lari223: WOAH. Who said that they were half-siblings? I mean, they might be, but I actually don't know yet. I have some ideas for them that I can't actually say without ruining anything so I won't. Keep reading to find out ;D

Disclaimer: I don't own the Gallagher Girls series.

ZACH

Zachary Goode was not pleased with today's turn of events so far. He had saved taking the sophomores to CoveOps last in order to spy on Miranda Kaufman, but she had destroyed all his bugs, including the hidden one nobody ever found. Let's just say it made him extremely pissed off.

Then of course, she managed to humiliate him and his students. She seemed to have it out especially for his son. Why not Nick Parker? Nick was the ladies man who played all the girls.

Finally, she mentioned Cammie. Who was she to be even allowed to mention Cammie, let alone know her bug hiding spot? It was something only Cammie, Zach, Bex, Liz, and Macey knew about. This woman was dangerous, and Zach needed to know more.

After unsuccessfully trying to hack her CIA profile again for more information. He went over all the things he learned about her so far at Gallagher.

She was the CoveOps teacher here at Gallagher. She had it in for Zachary and Andrew Goode. She seemed to know a lot about Cammie. She had an almost mother daughter relationship with Rachel Morgan. He could even tell Miranda was friends with Liz by the way she seemed a bit softer on Caleb than the other boys. And finally, Miranda Kaufman was as good as a spy as Cammie, maybe even better.

Zach could feel the guilt in the pit of his stomach again from thinking about Cammie. He felt frustrated at this woman who seemed to replace the once love of his life. Yes, Zachary Goode used to be in love with Cammie. Used to. Now he loved Chloe. Then why did he find himself in Cammie's favorite secret passageway?

Zach just sat there and remembered all the good times he had hiding here with Cammie. He studied every corner of the passageway, looking for clues to his past. That's when he noticed a brick a shade lighter than the others.

Curious, Zach pulled on the brick, only to be shown a door? Pulling on the door, he noticed it was locked, but there was a eye scanner. Zach put his eye to the scanner only for it to shut down.

He stood there in shock. So what had just happened? Exactly 28 seconds later. The door opened, and there stood Miranda Kaufman with a half amused, half furious look on her face.

"So what in the world, were you thinking entering here?" She asked him. Zach was in shock. He felt like stuttering, but managed to speak in a calm tone.

"A pleasure to see you again. May I ask, what would be in the room behind you?"

Miranda just smirked. "I don't know Goode," she remarked sarcastically. "You're the spy. Figure it out. And stop trying to hack my CIA profile. It's not very nice. And you'll get nowhere. Liz updated my security."

Zach was curious again. "How do you know Liz Sutton?" he asked while at the same time scheming to ask for Jonas' help in breaking through.

She seemed to read his mind. "It's a small world Zach, and don't bother asking Jonas, he's tried breaking through as well and failed. Everyone seems so curious to find out my past. There are some things you just shouldn't know." She was mocking him. Those same words he told Cammie all those years ago.

Zach was mad again. "How do you know so much about Cammie? Things that she did, things no one knew about!"

Miranda stared back at him with a sad look on her face and pointed to herself. "Spy Zach, Spy."

She turned around and went back into the room leaving Zach with even more questions than he had before.

Zach decided he needed to talk to Jonas himself. Maybe Miranda was lying to him, and even if she wasn't, it meant that Jonas was just as curious to know who she is as he was. Why else would you try to hack someone's CIA profile?

Zach entered his room and checked for bugs first. He found 4 bugs planted by his son. Zach sighed, did his son really think he could get his bugs passed his father? Oh well, Zach thought. He punched in Jonas' number. The phone rang three times before Jonas picked up.

"Hey Zach, what's up?"

"Hey Jonas. Look, I have a favor to ask you?"

"Of course you do Zach."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You only called me when you need a favor. Whose CIA profile am I hacking into this time?" You could practically hear the amusement on Jonas' face.

"Miranda Kaufman."

Silence. Zach wondered if somehow the phone was disconnected.

"Jonas? You there man?"

