The Answer

"Fine," I answered. Yes, that was the hard way: agreeing.

"First question," He said, "Where is Zach?"

"He's looking for me," I answered. "And if you dare call him, you will die in your sleep."

"Don't worry I won't," He assured me. "Why is he looking for you?"

"Why do you think, Grant?"

"Because you ran away."

"Next question?" I asked.

Grant looked at me desperation in his eyes. That's when I realized Grant cared about Zach too; he didn't like being out of the loop as much as I did.

"What happened?" Grant asked.

So I told the story; everything that happened after sophomore year. Joe Solomon would be proud.

Grant nodded every once in a while to show he was listening but other than that he starred at the ground. I honestly started to cry by the end of the story. When did I start crying? I guess it was when I told him about writing the letters.

Grant came over and gave me a hug while I finished the story.

"So you need supplies?" Grant asked. When I calmed down he moved away but kept a hand on my shoulder to show me he was there. He was starting to get up.

"Wait," I said, "I have a few questions of my own."

"And those would be…" He asked.

"When did you find out about Zach's mom? Are your parent's part of the Circle of Cavern?"

"Um, Okay. I found out freshmen year when she came to visit Zach and she had the ring on. My parents are not part of the circle."

"What side was Zach on when he came to Gallagher?" I whispered.

"Neither," Grant easily answered. "He didn't really know what side to be on. He didn't understand which side was right and which side was wrong. He knew he was bad, just his connection to his mom made him that, but when he met you I could feel that he wanted to be good."

I smiled. "Grant?" I asked one more time.

"Yeah?"

"Can I get those supplies now?"

"Sure, what exactly do you need?"

"Comms unit, knives, a large rope, and duct tape."

"Coming right up."

Once I got the materials, I started to walk toward the door but Grant grabbed my arm and turned me around.

"Cammie?" He asked.

"Yea?" I asked.

"If you need anything, just call." He told me, "Okay?"

"Will do," I smiled. I turned back around and walked towards the front door.

Then I looked out the window.
