So I couldn't help but procrastinate, and I had a burst of inspiration! So here you go. This chapter has some well... sexual implications... but that's why it's rated T. I'm assuming you're all mature enough. :) I love you all. less than 3. (cause I found out they take out the less than sign when you publish? Such an outrage...)

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

ZACH

Days went by for Zach and he learned nothing more than the fact that Miranda Kaufman was simply a cover.

A cover for whom, he was dying to know. Maybe that's why Zach almost jumped when he heard his phone ring; he was so deep in thought.

Zach peered at the screen. Chloe-Bear 3 was flashing on the screen. Zach could picture his wife typing his nickname for her into his phone.

Zach picked up on the first ring. He suddenly felt guilty for not calling her the whole time so far. Actually, he barely even thought about her.

"Hey Chloe-Bear, how was your last mission?" Zach could hear her soft melodious laugh in the phone.

"Wonderful Zach, I took down a couple of idiots who got their hands on some nuclear missiles. Easy Peasy," Chloe sang into the phone.

"Goode honey. I was worried about you." Half a lie. Zach was a bit more preoccupied with the woman who was living in the same building as him and sending him death glares constantly.

Chloe sighed into the phone. "Zachhhh. You don't have to worry about me. I'll be fine. You have over 180 boys to worry about at Blackthorn who are much less skilled than me."

"Yeah, but they aren't going on dangerous missions yet. And actually I only have 30 to worry about right now. We're doing an exchange with Gallagher remember?"

Silence. Zach knew Chloe remembered. He also knew what would come next.

"Isn't that where she went?" Chloe's tone turned cold.

Zach whispered back a faint "Yes."

This conversation was not going to end well. Zach just knew.

"Is she there Zach? Did she come back? Is that why you haven't called me at all? Because you love her more than me? Because she was a better spy than me? Why Zach? What's going on?"

Zach could feel his patience hanging by a thread. She asked nearly the same thing whenever anything related to her came up. Whether it was the mission, the Circle of Cavan, or just Gallagher itself, Chloe would freak out.

But Chloe wasn't really that bad. She was still for the most part, the same girl he met about 15 years ago, right after the disastrous mission.

He had been grieving then, full of guilt. Zach took blackout missions, knowing that Cammie would talk to him again after what happened, and hoped to die.

Maybe the next part was a bit melodramatic, but Chloe was his angel. She was his partner for one of his missions.

With dark brown almost black hair and deep chocolate brown eyes, Chloe was different from Cammie. Chloe was one of those late comers who didn't go to a spy school.

She simply graduated from a regular university and decided to join the CIA. The others made fun of her for "not being as good", but Chloe tried hard.

Chloe had talent, that was undisputable. But what got her high enough to be Zach's partner was her perseverance and quick ability to learn even more.

Zach admired the girl who didn't care what others thought. She was what his mask had been.

The cover personality that he had held all those years before. While Cammie had tried to find the real him, Chloe already seemed to know it.

So Zach married Chloe and had a son. He became a loving father.

Chloe loved her family, but she loved the adrenaline rush of missions more.

In a way, she was naïve. Chloe got pretty easy missions compared to the ones Zach had before. The ones that kept Zach from enjoying the same adrenaline rush Chloe did.

The ones that haunted all his dreams.

Chloe continued on missions while Zach taught, and that was the way it still was.

Zach didn't realize how long his flashback was till he basically heard Chloe's pouting on the other end. That girl had a mean puppy dog face.

"Chloe, you know I love you more. I've just been a bit stressed the last couple of days. Cameron isn't at Gallagher, but other woman, Miranda Kaufman, seems to have it out for the Blackthorn Boys, especially Caleb. I'm keeping an eye out for them."

"Alright then Zach sweetie. Sorry for bursting out like that. I'm just worried. With me gone all the time, and you being so handsome, women throw themselves all over you!" Chloe sounded frustrated.

Zach smirked. "Don't worry Chloe-Bear, I'm married to you. I think a wedding ring kind of means I'm taken" he teased her.

"Oh and Zach? I'm going on another mission. With Trevor."

Zach was speechless for 10 whole seconds.

"Trevor? Are you sure you can't get a partner switch? That guy is like a hormone-crazy teenager!"

