Cammie POV

I hardly slept last night. Or any night for that matter. I keep reliving what the Circle did that summer, every punch, every stab, every scream, every drop of blood, everything. But last night, I relived what I did to Zach, the smirk he gave me to the look in his eyes when I shot him. I shot him. I shot him. The only person in the world who protected me against his own family, the person who spent his summer going crazy when he couldn't find me, the person who kissed me in front of the whole school during the exchange, the person I loved will all my heart. And I shot him.

Begrudgingly, I get out of bed and turn the radio on. Listening to music humming through the room. I start my laptop up and type 'Sunsole holidays' this is a fake website developed by the CIA for spies to keep in contact inconspicuously.

I find 'Nebraska' (my family and friends communication), I see the most recent post is from my mom wondering if animals return to their natural habitat after hibernation?

Translation: Cammie come home.

'I miss you too mom' I exhale. Should I write a comment? At least letting her know I'm alive? What if they trace me? What if they find me? What if they want me to come home? 'AHH' I scream to myself as I click on 'make a comment'. I knew this was a HUGE risk and that if found, I would have serious questions to answer.

'Animals don't normally migrate back home when the threat of hunters is too great. Sometimes the animals become defensive and reckless to others, but are being protective and surviving. Sorry to disappoint you'

Translation: I'm safe, I can look after myself but I'm not coming home.

I hit send and walk into my room to get changed, I pick out a pair of black skinny jeans, a white t-shirt and my trainers. I'm about to step out of my front door when I remember I need my something to cover my arms, the scars would draw too many looks and unavoidable questions. My light blue denim jacket is on the back of my chair. As I reach for it, my laptop shows something, or some things that makes me stop.

'Maybe the animals are PMS-ing?' I laughed out loud. A sound I haven't heard myself make in 18 months. Only Grant. How did I know? Well only he would make a joke out of women. I could see Bex beating him up. This image made me chuckle. I turned my laptop off and left my apartment, walking down to the cafe below.

'Morning Kyle' I waved at the tall man behind the counter, his white smile glistened against his tanned Italian skin.

'Good Morning to you too' he winks as he hands me a muffin..

'What flavour am I testing today?'

'This is a blueberry muffin with almonds, I hope you like it'

'I wish I could stay but I have to meet someone' It was already 2:30.

'Fine, but you owe me' He smiled.

'Sure' I rolled my eyes and walked towards the town square.

Zach POV

I woke up to a tap on my door 'Zach, food's ready' Grant said. I lifted my head and saw the time. 2pm. I was definitely tired. I went to my on-suite to shower, partly to wake myself up and partly to clean the wound. When I emerge from the bathroom and start to get dressed, the gentle tap is replaced with thuds.

'ZACH! Get your lazy ass in here now! Cammie posted!' I rush to put my clothes on and run into the front room where everyone is congregated around Liz's laptop. The screen was on the 'Sunsole holidays' page where agents use to pass on information, contacting loved ones etc.

'What did she say?' I asked stepping forward. I read what Rachel (her mom) wrote last month and then read and re-read what Cammie had posted less than an hour ago. 'She's scared'

I said confidently.

'Maybe she's PMS-ing?' Grant suggested. He immediately got a smack in the arm from Bex. 'What? If Cammie was here she would laugh.' He crossed his arms over his body. That's when it hit us.

'GRANT YOU'RE A GENIUS!' All 6 of us exclaimed! Liz began furiously typing on her laptop and looked at all of us for approval. We all nodded, since Grant came up with the stupid, yet funny comment, he got to press send.

'Now Liz, work your magic' Macey said as Liz began flying her fingers onto the keys. 'And Jonas, check CCTV from yesterday to see where she went.'

12 minutes later Liz was finished, she had found Cammie's apartment 15 miles away from our current location and she was now helping Jonas comb through CCTV footage. The rest of us tried to keep ourselves occupied. We ate, we watched TV, we arm wrestled and wrestled until at 2:39...

'We found her.' Liz and Jonas said together.

