcasm.
"Matthew(A/N:OhIshouldprobablyexplainthis.YouseetheothernightIwentontoAllyCarter'swebsiteandIwasboredsoIreadthequestionsaskedaboutGG4:OnlytheGoodSpyYoung,anditsaidthatshe'dnevergivenhimanamebutifshehaditwouldhavebeenMatthewsothatiswhyhisnameisdifferentinthischapterthanthelast,becausethat'swhatAllyCarterchoseittobe) Morgan, C.I.A. operative, went M.I.A. 4 years ago, graduate from Blackthorne Institute, wife of retired C.I.A. agent Rachel Morgan, brother-in-law to Abigail Cameron, best friend of retired C.I.A. agent and rogue C.O.C. agent Joseph Solomon, and father of Cameron Morgan." She stated off, glaring at him, the love and happiness she had for Zach completely gone as she glared in hatred and anger at dad.
"Hello Cassandra, how have you been since the last time we met?" Dad asked casually as if he was talking to a random friend he knew, making Mrs. Goode glare harder at him.
"How'd you find him Zach?" She asked emotionlessly and Zach nodded at me.
"Grant found him snooping around Gallagher and brought him to me and I decided to bring Grant with me and Mr. Morgan." He explained and she nodded seriously.
"I'll take him then." She stated and I looked at Zach to see he looked perfectly calm but I knew that inside he was panicking, wondering what was happening.
"It's ok mom, I was just going to take him to the cells." Zach reassured her but she shook her head.
"No, I have something else for you to do." She stated and suddenly looked at me, "Thank you for finding him and bringing him to my son, you can head back the way you came and go home now, you are no longer needed here." She decided and I nodded as I saw Zach's swift nod, telling me to do what his mom said so things wouldn't get worse and so with that I turned around and walked back the way we had come, the plan crashing down in the process.
