(Chapter 23 will be uploaded Saturday 9th April)

Zach POV

'Zach, what happened to her in Rome?' Abby asked me, leaning closer.

'I wish I knew. She ran from us a couple of times. She's keeping secrets'

'We're worried that she discovered something about Matthew and is keeping it hidden'

'What connection did Matthew have with Rome?' I asked

'He was based there for a while with...SHIT!' Abby said grabbing her computer and typing away, after a few minutes she slammed herself back onto the sofa muttering to herself

'Abby, what do you know?' Rachel asked. Abby sat up and looked at us with worried eyes

'Catherine. The team he was with in Rome included Catherine'

Cammie POV

Joe took me down to the sublevels, we sat in our old classroom, the classroom where I've had school mission and where I thought I was safe. I was still pissed at everyone. Joe could sense it.

'You promised' He said

'So did you' I retorted

'Stop acting like the world is against you Cameron, we are trying to help you'

'I don't want help' He crossed his arms and stared at me.

'You may not want help, but you need help' He took a step closer to me and smiled 'Matthew was just as stubborn'

'What are you trying to do Joe?' I crossed my arms

'Trying to understand you'

'Why don't you read Dr Steve's files, because they sure know more about me than I do!'

'Cam, what he did was wrong, what Catherine did was wrong, what you're doing now is wrong. Stop.' He moved closer to me, he stared at me intensely, he was breaking down my wall.

'They're a pavement artist' I said.

'Who is?' He asked confused, I showed him the text.

'That same person broke into my apartment in DC and left a phone number'

'Do you think they work for the CIA?' He asked,I shook my head

'They definitely have connections there. He told me to run'

'But he knew you would go to Roseville'

'I stayed somewhere overnight, he would've had a head start, he would have been in town for a few hours'

'We'll check CCTV'

'No.'

'Cam, we need to find him'

'If he's a pavement artist, he won't be found easily. Plus he's strategic, he wants the disk.'

'Which is here'

'Is it?' I asked

'Cam, we've had this discussion'

'I know but is it'

Joe sighed and took me out of the sublevels, we walked around the school till we made our way to the library.

'Why would it be here?'

'Because...this place was the only one that didn't burn in the fire, I've searched everywhere and couldn't find it' He then stood leaning against the door and smiled at me 'Off you go'

'Wait what?'

'Cam, I don't know where it is, maybe you'll have more luck. So off you go' He stood at the door as I walked through the library. After what seemed like forever searching the shelves with no success, I closed my eyes letting my head and feet lead the way, I moved my hands over the objects around me, I felt at peace. I walked until I felt in my gut that I needed to stop, when I opened my eyes I was facing Joe, his eyes were wide and his mouth was open, he was staring at my hand. I followed his gaze and realised I had the disk in my hand. 'How did you..Where did you find it?'

'Perhaps Gillian Gallagher let me find it' I smiled and ran out of the room. We were on our way to the sublevels when the others emerged

'CAM!' They said

'We've been worried sick' Macey said

'I need your help' I said

'What do you need?' Bex asked

'Not here. Subs' I said, the others nodded and made their way to the sublevels, I turned to Joe, 'Can you debrief them, I need to tell Mom, Zach and Abby'

'Do I share everything?' He asked. I thought for a moment.

'Everything. No more secrets' I smiled, he smiled

'Good to have you back Cammie'

'Good to be back Joseph' I didn't wait for his reply, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me towards my mom's office. I burst through the door, they all turned and stared at me 'I need you to come to the Subs with me' I said catching my breath

'Cam, what happened to you?' My mom asked and then stopped 'Where did you get that?'

'Long story, I'll explain everything just please come with me?' They all nodded and we left, I grabbed Zach's arm as the others ran ahead, when he turned around I planted a light kiss on his cheek. 'You were right, I have been dishonest, but from tonight, no more secrets' He smiled and kissed me on the lips

'No more secrets'

We were all in the sublevels. Everyone had formed a semi-circle around me , all eyes on me.

'So...I've had suspicions that Catherine was working for someone else, somebody who needed the disk and used Catherine as a go-between person. There's information in the disk, and we need to get it out' I held it up, everyone was in awe of it

'Cameron, how did you find it? I went to this school and I couldn't find it, then I became headmistress and I still couldn't find it' My mom said stepping towards me

'I've been thinking about that and the only reason I can come up with is that I remembered where it was' They all looked at me with confusion, I turned to Joe, 'How old was I when he was acting strange?'

'You were about 5 or 6'

'So I could walk, and run and hide? Was I around Gallagher?' I looked at my mom, she nodded.

'I think I know where you're going with this kiddo' She smiled

'I must have found it, thought it was a toy and showed dad, he must have realised what it was and hidden something in it, then I put it back'

'Where was it?' Bex asked

'I don't know, I had my eyes closed. Joe?' We all turned her attention towards him

'Don't ask me, Cam you literally disappeared in the library, I couldn't see you' He smiled proudly. Everyone turned their attention towards me again.

'Liz, I'll need you and Jonas to look at it and see if there's anything hidden' I offered it to Liz, she just stared at it. 'Liz, are you alright?' She snapped her eyes back to me.

'Sorry Cam, I just...I thought I'd never get the opportunity so see the disk, let alone analyse it' I handed it to her, she took it and handled it as if it was the most fragile thing in the world. She placed it on the desk and attached it to her laptop. She began typing away on the keys.

'Squirt?' I drew my attention away from Liz and towards Abby

'Yeah?'

'Why tell us now? You could have kept everything a secret...why tell us now?' I took a breath

'Somebody wants this disk, and they'll do anything to get it. If I'm honest with you, they can't use anything against me...they can't turn you against me'

I looked at everyone in turn, they were silent. They all knew that I was right, they just didn't want to admit it.

'Who's after you?' Bex voiced.

'Someone who knew Catherine and my dad' My mom, Abby and Zach all shared a look. 'Is there something you're not telling us?'

'Your dad went on a mission in Rome, and one of the team members was Catherine. If you think that somebody knew both Catherine and your dad and they were in Rome, it's possible this somebody was another member of the team.' Abby said

'Do you know the other members?' Joe asked

'The rest of the file was classified' Zach said

'Any luck Lizzie?' Grant asked

'No. This system wants entry from retsmac, do you have any idea who that is?' She looked at all of us. Mom, Joe, Abby and me were looking at each other with a mixture of surprise and fear

'He wouldn't…' Abby began

'He would…' Joe said

'He did' Mom said. All three of them looked at me. Then everyone was looking at me.

'Cam...who's retsmac?' Macey asked

'Retsmac is me'
