Cam POV
'We let him hunt' She said. Her words bouncing around the room.
'Hunt what?' I asked
'Not what' She shook her head quickly 'But who' She let of an exaggerated cackle as if it was the funniest joke she's heard in years.
'Who, Tina? Who is the hunter and who is the huntee?' I snapped. Tina stopped laughing suddenly and stared at me. She tilted her head to one side.
'You're a smart girl, it was your plan' She said plainly. I furrowed my brows not understanding a word that she was saying, she sighed dramatically 'We went through this last time Cammie' She grabbed my hand and squeezed 'We're on the same team' she whispered. I snatched my hand away and stepped back
'No' I shook my head 'We aren't'
'You can't stop it Cammie!' She shouted. There was a look in her eyes that seemed familiar, almost for a brief moment, the old Tina was back 'The fact that you're here means the hunt has already begun!'
'What's your motive?' Bex snapped, coming forward. The sparkle in Tina's eyes faded. She returned to her mindless state, something pulling her back in.
'Being able to take even a little bit of your happiness was appealing to me' She whispered. My blood ran cold. These were the words she said to me last time we were together, just before she drove to the lake to drown me.
And with that, I walked out of the room.
I couldn't quite comprehend the conversation that I had with Tina. She didn't seem like herself at all. The girl who I went to school with was not the same girl who kidnapped me, nor was that the same girl who was locked up in the cell.
'What was Tina's hearing verdict?' I asked as we walked down the corridor. Liz double checked the CIA database.
'Without your testimony, the judge ruled that she wasn't in the right frame of mind. He said; This individual exhibits traits of memory loss and confusion, I do not believe that when the crime in question was committed, that she was aware of what she was doing. My decision is that she should be reprimanded into solitary confinement'
'I can't believe this!' Bex exclaimed 'She's lying! She has to be lying! We all saw how Tina acted! She had this planned for years!'
'I think it's a little more complicated than that' Abby sighed.
'What do you mean Abby?' Macey asked. My aunt turned to me, I bit my lip to stop crying.
'I didn't testify' I said 'I could have exposed her for who she was but I didn't have the guts to face her'
'Cameron, this is not your fault' Abby held my shoulders 'This is not your fault' She repeated.
'Has she had any visitors?' I wiped my eyes, trying to be professional.
'One' Liz looked through the list 'About a month ago' She continued to read, her eyes went wide 'Oh' She said
'Oh what?' We all asked
'Her only visitor was Cammie' Liz said
'What!' We exclaimed
'That...that's impossible' I shook my head 'Although it makes sense. The things she was saying, she said that we'd gone through it last time'
'Maybe she imagined it?' Macey suggested. I shook my head
'She recognised me. There was a moment there...' I shook my head again 'She remembered me. She remembered her motives against me'
'We know it wasn't you, so then someone has used your name' Bex said
'The guard said that Tina's been asking about me for the last month' I tried to connect the dots in my head 'Damian Knight has been in this country for about the same time'
'And Cameron Morgan can be unisex, so that could be him' Macey added
'Or it could be someone else' Abby said 'Remember that we don't know what his goal is'
'Maybe I should call him' I suggested
'Do you really think that it's a wise move?' Abby asked
'I either wait for him to call me, or I do it first' I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone, dialling Knight's number.
'How is miss Walters?' He asked
'What did you do to her?' I asked 'Was this some kind of joke?'
'I can promise you that I have no idea what you are talking about' He was surprised and slightly irritated
'Well, this girl couldn't say boo to a goose. It's almost like she's been drugged or something'
'She got ahead of me' He muttered probably thinking that I didn't hear.
'Are you going to tell me what's going on?' I raised my eyebrow
'No' He snapped 'I need you to work this out. There's another surprise waiting in the hotel. I have something urgent to take care off'
He hung up. I stared at the phone.
'What's wrong?' Bex asked
'I get the feeling that Damian isn't in control anymore'
'That's a good thing, right?' Liz said. I shook my head and glanced back down the corridor to where Tina's room was.
