I really hope this is worth it because it's taken me all day to write this. Cams pov is all action. Liz's doesn't have any but its good, I hope anyway. Please review.

CODE BLACK
Cams POV
I spun round and put all of my strength behind the hit, he fell and I twisted to meet the next opponent, kicking him in the gut, I was a good fighter and several dozen of the enemy had already fallen but I was tiring and they knew it. I was a mere metre away from the exit but the corridor seemed to stretch on forever and the COC agents blocking the way weren't helping. The agents surged forward in a ring around me, there was no way out and there was forty of them with more coming but a Gallagher girl never gives up even if she has to give her last breath fighting. It was then that someone stabbed something in my neck and my eyes going wide, I gasped then everything went black.
Maybe this wouldn't have happened, Maybe if id been more careful, maybe if I had been faster running through the corridors secretly slipping hidden microscopic cameras in the walls and floor, maybe if I had been better at cracking the code to the files which I downloaded from the computer in the vaults, maybe if I had gotten the files and camera links to Liz sooner, maybe if…., maybe….
Liz POV
I was up an hour before breakfast as usual, on my computer, it was like any other day; Macy was deciding which pair of designer jeans to wear despite all three pairs looking identical to me, I mentioned that to her once but she had just looked at me like I was crazy, and Bex was still asleep. The only difference to normal was that today, like every day for the past 5 months, Cam wasn't here. I sighed and looked at her empty bed, remembering how she used to sit there laughing at Bex when she grumbled and moaned about mornings. Macy stopped choosing her outfit for the weekend long enough to smile sadly at me, I guess she knew what I was thinking about.
A beep from my laptop told me I had a email, I went down stairs to the library with my laptop, set it on a table and opened up my email I glanced round but the room was empty. The email was heavily encrypted, I grinned wondering which secret agency it was that wanted my help my hands flew over the keyboard at top speed, but it still took me over three minuets to decode it all! When I had done that I tried to find out where the email had come from but it was bouncing all over the world, that didn't surprise me, it was probably from the CIA or maybe even NASA (they often sent me emails asking for help), I doubted it was FBI, I had a huge argument with them last time they contacted me, because as I told them, even a five year old could decode the encryption they sent over and that it was a waste of my talents to work it out. A link appeared on the screen and I double clicked on it. Just then the alarms screamed out 'CODE BLACK, CODE BLACK' shocked, I threw myself out the chair but something caught my eye and I sank back down pale and quiet, for on the screen of my laptop was the words; 'sorry, the code black I have just issued was for your safety. You wont understand yet, but you have to stay here, don't let them call off the code black until you've read this and it has been sent to the correct authorities otherwise if they find out I've sent this and only you know then they will kill you. I'm sorry I had to give this to you Liz, but I trust you.'
I blinked what the hell? How did someone set a code black from outside the building? I moved the mouse over to the words and clicked, I was right about it being another link. A video popped up, it was Cams face and she was grinning, the time stamp in the corner of the video said it was taken twenty minuets ago
'Hey, sorry bout that' I could barley hear her over the alarm. 'This is the COC headquarters, well one of them anyway, I couldn't find the main one I'm afraid. I've put cameras all over this dump so assuming they don't find them, there all at your disposal, I've also given you some stuff I down loaded from there computer in the vaults I've not read most of it I didn't have the time but there some blueprints to this building and some other junk someone can make use of. I blew up the last two headquarters but I can't with this one I have… something else to do' I frowned what did she mean my something else? 'But anyway this is important Liz no matter what they say, no matter what they show you. I'm not dead. Ok? Not in 10 minuets not in 10 months. They need me for…' she glanced behind her and fear spread into her eyes 'I have to go but remember what I told you. Ill see you in a few months.' She smiled again but this time it didn't reach her eyes. She put something onto the computer and ran out the room just as it exploded, leaving the video to only snow.
I walked out the room the laptop still balanced on my arm, and was greeted with sirens, moving bookcases, exited teenagers, and terrified first years. I had completely forgotten about the code black. The siren cut out but the rest of the code black was still in effect. Gallagher girls and teachers alike had all gathered in the main hallway. Ms Morgan was stood at the front, she addressed the girls 'we've canvassed the area but it appears that someone inside the building set off the code black. Did anyone' she didn't even get to finish before I pushed my way to the front and said calmly
'That would be me.' There was a few surprised intakes of breath at that, I realised that in the school I was the second likely to be responsible for this, the first being Amy. Ms Morgan raised an eyebrow.
'Fine if that's the case then ill turn it off '
'NO!' oops, I didn't mean to shout
'Excuse me?' now Ms Morgan looked REALLY shocked.
'Who says?' said Tina annoyed.
I looked her straight in the eye and replied 'Cam says' every Teacher and student gasped in union. I glanced back and saw Ms Morgan put a hand on the wall to steady herself, I held up the laptop in answer to an unasked question. 'Video, documents, blueprints, cameras INSIDE the COC.' I said grinning
A low whistle came from Mr Smith 'she's been busy'.
'My office, now' Ms Morgan had recovered enough to go back into head teacher mode. I followed into the spacious office. I had half an hour of questions before they even watched the video. 'What was she thinking? Going in the middle of the same people who have tried to kidnap her twice! It's insane. Let's see the cameras then. We scrolled through various videos. I stopped on the sixth one.
'What the hell?' I asked. There were several guards running down the corridor.
'Do not tell me Cams still in there.'
'no.' I frowned, 'she can't be she recorded the video.' I looked at my watch. 'An hour ago now, it wouldn't take her that long to get out would it?' I clicked onto the next video and went pale. The reason Cam hadn't got out was there on the screen. She was fighting thirty or forty agents. The floor was already littered with unconscious or dead guards. As a stun gun was pressed into Cams neck she looked directly at the camera, the look in her eyes was unmistakable.
'Trust me' both me and Ms Morgan said. Mr Smith gave us a confused look but Ms Morgan ignored it and put her head in her hands. 'The blasted COC have her and she wants us to trust her? She knows as well as we do what happens to agents in the COC! Even if they get out alive, which is unlikely, they've all been tor….' She cut off her rant with a gasp and a glance at me 'oh god Liz. I didn't mean… I forgot you were here… sorry.' But it was too late; a tear fell down my cheek. I got up and left.
Thank you for the 8 reviews now! Most people have about 20 by now but the ones I've got are brilliant. So thanks x
