I am so very, very sorry for the long update time! Please don't hate me *Agent Striker bows her head then gives her very best puppy eyes *, I had a writer's block on my other story and I was so mad that I didn't even want to think about fan fiction. Excuses, I know but that's life! I'm going to try to only have one character narrate each chapter; I think it'll be less confusing. Shall we get on with the story?
Cammie's POV:
The first words out of Bex's mouth as soon as the truck started toward our destination were, "I can't believe that was Grant!"
She looked so excited that I couldn't help but smile, "Yea, it was totally unexpected."
Before Bex could reply, Alex interrupted, "Wait, you two knew the guy at the café?"
I nodded, "We met him last year…"
"Where?" Alex wanted to know.
"At a school exchange." Bex said vaguely.
"What kind of school do you go to where the students spend their winter break in Paris, giving other students information on where they're going on a trip around the world to avoid some terrorists?"
I looked at Bex, she looked at me. My unasked question was easy enough to guess, Can we trust him?
Bex shrugged. I looked closely at the boy sitting across from me in the back of the truck. I sighed, "A school for spies."
Gallagher Girls-Alex Rider-Gallagher Girls-Alex Rider
It took me an hour to tell the entire story and all in all, Alex is a pretty good spy. He didn't seem super surprised at what I said. I told him most everything about what had happened in the past semesters, leaving out Zach and I's…relationship. He really didn't need to know that.
"They really have schools for spies?" Alex said in awe, "That's pretty radical."
I shrugged, "We think so." I picked up the envelope that Grant had left us, signaling an end to the conversation. Bex had been quite for some time and I wasn't surprised to see her asleep.
Shaking my head with a smile, I opened the envelope and examined the contents. There was a tourist map marked with different sights, Atomium, The Cathedral of Saint Michel, Manneken Pis, Petite Rue des Bouchers, Rue des Bouchers, and the Grand' Place. I picked up the typed sheet of paper next. It was directions on what we were supposed to do after we got to Brussels. I started to read the paper when suddenly the truck hit some sort of bump. A really big bump. So big that when we hit it all thee of went flying…Bex almost fell out the slide and I landed right on top of…you guessed it, Alex Rider. Can you saw AWKWARD? "Sorry," I muttered as I extracted myself form the position…my cheeks we flaming, why am I blushing?
I turned toward the sound of the drivers getting out of the truck, conversing in perfect Dutch, "What happened?"
"I think that bump hit must have damaged the tire."
I could hear them talking quietly as I turned to my companions, something just didn't feel right; "Pack up the papers and get ready to abandon ship."
"What?" Alex asked, "Why?"
"Something just doesn't seem right…Trust me." Bex handed the papers to me and I stuck them into my pocket.
A few seconds later the first shot rang out. I heard the crash of a body then another short and the man screamed in English, "Run!"
But we were already half way out the side of the truck. I heard a woman scream out in English, "Search the truck! Find them!"
"Run!" Alex hissed.
I nodded and took off as fast as possible. We ran and suddenly I realized that this was just like my dream. The road was dirt with trees thickly lining both sides. I could hear people behind us, shooting and I heard a shot. I looked up as a bright light almost blinded me, but instead of seeing a bright moon, I saw a helicopter with a huge spot light. A bullet hit on the ground right behind me, sending me sprawling into the dirt. Suddenly I heard the howl of pain. I started to get up, but someone grabbed my arm and yanked me into a running start. I looked over at Alex, then behind me. Laying in the middle of the road was Bex! "We have to go back!" I screamed.
"No, we can't."Alex said as he held my arm tighter.
"BEX!" I screamed over my shoulder.
"Run Cam! I'll be fine! GO!"She was now standing up.
That was the last I saw of Bex before Alex pulled me toward the thick woods. Bex, I thought as we ran as though we were running for our lives, which in every sense we were, I'm so sorry, I'm the worst friend ever. If anything happens to you…
I didn't look back again and as we wove our way deeper into the forests of Belgium, one tear ran down my cheek.
