Chapter 15
Relief
Zach's POV
"Come on Zach," Grant pleaded, "I know she is missing but you can't keep moping around."
It has been a day and a half exactly since Cammie was taken.
"Grant, leave me alone." I growled.
"Zach we have class. We are going to be late." Grant protested for the door.
"You don't get it do you?" I screamed. "She was the last thing I had left! I have no family, I have no one outside Blackthorne. She was the only thing keeping me going. If I have truly lost her, I don't know what I am going to do."
"Mate… I am so sorry." Grant paused to say more but I stopped him.
"I don't wanna hear it Grant." I murmured. "Can you just leave me alone."
"Zach…" Grant started.
"I said GO!" I yelled forcefully.
I picked up one of Jonas's hard cover books and threw it at him. He avoided it by running out the door.
I sighed heavily and pulled my pillow over my head.
I honestly don't know what to do anymore.
…
It's been three days since Cammie was last heard from. The CIA has had no leads on where she is being held and all her trackers have gone offline.
Each day I have gotten more and more depressed. My homework has piled up and I don't even leave the room unless I am going to eat.
I am under strict orders to not get involved with her case and they have me monitored 24/7 to make sure that I follow those orders.
There is always a teacher standing outside our room and they have cameras installed as well. We have already been told that if the cameras are turned off the CIA and the teachers are notified immediately, allowing us no time to do anything any way. I have gotten used to being watched that I can tune it all out easily.
Suddenly there was a loud bang from the door and Grant flew into the room, skidding to a stop.
"Zach, come quickly." Grant said frantically. "They have information on Cammie."
Immediately a feeling of dread froze my heart. It can't be good. It has been to long.
I must have stayed silent for too long because Grant hauled me from my bed and dragged me from the room and down the hall.
We stopped outside the headmaster's office.
Grant knocked hurriedly and then pulled me inside.
Jonas was already waiting.
"Oh, Zach, Grant. Excellent." Dr Steve said, far too happy. "Now we have some very good news.
I looked up quickly, a flare of hope brightened inside me.
"Cameron has been found." Dr Steve said, bouncing on the balls of his feet happily.
I let out a sigh of relief.
"Is she ok?" I asked.
"She has a few bruises, burns and a gun shot wound but she has been taken care of and is expected to make a full recovery." Dr Steve replied. "You can fly out and see her tomorrow."
I nodded and ran to go and pack.
I vaguely heard him calling for me to go back but I was to far gone to pay any attention.
'Every thing is going to be alright now.' I thought to myself.
If only I had waited to see what else Dr Steve had to say…
