Cam POV

The person you are calling is unavailable, please try again later.

I gave up phoning Zach again. For some reason he wasn't answering. Maybe he just fell asleep?

'How are you feeling?' Abby asked

'Better, now that I know what's causing the pain, I know what to expect' I gave a weak smile. Abby soothed my hair.

'I've spoken to your mom and Joe-'

'How's Sean?' I asked

'He's fine' There was a twinkle in her eyes 'He found a secret passage'

'He didn't!' I exclaimed. Abby chuckled

'Guess he's more of a pavement artist than we thought'

'Which passage did he find?' I asked. Abby smiled like the Cheshire cat.

'Your favourite'

'I'm impressed. I found it when I was 5 but I was used to the school by then. Finding it at 6 is very interesting'

'You might be pleased, but Joe is losing his mind. He's not used to having a toddler running around the place'

I smiled

'I would pay to see that' I said.

'You and me both, Squirt'

'CAM, CAM, CAM!' Liz came bursting into the room. 'Karis left the CIA'

'What do you mean?' I asked

'Karis handed her notice in, effective immediately, cleared her desk and left as if she was never there'

'She's running from something' I muttered

'That's not all. She left her work diary'

'How do you know?' Abby asked

'Damian gave it to us' She handed me the pale blue folder. 'He left it amongst the files'

'So?' Abby asked. I began to flick through. There was something in red ink that struck a cord with me.

Researched Agent Cameron Ann Morgan (now Goode) today. She does not seem as impressive as I thought.

Followed by

Passed along information to DK.

Then something that Damian said in his message crept back into my mind.

I must say that the information I have found on her is far greater than what others whisper.

'That bitch!' I exclaimed throwing the book across the room

'What's wrong?' Bex and Macey came into the room

'Karis is most definitely behind all of this' I got out of bed 'We need to find her'

'I thought you wanted to talk to Tina?' Macey said. I bit my lip

'We need to split up then' I announced.

'Hell no!' Bex snapped 'What if you end up in the hospital again, or worse!'

'I know what to do this time! The longer we wait, the further that Karis gets away from us' I turned to Abby 'Please, I can't let her get away'

Abby thought for a moment.

'Fine' She said. 'Miss Sutton and I will visit Miss Walters. Rebecca and Macey will go with you' She stepped closer to me 'Do not leave them, Cameron, is that clear?'

'Crystal' I replied.

...

It took us all of half an hour to pack our bags; we would have been packed in 10 but it took 5 minutes to convince Bex that this was a good idea, 10 minutes for Liz to go through a safety briefing with them in case I end up in pain again, and then 5 minutes for me to go to the bathroom (I kid you not, this baby thinks my bladder is a toy). Once we were on the road it was fine. I was feeling more determined and focused.

'Cam?' Macey's voice pulled me from my train of thoughts.

'Hm?'

'What are we going to do when we find Karis?' She asked

'I know that we need to stop her, I'm sure of that'

'Then what?' Bex joined in. I shrugged

'We find out what she's after and why she came after us'

'If it came to it, hypothetically speaking...would we need to interrogate her?' Bex looked at me through the rearview mirror. I squirmed slightly.

'Demends'

'On what?' Macey asked

'My hormones. Like right now, I could murder a burger right now'

'We better get food quick then' Bex joked 'A hormonal, pregnant and hungry Cam is the worst combination in the world' I chuckled.

'Have you tried phoning, Zach?' Macey asked.

'He's not answering. I don't know if that's because he's busy or because he's doing something and doesn't want me knowing'

'What do you think?' Bex asked. I pondered for a moment.

'The latter' I said 'I think Zach is up to something and won't tell me'

'Are you angry?' Macey wondered.

'No' I shook my head 'Technically that's exactly what I'm doing now. Not telling him where I'm going and what we're going'

'No wonder you and Zach are perfect for each other' Macey rolled her eyes 'Both of you try to out spy the other one'

'It's in our blood, Mace' I sank back further into the comfortable seat 'We're in the family business'

'Will you raise Sean and the baby into the family business?' Bex asked. I stiffened.

