Macey POV

'Holy shit. Did she just say Leo Johnston is dead?' Bex asked

'Yeah. And there was gunfire' Nick added

'Two people missing. One has to be Cammie' Zach said

'Where was she going?' I asked Jonas

'I don't know. They left Preston's pretty quickly'

'You have to call him Mace' Bex asked

'And what will I say?'

'You're a McHenry, you'll think of something' She winked.

'I'm going for air' Nick said walking outside. I sighed.

'I'll talk to him' Grant said

'No, I need to. But I'll call Preston first'

*Ring Ring Ring Ring*

Winters speaking

Hey Pres

McHenry?

Yeah. It's been a while.

It has...ummm how are you?

I'd be better if you told me why Cammie was at yours earlier

I can't tell you.

Why not?

It's business

And she's missing

Wait what?

Have you seen the news.

No. Hold on.

There was noises on the other end of the line

Shit.

Yeah. Shit

She left mine in a bit of a hurry.

Did something spook her?

I don't think so. We talked about...business and she left.

What business?

Macey, you know I'd tell you, but I can't

Preston please.

On the other end of the line sirens started going off.

Preston, what was that?

My intruder alarm. Macey I need to go.

Keep me on the line in case.

He took a heavy breath

Fine.

He was moving around. Then nothing.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Preston?

Nothing.

Preston!

There was movement again

I'm so sorry Macey but Preston isn't available right now. He's too busy with me for trash like you, so fuck off. Adios She hung up.

My blood started to boil. I recognised that voice from the news. Charlotte Scott is a grade A Bitch. 'That Motherfucker!' I screamed throwing my phone across the room. I turned around and had 5 pairs of eyes staring at me. 'WHAT?' I reverted back to my bitchy-teenager-faze whenever I need to. It's my security.

'What did Preston say?' Bex asked

'He said that he and Cam talked about business and that she left in a hurry. Then the intruder alarm went off and that plastic barbie bitch from the TV answered the told me to fuck off' I said gathering my things.

'Where are you going?'

'To Preston's.'

'Why?'

'To slap that bitch so hard her fake tan will come off' I smiled 'Are you coming?' I said dangling the keys in front of her face.

**An hour later ***

'Winters resident, Do you have an appointment?' Charlotte's voice came from the speaker

I put on the sweetest voice possible 'Hi Charlotte, it's Macey McHenry here to-'

'No way in hell am I letting you in' I gripped the steering wheel harder till my knuckles were white.

'Easy Mace' Bex whispered. I loosened my grip.

'Could I possibly speak to Preston please?'

'No.'

'Wow, you were right she is a bitch' Bex whispered

'Charlotte, who's at the gate?' This voice came from the speaker but was distant slightly.

'Oh just some wannabe' She said innocently.

'Charlotte, I can see it's Macey, let her in.' Preston's voice was clearer now

'Why do you want American trash here?'

'That so called American trash is one of my best friends, now let her in.'

'It's either me or her.' There was silence.

'Did she just ask that?' Grant said from the back.

'She did' Bex said. There was still silence. I was silent. Then suddenly we heard a large buzzing noise as the gate started opening.

'Now we know his answer' Grant added.

'Grant, although you are dating one of my best friends, I will not hesitate to kill you' I said. I pulled up outside the house. We all got out of the cars except of Nick. He stayed at the house. I was obviously pissed at me and for good reason. He just couldn't understand what happened between me and Preston. Nick consumes my thoughts as the front door opened. Preston was standing there with sweat on his brow and blood staining his white shirt, he somehow managed to smile.

'Hey guys, long time no see. Come in' He disappeared inside the house as we started to assend the stairs dumbfounded.

'He has blood on his shirt' Liz pointed out

'Is it his?' Grant asked

'We'll see' Zach said stepping through the door.

His hallway was large and full of light, the decor had combined classic Rome with modern Rome. He emerged from a side room with a blood covered towel and was still smiling.

'Thought you'd get here quicker' He directed at me. I shrugged.

'Yeah well there was an accident down the road and police everywhere so I came as quick as I could'

'Perfect timing actually, she's awake' He turned around and started walking into the room he just came from

'Who's awake?' Zach asked stepping forward. Preston stopped and stuck his head around the door.

'Cammie of course' He smiled then disappeared again. We all rushed into the room to see Cammie sitting on the desk in the corner of the room while Preston attended to the wound on her stomach. So it was her blood that covered his shirt. Part of me was relieved that it wasn't Preston's, the other half was worried because it was Cammie's. She smiled when we entered.

'Hey' she said

'Cam what happened?' Zach asked moving towards her placing his hand on her cheek

'Got into a little accident.'

'An accident? Cam tell them what you told me.' Preston stood up and looked at Cam. She signed.

Cammie POV

'Catherine knows I'm a double agent. Someone told her.'

'Double agent?' Zach asked, searching my eyes

'Catherine and I made a deal. I would work for her if she didn't hurt my family or you. She agreed and taught me most of her tricks. She then said that we were meeting with important Circle members. I managed to contact the CIA telling them about the meeting but nothing happened. So me and Leo formed a plan to bring the circle down completely.'

'Leo's a good guy?'

'Double agent for MI6' I looked at Bex

'That's why he liked my accent' She said

'Yeah. He's been in deep cover with the Circle and when I got involved he found out about my plan and we worked together.'

'Where does Preston fit into this? No offense buddy but you're not really a James Bond or Jason Bourne kinda guy' Grant said

'None taken'

'Anyway, Catherine wanted a way to expel certain members who became greedy. Preston's been organising poker games for Circle members and high rollers, when there here we play two schemes on them. One - Preston gambles with them and they loose money. Two - they get violent and we clean up. Its a win-win situation for Catherine and for us.'

'How so?'

'Catherine gets rid of those she doesn't trust, and in turn trusts me more. Then the money she gets, we trace around the world to find where she's been hiding'

'Still doesn't explain what happened today' Zach said tracing my bandages with his other hand. I winced and he stopped.

'Leo got a text saying I know Morgan and I'm not happy. Meaning that Catherine knows what us three have been doing behind her back. Then when we left the SUV followed us and ran us off the road. We got out and shots were fired. Leo was protecting me and we were trying to get into the woods to run, he got shot and the bullet traveled through. I couldn't save him.' My voice broke.

'Then she ran through the woods back to here, causing several alarms to go off. She was passing out when I got to her.' Preston added.

'Thank you' Zach said turning his head to face him.

'Anything for friends' Preston didn't look at Zach, he had his focus on Macey who was trying to avoid his gaze. 'Macey can we talk?' She nodded and they left the room, shutting the door behind them.
