Chapter 8: A Walk, A Relationship, and A Wait…

Time: 2:47p.m.

Location: Southern Indoor Garden, Blackthorne Institute

P.O.V: Zachary Goode's

I've always come to this garden, ever since I was in 7th grade. I usually liked quiet and peaceful places, like this garden. I know what you're thinking, I'm a spy (an awesome one), and I should be into all that action, you see in James Bond Movies, right? Hey, we (and when I say 'we' I mean 'me') are just regular people who just so happen to, speak 14 different languages (fluently), have genius IQ's (with the exception of Grant of course), and could kill a guy 4 times our size with our bare hands…so we're not normal, so what? This is something not many people know about me. I've always been secretive, it's in the family, but after my parents died, I shut myself down from everyone and well…it just sorta stayed like that. I refused to let anyone in. Let anyone help. Let anyone sympathize. Let anyone try…I usually tried working it out on my own.

HELL! Well, you're sure doing a pretty shitty job with it, after all, it's been nine fucking years, the small voice piped in, bitterly. (Yeesh, my subconscious sure can cuss) Huh, maybe I should try shutting out that annoying voice too now, I thought vaguely. I was looking around the garden, I'm not that into flowers or plants actually, I just come here to take a break from schoolwork and sometimes just to relax for once. This place is the closest place to anything here in Maine for my mask to peel off the fastest. Spies need a break too, (even a great spy like me) cut me some slack. My mind flitted back and forth from my parents and the Chameleon. From what I've read Chameleon's a kind, gentle, polite and caring. But at the same time, she's damn dangerous, fatal, and sneaky. Ever since that damn girl entered my mind, I've been even more messed up and missed a lot of things a Goode spy would've noticed, I thought. I hadn't realized that I voiced…well, muttered my thought until another voice broke the quiet stillness of the garden…a voice I knew well…

I turned around and was astonished (but did I show it? NO, I couldn't even if I tried) to see Mr. Solomon. He was leaning casually on an Apple Tree with his arms crossed, and a foot on the trunk of the tree. The shadows of the branches, leaves, and apples covered most of him, but since it was sunny (this part of the building is sorta like a greenhouse, the roof is made of complete bullet-proof and inflammable glass) now I could still see him clearly. I did all I could do, I smirked and crossed my arms over my chest like him and ask

"What did you just say, sir?" To be honest I didn't catch what he just said, his voice I recognized, but I didn't pay much attention to him. Just another thing, that girl is doing to me, I thought bitterly. But immediately felt a tinge of guilt…it wasn't her fault…I faced Solomon, arms at my side now. He studied me for a bit and then he did the thing that's been annoying lately, he smiled…but this time it was different…it was almost…parental…I shook the thought off for now, thinking, wait no!…knowing it was too weird to go into right now. But even though it was weird, it didn't make it any less annoying…

"I said, 'You're wrong, Mr. Goode, actually, Chameleon's someone who usually helps with problems, she's just that kind of person' now, here's my question; What are you doing here, because I'm pretty sure boys now a days don't garden?"

Something in the way he asked actually…sounded curious…I felt my smirk becoming more pronounced now, Huh, I was great enough to have Joe Solomon asking me questions, not that I'm surprised, I thought. That's when I realized what he was saying, Chameleon's just that kind of person…I internally groaned, Why does she have to be so interesting?

"Well, sir, you never know me, maybe I like to garden," I said, my smirk in place, not giving him a straight answer, instead of an irritated answer (like I was expecting) Mr. Solomon laughed…what's with his sudden happiness?

"You are just like Michael, you got your secretive behavior from him. You got your some of that sense of humor from Sarah," He said. At this I couldn't help but give a small smile, I've always wanted to be like my mom and dad, they were the best after all. I had to say, it was nice to have someone to talk to about my parents without becoming an awkward situation. Trust me, I've tried it with Grant and Jonas…three words…VERY. AWKWARD. SILENCE…no further comment…I surprised myself and apparently Solomon with the next words that slipped out of my mouth,

"Thanks, sir," Mr. Solomon blinked, which was enough for me to know that he was shocked. He recovered very quickly though, so fast that I would've thought it was just my imagination that I saw it…but that's wrong…I see everything.

Mr. Solomon smiled, that parental smile again…and the words spoke by him next REALLY shocked me…I mean, if you put me in an electric chair in a huge thunderstorm it STILL would've been less shocking…

"Your Welcome Zach, and call me Joe when school's out," I just stared at him…I noticed many things…

1. He said "Your Welcome" and actually sounded like he meant it

2. He called me Zach, instead of Mr. Goode

3. He told me to call him by his first name

I could go on, but those three things were enough to blow my mind (like usual, it didn't show on my face) I decided that I might as well call him Joe, I mean, he's calling me Zach now. I nodded. The next thing I know, we're talking about my parents. I was telling him about how they were when they were home. My dad and I loved sports and usually watched NFL. My mom said that we should watch more "feminine" shows on TV so she took out a DVD of "The Notebook" I fell asleep during the middle of it, when I woke up, my dad was crying with my mom on the couch…I lost some respect for my father after that…anyways… Mr. Sol---I mean, uh, Joe was telling me about how they (or should I say 'dad' even though my mom's a great spy, I don't think she'd be allowed in Blackthorne Institute for Intelligent Young MEN) were in school. He told me about I acted just like my dad, the only difference was that I was even MORE secretive. He even quoted, "I didn't think it was possible until I saw how YOU acted, Zach" He told me I got the "pointing at myself and saying 'spy' from dad and that my brand of humor is the same as mom and that I got my love of junk food from her too. I laughed at that. I remembered that Mom LOVED chocolate and always kept it somewhere in the house, I thought she'd go nuts if she didn't get those M&M's. She loved the ones with peanuts the best though, even when she was in high school…a Gallagher Girl who loves peanut M&M's…Chameleon popped up in my mind…

"Hey, uh, Joe (I'm STILL not used to calling him that, yet!)" He looked at me.

