Cammie POV

A lot can change in my line of work. A nano-second can be the difference between a bomb exploding and safety. A millimeter can be the difference between life and death. A fall of a 100ft cliff could kill you, should have killed me. Some days I wish it did...

Rome. I feel drawn to Rome ever since I found out I was here that summer. Why? I still don't know. Over the 18 months I've been across the world chasing what the Circle left behind. A ghost. Every time the trail went cold, I found myself wandering back through the streets of Rome.

I've been back for 4 weeks without a plan. I was wondering back to my apartment thinking about what to do next, when suddenly.

'Gallagher Girl' I stopped. My heart rate quickened, I turned on my heels and came face to face with the impossible boy. I must be dreaming.

'Zach? What are you doing here?' I took my glasses off thinking that my eyes were tricking me. They weren't.

'Spy' He pointed to himself in a cocky manner and smirked. A smirk that usually made me shiver. I was frozen to the the spot. How is he here? And who else is with him? 'Come on Gallagher Girl, where's that eye roll? Or cute little blush?' He took a confident step forward. My instincts kicked in and I brandished the gun concealed in my trench coat. I pointed the barrel at his chest. The way I was trained to.

'Stay back' I stared into his emerald eyes as a flicker of worry crossed his face and his hands tentatively moved up in defense

'Easy Gall-'

'Don't call me that.' I spat back. My could feel my heartbeat banging in my ears.

'Fine.' Was his response, he took another step. He was getting too close. If he got any closer, I'm sure I would melt. So I stepped back.

'Stay away from me Zach' My voice broke. Damn.

'You won't hurt me Cam. I know you.' He looked into my eyes, searching my soul. He does...did know me. A lot has changed in 18 months. I've changed. And Zach doesn't deserve me now. I could feel the tears seeping into my eyes, I shook my head, not allowing them to fall.

'No, you don't.' I lowered my gun and aimed at his leg, 2.3 inches away from the center of his leg. It'll be a flesh wound. He'll live. I fired and watched him fall to the ground. I started running. I've run for a lot of my life, but today, I wanted to get away. The tears were falling as I ran down the street. No one looked twice at me, I'm the Chameleon.

'ZACH!' I heard Bex shout. I stopped. Bex. If Bex is here then Macey and Liz are here. If those three are here, then Grant, Jonas and Nick would follow. They'd follow me. I looked over my shoulder to see if I had a tail. No. I continued walking, using windows to see behind me. I put my sunglasses back on to cover my puffy eyes as much as possible.

5 minutes later, I looked over my shoulder. Still no tail. I entered my apartment I've been renting over a cafe near the heart of Rome. When the door shut, I slumped against it allowing silent tears to fall. I don't know how long I sat there just staring into space, thinking of how quickly I could leave Rome, vanish like I have multiple times before, but my phone buzzing brought me back to reality.

Blocked: 15:00 usual place.

I sighed. Guess I'm staying in Rome a little longer.
