I gently guided her around a corner and onto a quiet side street.

She leaned against the side of a building and I relaxed my arm beside her and leaned over her.

"So, plant any good bugs lately?" I asked softly.

Her eyes were a warm light green, searching my face. It suddenly became completely silent. Every beat of my heart was ringing through my ears. Her face was inches from mine and I could hardly breathe. I gently curled my fingers around the back of her neck.

"Just so you know, Gallagher Girl, I'm going to kiss you now," I whispered.

Cammie's eyes widened at my words, but she didn't move away.

Suddenly, in the corner of my eye, I noticed the reflection of Jimmy and the pink flamingo coming our way. Jimmy might as well see what he was missing.

My fingers laced through her silky hair and I gently pulled her closer. Her eyes fluttered close and she breathed lightly. I tilted my head and leaned in.

"Oh my goodness! Cammie, is that you?" DeeDee squealed.

I muttered a cuss word in Farsi as I took a step back.

Cammie's eyes widened and she looked dazed and confused.

"Hi, Cammie. I'm so glad you two are here!" Deedee continued smiling at me.

Cammie looked at Josh and quickly backed away from me.

Deedee and Cammie small-talked for a few minutes and then we all started walking down the sidewalk together, Cammie and I a few steps behind the other two. She seemed slightly distracted.

"Hey, you're gonna think I'm crazy," Cammie whispered.

"A little late for that, Gallagher girl," I smiled.

"You haven't seen anyone following us, have you?"

I laughed, remembering seeing Liz, Bex, and Macey attempting to tail me stealthily.

"You mean besides your roommates?"

She rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Yeah. Besides them."

"No. I haven't seen anyone on our tail. Why?"

"The guy. The blue jacket. "

DeeDee glanced back at us, so Cammie switched to spy slang.

"Don't you think he's toasty in that heavy coat?"

Knowing that she was really asking if the guy in the blue jacket was an operative, I turned slightly. I casually took in everything from the sight of the convertibles carrying the Founders' Day Princess and her court to the way DeeDee said hi to almost everyone we passed.

I'd seen him hanging around Roseville, tailing us, clearly an operative of some sort. I also remembered him talking to Dr. Steve, so I figured he was probably just making sure none of the precious little spy kids got in trouble.

"What about him?" I asked.

"The jacket's reversible. Ten minutes ago he was wearing it the other way. Do you think a lot of regular guys in Roseville take the time to reverse their jackets?"

We casually looked at him through a store window.

"Look at that guy, Gallagher Girl. He's a mustard disaster looking for a place to happen. I bet you anything he's got a big stain on the other side," I tried to convince her.

There was no point in blowing an operative's cover if he clearly didn't want to be known.

I faked a laugh, attempting to put her at ease.

"Now what are you two chatting about?" the pink flamingo asked cheerfully, too cheerful if you ask me.

I mean, I'm honestly not a really grouchy person. But, it's just not natural for someone to be so happy and bright and pink.

"Oh, Cammie was trying to convince me that I should recognize that guy in the blue jacket. But I've never seen him before in my life," I explained, glancing at Cammie.

She just looked down at her hands quietly. Then she quickly looked back up and with a smile grabbed DeeDee's arm.

"I've got to go to the bathroom!"

"I'll walk with you," I offered.

"No, it's a girl thing," she explained, glancing at DeeDee with a giggle.

The pink flamingo eagerly wrapped her arm in Cammie's and started down the sidewalk.

I watched them walking away and sighed. Then I remembered that I wasn't alone. I cast a glance at Jimmy or Jake or Josh or whatever his name is.

Okay, so I did know what his name was. I had been trained to memorize everything and anything. Unfortunately, this made it easy to memorize the real name of Cammie's ex-boyfriend. But, I would rather pretend I didn't know.

"So…Jimmy was it?" I asked Josh.

He clenched his jaw and forced a smile.

"Josh. Was it… Zeke?" he asked, his blue eyes hardened and shot daggers at me.

Little did he know I was trained for real ones.

"Zach."

There was a long pause.

"Sweet town you got here," I commented.

"I guess. But Cammie always loved it," he added, a small smile on his face, looking for my reaction.

"I'll have to take her around here more often."

He shot me an angry glance.

There was another long pause. I watched the people in the streets, but suddenly I realized that the Gallagher girls were strangely absent. And Cammie had been gone for an awful long time. My instincts were telling me that something wasn't right.

"Well, I better go see what Cammie's up to," I told Jimmy.

"Sure, see ya."

I left and quickly rounded up Grant, Jonas, and some of the junior Blackthorne guys. After explaining all I knew, they told me that they were being tracked too and that all the girls had left together.

"What could they be up to?" I muttered.

"I guess we'll have to find them to figure that out," one of the juniors commented.

"So how are we supposed to track them?" Grant asked.

They all started talking amongst themselves, coming up with ideas and ditching them. We couldn't get anywhere.

"Wait a second," I muttered.

Then, I laughed. They looked at me strangely.

"Jonas, do you know how to tweak a signal to track a tracking mechanism?"

"Yeaaah…" he answered, not sure what I was getting at.

"I bet those girls have tracking devices on us. If you can switch the signal, then we'll track them," I explained.

Before I'd even finished, Grant had found one on his shoe. Less than a minute later, Jonas had tweaked the signal and we were on our way to finding the Gallagher girls.

What crazy mess were they in this time?