Jonas coughed and replied, "Yeah. I'm still here. Did I hear you right? Miranda Kaufman? That's nearly impossible. You know Liz, my wife, put extra security around her profile? I've tried hacking it a million times, just can't get through! By the way, how did you meet Miranda?"

Zach heard the frustration and curiosity in Jonas' voice.

"I'm at Gallagher remember? She teaches CoveOps here. There's something not right about that woman. Are you sure you can't try hacking it again? And how did you meet Miranda? Tell me everything you know."

"Chill Zach. I'm hacking it again right now. You're lucky you're my friend cause if Liz finds out I tried hacking again she's going to be pissed. Anyways. Miranda is like best friends with Liz, Bex and Macey now. Surprised you don't know, but then again, they sort of shunned you after the whole Cammie thing."

Zach winced. He just had to bring up Cammie. Well Jonas continued.

"Miranda just showed up out of nowhere. She came to the CIA one day and asked for clearance to work at Gallagher Academy. Don't know how she knew about it or how she got the clearance. But it's a good thing she came when she did. Liz was pretty upset when Cammie disappeared. Same with Bex and Macey. Miranda like almost replaced her. Scary. Even Rachel Morgan took a liking to Miranda. You know Miranda calls Rachel 'Mom'? "

Zach pondered everything he heard. More mentions of Cammie made him feel even worse. But Zach couldn't ignore the anger he felt, realizing Miranda's slow take over of Cammie's old life. Suddenly he heard another voice on the line which almost made him drop his phone.

"Zachary Goode, phone lines are not secure. I don't liked being talked about. If you're going to talk about me at least be more discrete about it. Jonas, you're lucky I'm not telling Liz. Congrats on finally breaking through my profile though. Liz will find about it herself. Good Luck. Caleb and Carly are great. Bye."

Silence could be heard on both ends of the phone. Then Jonas groaned.

"Thanks Zach, now I'll be sleeping in Caleb's room for a good week! But I do have your information like Miranda said. I'll just send it to you."

"Thanks Jonas. And sorry about that. I'll try to keep an eye out for Caleb for you. She seems to want to murder the boys."

Jonas chuckled on the other end. "Thanks anyways Zach, but Miranda won't murder Caleb if she wants to stay friends with Liz. You on the other hand, should watch out for Miranda. Best spy I've ever seen. Should've realized we would get caught. So long Zach."

"Bye Jonas."

Zach hung up the phone and checked his computer. He looked at the message Jonas sent him, with the note on the side from Miranda. Of course she added her own message for him. Zach was annoyed, but at least she let him see her profile. Was he saw shocked him:

Name: Miranda Kaufman

Appearance: dark brown hair, emerald green eyes, 5'4''

Children: daughter, Angelina Kaufman

Codename: Mask

Note: This is a cover profile.

Message from Miranda Kaufman: Don't try to figure who I am Zach. There are some things you shouldn't know.

CAMMIE

What did Cammie feel like doing as soon as Zach left her doorway? Freak out.

What did she really do? Call up her 3 best friends Macey, Liz, and Bex.

They answered on the first ring, and agreed to come visit Gallagher, it gave them a chance to see their kids too.

Liz just took a couple days off from work at the CIA headquarters. Macey snuck away from her life as the First Lady/ the President's secret bodyguard (after all, no one would suspect Preston Winter's wife to be a spy). And Bex had just finished her last mission for M16 with Grant, and had a couple vacation days to spare before her next mission.

It was perfect. Cammie went out to tell her mom of the arrival of her three best friends, and waited for them in front of the school. It took 18 minutes and 28 seconds for Cammie to see the limo bring them to the gates.

After many hugs, the girls snuck into Cammie's room. Blindfolded of course, no one was supposed to know where in the mansion Cammie stayed, including her friends. After their blindfolds were off, Cammie could see her friends sit down in a circle around her.

"So Cammie, spill. Why are we here?" Bex demanded.

And Cammie almost broke down. There was no need to check for bugs, her room scrambled all bug signals. So she told them everything, well almost everything. There was no need for them to know just how cold and intimidating she had been to the boys, but she told them about every encounter with Zach so far.

