Chapter 4

I didn't know what was wrong with me. I guess I got carried away. It's like something was controlling me. Maybe it was my inner feeling. I ran so fast I didn't exactly know where I was. Oh yeah, I was where I saw the pigeons. Then I remembered, Zach and I were here before. When I told him I was going to run away. I wish I was still running away. I wish I was away from all of these problems that I was facing now. Why do these problems keep going to me? Why can't I be carefree? Maybe I should just go and take a walk. I took a secret passageway into the outside world. (That's what I call it. Maybe you just call it a city or downtown.) I walked around and decided to walk by Josh's store. (I'm just calling it Josh's store for short) I was tired, didn't really know where I was going. Well, yeah I kind of did. Josh's store is still open… He walked out of the store and saw me.

"Cammie, is that you?" He asked.

I couldn't take it, and fell on the concrete.

"Cammie! Are you all right? Cammie!" He started shaking me. He carried me (like a guy would carry a girl way). I saw a glimpse of DeeDee and passed out cold.

I woke up which felt like hours later and saw Josh looking at me.

"Cammie are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah I think so." I tried to get up, but I had a hard fall on the head when I passed out. "Oww…"

"Hang on I think I have something to help your bad cut." He rubbed some medicine on my head, which really burned like crazy. "How do you feel?"

"Better thanks." I lied. Remember, spies lie.

"What were you doing out here in the middle of the night?" He asked. "Shouldn't you be in school?"

"Long story Josh…" I said.

"You were lucky my dad makes me lock up the doors. I wouldn't have seen you if I didn't." Josh said.

"Yeah, lucky me." I said. "Thanks Josh."

"Awe it's all right." He replied. "You get some rest."

"But this is you bed." I protested.

"Don't worry, I'll sleep on the floor." He said.

"I'll owe you." We laughed fell asleep.

"Morning Cammie."

"Good morning, Josh." I smiled. It was morning. I hope the others weren't concerned about me.

"I have to go to the store." He put on a coat.

"Want me to help you?" I asked.

"If you want to?" He looked at me. "By the way how are you feeling?"

"Better thanks." I walked to the store with him.

"How are you and DeeDee?" I asked.

"Ok I guess…" Josh said.

"I thought I saw her yesterday…"

"Yeah… she should've been here by now." He looked around the store.

"Here I am!" DeeDee shouted as she walked in. "Hey Josh I-"

She looked from me to Josh. (Back and forth)

"What a surprise, Cammie. You're. Still. Here." DeeDee said slowly.

"Yeah, um, maybe I should go…" I started out the door.

"Are you sure?" Josh asked.

"I think she's sure." DeeDee interrupted.

"Don't forget to visit when you have time." Josh said.

"Alright, bye…" I slowly walked out of the store.
