Zach couldn't believe what his mother just told him. All he wanted to do was travel back in time and stop Mike from making the worst mistake of his life. Unfortunately, that wasn't possible. So, Zach decided to do the right thing. He grabbed his phone and called Principal Stone.
After a few rings, his principal answered.
"Hello?"
Zack took a deep breath. "Uncle?"
Line Break
Price was ready to burst. She just couldn't hold in the information she remembered. So she told Macey and the rest the truth. No more lies, only the truth.
Line Break
Mr. Stone was ready to faint. Instead, he got in his car and rode to 191 Bloom St. He thought his nephew didn't know anything. He was sure Catherine promised him to not tell. Not yet. After all, he a wife with three kids (one who died a year ago in a car accident). Gabriel was the first to find out the truth, and he loved Catherine as a mother. He even worked for her in her ugly business. A car accident happened and he was gone. Just like that. Meanwhile, Daphne was pregnant, Dylan inside her.
Overall, he had 3 children, a crazy sister that caused one to be dead, one in prison, and one with a dangerous secret.
Line Break
Catherine was ready to call her evacuation group. Being the owner of a black market company had its perks. Sure, she used to work for the government, but after her friend died in a not so coincidental bomb, she switched sides.
She kept Zach a secret. Then, she found out he was close with Ashley Price. Yet, she had Gabriel and Mike under her wing. She only needed Ashley. Her plan was to take Zach away, give Price a letter stating how she had to come to 191 Bloom St, and confuse her to join Catherine's little party.
Unexpectedly, her brother calls and says, "Hey, sis, I committed a crime and Price knows. Care to help?"
Yeah, she was trapped. She could confess, but now. Instead she could use Mike as a distraction, clean her brother's name, capture Zach and Price, and then her company wouldn't be a target because of her family. After all, she wasn't that heartless.
So, she took a deep breath and called her brother back. When he answered, she told him: "Bring your wife to 191 Bloom St, we have business to discuss."
Too bad she didn't know Zach already called, and he told him to bring the cops.
Line Break
The gang met outside 191 Bloom St. The boys were sent to the back door to make sure no one could get out. The girls made Price ring the bell.
Inside, Mike stood up. "I got it!" He yelled.
Zach, Rich, and Sammy nodded. They were discussing how to tell the cops they were innocent. Mike opened the door and faced his sister, Ashley.
Price was shocked. She couldn't move a muscle. Finally, Mike spoke up. "You got taller."
She broke into a smile and crushed him in a bear hug. Mike grunted and walked a few steps back and said, "I miss you, too."
Meanwhile, the girls walked in and before they could ask what the hell Danny, Zach, and Rich were there, the cops came barging in, their guns pointing at them. Not to mention the boys and Catherine entering the scene from the back door.

An hour later…
Zach leaned against the hood of a police car. His mother was on the way to prison, and the cops were finishing interviewing everyone. He spotted Cammie being hugged by his mother. He smiled. It was nice to see her happy and relaxed.
Price walked up to him and said, "Hey, cuz,"
Zach scrunched up his nose. "That sounds weird."
Price nodded and leaned on the car, too. "I know."
Zach couldn't hold it in. "I liked you, a lot."
Price wasn't sure to feel happy, disgusted, or confused. She went with confused. "You what?"
Zach coughed. "I, um, had a crush on you, before the cousin thing."
Price blinked too many times. "Um," She started, "To tell you the truth, I liked you, too."
Zach let out the breath he was holding. "Oh, god, don't tell anyone, okay?"
Price nodded. "Cross my heart."
To make it more awkward, Mr. Stone walked towards them. He immediately hugged his daughter and whispered into her ear. "Thank you for not telling."
Zach left them alone as they talked in low tones. He walked towards Cammie who was also approaching him. He smiled. "Hey, Gallagher Girl,"
Cammie's heart started doing jumping jacks. "Hey, Zachary,"
Zach scrunched up his nose. "It's Zach."
Cammie laughed. "Okay, Zach."
Zach smiled. "So, how's your first week of school going?"
Cammie sighed. "Too much suspense, you?"
Zach shrugged his shoulders. "Too much confusion."
Cammie nodded. "Tell me about it."
He laughed. "Come on, Gallagher Girl, we need to sleep, high school starts again tomorrow."

THE END…
HAHA, JUST KIDDING!
Line Break
Cammie woke up with a smile on her face. Sure, she just saw Zach's mother go to prison last night, but nothing could stop her from seeing him today. After all, today was their first date.
Hello! So, bad ending? To tell you the truth I think it sucked. I just rushed things. Im planning on focusing on my other Gallagher Girls story, the one about Cammie's adventure, her unknown one. I dont know if there's gonna be another book, if it came out already, since I havent checked on Ally's blog. Well, please check out my other story! :D
Please tell me your thoughts on the ending.
Flames allowed.
