Zach POV
We walked through the terminal, greeted by blasting heat and sun from the outside, as we walked, Bex was on the phone talking to Tina. She then hung up and walked towards a black SUV. She talked to the driver and then gestured for us to follow. We got in and drove to a hotel room. I opened the door to our hotel suite to find Tina standing by the window looking outside. She spun round when the door shut.
'Hello everyone!' She smiled
'Hey Tina' We responded
'Thanks for this' I add, she gave me a sympathetic smile
'Just trying to help my sisterhood.' She fixed her clothes 'So who am I sneaking in to see Catherine?' She clasped her hands together
'Me and Bex' I said, she nodded.
'Okay then. Let me lay out some rules; 1) No comms. 2) No guns or weapons or violence of any kind. 3)If you get caught, do not drag me into this, you will be on your own. 4)You can't make her talk. I know you want to and need to, but you can't force her.' She looked at me and Bex
'Way to take the fun out of it' Bex teased, Tina rolled her eyes.
'Bex, if you aren't going to take this seriously then-'
'Then what Tina? I dare you to finish that sentence' Bex took a step forward, Tina and Bex were squaring off. I put my arm on Bex's shoulder
'We are wasting time we don't have' I whisper. She relaxed and stepped back
'Let's go' I say. Tina nods, leading me and Bex out of the room and into her car. She then drove to an old factory. She pulled up and got out. We followed.
Bex POV
We followed Tina into the factory, it was dark, damp and cold...the perfect place to interrogate someone. She led us down a corridor, stopping in front of a door. Tina turned around to us. '5 minutes' She said, we nodded and walked in. Catherine was sitting at a table with her head in between her hands, when the door shut she looked up. She held a blank expression whilst looking at us in turn.
'Has Cameron done a runner?' She smirked
'What do you know?' Zach said stepping forward
'I told her to run. To not chase ghosts' She lent back in her chair
'Cammie sent us a message. Said she was sorry' I say, Catherine snaps herself up
'You need to find her' Fear crossed her face
'What do you know?' Zach repeated
'The Limoncello mission. Hasker. The disk. Cammie's in danger'
Hasker? As in CIA Director Hasker!' I ask
'Yes, he was a member of the team same as Matthew and Eric'
'Is this Eric?' I show her the CCTV photo from the pharmacy, she took one glance and nodded.
'You're little Gallagher girl is about to cause a storm' She muttered
'WHAT DO YOU KNOW?' Zach shouted slamming his fist onto the table, causing Catherine and Me to jump. 'Tell me' He spat.
'That disk holds many secrets. Valuable secrets. Not only the list of students past and present, but Matthew hid information inside.'
'We've seen it' I say. Catherine lets out a low chuckle.
'You've only skimmed the surface. There are secrets in there that could cause the White House to crumple and a world war to start.' She smiled. 'And Cammie is the only person who can access it' She added
'What does Eric want with her?' Zach asks
'To find his daughter. He needs Cammie to access the disk to find her student profile'
'What does Hasker want with the disk?' I ask, Catherine turned her attention to me.
'He wants to know the secrets under the surface.' She then smirked 'And he would do anything to get it' I looked at Zach, he looked at me.
'Hasker knows-' He says
'Cammie will come back to Gallagher' I finish. He nods. I turn my attention back to Catherine. 'Why tell her to run?'
'Because, Hasker will do anything. And I mean anything, to get his hands on that information'
'I still can't figure out why?' I ask, she smiles
'The disk has proof of all the schemes he's ran and all the illegal trade he's been involved in. The disk proves that CIA Chief Anthony Hasker is a common criminal and also…' She lent in for dramatic effect 'A descendent of the Circle of Cavan' She smiled at our puzzled looks before adding 'His full name is Anthony Julius Hasker Cavan IV. When I found out, he offered me a large amount of money for my silence, it wasn't enough for me, so he showed me what the Circle did, and I fell in love. I. Never. Looked. Back' She turned her attention to Zach. 'You can see why he gave you a hard time at the CIA, he knew you had much more potential with us'.
Zach was ready to leap at her, but I managed to drag him out of the room. Her hideous laughter echoed down the corridors as we went outside to see Tina waiting in the car.
'Well?' She says
'Tina, I think you need to have a little word with your boss' I say 'And perhaps the President'
