A/N: Hey Guys, I've been working on this since I got back from camp. It is 1,388 words not including the Author's Note so I hope you enjoy.


Riley POV

"Riley, what the hell is going on over there?"

"A lot of things , Cam."

"Ri,"

"Look, just wait it out. Lisa and Mark are here , but in hiding. Trust me, things will be okay."

"You said that the last time."

"Cam.."

"I know it was a low blow, but still.."

"Do not stress. I have a plan."

"Not another one!"

"Cam, look. It will work out this time, because I've got back-up."

"Back-up?"

"I'll have to explain later...Bye."

"Bye."

I got off the phone with Cam. I needed to buy more time, and more space.

"Stanley can you get me in contact with Derek please."

"I thought there was some sort of .. I dunno bad blood between you two."

"Stanley, don't question me!"

"Fine."

I went back to work on these clothes that I was making for some big secret plan or whatever.

"Do you ever leave this god damned place?"

"So nice of you to state your presence Derek."

"So nice of you to request me Riley. Oh wait, its not nice of you."

"Pity, and I thought we were becoming real chums."

"What gave you that stupid idea?"

"Oh , I don't know, just that you and I both know that you are helping Mark and Lisa. "

"You wouldn't dare hold that against me."

"We both have secrets , Derek."

"Some secrets are worth more than others."

"Which ones exactly?"

"You working with Morgan." Nothing could have prepared me for the words that came out of his mouth. Nothing could have stung more. He couldn't have said it with any more venom in his voice.

"As if to say you aren't trying to bring this organization down. As if to say your little outtings aren't so you can go to meetings. With Solomon."

"Have you been stalking me , Riley?"

"Oh, come off it! You and I both know we've been tailing each other."

"Haha, yeah...But if you do it again , I'll kick your gay ass."

"Homophobia is not the way Derek." He started to laugh at my words. I couldn't help but laugh with him.

"In all seriousness though, what is your plan?"

"Well..."


Cammie POV

"Cammie, it has been a week and still no ' sign' ! I say we just go now." Bex was trying to persuade me. Everyone was getting restless. We were in the kitchen. It was one of those kitchens that are off the side of the living room.

"Why don't we just chill out for a while. The lioness always waits for the right- "

"I don't give a shit about patience being a damn virtue!"

"Bex, working in our profession causes us to wait a lot! That is something I thought you knew."

"You know what , Cammie? Ever since you came back from your little adventure,if you can call it that, you've been acting like a bitch! Bossing everyone around, acting like your the most experienced one in here! We've all got our own lives to live you know!"

"Then live them! I didn't ask you to come. I told you the conditions, and me being a bitch, you haven't been the kindest person in the world your damn self!"

"You will not speak to me like that! Like I'm some little kid who doesn't know any better! How dare you!"

"How dare I? Bex, these people we are about to kill will stop at nothing to kill you! Nothing to make sure your teeth are sitting on their mantle! Nothing to make sure that their children will do the same to yours! I never thought I would see the day when the person I envied for her courage and determination would give up , and just quit! And as for me talking to you like a little kid that doesn't know any better, is because you don't know any better!"

"That's B.S. and you know it!"

"What the heck has gotten into you guys?" Liz said while she and Macey walked down the steps.

"Bex is getting restless. We all are." I answer.

"Then why don't we get the job done?"

"I haven't exactly been completely honest with you. I have friends working in C.O.C."

"What?" They questioned in unison.

"Riley is a good guy."

"Who is Riley?"

"Remember those guys in the picture from the Jet? Yeah , well they were both gay , Brandon and Riley. I befriended them and the last time I was in Germany ..."

"Cam?"

"Brandon got killed . And they made me watch as torture." I couldn't help but let a few tears slide down my face. "It was mostly my fault. I could've done better, been better. Riley lost the love of his life that day."

"Oh my god, Cam. I'm so sorry!" Liz said as she hugged me. Macey just sort of stood there for a moment. Bex had the look of understanding in her eyes.

"So that's how you and Zach recovered? Good for you." Macey said.

"Uh.. Mace? Wanna spill what's going on with you?"

"I did something stupid."

"Such as?"

"Jake and I came so close to ...ya' know, but then we stopped of course, and he still hasn't asked me out."

"What the hell?"

"Exactly, he probably thinks I'm just some booty call or , I'm disgusted with myself."

"When did this happen?"

"Last night."

"That bastard."

"Well, as long as we are having a confessional...Jonas and I got into an argument last night."

"What about?"

"Living together in the future."

"Is he rushing you?"

"No it's just that ... it's complicated."

"Well Bex?"

"What?"

"You and Grant. I know for a fact you're feeling frustrated."

"How would you know?"

"Well..."

"That was a stupid question for me to ask. But yeah... things haven't been right lately." Everyone decided to look at me.

"Zach and I aren't having many problems lately actually. "

"As if the secrets aren't killing you."

"We both have our secrets. Plus it keeps things interesting."

"How did they become the model couple?"

"I have no idea how we achieved that. I have an idea though, how about a girls day out in Paris?"

"SHOPPING!" Bex and Macey squealed.

"Sorry Liz."

"It's cool, maybe shopping will take my mind off of things. By the way where are the guys?"

"Upstairs." Macey answered.

"Let's leave a note?" I asked.

"Yeah ,sure." They agreed.


Jake POV ( after the girls left )

"Zach, I think I messed up big time."Grant said.

"There is your first problem , you said think." I replied.

"Zach, I messed up too." Jonas said while sitting on the couch. We were in the living room and Zach was getting a drink from the kitchen.

"I know for a fact that Mace is happy." I stated matter-of-fact-ily

"You are such a lier Jake. You know McHenry wants you to ask her out , at least on a date. Especially after what happened last night." Zach sat back on the couch.

"You know about that?" I wondered if everyone was in my business.

"Who doesn't?" Zach questioned.

"Jonas, you know Liz. She sees through your whole game plan." He continued.

"Jonas had a game plan?"Grant inquired. Hehe , I used a big word after Grant's name. Okay I have to stop hanging out with Grant.

"Liz and some dude named Charlie were getting awfully chummy in the labs one day , and I dunno...wanted to be closer?" Why do I feel like we are having some weird bromance confession time?

"So you decided to start talking about you guys living together? You haven't even kissed yet!" Grant stated.

"You do not know that!"Jonas half yelled , half whispered.

"Does anyone else here see the problem with Zach not having a problem in his relationship? I mean they are a train reck filled with secrets!"

"What goes on between Cammie and I is none of your damn business Jake."

"Yeah it kind of is. Considering you and Macey used to date."

"Whoa, whoa Jake. You're stepping out of lines there."

"It's okay , Grant." Zach said as he took a swig of his drink."He doesn't know the story. He doesn't understand a lot. Leave him be." And with that he walked up stairs.
