I shoved the comms in my ear and rushed out. The three of us, Bex, Macey, and I were going to be the first ones down the hospital walls. We strapped on our gear and descended the 25 story wall. Bex was grinning ear to ear and Macey was screaming about her hair in her lipgloss. The rest of the class was starting to come down. Joe Solomon wasn't among them. I wonder where he was going. Maybe I should tail him instead….
Bex was the first person down the entire wall. Macey and I were right behind her. We jumped down and stashed our gear in the place Solomon told us to. We quickly ran away from our classmates.
"I say we split up." I told them. Bex nodded, but Macey looked unsure.
"What Mace, everything will be fine. We are completely surrounded by trained agents and you have us." Bex assured her. She was starting to get antsy.
"Fine, but let's meet up for lunch or something. I'll text you guys."She said, looking down. As soon as she said this, Bex was gone. I shook my head.
"Listen Macey, everything is going to be fine and we will have fun doing this. The Agency never lets anyone in on a training session that has to do with a mission. Just go have fun and trail some spies." I encouraged her. She nodded reluctantly. I walked away from her without looking back. She was going to be fine, I knew it.
I turned my comms down and just walked around like everyone around was going. I pretended to bend down and tie my shoelace. I took this opportunity to look around at everyone. At that moment, I saw one guy. I also heard him. My comms got static and unfamiliar frequency when I was around people with comms that weren't on the same frequency as ours. I could see a gun peeking out of his holster. It was also the way he moved; sly, yet normal, cunning, yet went unnoticed and very soft steps. I quickly got up and started to track him. He was all over the place, muttering into his comms to other agents on the case. It was actually quite interesting. Solomon said we couldn't know the mission but I bet if you paid enough attention to the operatives, you could get some of the pieces and put them together.
I made sure he was never out of my site, but then I saw him make an almost unnoticeable gesture to someone across the square. It was a blonde lady who was talking into her comms. I quickly left the guys for the women, for she looked more into the action. I quickly ducted into a nearby store when she whipped around looking for footstep patterns similar to hers. She saw nothing, though she was getting a bit more suspicious. I slipped out of the store and followed through a dark alley connector. She pulled her gun at a man.
"Give us what we want and we can be on our way." She said murderously. So the CIA wants something.
"I'll give you what you want once that girl you brought leaves." He said in a ragged voice, pointing to me. She whipped around and muttered "dammit". I dived behind a dumpster and ran for my life. I believe she saw my foot. Fuck.
"Catcher, I got a tail. It's a girl; she saw what we were going. We are going to have to bring her in for questioning." She muttered into her comms. I took this advantage to run away from the scene. She didn't notice my absence.
In my ear, Mr. Solomon said, "Close catch Ms. Morgan, be more careful next time."
God, how could I let myself be seen? I couldn't have been any stupider than that. Way to go Cammie. Now the whole team knows that there was a girl on that women's tail. Well, at least I could tail her without her finding out. One point for me!
I now have to be more careful and precautious about my work. Crap. Ugh, why did that guy have to see me! I wonder how Bex and Macey are doing. I haven't heard like anything from the rest of the girls so I assume they are doing good. I went and bought myself an ice cream at Coldstone's and walked around again. I found another agent but wasn't sure if I should tail them because Tina was already following him. Man, she really needed to work on concealment skills.
"Hey Tina, I can see you following that agent. Tighten up." I said to her over my comms. She nodded, figuring I could see her.
I started walking in another direction when someone ran into me. I gasped. My ice cream was all over my tank top.
"Oh gosh, I am so sorry!" A boy about my age said looking around for help. He was a hot boy.
"Cam? What happened? You okay?'Bex's voice rang through my ear. I had to get away from this boy. I tried walking away but he just followed me.
"Hey, what can I do to help? Buy you another tank top?" He asked kindly, "There's a store over there we can go find something."
"No thanks. I'm fine" I said, looking down at my feet. My classmate's voices buzzed in my ear, asking me what happened and if I was alright.
"Ms. Morgan, whatever is happening, do not reveal yourself. Just remember that." Mr. Solomon said on a serious note.
"Listen, dude, it's fine, I can just go into the store over there and grab myself another one. You don't have to do anything." I said, pushing him away. I couldn't help but feel his muscles in his abdomen…HOT!
"But I feel like helping because I accidently ran into you. Please just let me help. It will make me feel a lot better." He said, giving me the puppy dog face. Aw, he's so adorable. I knew that I shouldn't give in, but to be like a normal teenage girl, I couldn't decline.
"Sure, fine, that's really sweet of you." I said sweetly, giving him my most dazzling smile.
"Okay, well I think that is a SugarLips tank top and I know that store sells them." He said. I gave him a funny look. Was this dude…gay?
He saw my petrified look. "I'm not gay, don't worry. I, um, am here a lot, so I know a lot about everything here." He told me chuckling. I nodded. He pulled me along into the store Pink Domino.
I never been in this store, except that Macey told me she liked this store. I grabbed another tank and went to the register to pay. I grabbed my credit card when Zach's hand grabbed mine.
He looked into my eyes, "I pay". I shook my head.
"No, you don't have to really, it's like fourteen bucks. Whatever, no big deal." I said, just brushing him off. I had my mom's CIA credit card and since she has done so much for the Agency, it covers whatever we need.
"No, I got it, okay? Just let me do something so I don't feel completely useless." He said sternly. Well whatever, now I don't have to explain this to my mom. She would be mad if I got involved with another civilian. Wait; something caught my eye as he pulled out his credit card. He made sure to cover his name, but I got a glance of the business. It said "Central Intelligent Agency". I froze. He pain for it, but I needed to get out as quickly as possible. Who was this boy? I grabbed the tank top, thanked him and quickly walked away. He caught up with after signing the receipt.
"Hey, I never got your name." He said, jogging next to me. I was distracted.
"Uh, oh, Cammie. Thanks for the tank top. I really have to go." I said and with that, I raced into the bathroom to change and find a different escape route. The window! I quickly pushed it open and ran as fast as I can. Was that boy on a mission with those other CIA agents? Not possible because he didn't have any comms on. I would tell and my comms would pick up the static. I checked to make sure that boy wasn't following me. Coast was clear. I had to do something. I check the time on my phone. It was only 1:48pm. I still had about 2 hours left and I couldn't let Solomon know I had failed a mission or at least, planning on failing. I had to continue with the objective, follow a CIA agent during their mission.
I picked up a brunette who was apparently the leader of the mission. She seemed to know everything everywhere. She got all the action. I could tell that I think Mick was also tailing her, but she wasn't doing a very good job. I was also on the lookout for the CIA mystery boy but I couldn't find him anywhere, which was making me think that he left, but Boston was a big city, so he could be anywhere. I shook him out of my head. I couldn't stand to be around him. He was strong, he was hot, he, I guess was smart, and he had the most amazing sparkling emerald eyes that I could not get out of my mind.
Hi! Thanks for all the amazing review. I will update soon. Hopefully everyday, but with LAX and homework, it will be difficult. I had a really great review idea and I am so going to try to work it into the plot. Let me know if you have any ideas that I can write. And yes, there will be tons of ZAMMIE! Put it this way, I'm a Josh hater. :)