Chloe sighed. "I already tried but I can't. I'll try to keep him from doing anything, but you know what happens if it comes down to the mission."

Of course Zach knew. Chloe would do anything for the mission. Including some things Zach would rather her not do with other men. She was married for goodness sake. To him.

There was no use in complaining about it. "Fine Chloe. Just be careful. I want to see you at home and waiting for me this winter break. Love you."

"Love you too." she replied, and they hung up. Zach sighed a bit and flopped onto his bed.

"So that was your wife?"

Zach sharply turned around to face a very amused looking Miranda Kaufman standing in his doorway.

"What do you want Miranda or whatever your name is?" Zach responded coldly.

"Nothing. I just wanted to spend some time with my favorite colleague." Miranda replied sarcastically. "I came to talk to you about some of the ways your boys are treating my girls."

Zach felt a bit outraged. "The way they treat your girls? How about the way you treat my boys? How is that any better."

"Part of it is for their own good. The other part is because they deserve it." Miranda replied.

Zach could feel his anger building up and his walls and mask coming up too. He only leaked the slightest bit of malice into her voice. "I don't think so Miranda. I know you're not really called Miranda Kaufman, you've told me so much. I can't trust you. I need to know who you are!"

Zach couldn't take it anymore. It wasn't just his curiosity driving his actions. It was his frustration at everything pointed directly at this woman.

Then Zach lunged at a shocked Miranda Kaufman and pinned her down on the bed.

"You're not going to get up till you tell me. Tell me." he threatened her.

And then what happened next was the last thing Zach expected.

Because Miranda looked scared, and screamed at the top of her lungs before breaking down crying underneath him.

CAMMIE

It was just going to be a friendly little meeting. Well, as friendly as her threatening him to keep his boys away from girls could be.

What she didn't expect was to find him talking to his wife. To have to hear him talk to another woman in such a loving tone.

He was worried about Chloe. He loved Chloe. And not her.

Zach never loved Cammie. Cammie should have let right then and forgot about threatening him, but a spy didn't run. Especially not because of such a stupid thing like love.

And now, as Cammie found herself pinned underneath Zachary Goode with a cold expression of pure hate he tried to hide behind a mask, she broke.

It all came back to her. The memories her mind tried to hide from her. The memories of men who not only had beaten her, but stripped her, laughed at her, and broken her from the inside. The memories with Zach on top of her beaten and bruised body where he whispered into her ear.

Tell me. Tell me where the disk is.

And it was all too much. She screamed the screams that had build up inside her from the pain. The pain she wasn't ever supposed to show.

If the East Wing where Zach's room wasn't sound proof, the whole school would have heard her scream of agony.

And then when she couldn't scream anymore, Cammie just gave up. She cried and cried for the pain she went through. Her body went limp under Zach's body.

"You…you were the one who broke me first. I trusted you, and you broke me. You tortured me. You took away my life." Cammie sounded delirious.

She managed a look at Zach's shocked face and mistakenly looked into his piercing green eyes. Because that's when she really lost it.

"YOU ARE YOUR STUPID GREEN EYES! YOUR PROMISES! ALL BROKEN! The lies, the secrets, the mysteriousness. They told me to stay away from you, but I didn't. I trusted you. I wanted to believe in you, but you never really did love me did you? Because even after the mission, you didn't want to explain. You didn't come and say sorry for all it was worth."

"C-C-Cammie?" Zach sounded unsure.

"Of course Zach." she said bitterly. She tore off her brunette wig and took out the green contacts that tinted her blue eyes a beautiful dark green and threw them on the ground.

"Are you really that blind? Or do you just want to not admit to yourself what kind of pain you caused me? I couldn't remember what had happened. Not till now actually when you pinned me on the bed. I bet you didn't know that the incident left me pregnant? And guess what? I don't know who the father is. I always thought it was one of those disgusting Circle of Cavan men. The ones you blew up with the headquarters. But now that I remember what happened…. Do you realize….that you could be Angelina's father?"

The last part came out so softly, Cammie wondered if Zach even heard her. But from his shell-shocked silence, Cammie was guessing that he did.

"I'm sorry." Zach whispered to Cammie.