'Where is she?' I asked eagerly

'At the Piazza del Colosseo, near the Colosseum. Very busy tourist spot.' Jonas said

'Perfect place to meet a contact' Nick added looking at me. We all then got ready to leave; at 2:47 we were speeding through the streets in two cars. In the front car was Grant driving, me in the passenger seat, and Jonas in the back. In the other car, Nick was driving with Bex as passenger and Macey in the back. We arrived at 2:55 and decided to split up when we got there. Grant, Liz, Jonas and Nick would stay in the cars at opposite ends of the Piazza.

'I have eyes. Black jeans, blue jacket and shades outside the cafe' Bex's voice came through my ear.

'Ditto' Liz and Jonas added

'Same' I replied

'Can I just add that Cammie looks amazing! I mean her style is on point!' Macey quipped

'Focus Mace'

Macey, Bex and I positioned ourselves around Cammie, keeping her in our line of vision.

At 2:59 she was still sitting outside the cafe sipping her drink. She had her sunglasses on and looked relaxed. At 3 o'clock, the bell tower chimmed, she put her cup down and sat up straight. She began looking around. Then her attention was drawn to her phone. She checked it, put it back on the table and sat back.

'Did everyone see that?' I asked

'Yeah' was what I got back.

'Umm...Zach, bogey heading Cammie's way' Jonas screamed.

'Who?' Macey and Bex asked

'I don't know... He looks familiar.' I whispered as I watched a man strut across the street holding his bag across one shoulder and waving at Cam, he made his way over to her, she looked up at him with a blank expression as he smiled in return. He then sat opposite Cam.

'Liz can we get audio?' Macey asked.

'Already one step ahead of you, I just need you to be a little closer Mace...Okay stop. Got it!'

You look beautiful as usual Cam-

What do you want?

That's no way to treat me.

You've ruined my life.

Sweetheart, I've saved it.

I disagree.

The man sat leaning in his chair with an elbow on the table. Cammie was sitting back with her arms folded against her chest.

Well then, I guess you don't want these. He dived into his bag and pulled out some files, Cammie sat forward and reached for them.

Not until you give me a kiss. He smiled. My hands curled into fists in disgust about what he just asked from her.

Go to hell.

He chucked

Still got feelings for the mamma's bo-

He is NOTHING like his mother

I disagree

What does that mean Leo?

That my dear, is irrelevant for the time being. For now, I have another job for you.

I'm not-

This one you will. Get in contact with Mr Winters considering how...friendly you've been in the past

'Shit, Preston' Macey spat through the comms.

You promised you wouldn't get them involved

I'm a powerful person Miss Morgan. You don't want to piss me off. How's your mother doing?

You touch her and I swear to Go-

I will if you don't co-operate Cameron. Now…

He paused, looking around the scenery and then drew his attention back to Cammie and laughed.

I could kill you, you little bitch! He leant closer to her and grabbed her arm. She didn't move. 'Guys…' Liz began

And why would you do that.

Don't play dumb with me. That one standing by the fountain. She's been taking pictures of us for the last 2 minutes.

'That asshole' Bex exclaimed

'Easy Bex' Grant soothed

She's my back-up. Was a double agent at the FBI till 3 years ago. When she was discovered, she disappeared. She's very talented. Cammie lied.

Send her over.

Cammie looked and made eye-contact with Bex, she waved her over. Bex started to walk over. 'Loose the comms, he's trained. We don't know what he's capable of' I said

'Yeah, well he doesn't know what I'm capable of' Bex said as she took her earpiece out.

'Hey Tori' Cammie said as Bex approached 'Allow me to introduce you to Leo. The only remaining Circle member'

'Nice to meet you' Bex extended her hard to Leo. He removed his hold on Cam's wrist and shook Bex's hand.

'British?' He raised one eyebrow

'When I need to be.' Bex smiled pulled up a seat next to Cammie, she mimicked her position by sitting back, crossing her arms across her chest. Leo laughed.

'Oh! She is good Cameron. I'll be in touch' He stood up and started to walk away.

'Don't even think about following him any of you' Cammie said. She stood up with Bex 'I know you've all been listening. So let's just make it easier...what's for dinner?'
