Dislcaimer: all rights go to Ally Carter

Zach's POV

I woke up to someone rustling around outside. Then I heard a lock unlocking, silently I slipped out of bed. I woke up Grant and Jonas, and together we slipped out of our room. Down the hall I saw the outline of a man, by Dr. Steve's office. Quickly and silently we move down the hall.

When we get there, I notice Mr. Soloman by the door. He sees us and nods; he goes in first with the 3 of us close behind. Once inside, I notice the man at Dr. Steve's computer. I wonder what he's doing there? I thought.

All of a sudden Jonas' eyes get really big. I bet he's figured out what the guy is doing. Then the man saw us, and bolted out the back door, grabbing a disc on the way out. Frantically, Jonas squeaked out that the man had the alumni disc. Great. I thought. Soon the 4 of us were racing after him; he was heading toward the hall of fame. I wonder why he's going that way. There's no door back here. I thought.

When we got to the hall I saw the man speed up, then dive straight for the wall. Then all of a sudden I notice a person who looks just like Cammie start running towards the wall too. What is with all the people running towards walls? I thought. How'd she get here anyway and more importantly how'd she get into Blackthorn.

But man, did she look amazing. Obviously she forgot she was in her PJs, and boy did they show off her legs. But back to more important things. She suddenly disappeared too, into the wall. That's when the code black finally decided to start up.

When we got to the place where the 2 disappeared, there was no trace to where they could've gone. But then Grant saw a piece of paper on the ground, because he was the only one who thought the ground was a good place to lie down and go back to sleep. DURRING A CODE BLACK! But, the paper was from Cammie saying to flip the painting. Seriously, how could she write a note while running like that, she just truly is amazing.

So, while trying to figure out which painting to flip, Jonas leans on one of an old headmaster, from like 57 years ago. And behind it is a secret passage way. Wow, luck must really be on our side tonight. I thought. Soon the 4 of us are racing down the passage, toward the sound of someone fighting. The thought of Cammie being in trouble, just made me run faster.

When we got to the end of the passage, I saw Cammie sitting on top of the guy, instantly we all stopped. I looked down her in awe that she could take this guy down and not even get a scratch to her beautiful body.

"Hi. Nice to see you boys again." She said, smiling up at us. I kinda gave her some sorta half wave thing. Way to be cool Zach. I thought. I noticed Mr. Soloman had a big smile on his face, with what looked like pride. Why would he be proud of her, I mean she did just take down this big guy, but still…?

"Are any of you guys going to help me with him?" Cammie asked, nodding down towards the man. Suddenly all 3 of us boys hurried forward to help. But unfortunately, all of us moving together made us collide into one big train wreck. While picking ourselves up off the ground, I heard her musical laugh fill the air in the passage way.

"Glad to know we cause you amusement" I said to her. She just rolled her gorgeous blue eyes at me, picking the man up off the ground. Mr. Soloman quickly moved forwards and searched the man for alumni disc. Finding it, Mr. Soloman put it in his back pocket. After tying the man's hands, Mr. Soloman roughly shoved the guy to Grant and Jonas.

Then he did the weirdest thing I've ever seen him do, and I've seen so pretty weird stuff, he gave Cammie a big hug. And what's even weirder, she was hugging him back.

"How you been Joe?" she asked. Wait Joe?

"Good. How bout you tell me why your here" Yeah, that's a good idea.

"What? No, how are you's or it's good to see ya's" she said playfully.

"Cam."

"Fine, have it your way. I snuck out of Gallagher and this was the first place I could think of coming. Plus you said I was welcome anytime." What is going on between these 2?

"I did say that, yes. But I figured you tell someone first. Your mother called me frantic because you were missing."

"Yeah, well this wasn't something she'd understand." Cam said a little sad.

"Are you sure? From experience I can say your mom can be very understanding." Mr. Soloman said, but Cammie just nodded her head.

"OK. Well what about your roommates, could you have talked to them or at least told them you were coming. According to your mom they nearly tore the school apart looking for you."

"I'm sure. This was something only he would understand." What? Who he?

"Ohh. Well we're lucky you stopped by or else he would have escaped with the alumni disc." Mr. Soloman said signaling toward the guy Grant and Jonas were still holding.

"Well, I should probably go call your mother and tell her you're alright and with me. The sooner the better or else this is probably the 2nd place your friends will come looking for you. And I think Dr. Steve would like to keep this school intact for as long as possible." At the thought of her friends tearing the school apart Cammie laughed her amazing laugh.

"You should do that. Bex has probably already gotten Liz to commandeer a helicopter here." She said returning to her old self again. Grabbing the guy, Mr. Soloman moved back up the passage, leaving us with Cammie.

"Hey guys" Cammie said again.

"Hey Gallagher Girl" I said with a smirk.

"Hey" Grant said.

"Hi" Jonas said.

"So…What's going on with you and 'Joe'?" I asked her. I was curious about how they got to be so close.

"Maybe you should ask him" Cammie replied rolling her eyes and walking off in the direction Joe went.

I wonder what I did to her. I thought, walking after her with Grant and Jonas close behind me. When we got out of the passage way. I noticed Cammie back down at the end of the hall where she was before she went into the passage. I started walking toward her, when behind me I heard the doors burst open. Turning around I saw 3 girls storming into the foyer, looking all around.

"So this is what it looks like" I heard Macey say, looking around her in slight interest.

I noticed Grant and Jonas staring at Bex and Liz like it's been ages since we last saw them, which I guess if it was Cam I would've stared too.

"WHAT are you guys doing here?" I heard Cammie yell from behind me.

"Oh thank goodness. You're here." Bex said from the door. "We were worried sick. Liz here had to steal a helicopter from Gallagher to get us here"

"I warned Joe, but I guess he wasn't fast enough" Cammie said hugging them. "I'm so glad you're finally here. Now you can meet him too." Who is this guy?

"I'm afraid that's going to have to wait till later Cammie, your mother would like to speak to the 4 of you. If you would follow me" Mr. Soloman said, leading the girls to Dr. Steve's office. I wonder how Mrs. Morgan got here so fast and what she wants.
