They had to hijack a car to get back, Jonas disabled the alarm and then hotwired it. He dropped of the others and the pile of bags and took it back to the parking space. They had taken many trips to get the bags back as Liz had been sitting down so they left her with the bags and her laptop, so they had never realised how many they had until the picked them up. Buckingham was looking at Liz's ankle and everyone was laughing around about Cammie's little friends. Joe was listening to a garbled version of the story, from everyone but Cammie and Zach who were talking near the bookcase again.
"Thanks for letting me do that." Cammie grinned, they were about a foot apart and Cammie could feel the heat radiating off him.
"No problem Gallagher Girl, what did they say?"
"Gallagher girl! Since when have you called me that? Betting I couldn't understand them in a couple of simple languages, then they started to offer me pints and telling me to go home with them." Cammie watched Zach's face become one of anger, "I told them they were a bunch of lowlifes, tried to walk off and you heard the rest."
"Dunno, seemed fitting as you just did such a spy like thing to link you to the spy like place you came from. It was brilliant how you got the crowd like that, making sure you had people who saw what happened and could justify it. Then making sure it was seen to be self-defence and a last resort. I have no idea what they used to teach at your school but it must have been good for you to be this good."
"It's nothing, you can ask Joe I have always been invisible and afraid of crowds."
"Didn't seem to be today." Zach put his hands on Cammie's back, pulling her closer. Everyone else was preoccupied so Cammie didn't mind, she never minded actually.
"I think a certain, brown haired, green eyed mysterious boy has done something to me." Cammie had never ever been so flirty in her life, she didn't quite know what she was saying, but she didn't care. Not when she was nose to nose with one of the cutest boys ever. Cammie put her hands under Zach' arms and then onto his back too, everyone was talking but Cammie heard nothing.
"I'm going to kiss you now Gallagher Girl." Zach whispered then he did.
The warmth spread though her like fire, her entire body felt warm, light and free. Cammie didn't realise she had closed her eyes till Zach pulled away and she opened them. Zach put his forehead against her's and they both began to laugh. Cammie's hearing faded back and she heard wolf whistles and cheering.
"IT'S NOT A WEDDING!" Cammie called turning to them, but her friends ignored her, they just bounced forward shoved Zach aside and hugged her, everyone laughed, even Zach. Then they all picked up four bags each and trailed upstairs, all laughing, talking and, in Grant's case, singing. The bags were ignored when, as she dug though the cupboards, Macey found a speaker and plugged her phone in. Cammie sat on her bed with Zach, Jonas and Liz sat opposite them on the bottom bunk, Bex and Grant sat on their relative bunks, but they did throw stuff at each other, and Preston and Macey sat on the floor. It reminded Cammie of the dorms corridor at Gallagher, music, laughing and conversations. She finally felt at home, more than she had ever done at Gallagher since Catherine, with Zach next to her and her friends surrounding her.
"Is this what being a teen is like?" Zach mumbled, Cammie could tell he was slightly embarrassed but she just thought it was cute.
"Yep, well there is normally three times this number of people but I prefer it like this. I thought you went to school with these guys?"
"I did, but my first mission was at 15 remember so at the age where people are starting to be like this I was slightly ruined. At 16 when everyone really went off big style I was getting pulled out for meetings and then that mission to Britain which lasted a while, when I came back I was quiet, dark and secretive I avoided parties and social contact. I ended up having never gone to a party. Then I got given a team and I became the current Zach. My class last saw us 1 and a bit months ago. Then after the last mission with the team we ended up in pubs and clubs a lot. But I avoided the middle of it all, I would just get totally of it in the corner."
"Well you got a huge team now, Duchess, Peacock, Bookworm and Chameleon have all joined too. Even if we aren't officially. And I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that."
"I don't need alcohol now, I can get drunk on love." Zach whispered.
"That's one of your cheesier lines."
"What can I say, it's the altitude. Not enough oxygen getting to my brain." Zach smirked at Cammie who rolled her eyes. Turning back to the party the song changed and a very familiar movie track came on.
"Pitch perfect?" Bex exclaimed amazed.
"Well everyone had their own guilty pleasure!" Macey smiled, "Her eyes her eyes make the stars look like they're not shining. Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying, she's so beautiful. And I tell her every day."
Cammie looked up and smiled before joining in, "Ah Ah I was thinking 'bout her, thinking 'bout me, thinking 'bout us, what we gonna be, open my eyes and it was only just a dream."
Macey sang underneath and everyone had gone quiet,
"When I see your face
"(So I travelled back, down that road
Will she come back, no one knows)
There's Not a thing that I would change
(I realize yeah, it was only Just A Dream)
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are
(it was only Just A Dream)
When I see your face
(So I travelled back, down that road)
(Will she come back, no one knows)
It's Not a thing that I would change
(I realize yeah, it was only Just A Dream)
Cause girl you're amazing, just the way you are
(it was only Just A Dream)
When I see your face" Cammie just grinned as Macey stood up and bowed.
"Done!" Cammie called, "Stop!" She pulled her hair out of its ponytail and re-secured it, Zach rolled his eyes and just as she refastened the hair up Zach pounced. Kicks, dives, rolls, punches and throws later saw Cammie s straddling Zach's stomach smiling, he was breathing deeply and smiling too. Pulling her annoying top off she grinned down at Zach who scowled.
"I swear you do that just to annoy me."
