My heart started racing and I made Princess go faster. I wanted to see him. When I got closer I could see the little light shining from inside the tent. I quickly dismounted Princess and tied her to a tree. I ran to the tent and I wasn't sure if I should knock or not. I hadn't seen him in forever, would he want me to just go in. The choice was made for me because he stepped out of the tent. It felt good knowing that I knew where he was.

"Cammie, I knew you would know." McKeester aka my dad said to me. Then he pulled me into a big hug.

"Dad." I said tears filling my eyes. I was glad to have him back. We stood there in a hug for a while, then he took me inside his tent.

"So, I am guessing you have some questions." Dad stated getting comfortable. I nodded, there was thousands of questions swarming in my head.

"Where were you?" I blurted out, unable to stop myself. That was what I really wanted to know.

"Well, I went on that mission and as you know I didn't come home. See I was right in the middle, I couldn't contact anyone. You see, they were on to me. I was playing a role of one of their trusted friends. They began suspecting me so I had to terminate all contact. The farther we went along the more they were figuring out that I wasn't one of theirs. I was making a break for it when they got me." Dad said looking at me.

"That was the last radio contact you had." I whispered looking at him. I remembered hearing about that. I was sad for all the things my dad had to go through to get back. I made a keep going motion with my hand.

"So, when I got captured they took me and asked me questions. When I wouldn't answer they would torture me. They searched me and my stuff. That's when they found a picture of us. I was stupid to have had it on me, but I would miss you and your mom when I was missions. Solomon urged me not to take it, I did. He got out before I did."

"He told me he'd come back. But the guys moved around. So he never found me. I had to stay. They were going to find you and torture you guys. So one night after about a couple of years, I was wondering how I had not been killed. They hadn't moved since they moved after they found me. Well anyways, I had been working on loosening the ropes. So that night, I got the picture of you guys and made my way home." my dad said.

"Solomon? You mean Mr. Solomon? Joe Solomon?" I asked dad, I knew that they were old friends but, I had know idea he was with my dad on that mission.

"Yeah, how do you know him?" Dad asked me with a questioning look. I smiled sheepishly.

"He works at Gallagher. He's the CoveOps teacher." I told my dad. Dad's eyebrows shot up.

"How is school?" he asked me. I shrugged. It was so good, especially since I learned about Blackthorne, but I didn't say that.

"It's pretty good, mom's headmistress." I informed dad. Then his eyebrows really shot up.

"Really, Rachel works there?" Dad asked me. I nodded.

"So she hired Joe? I bet he's a good teacher." Dad said before I could answer his question.

"It's late dad, if I don't get back soon Zach's going to start worrying. You should come too." I said to him.

"Cammie, I can't. I'm supposed to be dead. What will your Grandparents think? And your mother, how would she react? She's probably already moved on." Dad said and my heart grew heavy. My throat started to squeeze shut. Tears filled my eyes.

"I don't think she has. I'll ask her for you. I'm sure Grams and Gramps will take it fine." I said trying not to let the tears fall. He squeezed me tightly.

"I love you Cammie, I'm not going away again. You should do that, make sure you don't tell anyone about me. Not even Zack. Oh, and we're going to have a talk about him later." Dad told me with a look that said I mean business. I nodded.

"Fine, but I'll come back. Why don't you go stay in your hotel room thing." I told him giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"I will." he said giving me a kiss on the top of my head. I mounted Princess and rode back to the barn. I put her away and went back home. I slipped inside and went to bed. I was relieved to see Zach hadn't noticed I was gone.

A/N: You guys were right, he is Cammie's dad. So, what did you think? Was it goode or bad? Lol, goode. Well anyways, I was wondering how long was Cammie's dad missing? I don't know that. Or do you guys know Cam's dad's first name? I don't I'll just make one up if nobody knows. Well thanks for reading. Please review! I'm dying to know what you think. :D
