Chapter Four
Bungee Rope and Static Annoyances
"Oh, sure," Cammie says, dangling from the hanging from the helicopter above them. "Don't help me or anything. Just stand there and –"
"Okay, okay. Geez, Gallagher Girl. I'm trying," Zach replies as he tugs on her ankle and catches her when she lets go of the rope. "This is the last time we use a bungee cord."
"Agreed," Cammie sighs as she attempts to stand and steady herself but fails by accidently collapsing into the boy standing in front of her.
"Who knew you'd fall for me so quickly," he says with a smirk.
"Don't flatter yourself," she retorts. "I only tripped over a cord."
"Guys!"a static cry says, interrupting their bickering. "Can we leave the flirty chit-chat for when we're done with this mission and back at Gallagher?"
"My regrets, McHenry," Zach smirks. "You just know Cameron here can't get enough of me."
"I don't think it's just Cameron." A deeper voice mumbles.
"Grant, just shut up." Cammie rolls her eyes.
"Just get in, get the file, and get out." Macey says from the Comms unit. "And make it in less than five minutes. I can't afford to get an F because you people were too busy engaging in 'playful banter'."
"Alright, McHenry," Zach laughs as he tightly secures the bungee cord to the bar on the side of the building. He finds the end of it and ties it around himself and Cam.
"Don't drop me, okay?" she says playfully. "I wouldn't dream of it," he replies seriously.
They stand on the edge of the building, a bright orange cord laced tightly around them. Thirty feet below them is the windowsill where they should be landing. Cammie gasps at the view.
"You ready for this, Gallagher Girl?" Zach says, tightening his grip around her waist.
"Ready as I'll ever be."
And they jump.
