Bex's POV
I was with my friend and classmates in sublevel three waiting for the assignment that Abby said she was going to give us. Now that she is our new Cov Ops teacher.
"ok students here's what you are going to do today: you guys are going out into town as normal high school kids having fun out in town. I want you to tail somebody, anybody and blend in with the crowd."
It was an easy task but I knew that tailing someone was an everyday thing in the spy world. Still, we have to make sure that it's flawless. We walked to the door. And it surprised me when Abby opened the door so that Cammie could go out. Considering the fact that last time Joe wouldn't even let her near the door. I asked Abby straightforward.
"Last time we went out Mr. Solomon didn't allow Cammie to go out, Why now?"
She didn't explain much "she's safer." that's all she said. Even though I was clueless on what was going on I still got excited at the whole 'Cammie's safe' thing. Something big happened; something huge I thought as I stepped out of the school. The moment we hit town we all split off. It wasn't hard looking for a subject. There was a parade in Roseville. I'm not joking when five minutes after the crowd pushed me in I heard Josh.
"hey look there's Cammie. Let's go say hi."
He was going after her while she was a middle of tailing a man with Zach. But Dillon was trying to convince him out of it. "I don't think that's a good idea." he's right it isn't especially when we are in the middle of a COv Ops exercise. "And it's been two years man I know you she not interested." I took the liberty of approaching them. "Hey guys!"
"hey look say hi to her first." Dillon stopped him.
Josh said "hi." but he was distracted looking at Cammie.
"he should to stay away from Cammie.." I say
"I know it's pathetic. Help." "sure." I tap Josh's Shoulder and ask "is seeing Cammie a good idea. I mean she's with someone else. If you don't remember he's the same guy you see her with every Time we go to town. I hate to break it to you but you'd just be embarrassing yourself." I felt crushed when Josh said "your right." Annie walks towards us. "oh my god Bex! Hi!"
"Hi! how are you?"
"Fine!" She yelled over the crowd. "I haven't seen you in a long time"
As Annie yelled that I saw Liz in the corner of my vision staring at her and then looked forward with that 'I'm not supposed to know you face'. It's a tell tale that Liz knew Annie. There behind Annie and Dillon I saw a suspicious brown eyed blonde walking who caught my attention.(I've been pretty stingy with details lately I think but I just want to let you know that the brown eyed blonde is Michael, Grant's friend) I said my good bye and left. After ten minutes of tailing him around town he started conversing with a man. But not just any man; the man who drugged Cammie at that party in Junior year. (Don't Judge a Girl By Her Cover)What they be talking about? I tried to get closer to see if I could hear anything but I got caught. He smiled at me shook his head in a way that insisted me not to eavesdrop. Which made me wonder again what would they be talking about?
Grant's POV
It was the day after I blew up Blackthorn and I was strolling my way in. And I was feeling jittery like if something wrong would happen. When Jezebel leaps from her chair and excitedly yells
"Grant! Grant yesterday you were a big success. No bigger, what's bigger than big?" I went along with her emotions
"Huge." I answered her" Yeah and good morning to you too."
"Bigger." she demanded. "this is bigger than huge."
I let out an exasperated sigh. "Get to the point."
"this is so this." she said again. "After you took on the hundred agents. Everything went down. There was panic people thought there were traitors and started getting rid of on another around the wordl. Some even crawled back to their old agencies and those people you brought back. To sum it up out of thousands of Circle of Cavan Agents there are only two hundred agents left. You are like a hero. And to others a villain."
Pride washed over me " Now we might end the covert war.
Next thing I know, Out of nowhere Joe arrives telling me "Another legend. you've made history boy." then he snatches his journal the one I forgot that was in my hand. A pair of CIA agents followed saying
"Grant Hale you are under arrest. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law." Subconsciously I started to resist arrest. But I didn't care and screamed "What are the Goddamned charges?"
"betrayal, fighting with the Circle of Cavan. You should know better" They began to take me away and I started to laugh. I remember the promises I made to myself: not dying, then I shot by a bullet and not get sent to jail; I'm getting arrested right now yet ironically all the things I wish wouldn't happen did happen. Oh and tomorrow... Haha Yeah Tomorrow it's that whole attempt to kill Cammie but how's that going to happen if I am locked up in the slammer. And if I don't get bailed out I won't see Bex again. What I have gotten myself into?
I end this chapter with questions to make you think about what will happen. Its a Short chapter but next chapter is gonna be Good
