I was still sitting behind the desk when Grams and my mom came in.
"Cammie, you can take a break now." Grams told me. I got up and Grams sat down.
"Cam, let's go have some lunch." mom said grabbing me. We walked out the door and got in the car.
"Mom are you and Mr. Solomon…uh…going out?" I asked, I was having a hard time spitting out the words. She looked over at me.
"Cammie, we aren't…going out." she said pausing before saying going out. I looked at her, I probably wouldn't be able to tell if she lied to me or not.
"But he likes you, right?" I asked still prodding. I had to know if Dad could come back into both of our lives.
"Well, he's just a good friend." Mom said looking at me again. "What brought all this on?"
"I was just thinking, what if Dad came back? Would you want him to or have you gotten…over him?" I asked my throat feeling like it was being squeezed shut. Mom looked at the road. She was thinking.
"Well…I don't know Cammie. I don't think he's ever coming back, but if he did I would really like to know. I mean I love him. It was hard without him." Mom said and I saw tears fill her eyes. I felt bad for bringing it up.
She quickly wiped the tears away. We went to lunch not talking. When we got there I filled her in on everything we have done. I didn't tell her about Macey's little joke or about Dad. When we got back to the hotel Zach and Macey were waiting.
"Cammie, you can have the rest of the day off." Grams said to me. I told her about the guests who would be arriving around two. She nodded. Then Zach, Macey, and I went off.
"So does your mom know yet?" Zach asked me sitting on the tree that was in the back of the hotel.
"No, I think she will soon though." I told him. Macey was looking at us.
"You mean she doesn't know McKeester is your dad?" Macey looking at her nails. My mouth was wide open. How did she know? She looked at me like she could read my mind.
"Not that hard to figure out. I mean hello, I have seen that picture of your dad and Solomon." Macey said in a 'duh' voice. I nodded. So everyone but Solomon and my Mom knew. I couldn't recognize my own father. Macey could recognize him from a photo. I felt really bad.
"Is my dad going to tell my mom?" I asked them. I wanted their opinion. I mean my dad should tell her, he should tell everyone. That's when they swarmed. The guys in black were coming from all angles. We fought off all we could. Then they had Macey and Zach pinned.
"Cammie, I love you!" I heard Zach shout. No! This could not be happening. What was going to happen to them?
"Zach, I love you too!" I shouted before I was gagged and blind folded. My hands were tied behind my back. I was being carried over someone's shoulder and we were running really fast. Maybe this was a test. I thought, but during summer? I felt sick. Would I ever see Zach again? I hoped so. I had to get out of this. I started kicking with all my strength. I would not be taken, I had just gotten my father back.
Then the running stopped and I was thrown into what I thought was a van. It smelled of tobacco and dirt. The van squealed off and I wondered if Zach and Macey were with me. I was scared, but I was working on trying to get my hands untied. I felt ever time we turned. It took us an hour and a half to get to where ever we went. We took one stop.
All the while I was working on untying my hands. It felt useless, nothing was happening. When we came to a stop they dragged me out of the van and in a building. I could smell the foul smell of it. Dirt, blood, and sweat. I was put into a metal chair and chained with real chains. Then my blindfold was taken off. I looked into the brown eyes of who had taken me. His face was covered so I couldn't see who it was.
"So, you are Cammie Morgan. Mr. Morgan's little girl. The one he wanted to keep alive so badly. Guess, you don't always get what you want." the man said laughing evilly. What did this guy want? Was he one of the guys who captured my father so long ago? Probably.
"First we are going to torture you horribly. Maybe cut off a finger and send it to your father? Or your lover…what was his name? Oh, yes…Zach. We'll send a finger to Zach." he said. No, that would probably kill both of them. What were they doing? Were they looking? If only I could send them a message. The guy came near me, luckily he hadn't chained my feet. I threw one out and caught him right in the nuts.
A/N: Well this chapter certainly took a turn. What did you think? I mean I know it wasn't really goode at all, but don't you want to know what's happening? Now all I have to do is write some more. On another topic, Victoria Laurie this author I know, who I love. Her new book is coming out tomorrow! Yay! It's a new series, a kind of kid/teenager series.
