(This is a long chapter)
Zach POV
We walked in the CIA offices and was ushered into the room I was in almost a week ago.
Hasker looked pissed at all of us.
'Well...Where is she?'
'We don't know sir' Bex replied
'Why don't you know?'
'Because she's good at her job' I stated
'If fact she is good at her job, she ended up doing this.' He clicked his remote, on the plasma was video footage of Preston's house from the front, then the bomb detonated. The footage cut out. 'You could have stopped this happening' He said
'Sh-' Liz was elbowed by Jonas. Shit.
'What were you saying Miss Sutton?' He put his focus on her, a blush started to creep up her neck. She cleared her throat
'Should I analyse the footage?' She gulped.
'No we have a team on that. But because of your stupidity the bomb killed two people. One of them being Agent Leo Johnson' This was all wrong. Cammie was right, something isn't normal at the CIA.
'Could we analyse the bodies?' Jonas asked
'No, we have a team on that.' He ruffled some papers together. 'You are all suspended until an investigation takes place'
'What have we done?' I asked, He spun on me.
'You let a highly dangerous operative escape meaning you failed your mission. Then you managed to capture one of the greatest criminal minds in the world but she's under FBI custody! Why would you notify the FBI before the CIA?'
'Interpol' Macey said casually. Hasker took a long breath
'That explains a lot.' Then he smiled 'Please remain in the room until another agent comes in' He then walked out and shut the door.
'I don't like this one bit' Grant said
'Me neither' Nick said trying the door, it wouldn't open 'Guys, we're locked in'
'WHAT!' Everyone tried the door, except for me and Bex. We sat staring at the camera in the corner of the room. Someone was watching us.
'They know' I whispered without opening my mouth
'That means that Cammie's in danger' She replied not moving her mouth, we looked at each other
'Fuck' we both said. Suddenly the screen flashed on, it was a body camera footage from inside a van, then the van stopped and doors opened. The person then emerged onto a street. My street.
Alpha team in position
Proceed with caution Hasker's voice filled the room
Copy that, alpha team move in. We watched as they entered my apartment building, climbing the stairs I've done many times before and stopped outside my front door.
Ready to engage
Proceed
Copy that. I held my breath. They kicked my door open and walked inside, the place seemed untouched. Maybe Cammie didn't go back.
Apartment is clear. Sir it looks like no one has been here for a while
Look for clues. The person then walked around my front room, his gaze rested on the coffee table where there was a little note. Fuck.
Sir we have a note.
What does it say?
All it says is: Honey I'm home! I know you tried to follow me in Rome, but stay out of my way or you'll regret it. I exhaled. Cammie knew the CIA were onto her, she's made it look like we had no idea about her location. Cammie was saving us. But where is she?
That will be all alpha team. Then the transmission was cut off and Hasker walked into the room again.
'On behalf of the agency, we give you our apologies. We honestly thought that you had made contact with her'
'Just because she's a double agent, doesn't mean we are' Liz said, then stopped. Shit.
'You are dismissed.' We started to leave 'Oh, Mr Goode?' I looked at him 'We'll buy you a new door' He smiled, I fake smiled and we walked out of the building. We walked for a few blocks in silence. Bex stopped to look at a florist shop.
'We have tails' She said
'How many?' Grant asked picking up and smelling a rose
'4' She said
'What should we do Zach?'
'Go home, lay low for a few hours till I make contact. Act as normal as possible.' I smiled, we all laughed, making it seem like something it wasn't. As we all hugged goodbye, Liz and Jonas had managed to hand us all comm units. We could keep in touch easily. As I walked away, Bex shouted after me.
'ZACH, DINNER'S AT 7!' She waved at me
'I'LL BE THERE' I smirked and then turned the corner, I started running, and stopped at the edge of a busy street, I turned around and saw an agent come round the corner searching for me. I turned again and walked away. The CIA had picked some idiots to follow us...well at least try and follow us.
Later that day
*Ring ring, ring ring, ring ring*
Soloman
Hey Joe it's Zach, just wondering how you're flight was.
What's happened now Zach?
Cammie was right, something isn't right with the CIA.
How do you know?
We were asked a lot of questions, then we say footage of them breaking into my apartment looking for Cammie.
Did they find her?
No actually. She left a note telling us to stay away, she's gone, we can't find her anywhere.
She promised he muttered What are you going to do?
The CIA have suspended us for the mission failure. Then we were tailed when we left.
Be careful Zach. The CIA know more than their telling us.
We don't think she's in D.C. it would be too dangerous.
'Zach' Liz said
I got to go Joe, I'll keep you posted
Same here Zach. I put the phone down.
'Any news Liz?' I asked
'Actually yes, I looked at all CCTV footage from the time the SWAT team were outside your building and I managed to see Cammie'
'Where was she heading?'
'I don't know. She helped an old lady with her groceries and then drove her car. I'm running her plates now, maybe she knows were Cammie went'
'Yeah maybe, I'm going to sleep, night liz'
'Night Zach' She left the room. I picked up my phone and dialed a number I sadly knew off by heart
*Ring ring, ring ring*
Hello?
It's Zach, I need your help.
