*Chapter 15*

Voices followed Zach and Cammie down the corridor the next day, both of them thought it was hilarious, and they were planning how to cause the next big problem for the students. Grant and Bex were a good idea, set up some way for their relationship to come out and everyone not be allowed to tell anyone, yet everyone knew.

"Cammie, could you come here one second?" Eva beckoned her over and Cammie followed her around a corner to where Sam also stood, "Did you know everyone was behind that glass and now knows about you and Zach?" She sounded nervous, even slightly scared.

"Yes, I noticed the glass and Zach guessed Miss was going to put you all behind it as he didn't want to dance very much since Portugal." Eva relaxed totally then, "Also the light was because Liz flicked a switch that meant we could hear everything you said, good cover up Sam." Cammie nodded towards Sam who smiled.

"Anyway, that was amazing dancing. Where did you learn?"

"Zach, I knew the basics from lessons and videos and then Zach learnt it for a mission…"

"So he is 007?" Sam asked suddenly and Cammie shrugged then heard her voice being called, she looked behind her to see Bex and Liz waiting for her at the door. Sam motioned for her to go and she ran off, leaving them to laugh at everyone else's rumours about Zach and Cammie. She slid the final meter and walked in calmly with the other two, they still stood out in their normal clothes but they were gaining less and less attention as they were never really called out and they hadn't taken many lessons since the one where Zach and Cammie had scared them into oblivion the previous day. Due to the fact some people took separate lessons to other groups and there were a limited number of teachers students could have up to three hours of free time in the middle of the day for no reason. This suited the team fine; they had finished the books, relayed all their findings to Joe and had gone back to being normal students.

Breakfast was the time when they would work out from the teachers if it would be a good day or a bad day, from one glance everyone knew it would be the latter. Joe was moving from teacher to teacher passing them a small message, then he brought out his phone, started typing very fast and put it away. He moved over to Buckingham who nodded curtly and muttered something back.

"This means he is coming." Zach grumbled to the group, he finally sounded like a teenage boy and Cammie tried not to smile.

"Did I just hear Zach sound like a 17 year old?" Grant pretended to be shocked and everyone burst out laughing, getting a small amount of attention from the students nearby.

"I am 17 you know! The girls act like 17 year olds all the time and you aren't shocked at them." He sounded mildly indignant, "Well 16 and 17 year olds."

"Thank you, I take great pride in being the youngest." Macey fake bowed and they all laughed again.

"Hey, I'm 17 in a month and 6 days." Cammie pretended to sound like a little girl, "It is December 1st today." They all paused for a moment; they had been in hiding 3 weeks and out of school 4 weeks.

"That means the files were written in Mid-September as Liz was 16 when they were written." Preston deducted, "Joe was planning this for ages."

"CODE RED. CODE RED. CODE RED." Blared though tiny speakers, the students froze and the team shot up. Everyone watched Zach and Cammie fly out the room and into the hall, the team followed slightly slower. Joe and Buckingham stood up and told the students not to enter the entrance hall and to leave the team alone. Of course everyone went and stood at the threshold instead, watching the group of 8. The door was currently still, doors were all locking automatically and the main meeting room had metal sliders over it. Joe was ignoring the students and was standing at the edge of the doorway, Buckingham was telling students to sit down but nobody was listening.

"Hello?" A man's hand pushed the door open as he spoke, the student body held their breath.

"Townsend?" Cammie stepped forward, she glanced back at Zach who stood by Grant totally emotionless. "Agent Edward Townsend?"

"Yes." He pushed the door fully open and Cammie saw him at last, he was striking. Dark blue eyes, Zach's messy dark hair and permanent tan, his nose had been broken at least once but it looked like it could have once been the same one as Zach. He looked around the room, his eyes skated over the large group of students and along the line of people and landed on Zach. He paused for a second before stepping over the threshold and shutting the door.

"Good Morning, Agent Townsend." Bex also stepped forward.

"Ah, Rebecca." He sounded tired, even slightly scared, "Sorry Bex." He had a strong English accent and Cammie suspected Bex's would come back very soon.

"Follow us please, we need to talk to you." Bex lead the way and Grant fell into step next to her, they all followed. Cammie and Zach behind Townsend. They glanced back at the students who were all looking shocked and scared and Cammie could see Eva putting 2 and 2 together with Zach and Townsend, she reminded herself to tell her to be quiet.

"Are you Zach?" He asked quietly glancing back, "Because if so I need to speak to you and explain a lot."

"I am yes, and you are going to do a lot of explaining to me and Cameron." Zach's voice wasn't overtly cold but it made Cammie shiver slightly, Zach seemed to notice this and he reached out and held her hand in his. Zach knew she wanted answers as much as he did, his way of finding answers was to scare them into it, but that seemed to be freaking Cammie. "You okay?" He breathed to her, she would only just hear but she was a good listener and would know it was him speaking to her.

"Yeh, you were just so… cold. I have never heard you sound so evil." She muttered back as Bex showed Townsend down one of the corridors, the doors were slowly opening either side of them.

"Guys carry on ahead. Meet you in our meeting room." Zach called to the others who all agreed and continued walking, talking to Townsend about MI6, "Sorry Cam." He turned back to her and put his hands on her shoulders, she looked up at him.

"I understand why you hate him, but if he is going to explain then maybe you need to be more open to ideas. I mean maybe Catherine jinxed him or hoodwinked him somehow, maybe they were both drunk. We don't know Zach, not everyone is like you, able to be perfect all the time."

