Chapter Eight

"So we have no idea what these two agents look like?" Zach asked me.

"Right, no clue," I responded.

"Okay, so if…anything happens, we'll try to meet back here."

"Yeah," I said, "since we really don't have any other place to meet."

Zach nodded, "Okay Gallagher Girl, let's go find Bex. We'll leave now so we can take an indirect route." He didn't say it as a question.

"We'll it's probably going to be indirect with your navigation skills." I smirked. Zach glared. "Just saying."

Zach's glare turned to a laugh; it was good to see him smile.

I tossed him the keys and he easily caught them with one hand. Then I walked out of the room with Zach following. We made our way to the garage. As I stepped off the elevator to go to the car I noticed Zach sweep his eyes over the garage. It wasn't debatable that Zach had good instincts, and I knew I could trust him

Opening the passenger side door of our rental car, I slid in. Zach's door slammed shut at the same time mine did.

Zach drove out of the parking garage. Our hotel was in the central part of the city, and the college was in the southern section of Dublin, so we did have a ways to go. We weaved around a bit, and passed the Dublin Castle. I again imagined what it would be like if Zach and I were here in a different time, under a different set of circumstances, in a different life. But we weren't and it's not like I could change that.

After driving around for about fifteen minutes, we arrived at the college. There was a huge green park area next to the campus. Looking at Zach, I stepped out of the car and slammed the door. Zach got out and squinted.

"Hopefully these guys know who to look for." He noted.

"I guess we should just walk around the park."

Zach and I started to stroll along a path. We still had ten minutes before the meeting was supposed to officially take place. I watched as a group of co-eds played Frisbee. It was beautiful outside and a slight breeze gently blew my hair off my shoulders.

"Nobody here seems to be a MI6 agent." I said.

"Ahh Emily, appearances can be deceiving," was Zach's reply. A smirk played across his lips.

"You think I don't know that? I'm a good spy Zach." I crossed my arms.

"I never said you weren't. Besides you're the infamous Chameleon; the girl who blend in anywhere. If you don't want to be seen nobody sees you, except for me." Zach said while still scanning the park.

I looked at him, "Why is that Zach? How come you notice me?" But before Zach could respond, I saw them. And so did he.

A guy and girl were heading this way. It was 4:00, it had to be them.

As the got within earshot, Zach turned and spoke to me.

"Hey Em, you forgot to show me those pictures of those adorable kittens your cat Suzie had." Then he smirked.

The nerve of him, I thought, but I didn't say anything because the tall, blond guy who was walking by with the girl stopped.

"Did you say your cat just had kittens?" he asked in a sexy accent. His fair skin and blue eyes were paired with a smile that could melt any girl's heart.

I laughed and smiled. Zach looked at the guy skeptically.

"Yes and they're super cute," I said in a somewhat gleeful voice. This had to be the two MI6 agents.

The girl spoke. "That's so cool. My dog, Langley, just had puppies." The girl was about an inch taller than me with deep auburn hair and hazel eyes. She had a light smattering of freckles across her perfect skin. In a word, she was beautiful. And she was looking at Zach in a way that made me slightly uncomfortable.

I glanced at Zach, these were definitely them.

Just to make sure, I asked them a question. "You know we've been walking around this park looking for a friend of mine, Rebecca, do you know her?"

The guy looked at his partner and then outstretched a hand to Zach.

"Mr. Riley O'Donnell and this is my partner Jane Bowen. We are indeed interested in your friend Rebecca."

Zach took Riley's hand. "Zachary Goode and this is Cameron Morgan. We were told you had information to give us." Zach then reached to shake Jane's hand who looked a little too excited.

As Jane was grasping Zach's hand Riley reached his hand to grab mine. "Pleasure," he said. Gosh his accent was cute.

After all the formalities were out of the way, I became serious.

"So what do you know about Bex's, or Operative Baxter's I should say, disappearance?"

Riley spoke. "Rebecca was working to bring down a recruiter for the Circle of Cavan, basically someone who convinces spies or future spies to become double agents. This recruiter had been tracked to Dublin. Rebecca had been following him and trying to get an identity, and then she disappeared."

"You obviously think the Circle captured her then?" I asked.

Jane grimaced, "Most likely, that would explain her lack of contact. And we aren't aware of anyone else who would have a reason to take her."

"Well where should we begin to look for her then?" this time Zach asked the question.

"Rebecca's only contact we are aware of is a man by the name William Taylor. He had connections within the Circle." Riley informed us.

Zach's face paled slightly, I made note to ask him about it later.

"How can we contact Taylor?"

Jane gave a quick glance at Riley before speaking. "We have a safe house on campus here, come by tomorrow and we will have a way for your to reach Taylor. We can also give you the files Rebecca had been accessing."

Riley slipped Zach a piece of paper. I assumed it had an address on it.

"Oh and here's a flash drive with all emails and communications that Operative Rebecca sent or received." Jane told me. "It really was a pleasure." As she hugged me she gave me the device. Zach and I nodded our goodbyes and Jane, along with Riley began to walk away from us.

I fingered the flash drive in my pocket. Please lead us to Bex, I silently pleaded.

Zach turned to face me; I noticed he glanced at Jane as she strode off with Riley.

"What do you want to do now Cam?" he asked.

Thinking a moment, I didn't answer. I took in the green of the park and the massive trees.

"I guess we go back to the hotel and read over the emails. That's really all we can do." My voice dropped to a whisper at the last part.

Zach looked into my eyes. "Cammie, we are going to find her. The mission just started, you can't expect to have made much progress in just a day. C'mon let's go back to the hotel." He reached out and squeezed my shoulder. Oddly, the touch of his hand provided some comfort.

I inhaled and nodded. "Let's go."

On the ride back to the hotel I leaned my head against the window and watched the streets of Dublin pass by.

At one point I looked in the mirror and saw a black SUV behind us. That car, it was familiar. I swear I had seen it before. We were almost to the hotel, if it was a tail; I needed to alert Zach so we could lose it. Before I could though, the car turned on the street before ours. A flood of relief filled me, but I knew to make sure to look for it again.

Zach followed me back to my room without saying a word. He shut and chained the door as I rush to plug the drive into my computer. Files began to appear on the screen, most of them looked like copies of emails. I decided to start with the oldest and work to the most recent ones.

I felt Zach walk up behind me and put his hands on the back of the chair I was sitting in.

But I wasn't paying any attention to him. As I quickly read through the first email my eyes widened.

"Whoa," I breathed my voice barely audible.

"What is it?" Zach bent down to peer at the screen.

"Look," I told him as I pointed to my computer.
