Catherine POV

'Ma'am, we are in position. Do we engage?'

'Negative. Wait for my orders.' I was perfectly positioned from my sniper spot that I could see into the ground floor room closest to the forest. There I was surprised to see my son cuddling Miss Morgan. Doesn't he understand what her father did to us? Or what she is doing to him? She is a snake, a poisonous one sucking the life out of him and he loves her?

'Ma'am they're leaving. Do we engage.'

'This is their warning. Do not shoot to kill or injure' I may be heartless but he is still my son. I want to kill him myself.

'Copy that. Alpha team proceed' Suddenly shots were fired into the room, Dust and debris began to rise in a little cloud of smoke.

'Beta team continue' I said

'Copy that.' 5.3 seconds later the bomb detonated at the front of the property. Trapping them inside.

'Teams move out.'

'Ma'am we have clear shots on the targets.'

'I said move out. I need them alive. Copy?' There was a pause

'Copy Ma'am, moving out.'

I stood up and grabbed my phone, I started dialing the only number I have programmed into it.

It rung.

Cammie POV

'Cam are you okay?' Zach asked, we were both coughing from the dust

'Yep' I popped the 'p' 'you?'

'Same. We need to check on the others' He stood up and grabbed my hand helping me up. We started running down the corridor. We turned the corner to find everyone slumped on the ground catching their breath

'Guys are you okay?' I asked

'Couple of scraps, but we're alive.' Grant said.

'Preston, we need to get everyone underground in case another attack comes.'

'On it. Follow me.' Preston stood up and started leading us down a flight of stairs, across a long corridor when my phone started ringing.

'Hello?' I asked

Cammie, its so good to hear that you're alive

Catherine! I stared at Zach, his eyes wide with fear

Are you alright, everyone in one piece?

This was you?

I'm a woman of my word Cameron, I didn't pull the triggers or detonated the bomb

But you did give the orders

Touche.

What do you want?

Cammie, I want to protect you.

From what?

My son

Why would he be a danger to me.

Because you were always just a mission to him

You're lying

If I'm lying, why did he forgive you so easily after you shot him? Why didn't he find you that summer? Why didn't he try and contact you over the last 18 month? Think Cammie, he knows you better than anyone. Does he really? Or is it the amount of files and information we have on you.

YOU'RE LYING

Ask him about Stephanie. That's part of my proof, I've sent you an email, read it if you want. Just don't come crying to me what I'm right. Farewell Cameron. She hung up. I stare at the phone for what feels like forever before throwing it against the wall, watching it break into a million little pieces.

'Cam are you okay?' Zach asked placing his hand on my shoulder. I recoil at his touch. 'Cam what did she say?' I stared into his emerald eyes trying to find something to cling onto. Hope. Catherine has been right about most things, why would she lie now? 'Cam?' He asked, worry seeping into his voice.

'Whose Stephanie?' Zach physically tensed and his grip tightened on my shoulder

'Cam..'

'Who is she?' I stepped out of his hold

'No one important' He stepped towards me

'WHO IS SHE ZACH?' I screamed. I looked into his eyes, he dropped his gaze from mine.

'A one time thing' He whispered.I don't know what came over me but I slapped him hard across his face, what pissed me of the most was he stood there taking it.

'Zachary Goode, I hate you' I whispered before pushing passed him into the room that Preston wanted us to go into. I sat in the corner away from everyone else, I took another sleeping tablet, lied down and curled up allowing silent tears to fall before once again I drifted off into sleep.

Sorry for the slightly short entry. But thank you SO MUCH for the amount of you that are reading and some of the nice comments. What I'm trying to do is upload daily till Chapter 20, then have it at possible one or two chapters a week. Is that okay? Please let me know what you think! Any ideas suggested may be added.