"Nope, Macey's top is annoying, has a label in it." The gym was silent again, everyone else was asleep but like normal Cammie and Zach were up early and training. She was getting much stronger and Zach was teaching her some new kicks while she taught him about logical moves to make and tricks to pull. Cammie also helped Zach refine his languages, accents, pronunciations and grammar, he was very good. It was Friday now and they were leaving for the new safe-house later on, Joe had assured them the gym there would be even better, but they didn't care. They loved this old house with all its secrets and lies, the balconies and the big old kitchen they made cookies in. Everyone was packed into suitcases Joe had brought and Buckingham had already moved. The prospect of Tina, teaching and no more falling asleep on the balcony with Zach made Cammie's stomach long to stay.
"Again?" Zach slid out from under Cammie and dragged her up with him, "Wait no, I have a better idea." Zach pulled Cammie's top over her head, pinning her arms to her sides, and pushed her towards the stairs and up them. Moving over to another part of the bookcase Zach pulled at an engraved bit of wood and a panel swung out revealing four guns. He pulled one out and pushed Cammie out of the back door. She pushed her arms out and put them on her hips in a disapproving manner, Zach laughed and handed her the gun. She took it warily.
"I could kill with this."
"But it might also save your life." Zach reached around her and put her arms in the right position, "Don't worry its blank at the moment, I have bullets in my pocket but that's after I'm sure you won't kill anyone." Placing his hands on her hips he pointed at a bit of tree and she nodded.
"How do I aim?" Cammie had become emotionless and Zach saw she was in learning mode.
"You see the three posts, get the middle one perfectly in-between the other ones and all the same level." She aimed and fired, the pistol was very quiet even though there were no neighbours. They carried on without bullets for a good hour, Zach perfecting her stance and aim.
"Ready for a bullet?" He pulled one out and she loaded it, aiming she took a deep breath and fired. Dead centre of the knot they were using as a target, she squealed and hugged Zach before loading another one. Zach told her to wait and he pulled the old bullet out, she aimed and got it in the old hole. Zach's jaw dropped slightly.
"I just know where to aim! I am finally good at something!" Cammie danced around waving the empty gun about.
"You sure you never done this before?" Zach mused, "Cause you have a talent Gallagher Girl."
"I do?"
"Yep, I have never seen anybody shoot like that on their first go."
"Lemme have another go." Cammie loaded the gun and hit the center again. 16 shots and 16 bulls eyes later Zach sat on the grass watching the sunset while Cammie explained to Joe how come she was dancing about with an empty gun. She showed him her talent and he actually applauded before hugging her, she ran back inside to tell the others while Joe sat down next to Zach.
"You alright?" Joe asked, his tone softer than normal, almost fatherly.
"Yeh."
"What you thinking about?"
"Leaving, I don't want to. We're all teenagers here, yeh we're training but that's just like school and we hang out and we have girlfriends and its normal."
"And it will be again some day. We just gotta sort a few problems out."
"I volunteer putting a bullet though Catherine's head." Zach snarled unpleasantly, but Joe just laughed.
"She mentions you in one of her 'new and improved' text books." Zach snapped around watching as Joe pulled out a posh looking school book, "It's seen as one of the best books for learning Sociology. Young children can be influenced by their parent's behaviours but there have been reports of children running away from their parents lifestyles. One story is of a boy called Zachary Goode who is the son of the well-known celebrity Catherine Goode, he ran away at a young age, unable to cope with the perfect way of life lead by his parents. He ran away and joined a rebel group who are masked inside the CIA, Zach has been searched for by his parents but to no avail, after a few years Zach's father was shot by the CIA group. It's rumoured that Zach himself did it. This is a tragic story and one that has been poured over by many professors and they are unable to figure why Zach ran away.
To make matters worse Zach hasn't been seen since and we all hope we are wrong in our suspicions and that Zach like many other children goes through fazes of rebellious nature which leads us onto our next topic…"
"The stupid lying little…"
"Twat?" Cammie advised, "Or Moron?"
"I was thinking more female dog." Zach grinned and pulled Cammie down next to him and Joe.
"Are all the school books this corrupt?"
"Yes sadly, she has also infiltrated the news and the head of news and most of the reporters and editors are now the circle. She is infiltrating everywhere that could have an effect on people. She has kept the Gallagher Girl breakout quiet though, and she thinks the boys all ran away during the fight. She knows we are better at hiding than she is at finding so she isn't going to chase us, just turn the whole world against us so we have to hide forever."
"She is a genius."
"She is an ex-Gallagher girl; she is trained to be a genius. Anyway you two, we need to get going. Jonas calculated it would take us about 2 ½ hours in the van. I have shoved a load of beanbags and sockets in the back, also the back doors are welded shut so you can lean against them. Bags will be going in the middle, in front of you guys."
"Thanks Joe." The two of them met up with the others and the all followed him outside, the van was a different colour now and had a new number plate. Climbing through they all took seats, Liz and Jonas on the left side seats, both with laptops and Macey and Preston on the right seats. Zach and Cammie pulled up beanbags at the back of the van and Bex and Grant pulled up beanbags nearer the front. Eight suitcases pilled in behind them and Joe flopped into the driver's seat and started up the engine. Everyone looked at each other slightly apprehensive and Macey broke the silence,
"Well, all I can say is if they annoy us Cam can shoot them." She grinned and everyone began to laugh again.
Another chapter gone and things are sliding downwards!

Guest, thank you! I wish I could be! I think most people on fanfic do…
Guest (2), I dunno. I saw a QI episode where they talked about a condition where some people see colours when they hear music. I just added that to emotions and thought what each colour might mean to me…
You know the drill, review if you want, read on if you need i have no idea why but that reminded me of song lyrics so i'm now singing a song i don't even know in my head. Thank you x