She let them see the classroom in Sublevel One where the sophomores were still there. Liz smiled at seeing her twins getting along fine with the class.

So naturally as the spies were finally catching up with each other's eyes, Liz just happened to notice that someone was placing a phone call within Gallagher, where no signals were supposed to get through.

Liz hacked into the phone call, just to be sure nobody was threatening national security or anything. Imagine poor Liz's surprise to hear Jonas' voice on the phone.

"Miranda Kaufman? That's nearly impossible. You know Liz, my wife put extra security around her profile? I've tried hacking it a million times, just can't get through! By the way, how did you meet Miranda?"

Cammie could see Liz smile proudly at her own handy work, it was smart to ask Liz for help.

Of course, Cammie was bit pissed to hear Jonas recite every detail of her cover that he knew to Zach. But what was she to expect? He was one of Zach's best friends. Precisely why her friend's husbands were not allowed to know her real identity.

Liz watched her computer with amusement as she saw Jonas try to get through her defenses, and countered each one.

Bex was cursing Zach under her breath for invading my privacy, obviously to vent for me.

Macey just laid on the couch and read the new Vogue magazine.

Cammie realized Zach wouldn't stop till he succeeded. Zachary Goode hated not knowing things. That Cammie knew, if it was the one thing she could actually attribute to his character.

So Cammie decided to tease him a bit. She took the computer from Liz, went to her profile and added her own message for Zach. Then she told Liz to let Jonas through, and hacked into their phone call.

Cammie enjoyed playing with Zach's emotions. He had done the same to her had he not? And it was just amusing to tease Jonas a bit with Liz sitting there. She wasn't mad, but Jonas didn't know that.

Cammie wanted Zach to stop trying to figure her out. It wasn't like she was interested in him, and anyways, he had a wife. It was no place for Zach to go around and stalk poor, innocent women!

Cammie smirked at her own thought. Poor and innocent indeed.

After that exciting conversation, the four spies decided to sneak around and spy on the students (They were spies, were they not?).

Bex and Macey almost burst out laughing seeing the intense make out session between Austin and Elaine. Somewhere in between their laughter you could hear them joking about becoming in-laws. Not that they weren't already practically sisters.

Then Cammie froze. Angel interrupted Austin and Elaine's make out session. Angel only talked to Elaine when she had problems. Boy problems. Cammie knew, this had to do with the 5 sophomore Blackthorn boys.

Cammie heard their conversation, and ran back to her favorite secret passageway. Her best friends followed her with a worried look.

They entered Cammie's suite again and stared at Cammie for the longest time. Cammie didn't know how to feel.

Frustration that the Goodes were messing with Morgan girls hearts again.

Anger at Zachary Goode for having a son.

Lividness at Andrew Goode's guts to even talk to her daughter, let alone flirt.

Sadness that her daughter felt she couldn't talk to her mother about the situation.

Guiltiness for taking away such a crucial part of a teenage girl's life - boys.

Cammie comprehended her mother's reason for having another exchange, and felt just a bit appreciative to do something Cammie herself could not.

Because Cammie wasn't ready to discuss boys with her daughter yet, she was having trouble just imagining her daughter with a boyfriend. It would be especially painful, since the way things were going, Andrew Goode had taken a liking to Angel.

So Cammie did the next best thing she could think of. While sending a note to Angel, Carly, Caleb, Elaine, and Austin to meet them for dinner in her mother's office, Cammie added a little side note for Angel.

It's okay to love someone Angel. Just try not to get hurt in the process. I love you.

~Mom

You all probably hate me right now for making Zach so clueless. o_O

But hey, he's suspicious and I have this huge dramatic scene planned out in my head :) Besides, I hate dragging things out too long, so you won't have to wait much longer! Yay!

The next chapter is currently still in progress and it's going to be in Lina's point of view (well its in 3rd person, but what she's doing? Yeah.).

Review! (I'm still waiting for that bittersweet moment when someone criticizes what I write. :P)