Liz POV
'Liz, go to bed, you've been up for 18 hours straight' Jonas said
'I've narrowed the search. I need to find her'
'Liz we all do, just slow do-' He was interrupted by my screen flashing
'I FOUND HER!' I screamed, I ran out of the room and shouted down the corridor 'I'VE FOUND HER!' Soon everyone was emerging from their bedrooms with a look of confusion on their face
'Liz, it's 6am, why the yelling?' Grant asked
'I found who the plates are registered to, she lives 10 miles from her, she might know where Cammie went!'
'LIZ YOU'RE A GENIUS!' The others said.
'Come on, let's go!' Zach said
'Dude it's 6am.' Grant reminded
'I know, we should go before the CIA find her' he said.
We all got dressed and got into the two cars. The anticipation was building. We could be one step closer to Cammie!
Zach POV
We pulled up outside a house, it seemed like something out of a 1950's postcard. We looked around. The car that Cammie drove was there, so she might be here. I walked and knocked on the door. After a few moments, an elderly woman answered.
'How can I help you deary?' She smiled
'We're looking for this girl, could you help us?' I showed her a picture of me and Cammie together, there was no guarantee that Cammie gave her her real name. She studied the photo for a moment, then anger crossed her face.
'Get off my property before I call the cops' She said trying to shut the door, I held onto it.
'Wait! You've seen her, please she could be in trouble'
'Are you her friends?' She glared at all of us
'We are, and we want to help Cammie, do you know where she went?' Bex said, stepping up next to her
'Why should I tell you, after everything you did to her!' I looked at Bex, she looked at me. Bex had a plan. She had a lie.
'She's been in an accident a few months ago and lost her memory, she thinks we're all enemies but honestly we're trying to help her' Bex said stepping closer to the woman 'please' her voice broke. The woman thought for a moment.
'Tell me her name and I will.' I paused. I looked at Bex who was smiling like a cheshire cat.
'Cameron. Although she prefers to be called Cammie' Bex said triumphantly. The woman sighed.
'She took my son's old bike out at around 4:30 this morning.' She then shrugged 'We're both early risers. I'm sorry I can't help you anymore, just please make sure she sees her sisters.'
'Her sisters?' Grant said shocked
'Yes' She said hesitantly, looking at all of us again as if we weren't to be trusted
'Which sister? She has a sister in Miami, a sister in L.A, and a sister in Virginia.' Bex quickly said, still smiling, still lying.
'Virginia' the woman stated
'Thank you so much' we said, rushing back to the cars and speeding down the road. 'Look out for motorcycles, that should narrow it down' Nick said.
'Unless she exchanged it for a car' Macey added
'Let's not think about that now, she's an hour and a half ahead of us.' I said, stepping on the gas pedal a little more
'Zach, I know you want to find her, but if you carry on at this speed, we'll be pulled over by cops or crash. Slow down.' Bex said, I did what she asked.
'I won't lose her again' I said
'And we won't. We know where she's heading. I'll tell Joe and Rachel now' She said pulling out her phone and dialled
Bex POV
*ring ring, ring ring*
Soloman
Hey Joe
And news Baxter?
Yeah, Cammie's heading to Virginia. She's an hour and a half ahead of us, she should be there by now. We're on our way
Thanks, we'll be on alert. I hung up.
'They said the'll be on alert' I said
'What do you think Cammie's been hiding from us?' Zach said looking at me
'I don't know. She believed that something was wrong with the CIA and she ended up being right. What I want to know is how she knew to leave, and to leave that note.'
'Cammie's full of mystery' Macey added
'Is that a good or bad thing?' Nick said
'Both' the rest of us said.
Zach's phone buzzed, he looked at the message, put it down and stepped on the accelerator slightly. His jaw was clenched.
'Zach…'
Cammie POV
I parked the bike and climbed off of it. Roseville was just the same as before, if not prettier. It only look me an hour to get from Grace's to here. I could have gone back to the school, but the gazebo in town seemed a fitting place to be when I returned. I was drawn to it. I sat on the steps like I had done with Josh and Zach. Suddenly I felt a chill over me, I hugged my jacket closer to me, trying to keep me warm. I closed my eyes, enjoying the little rays of light hit my face.
'Cam?' I opened my eyes.
'Josh...um hi' I looked up at him
'Hey! I didn't think I'd see you around'
'Same, after graduation I moved to D.C.'
'Cool! So what do you do now?'
'I'm a college student, studying criminal forensics'
'Cool!'
'So what about you?'
'I'm working at the pharmacy. My dad said in a couple of years it could be mine.'
'That's amazing, congratulations' I smiled, he smiled. 'So...you still with-'
'We broke up' He looked away from he
'Sorry, I didn't mean to mention it'
'It's okay, you still with Zach?' He looked back at me
'Yeah' It was my turn to look away. We were silent for a few minutes, all that could be heard was the wind howling and Josh sending a text. 'Who you texting?' He seemed scared at my question
'Ummm...my mum' He said quickly putting his phone away
'Okay' I knew he was lying but I just left it at that.
'Do you want to grab something to eat? You know for old times sake'
'Actually I'm meeting a friend' I said, my eyes fixated on the figure approaching us.
'Okay Cam, I'll see you around' He smiled and then walked away, I will still focusing on the figure who sat next to me on the steps and smiled.
'Did your mother ever tell you that staring is rude?'
'Sorry, I just didn't expect to see you' I mumbled