'I'm not so sure anymore' We all stood in the corridor for a little while longer. The guard came back carrying a file.
'Here you go. All of her medication listed in order of when she took them' He said. Liz took the file and began to skim through it. Her eyes widened
'Are you sure about this?' She looked up at him
'Positive. We had a doctor come in to see her last month'
'What's wrong, Liz?' I asked. Liz shook her head
'Truth Serum, Morphine, Oxycodone, Methadone. The list goes on! Cam, I've only a concoction like this once before'
'When?' Bex asked. Liz's gaze never wavered from mine. I inhaled quickly.
'When the Circle tried to get answers from Cam'
Zach POV
Never have I ever been in a place as beautiful as New Orleans. The fusion of cultures and traditions embedded with history so rich with flavour that everywhere you look, you will find something different. That is unless you are a spy, because it is our jobs to notice anything and everything that happens around me. After a few hours, all of us were conscious of our surroundings.
'I don't understand why Damian brought us here for us to just drink and wait!' Grant banged his fist on the table.
'Perhaps we are exactly where he wants us to be' Townsend pontered
'What do you mean?' I asked. Townsend shrugged
'Mr Knight doesn't strike me as someone who leaves everything on a whim. I believe that we are exactly where he wants us to be and he's carefully choreographed it for us and the girls'
'Have you heard from Cam, yet?' Jonas asked. I shook my head
'She said that she'd let me know once she'd seen Tina. I haven't heard from any of the girls' I said
'Me neither' Grant checked his phone.
'What do you think that he's planning?' Nick asked
'He doesn't want to hurt us, if he can avoid it' My dad took a sip of his coffee 'He might be buying his time'
'For what?' I asked. Edward shrugged
'I don't know. But knowing Cameron, I reckon she'd figure it out soon enough'
Author's note: Someone drugged Tina in the same way that Cam was drugged! And what did Damian mean when he said She got ahead of me? ... in the next chapter, Cammie will work out what is going on...and let me tell you that Cammie. Will. Be. PISSED, See you all on Thursday xxx
GallaghergirlEmbassyrowFan: Thank you! There are a lot of surprises in store! Once Cammie works out what's going on, she goes on a mission to stop it (there will also be an interrogation scene), and Zach will go after Damian...also something will happen to Sean (don't kill me!). Tina was drugged by someone who didn't want her to tell Cammie what she knew (because let's face it, despite being crazy, Tina knows a lot) xxx
Zammieotp: Thank you so much! I can honestly say that everyone has misjudged Damian...LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THE MESSAGE HE LEFT xxx
Fairy095: Thank you! I don't think that Damian likes her in a romantic way, I think that he admires her in a professional sense. I mean Cam is a legend after all xxx
Smiles180: What do you think could happen next? xxx
ALLY CARTER 4 EVER: Thank you so much for all of your reviews on every chapter! They've really made my day to read them! I can't reply to all of them because some of your questions were answered as the chapters went on...but the two questions that made me laugh were on the chapter 18. GCSEs are basically the equivalent of the SATs or Finals that you might have if you're from America. I'm from the UK so I did GCSEs. Also a DILF stands for Dad I'd Like to Fuck. Lol. Cam's dad was famous because he locked up the majority of prisoners there. You were right, there was truth serum...and other things in her system. See you next time xxx
Miss. L 2002: I didn't want Tina to appear sane at all when Cam went to see her. I thought that her abnormal behaviour would have shocked Cam and made the whole situation a little more serious. There's also the 'What if' Question with 'What if Cam went to Tina's trial hearing?' (something that Bex mentioned near the beginning of the story), would Tina have been loopy? Would Cam have been able to save her? Whoooo knows! Damian's plan will be revealed next chapter, but he only has professional admiration for her and nothing else. He's a classy bad-guy, someone brought up with money and wealth (and manners clearly). To be honest I'm so ready just to drop the baby's sex in for everyone to discuss, but I don't want to yet. I've already selected the name and middle name (and might be planning another story for this series...) xxx
Flash 2.0: Hopefully this will answer your question xxx
