So another chapter's up. I wrote on the drive there and back to the beach so yeah. Ummmm... Enjoy!
Disclaimer:
Me: Oh Zachy poo... Come here!
Zach: What, wait. Where am I? Who are you? And don't call me Zachy poo.
Me: I'm the reason you're in the story and as for the other question... Classified. And I can call you whatever I want to, I'm the author. Now do the disclaimer!
Zach: What? No way! Why should I?
Me: Because I have Cammie! Mwahahahahaha! *cough cough*
Cammie: Mmmmmppppphhhhhhh! (Stop being stubborn and do what she says!)
Zach: (To me) You're crazy but you have Cammie so... She is not Ally Carter. Happy?
Me: Yep! Author out!
Cammie POV
When I woke up, I was in cell made of cement with no windows. There was only one guard positioned outside of the cell. 'They must really underestimate me.' I thought. I could easily knock out the guard and pick the lock. They had taken my weapons but left my money and wallet with me. 'They really need to upgrade their security' Just as I was about to get up, I noticed a small black dot on the zipper of my wallet. The tracker from when I snuck out to see Josh! I quickly took it off and crushed it, hoping Liz hadn't remembered it and come with Bex, Macey, and Zach to try to find me. Then I got up and started running my fingers along the bars. The guard came over just as I hoped.
"Stop that!" Then he reached over to move my hand and I grabbed his hand and pulled him against the bars. He was knocked out and before anyone could notice I used a bobby pin and unlocked my cell. I was lucky the base was such a small one and I could get out so easily but I couldn't keep relying on luck. I was nearing the exit when a dozen guards came out and charged at me. I took out all of them but one and he pulled out a gun, aiming it at my chest.
"Get on the ground and don't move!" I did and he slowly stepped forward. When he got close enough I jumped up and swept his feet out from under him. He fell and passed out from hitting his head but not before pulling the trigger. I tried to jump out of the way but I wasn't fast enough and it grazed my arm. Blood started to flow out and I was starting to feel light headed. I quickly took off one of the guard's shirts and wrapped it around my arm. I would go to the hospital later but for now it would have to do. I ran up the stairs through the door into what looked like an abandoned railroad station. I felt my ears and realized they hadn't taken my earrings that doubled as bombs.
"Where is she?" I could hear some more guards come up the stairs and I knew I only had a few seconds before they would find me. I quickly took off my earrings and ran outside. Once I was far enough, I pressed a tiny button on them and they started to tick. It was set to go off in 10 seconds so I chucked them at the building and ran.
I heard the blast and knew it was in flames. I don't like to kill but to survive, we sometimes have to. I tried to focus on something else instead like my bleeding arm. It was starting to drip through the shirt and I needed to have it stitched up before I lost too much blood. I could see a town in the distance so I started to walk towards it. Then I realized it was Roseville. I couldn't go there so I started to walk in the opposite direction. 'What a great way to start my new life'
Liz POV
We were on our way to find Cammie at the base when suddenly I lost the tracker signal.
"You guys! I can't find Cammie with the tracker. She must have found it and destroyed it!" I couldn't believe it. It was just our luck to lose it when we were so close.
Zach groaned and put his face in his hands. Cammie running off again has probably affected him the most. He was pale and had bags under his eyes which were hideous. 'Oh god. I'm starting to think like Macey!' I can tell he thinks it's his fault Cammie was gone.
"Do you have any other trackers or bugs on her?" He asked, hopefully.
"No. Everything else she took we never touched. She knew what things we put the bugs in. I guess she forgot about the wallet." Bex answered him.
UGH! It was so frustrating. I feel useless! I can crack almost any code, break through almost any firewall but I can't even find my friend!
"Turn left here" Zach said to Bex who was driving the car. I know. BEX. But she insisted and she was doing, considering we've only gotten into three almost crashes, and veered off the street two times, pretty good. 'We're coming for you Cammie.'
Macey POV
Now I guess I know what it felt like when I ran away; I just can't believe Cammie would do this again. I get what she means about protecting us but we're Gallagher Girls and we protect each other. Whether she wants it or not, we're always going to protect her. She needs to understand and come home.
"I hope she's okay." I say.
"She's a Gallagher Girl and Gallagher Girls are tough." Bex replies. But I can see the worry in her eyes.
I can understand why she left but that doesn't mean I wanted her to. I really hope she's okay.
Bex POV
'She's a Gallagher Girl and Gallagher Girls are tough.' That's what I keep telling myself. She'll be okay, she's tough. I see why she left but that doesn't make it any better. She's my sister and sisters protect each other. She might not think she's important but she is, not just to the Circle but to us too.
"Turn left here." Zach says and I look over at him. He seems to be taking this the worst. I can tell he really loves Cammie. When she's not around, like during the summer and right now, he seems different, sort of deflated. I don't think Cammie realizes how much she is to us, to everyone.
'I hope she's okay, she better be okay'
Zach POV
'Gallagher Girl, where are you?'
Of all times she had to rip off the tracker NOW. 'Cammie, where are you? Please come back. Please.' I knew it was my fault for letting her go, my fault she was in danger right now. 'Once you get back I'm never leaving you out of my sight.' What she wrote in her letter wasn't true; she wasn't just one person, she was so much more. She's everything to me, and I can tell that her friends would do anything for her. I hope she's okay. Then I realized something that I hoped wasn't true.
"Wait. Cammie ripped off the tracker right? So that could mean she already got out of the base."
Everyone was silent for a moment, thinking over what I just said.
"But, that would mean she might not even be where we're going. It would mean we're where we started, no clues, nothing." Liz exclaimed.
"Then let's hope that isn't the case." Macey said.
Bex said nothing but instead drove faster when we heard it. A loud blast which could only mean one thing; Cammie was gone.
Uh oh. They were too late! What happens now? Read on! And, if you haven't figured it out yet, reviews, reviews! Arf! Woof! Bow wow!
