Chapter 14

There was Josh…How long was he standing here?

"Shit!" Zach exclaimed and backed up. You could barely hear him, but I heard it… (Oh, that was a nice word wasn't it? No, it isn't…)

"Josh! I've got the refills for the medicine! Where do you want me to put-" DeeDee ran out and stared from me to Zach. "OMG! Cammie! You're back, and you're with Zach, hey."

"Hi, DeeDee." I gave her a quick hug. She was probably relieved that I was with Zach… I looked at Josh, who had the same expression when Zach tried to kiss me the last time. (In CMHHTS) "Hi Josh."

"Hi…Cammie." Josh replied nervously.

"Where are you two going on this fine day?" DeeDee asked.

"We were-" I was just going to say 'going home' but Zach interrupted.

"Hanging out." Zach said, and then grabbed my hand to prove it.

"Oh. My. Gosh." DeeDee said softly expecting us not to hear her, but you know what spies always say, 'we spies hear everything.'

"Maybe we should go Cammie, we don't want to disturb DeeDee and…?" Zach probably said 'Jimmy' too much that he doesn't know his real name so…

"Josh." I finished for him.

"Yeah." Zach (I'm so not kidding) reached for my hand and pulled me away.

"Well it was nice to see you two again!" DeeDee smiled at us and waved.

"Zach." I said as we walked away DeeDee and Josh.

"Yeah?" He replied.

"Well I just wanted to say that-" I started, but then saw my friends running towards us. Mostly running to me though.

"Cammie! Something happened. Something bad, something really, really bad happened!" Liz yelled at me.

"Calm down Liz, what happened?" I asked. Bex looked at us.

"Macey," Bex started and took a breath. "Macey's been kidnapped by the Circle of Cavan!"

"What! I thought the Circle wasn't after her! They were after," I shivered. "…Me." I started to panic.

"We were just walking around in the alley where you and Zach were and then a van came and people grabbed her! They drugged her and put her in the van!" Bex started.

"We tried to save her, but there was a fog and it totally blinded us and then…they escaped." Liz finished silently.

"We have to do something!" I yelled. "Zach?" I looked at him.

"Why are you looking at me?" Zach asked me.

"Because," I stepped closer to him, "You are a part of this! Remember? That is why people made a school called Blackthorne! To kill innocent people like my…" I paused and looked away. Tears were coming out of my eyes.

"Hey, hey." He whispered softly and walked next to me to brush the tears away, but I pushed his hand away from me.

"What?" I looked at him hard. I didn't care how my eyes looked. I. Didn't. Care. "I'm going to save Macey and stop the Circle Of Cavan and you can't stop me!" I turned around and was about to walk away when he walked in front of me.

"No, you're not going. I am." He turned me around to look at him in the eye.

"Why should I listen to you? You'd probably want to stop me from my mission!" I was about to walk away when he said something the girl and spy within me couldn't believe. Spies are supposed to be prepared for anything, but I wasn't prepared to hear this…

"Listen Gallagher Girl, I love you and if I loose you, I would never forgive myself." He said and stared at me. This must be a trick. "I'll prove it to you that I love you." He kissed me before I protested. I heard an "Ooh…" from Liz and Bex. He pulled back and looked at us.

"Well," He started, "If you want to save Macey, let's go." He put his hands in his pockets and walked away.
