I love all you guys! And I love the readers who didn't review! But I really wish you would review because it's all I get for writing these stories!
And I'm sorry about not updating…my excuses: 1. I want to finish one of my other stories before 2011. 2. Math Test (I studied and I'm pretty sure I got less than a 70…I HATE MATH! ALGEBRA SUCKS!)
Cammie's POV:
I was flying…..then falling…and bouncing of the hard ground. And it was cold to. I felt a tremor starting at my elbow and there was a loud voice talking…who was it? Cammie…CAMMIE!
I jerked up and almost hit Alex in the face. What the…Suddenly the last few hours came back to me. Leaving the café, walking to and scouting out the meeting place and then the twenty-five-ish minutes to a park where we had settled down for the remaining two hours for a short nap. We had agreed on taking an hour nap and then an hour shift.
"Sorry, you scared me…you can try and get some sleep now."
He shook his head, bouncing his slightly curly hair, "No we have to go or we won't make the meeting."
I glanced at my wrist watch, 11:30 PM, "I thought you were going to wake me up." I said as I stood up and grabbed my back pack.
He shrugged as we started out of the park in the direction on the Wall, "You didn't wake me up when we were driving to Paris so I was just returning the favor."
I smiled; the sleep had really felt good, "Thanks."
And Alex just gave a cute little grin.
We walked at a pretty brisk pace and arrived at the Wall at 11:55. I stood on my tiptoes and whispered to Alex, "Well now what?"
He shrugged, "We find a good place to wait and see who comes out to play."
In the dark I hoped he couldn't see my smile, Nice job Rider, you just passed another test.

About four and a half minutes later the sound of approaching footsteps alerted me to the fact the fact that someone was approaching. He seemed to appear out of nowhere, the lonely lamp post glowing behind his back helped the shadows cover his face. He stopped, so either he hadn't seen us or he was waiting for us to come out.
"Is that him?" Alex breathed in my ear.
"I can't see-" I started to say but then the figure shifted his weight and I saw his face. "Zach," I gasped, my heart skipping beat, then speeding up.
I stepped out of the shadows, leaving my bag on the ground where it was sitting and that's when the first shot rang out.
The end….of this chapter! LLC, so have you guys heard about the next Heist Society book? It's called Uncommon Criminals…I like the Gallagher Girls MUCH better but I'm going to get the book! Anyway, REVIEW PLEASE!

Instantly I hit the pavement, and rolled off the sidewalk and into the gutter. My heart sped up again but it was for a totally different reason.
Alex's POV:
Cammie didn't actually answer my question about knowing the guy but since she knew his name I guessed she knew him too. She stepped forward and the when the first shot rang out and she hit the ground and for a second I thought she'd been hit…this Zach guy must have thought so too because I heard a sharp intake of breath. But then she rolled toward the street and we both breathed a sigh of relief. By then I had grabbed both of our bags and was moving toward the area of shadows where he had disappeared.
I cautiously made my in the shadows, the gun fire had stopped but I had this feeling that the shooter hadn't just given up. I was just about to the spot where Zach had disappeared when an arm shot out in front of me. I moved just enough that it didn't get its target but it grabbed my forearm and hissed, "Drop the bags."
"Zach?" His arm tightened.
"Drop the bags." He hissed again.
"I'm with Cammie." I hissed in return.
"Prove it."
"How?" I mean what was I going to do, yell to Cammie and tell her to get this psychopath off of me?
"Who am I replacing?"
"What?"
The arm tightened even more, "Who. Was. I. Sent. Here. To. Replace."
Oh man, you're losing your touch Rider, "Bex Baxter."
The arm loosened, slightly but it was a start, "Correct answer…So you must be Rider."
"That's me."
Before he could reply another voice joined our whispered conversation, "I hate to interrupt this male-bonding-session but we are kind of pinned down here by one or more snipers…"
"Good to see you too Gallagher Girl, it's been-" The end of his comment was drowned out by another round of bullets.
I guess this kind of snapped Zach out of his flirting, "Cam," he said in a low whisper, "Roll across the road. Rider will throw the bags and you grab them and find a good place to hunker down for a few minutes."
There was a grunt of agreement then nothing. A few seconds later I threw our two bags toward the darkest shadow where Cammie probably was. Zach followed suit.
He leaned closer and said in an almost inaudible tone, "I'm going to cross the street in that shadow," He paused and pointed, "And find Cammie. You give me five minutes then you follow. We'll find you."
I nodded and just like that he was gone. I could hardly discern him from the shadows and I found myself thinking that he was very good at what he does.
Five very long minutes later I too made my across the street. It was cold and dead quite. I made it across the street and stood for a moment, trying to make out anything in the darkness. Two figures seemingly materialized from the dark and the short one grabbed my arm, handed me my back pack and started to pull me down the street.
As we went I couldn't help be wonder what was in store for the next leg of the journey.
This is the real ending! I hoped you like it, please review!
