Chapter 2 – Sleepy little town

Cammie's POV

I stepped out the airport and into the warm air of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. I walked towards the car park trying to tell myself that what I was about to do was all for the greater good. I found a car parked in the 15 minutes waiting time zone and I commandeered it. Not stole, commandeered.

I pulled away and started to drive. On the plane I had figured out exactly where I was going, I was going to a little town in western Queensland called Longreach (A/N all the towns mentioned are real but the addresses and people aren't). It was isolated enough that I would be unlikely to run into any one but big enough that Bex would assume I would go somewhere smaller. I started the 13 hour drive to my destination; this was going to be a long drive.

Zach's POV

Gallagher girl, it would be so much easier to find you if you hadn't removed the trackers I put on you! She had picked pocketed Bex's passport so she could see where we had been. Bex said that she had an Australian accent, so we all reckon she went to Denmark. I really hoped we found her there. She just vanished after that day of school, no one knew why.

It was going to be hard to find her, I could tell because 1) we sat in the same café and I didn't even see her and 2) she was in full on chameleon mode. We better find her before the CoC.

Cammie's POV

I had been living in Longreach for 3 months now. I had a job as a tour guide at the local museum and was making enough to pay for the cottage I was living in. I hadn't seen anyone I knew but that didn't mean I wouldn't so I used all the techniques I had.

I was walking to the local pub, deciding to treat myself to dinner out because I was really getting sick of two minute noodles. I walked inside and sat down. I glanced over the menu out of habit, I already new what I wanted. "Hey Jess what will it be?"

"Umm the steak and salad please" Paul the waiter wrote down my order and walked away. My new cover was Jessica Greenaway, a blonde, green eyed girl. I had moved up here from a town called Nanango.

After 10 minutes they put down my meal. I finished, paid and left. I started to walk home when I felt eyes watching me. I kept walking though because a civilian wouldn't have been able to hear the near silent shuffles that were behind me. Then a twig snapped, the spy in me told me to keep walking, but since I was meant to be normal I whipped around and called "Who's there?" I was met with silence. So I started to run.

Once home I locked the door and waited for my pursuer to break in. I went through the motions of cleaning the kitchen. I heard the person slip through the window, but Jess didn't. So I didn't turn around until the intruder spoke. Again it was the last person I wanted to see.

"Gallagher girl?" Zach asked. Zach, god missed him so much! He looked the same as he did in Venice. His hair messy, eyes shining.

"Who are you? What do you want?" I put as much fear in voice as possible. Jess didn't know him.

"You can drop the act Cam, I know it's you" He started to walk towards me. His green eyes shone with happiness. But I backed away.

"I'm Jessica, please just take what you want and leave. Just please don't hurt me" I ran into the wall. Look scared! I felt my eyes water when I commanded them.

"Always clinging to the cover until the end, I don't think you'll be able to resist this though" he was only inches from me; he pressed his lips to mine.

Don't' kiss him back! Jess doesn't know him! As far as she knows he's a rapist! It took all I had not to kiss him back. Playing on the rapist thing I let the tears flow free and started to try to get away from him. Zach stopped kissing me immediately. He stepped back so he could he see me. I stumbled away from him and into the corner.

"Get away from me!" I screamed. Zach looked at me, shocked.

"It really isn't you Cammie?" he asked suddenly worried he had gotten the wrong person. I couldn't believe this was working!

"No, now please leave before I call the police" I threatened. He didn't say anything else he just turned and left. I can't believe I got away with that!

But they had found me and that was dangerous. I didn't want them to get hurt. So I grabbed my emergency bag and left I was about at the car when someone grabbed me from behind. But before I could react they put something on my forehead and the world went black.

Cammie's POV

When I came to I was back in my dorm at Gallagher. No! I got up and ran to the door, locked damm. Now I would need to find another way to escape. I know what you're thinking, why are you try to get out of Gallagher? Well I am trying to get out because I'm here which means it's easier for the Circle to find me and because if they came to get me, Macey, Bex and Liz would try and defend me. I know they are good spies and all but the CoC are better and I just know that they will get hurt. I just couldn't live with myself if they did.

After trying everything and thoroughly concluding that there was no way out. I decided I needed a plan. I couldn't fight my way out… wait maybe I could.

I was going to create another cover. I was going to be a psycho. What I mean is I am going to pretend to hate everyone here and raise as much hell as possible. That way I won't be allowed out on Cove Ops missions. Then I can escape when there are less people around to stop me, and I can fight my way out!

This was going to be hard though, I can hardly think about hating Zach or my mom or Liz, Macey and Bex. But if it kept them safe it was worth it. Wait did they find the note from the CoC? I frantically searched and then remembered that I dropped it in the canals in Venice so if they ever caught me, they would never know why I left. Lucky!

I heard a knock at the door, time to put my plan into action. Zach stuck his head around the corner. "Hey Gallagher girl" he smirked, my heart fluttered. No, you're in super bitch mode.

"What the hell do you want?" I sneered and it all went down hill from there.