"How do you know the Chameleon so well, I mean, other than being her teacher?" He blinked when I mentioned the 'teacher' part, why? I continued… "And also in the file it never mentioned her name," I added. I still was curious, WHAT THE HELL WAS HER NAME?! Joe was smiling but it was more of a smug look, but don't confuse it with a smirk, and trust me when it comes to smirks.

"That's just like her," He muttered as he shook his head. I gave him the universal "what the fuck are you talking about?" look.

"I told her that she could only help you boys if she took out the part about me in her file," he began. "but apparently she switched it up and made it so her first name isn't mention in the file instead of my name, correct?" He finished, I nodded. I could tell Mr. So-JOE (DAMN IT!) wasn't completely happy about this, but even a civilian could tell that he was proud and impressed by her skills. Which is another thing, why is he proud? I understand the student-teacher relationship thing but…

"So…ya gonna tell me?" I asked, he knew exactly what I was referring to…HER NAME~! He shrugged and denied.

"And why not?" I was getting exasperated now.

"Because, if she took her name out of those files and reports, then she obviously doesn't want anyone to know her name, so I'm not telling," He explained.

"And why do you care about that?" I questioned. This is started to REALLY get on my nerves. Joe (ha~! I'm finally used to it) got up from where he was sitting in the grass. He brushed off any dirt or dust that was on his clean dress pants and began walking away…when he got to the door leading back to the building he stopped, and turned his head slightly so I saw only half of his face. To anyone else, he might've looked cool and awesome, but to me, all he looked like was a spy…and a pretty damn good one…

"I care because, what kind of godfather would I be if I revealed ALL my goddaughter's secrets?" He said. He left after that sentence, if his complete back was turned then, I'd probably think we was bluffing…but he turned enough for me to see that his eyes' weren't dilated. His voice was clear, confident, as usual. And his heart rate was normal. It's either Joe Solomon is an even better spy than I first thought he was or he was telling me the truth…I had the feeling it was both…Well, I uncovered another missing piece of the 'Chameleon' puzzle…her relationship between her and Joe "Wise Guy" Solomon.

Once I got back to my room I told Grant and Jonas about my little "discovery" of how Joe and the Chameleon know about each other…Grant was in shocked for exactly 12 minutes and 18 seconds. While Jonas was shocked for 12 minutes and 21 seconds…I knew exactly how they felt.

Time: 6:55p.m.

Location: Dining Hall of Blackthorne Institute

P.O.V: Joe Solomon: (A/N: Didn't think I'd make one, did you? ;P)

I was seated at the teacher's table in the Dining Hall, I sit right next to Dr. Sanders, who would like to be called 'Dr. Steve' I really didn't get the man, but he's my boss. He always overuses the word "excellent" that's how he's similar Mr. Burns on The Simpsons…(I watched that with Cammie when she was younger…tell anyone this and I'll kill you, revive you and then kill you again) (A/N: uh-oh…he's gonna kill me~! LoL) Speaking of her…I'm still wondering why that girl doesn't want Mr. Newman, Mr. North, or Mr. Goode to know her name…she may be my goddaughter but she's a teenager, a girl, and a highly-trained spy. Sometimes, I think that those three variables put together can really be confusing/torturous/dangerous. I will most likely not understand her for a very long time. I inwardly sighed. I really missed Cam, the last time I saw her face-to-face was when I substitute taught at Gallagher last week (I don't know the CoveOps teacher there, but Cam said that she's very good). I like to pretend that she's my real daughter, but I knew that no one could replace Chris, no one. I wasn't trying to though, I'm more of an…uncle, I suppose. And also, I am NOT interested in Rachel Morgan, she's like a younger sister to me, and I would never be with someone that my best friend loved. EVER.

Dinner was being served, today we were speaking in Russian while eating filet mignon. I looked up from eating to see that all of the boys at the juniors' table were sneaking glances at me, I was usually used to that at Gallagher when I substitute taught, many of the girls there stare or sneak glances at me. But I never dreamed it would happen here…Mr. Williams, Mr. Rodriquez, Mr. Takahashi, Mr. Jacobson, Mr. Sharma, Mr. Lopez, and even Mr. Newman and Mr. North. Mr. Goode was not though, but was simply eating his gourmet meal. I understood immediately…Zach told them…

I began chuckling softly and all the boys started murmuring and looked away. Not very covertly. I was able to snag a few sentences from their conversations…

"So, it's really true, Chameleon's godfather is Solomon?!" whispered (in Russian, of course.) a frantic-looking Mr. Sharma,

"Damn…there goes any chance of us dating her…" said Mr. Lopez. He's got that right.

"What do you mean? Why can't we--" Mr. Rodriguez, let's just say, the slightly slower junior of his class.

"RETARD, like hell, will we be able to get close to her if Solomon's always around," Mr. Williams explained.

"How do you know you'll meet her?" Zach asked, most of the boys glared at him, but didn't deny it…I guess the junior class wants to meet the pavement artist, I thought smugly…well…all they have to do is wait…

Did you guys like Zach-y's and Joey's moment in the beginning? I felt the need to make it clear that Zach and Joe are now on good terms with each other~!