"It's a bit too late now Zach." and she ran. Cammie didn't care if anyone saw her without her wig and contacts on. If Zach knew, than nothing mattered anymore.

She burst through the doors of the P&E barn, scaring the juniors practicing in there.

"POP QUIZ!" she sang and charged towards them. Cammie needed to get rid of some of this pent of energy. Fighting the whole junior class was sure to do it.

They were still half in shock, but started to fight back against her.

Punch, kick, jab, roundhouse kick. Cammie loved the rhythm and the fluid movements.

For having almost no experience on her, the juniors were holding up pretty well. She waited till most of them were bruised or tired out before stopping.

"You guys did well. Remember not to stand there like an idiot when something surprises you, it might just give your opponent the upper hand." then Cammie left the P&E barn, leaving the junior class buzzing over who she was, and hoped to find a quiet place to cry.

But Cammie remembered that the sophomore class was supposed to be back in 5 minutes with the disk, so she sighed and walked towards the gate.

At the gates of Gallagher in the van were 3 tied up boys and almost all the girls. They seemed tense when she approached, and Cammie remembered she wasn't in disguise.

After 4 minutes and 53 seconds, Cammie saw Caleb and Andrew approach. The disk was in Caleb's hands, and Angel was passed out in a smirking Andrew Goode's arms.

Andrew walked straight up to Cammie and looked her straight in the eyes. "I believe this is your daughter Ms. Morgan. She fainted when she saw your files."

A collective gasp could be heard from the sophomore class. They were standing in front of the legendary Cameron Morgan.

Cammie was surprised too. "You got through the firewall of the disk?"

"Caleb did." Cammie was impressed. She called out to Caleb, "Good work Mr. Anderson. Your mother created that firewall. I'm not sure if she'll be more proud or upset when she finds out."

Caleb smiled happily and gave a nod of acknowledgement to her before going over to talk to his sister. Cammie turned back to face Andrew.

"Your mother is going on another mission and your father is worried about her. Go talk to him." It was the partial truth. Chloe was going on a mission. Zach was worried about her, but maybe a bit more preoccupied with the events that had just occurred.

Andrew nodded, put Angel gently on the ground, and left to find his father. Cammie faced the rest of the sophomore class.

"Some of you passed today. Some of you failed. I expect you all to go down to Sublevel One and examine mission on the tapes. Write a report on what you did wrong tailing and being tailed. If you haven't figured it out, Miranda Kaufman will no longer be teaching your class. I will."

If they didn't' figure out that Cammie was Miranda by now, Cammie wasn't going to tell them. They left whispering to Sublevel One.

Cammie gently shook Angel, who was still unconscious on the ground. Angel started to stir.

"Mom? Is that you?"

"Yes sweetie, are you alright? I'm guessing …you've figured out the truth." Cammie waited for the reaction.

Angel jerked up and stared at Cammie.

"So this is your real appearance." Angel sounded bitter and mocking. Cammie could feel the tears in the corner of her eyes. Angel hated her.

"I'm so sorry Angel. I thought it was for the best, for you not to know." Cammie whispered silently.

"What was best for me? I think I would have liked to know who my mother really was. I think I would have liked to know why I still don't know who my father is. It wasn't the best for me. It was the worst. My own family, my own mother keeps secrets from me. I hate being a spy!"

Angel was yelling, she was ranting. She was having a fit, jumping up and down and stomping her feet. Cammie didn't know what to do.

She stared after Angel as she ran away from the gates of Gallagher.

At this moment when the truth was resurfacing, Cammie could feel her safe little bubble of lies popping.

Cammie could see her life unraveling before her sad, sapphire blue eyes.

Poor Zach, he's so confused. Poor Cammie, her life is sucking right now. Poor Lina, she feels betrayed.

This chapter was just depressing and drama-filled. You'll get more of Zach's reactions the next chapter.

I hope you don't hate me for making Chloe not all bad. Because you know, I don't think Zach would just marry some ditsy person so yeah.

I also hope you liked this chapter...I felt I could have made it better, but then I didn't know how. .

I really do need to study now...but I've always been bad at that. I'm also bad at keeping away from my computer for more than 30 seconds and checking for reviews.

So ease my pain, and review? :)