'I don't know. Part of me wants to protect them from this world considering what happened to my family and to me'

'But?' They both said

'But part of me can't deny it to them. I mean Sean found a secret passage at Gallagher!'

'Really!' Macey exclaimed

'Aw, my little buddy is just like him mommy!' Bex squealed excitedly

'Exactly!' I replied 'I can't deny him the part of his life that comes so natural to him...the only problem is, once he knows, then he knows….and I don't know how much of the truth I can handle'

'Cammie' Bex began 'It's not a rush to tell him the truth. You and I grew up in this world and were aware if it from day one. Liz didn't find out until school started, and we all know when Macey found out' She looked quickly at Macey who flicked her hair

'What Bex is trying to say, is that there's no rush to tell Sean the whole truth in one go. Look how quickly he believed that Zach was his dad, now they're inseparable!' Macey said

'But you're still his favourite' Bex was quick to add.

'I guess' I sighed 'I just don't want him to grow up….can you believe that over 10 years ago, Zach was dipping me in front of the whole school, and now our son is finding secret passages and baby number two is on the way' I ran my hand over my stomach. The baby kicked lightly under my touch. I want to believe that they were saying hello.

'Picked a name yet?' Macey diverted the conversation

'I have some names in mind' I admitted 'But I don't know the gender'

'It's going to be a girl' Bex said determined

'Enough with your Baxter feeling!' Macey huffed 'It's not a real thing!'

'Oh yeah? Well how do you explain Madrid?' She countered 'I told you that we shouldn't eat in that Thai restaurant, no matter how much you protested. Then look what happened, they found rats in the kitchen'

'That was just dumb luck, Baxter' Macey scowled. 'Your Baxter feeling was wrong in Dubai and we ended up stuck in a sandstorm without even a bottle of water!'

'You were the one who was meant to pack it!'

Both of them began to argue, back and forth about the triumphs and the (many) failures of the Baxter feeling.

'Cammie's gut feeling is more reliable than you!' Macey snapped

'It's the same gut feeling but mine just has a better name' Bex retorted smuggly.

'This is one thing I have not missed about missions with you both' I stretched in my seat 'You two bickering is doing my head in'

Then my phone began to ring.

'Saved by the bell' I muttered. I picked it up. Edward Townsend came up on the caller ID.

'Hi Edward, is everything okay?' I asked. He sighed on the other end of the phone.

'Edward?' I asked. Bex and Macey shared a look at my tone. Bex pulled over.

'Cameron, I don't know how to tell you this…' He began. He sighed again. 'Zach's gone looking for Damian'

'What? Why?'

'He wants to kill him, then this will all be over'

'Edward, it won't be! Damian isn't behind all of this! It's Karis Jones'

'Who?'

'Some bitch I'm about to slap into tomorrow' I gritted my teeth 'Look. You find Zach and stop him, please'

'We're trying to find him. He's disabled the tracker in the car. Jonas is searching'

'Find him before he finds Damian'

I hung up. The car was silent for a moment, then Macey turned to Bex.

'See, her gut feeling is right every time'

Author's not: So Cammie now is certain that Karis is behind all of this and is going to track her down. She also knows that Zach is going to do something stupid. Will she be able to stop him? Also, what do you thik about Sean finding a secret passage? And will he ever grow ip in the spy world? See you all Thursday xxx

ALLY CARTER 4 EVER: I do like the name Morgan, but it won't be their baby's name. She's going to find Karis first and then get to Zach. Hope you enjoy the rest that I've got planned xxx

GallaghergirlsEmbassyrowFan: To be honest, I don't know when this story will end. I'm aiming for 30 chapters, but that might continue further. I'll let you know what I decide. Zach will be in for a lot of surprises when he and Cam meet up again...there will be a bullet wound as well...xxx

GirafeRosie: I always feel bad when I write that Cammie's in pain. There might be another part of this story...I'm planning a lot. Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you love my writing. I have a few stories planned out and all I want to do is just keep writing all day. xxx

Smiles180: Agreed. What do you think about this chapter? xxx
