Author's Note: Thank y'all for all the awesome reviews! They really make my day! And I have over 60 now, which is insane! So thank you so much! I'm so sorry I didn't update sooner, I was on a vacation and school started, so I've been super stressed out. But here is the next chapter!

The Great Gallagher Heist

Chapter 9: The Family Tree

Cameron Ann Morgan

(1st person)

March 13, 2010

We landed at Gallagher, and before Bex, Zach, or anyone else could stop me, I was jumping out of the helicopter and heading towards my mother's office, which was currently on the other side of the school.

I was about to knock when someone caught my hand. I looked up and Mr. Solomon spoke.

"Ms. Morgan, why don't we give your mom a few minutes alone with our guests? I'm sure she will call for you soon."

Fine. "Okay." I say to him, then turn back and head back to my dorm room. I knock on the door and the voices inside stop. I head inside, only to find Zach, Jonas, Grant, and another kid along with my roommates. Greaaattt.

"Hey Cammie,"

"Hi Cam,"

"Long time, no see,"

"When are you gonna tell me?"

"Gallagher Girl,"

I nodded my acknowledgment to everyone and glanced at the new kid.

"Who's this?" I ask the boys.

"Oh, this is our new roommate, Nick. He just started a few days ago."

Ahhh. That would explain why I've never even heard of him. Ignoring Bex's question, (I'd totally answer it later), I turned to Liz.

"Hey, do we still have any bugs planted in my mom's office?"

"Yeah, I think we have one or two left."

Perfect. "Thanks Liz. I'll be back in a few you guys." As I turned and walked out of the room, Macey called out,

"What's up Cammie?"

"I promise I will explain later!" I said over my shoulder. Once I get my own answers, I thought to myself. And being the chameleon I am, I disappeared.

Katarina Lynn Bishop

(3rd person limited omniscient)

March 13, 2010

"Rachel," Kat started hesitantly. "Why am I, I mean we, here?"

"Well, Katarina…I don't really know how to tell you this." Rachel said, in an almost strangled voice.

Well, this can't be good, thought Kat. "What is it?" she asked, now genuinely curious, and a little nervous.

"Joe, I need a minute with Kat. Can you take the others to the kitchen and get them something to eat?" Rachel said, watching Mr. Solomon take the other kids out. Then she took a seat next Kat. "Kat, there is no easy way to tell you this…but…you're my daughter."

"What? Are you deranged or something?" Kat exclaimed while jumping up, an incredulous look in her eyes, staring back at Rachel's hopeful, (and now slightly hurt), eyes.

"No, Katarina. I am your mom. We have the DNA test to prove it if you don't believe me, and can take more if you don't believe me." Rachel explained, handing Kat some files. Kat skimmed through them, and then looked back at Rachel. There was confusion, shock, and hurt on her face.

"My mother died when I was young. My father has pictures of her. And you are definitely not her!" Kat's voice got louder and louder as she finished. She's lying, she's lying, she's lying, Kat thought. This has got to be some sort of twisted interrogation tactic, she told herself.

"Kat. I know this is a lot to take in and you don't believe me, but you have to hear me out. Can you do that?" Rachel looked at Kat with pleading eyes, and there was something in them that made Kat stay.

Rachel breathed an almost inaudible sigh of relief, and began to explain.

"You see, Kat, on this day, sixteen years ago, I gave birth to two very beautiful twin girls. One of them was you, Katarina Lynn Morgan, and the other one was Cameron Ann Morgan, whom you met today. My husband Matthew and I were ecstatic beyond belief to be so blessed. The nurses took you to the nursery, as they are supposed to."

"But something happened, I remember it clearly. The lights went out and there was a lot of confusion and noise. When the lights came back on, no one could tell what happened, until one of the nurses came running back into my room screaming that one of you was gone. It was chaos then, and for the next few years we went to the ends of the earth it seemed trying to find you, but we kept coming up with dead ends."

"Then, out of nowhere, on your sixteenth birthday, the sixteenth anniversary of your kidnapping, you appeared. As if, by miracle." (A/N: sorry that was really long...)

Rachel finished. Kat was shaking at this point, and Rachel was smiling at Kat with the look of a mom seeing her baby girl.

"Please, Kat. You have to believe me. Give me the chance to prove to you. But if you still won't, I will send you and your friends back home, no questions asked by the CIA. But please, Kat. Stay. I can't loose someone I love again."

Kat didn't dwell on that last part, instead thinking of the offer of a free ride home and back to her dad and Uncle Eddie….if, they really were her family. But if what Rachel, who may just be her mom, is true, then…Kat was conflicted on the inside, so she just looked at Rachel with hazy eyes and asked if she could walk around and think for a bit. Rachel said yes, and Kat walked out of the room, dizzy with all this new information.

She didn't know where she was going, but all she knew is that she needed to sort this out. When she reached a tapestry that hung on the wall, she lifted it up and pressed on the wall. In other old mansions she had been in (well…Hale's homes), secret passage ways were always hidden behind things like the tapestry. She pressed some more until she hit something, and she slipped into the opening, now hidden from sight. As she walked on, she noticed that there weren't cobwebs like there should be in an abandoned passageway. When she looked at the ground, she saw footprints in the dust.

She followed the prints until she came to a turn, and she peeked around the corner. What she saw startled her, causing her to take a sharp breath and scuff her shoe on the floor.

So much for stealth.

A/N: That was a pretty long chapter if I do say so myself :-). Oh! Cammie and Kat are twins! And Kat was kidnapped as a baby! Interesting developments, aye? I have some twists in store, hopefully ones you won't see coming at all! I have where I want the story to go planned out, so I'll post chapters when I can find the time to write 'em. Review and tell me what you think could/should/will happen next! Thanks for reading. I'll post as soon as I can. And reviews help. Trust me :-).

(P.S. I discovered page breaks. YAY!)
