The Chase: Baxter/Goode/Morgan

"Well, I may have just activated your trackers," I heard a voice say that sounded very familiar. And I guess I was right, because Macey gasped and mouthed two words:

"Joe Solomon."

-Baxter

"We have trackers?" I asked.

In front of me was one of the bravest men I've ever known. Joe Solomon was here and I couldn't believe it. Mr. Solomon looked sleep deprived and over stressed. I guess being in a coma does that to you.

All Mr. Solomon did was nod and walk away. It took me awhile, but I finally noticed the comms unit in his ear. He must've been on it with us.

As soon as Solomon left, I started looking around again.

"Why don't we split up?" Liz asked.

I mentally cursed at myself for not thinking of that. I was off my game. I nodded and walked in the opposite direction.

That's when I saw her. She had dark, red hair (Probably a wig) and her normal blue eyes (But with fake glasses). She had a white T-shirt on with denim shorts and black converses with a plain black backpack on her back. How did I know it was her? I guess you could say, I just could tell, plus she was tailing a man. Not most teenage girls tail men 10 years older than them.

"I have Eyeball," I said.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Zach jump and ask, "Where?"

I could tell Cammie was being stupid. She didn't even realize she had people on her tail. She wasn't even doing any counter surveillance (Although, the man she was tailing was).

"She just walked into the store on the corner," I answered. I didn't dare follow her in. If Cammie saw me, she'd make a scene.

"Red hair? Glasses?" Macey asked. I wasn't particularly happy with Macey. Out of nowhere Macey decides she wants to leave. Then she STILL has the nerve to stay.

"Yup," I answered.

I saw the Circle guy walk past the store. 10 seconds later Cammie also walked out, this time with a hat on.

"Oopsie Daisy," I heard through my comms unit. I heard Zach mutter a curse word in Farsi. Farsi seems to be his thing. I didn't know where Liz was, but I'm sure she probably just tripped on a flat surface.

-Morgan

I followed him down the street keeping my distance. He used many (And I mean many) counter surveillance technics.

Luckily, he still didn't see me.

Sadly, I didn't know somebody else did

I watched the man walk in and out of stores keeping my distance. I stopped and looked around. I felt…tingly? Something wasn't right, that was for sure. The man stopped. I walked past him. Somehow, I knew stopping right when he stopped would be a little suspicious, don't you think? I walked into a store on the corner and looked around, waiting for the man to pass. When I saw him walk pass, I bought a hat so it wouldn't look obvious that I was following him.

When I got outside, I looked around. He couldn't have gone far.

Something still wasn't right I could feel eyes on me. I could feel someone watching me.

For a spy, that's never a good thing.

I listened for anything unusual while still looking for the Circle agent.

"Oopsie Daisy," I heard someone say. I looked around and saw Liz on the floor, she seemed to have run into someone and then fell. Liz met my gaze and gave me a small smile.

It all mas sense now, the tingly feeling, that someone's watching me, it all made sense.

Bex, Liz, Macey, Zach and maybe Grant were here.

They were tailing me.

And I had no clue!

I looked around, looking for the rest of them and keeping an eye out for the Circle agent.

I found myself looking into the eyes of Zachary Goode, himself. Macey was standing next to him, staring at me. They were across the street.

Zach saw my eyes go wide.

Zach didn't see the Circle agent behind him.

-Goode

Immediately, after Bex said she saw Cammie, I couldn't stop looking for her. I still couldn't see her when I heard Liz say "Oopsie Daisy."

I cussed in Farsi, Liz blew our cover.

I looked around for Liz but my eyes landed on a girl with red hair and glasses. Someone you wouldn't look twice at. That's how I knew it was her. It was Cammie

Cammie froze and looked around, her eyes landed on Liz. Realization hit her eyes, as she realized she had tails. The Circle agent that I saw her tailing was nowhere to be seen, but I didn't care at that moment, Cammie was here. Cammie met my gaze and her eyes widened.

I felt a tug on my shoulder and turned around to see a police officer.

Except, 5 minutes ago, he was wearing suit.

Except, 5 minutes ago, he was the Circle agent Cammie was tailing.

I felt Cammie freeze behind me.

"Sir, could you come with me?" Circle Dude asked.

"Is there a problem, officer?" Macey asked.

"Yes, this boy is a known criminal. He's got to come down to the station."

Lie.

I didn't do anything.

Stupid Mother.

I was sure my mother sent him to get me. Why? I wouldn't know. My guess? Cammie's location, which, I didn't find out until just recently.

"But-" Macey started.

"But nothing, mam. The young man needs to come with me for questioning," Circle Dude replied.

The (fake) cop was reaching out for my wrist.

Which was now occupying a hand.

"Sorry, Sir but I think you must be mistaken." I heard Cammie's voice. Cammie was here. Cammie was next to me. Cammie was going to get herself killed!

"I am not," Circle Man said angrily, "This man committed a burglary last week. Now if you will come-"

"But Sir, he's been with me all week," Cammie smiled sweetly.

"No, he hasn't. Can you tell me where he was last?" Circle Dude asked.

"Can you tell us where the crime was committed?" Macey asked.

"Look, this young man," He said well taking my wrist and cuffing it, "needs to be taken for questioning. He will be reunited with you soon."

Circle dude took my hand out of Cammie's (Cammie keep the papers that were in my hand), turned me around, and cuffed the wrist.

Then he started dragging me away.

-Morgan

The Circle was taking Zach.

Why?

The agent was dragging him away.

I was about to go after him, but an arm around my waist pulled me back. I turned around to yell.

It was Joe Solomon.

He was awake.

"No," I yelled at Mr. Solomon, "You have to let me go after him!"

I turned around and kept struggling against his grip.

I felt the tears flood my face.

Zach met my eyes before being shut in the fake police car.

"I love you too," he mouthed.

And before I knew it, Zach was out of site.

I turned around and met Solomon's gaze.

"He was like your son, how could you let him go like that?" I yelled.

"Cammie," Solomon said, "calm down."

I looked down and felt bad. Solomon's arm vanished from my waist but I felt another grip on my wrist. I looked to my side and saw Bex. I felt myself breakdown and hug her. I didn't cry. I didn't yell. All I needed right then was a hug from my best friend.

Suddenly, I remembered the papers in my hand. I pulled away and looked down. I unfolded the papers.

The first one was a lined piece of paper that had Zach's hand writing on it.

I Love You,

Don't do anything stupid.

-Z

I folded that page and stuck it in my pocket and then unfolded the next.

It was a missing poster.

With the name, and picture of, Josh Abrams written on it.

My anger was back.