"I'm not Cam, I have shot people and watched their life fall out their eyes. That's not perfect, trust me, but still he should have stuck by his unborn kid. He might be totally changed, he might be the total opposite to Catherine but don't expect me to end up watching Disney films with him."

"You and Disney are opposites Zach, one is sweet and innocent and the other is…"

"This could be entertaining."

"Zach, nobody can explain you and I'm not even going to try." Cammie hit him lightly and they moved down the corridor, "Ready?"

"Sure." He pushed open the door and let Cammie though first offered the last chair to Zach; he declined and instead stood behind her, opposite Townsend.

"This isn't an interrogation by the way." Macey added before leaning back in her chair and picking up her glass, she brought up a newspaper and began to annotate it, Grant followed but Bex was watching Townsend carefully.

"Can I ask a question?" Townsend cocked his head to the side and Cammie was reminded forcefully of Zach and she fought back a smile.

"Sure." She answered. Liz and Jonas stood up and went over to the big board as Macey sent a paper up for them, Zach still didn't sit down. Preston was also reading his glass and he moved over to Macey to point out something, they started muttering, Liz and Jonas began to talk and slowly the noise level became normal.

"Why do you need me?" His voice was polite and casual but Cammie sensed he wanted to get an upper ground on who he was dealing with, he had obviously been in many interrogation situations.

"To solve some problems for us." Bex answered casually, nobody who didn't know Bex well would know she was very up tight at the moment, "And the emphasis on you made it sound like you thought we were just some teenagers."

"Well you are, aren't you? Well except Zach, but he is just hiding from the truth."

"Really?" Zach spoke for the first time, and now Cammie was also slightly angry with the man in front of her. "Please enlighten me to this then?"

"Only alone." Townsend wasn't looking at Zach, he was glancing from Cammie, to the others, to Bex, to the corners of the room and to the door. He was very relaxed in every other way and Cammie noticed a slight indent on his ring finger. He had recently been wearing a ring on that finger and he had taken it off to hide it, he didn't want them to know he was married or was married.

"No." Zach stepped back away from the light and leant against the wall, Townsend wasn't smiling like Cammie would have expected, he was still flicking around the room.

"Why are you so combative?" Bex asked, she wasn't fighting, she just sounded interested. "We are on the same side as you, unless you are on Catherine's side." Cammie noticed a tiny movement in Townsend's finger at this, and then he began to drum his fingers on the desk to cover it up. He was very good but Cammie was slightly better from years of training to do this and her totally relaxed state.

"I'm sorry Bex, I'm just worried. MI6 aren't happy with me being seen with a rouge CIA group and I had to sneak away to get here, I was hoping Joe needed me as he is recognised by MI6 as safe. But 8 teenagers is a different question and I love my job so I really don't want to lose it." Cammie had listened hard but couldn't detect any lies on the surface but he was still drumming his fingers which if Cammie hadn't seen the twitch would have been a sign of relaxation not cover.

"Okay." Cammie could see Bex working though that too, working over every word in her head.

"Well first we need to know Zach's middle name."

"He doesn't have one." Townsend sounded so natural, Cammie knew this was wrong and so did Zach but neither was going to say now. "Why?"

"Have you ever been part of the CIA or worked for them?"

"No! I have always been MI6, never worked for them either. I know Joe as an old school friend." Cammie knew for definite he was lying now, Joe had said himself that he had done a mission for them, "Why?" He added again.

"Just to try and find out how many lies Catherine is telling, as I'm sure you know." Cammie smiled a convincing smile. "Also I would like to know what you position in MI6 is?" Cammie saw Jonas smile weakly and pull out his phone, Townsend was busy calling off credentials and Bex was noting them down then Zach's phone rang. He went outside and Townsend watched him, the door closed.

"What was that about?" Townsend asked Bex, he was still very polite, though a note of fear edged his voice now. Zach walked back in, he looked at Cammie and then at the group at large before saying very clearly.

"Macey and Preston, you are needed for teaching." Cammie remembered the conversation they had last night and everyone pounced. Bex shot in front of the door, Grant next to her; Jonas slid across the desk and grabbed all the glass's to prevent any use of them as a weapon. Liz shut down all of the major documents and Zack moved in front of Bex and Grant.

"Now try telling us the truth." He spoke coldly, he was exactly the same height at Townsend and both of them stood in a similar way. Townsend looked at Zach directly, ignoring the rest of the group.

"I am son." Townsend smiled at the last word, Cammie grabbed Zach's punching hand and took it in her own, Townsend looked down at it, "You shouldn't trust him little girl. He had evil in his blood, look at his mother, Catherine."

"Number one, I'm not little. Number two, I would say both sides have evil in them, your side more so." Cammie snarled, Liz and Jonas were sitting behind a laptop typing and muttering furiously.

"Well I guess a father is meant to be protective over his son, so Zachy come home where your safe and away from these brainwashers. Don't trust Joe Solomon, he is dangerous in the head." Cammie let go of Zach's hand and they look at eachother, Preston and Grant realised what was going to happen soon and pushed the table away from them.

"You are no father of mine, you left me alone with Catherine for 7 years. I have my own family, I don't need you or Catherine. If you haven't noticed Daisy was a better mother than Catherine and she adopted me off the street! Anyone is a better father than you." Bex actually recoiled at the venom in Zach's voice and Macey's eye's widened. Townsend smiled, actually smiled, all his bright white teeth were on show.

"Can I at least have one hug?" He asked and lunged forward, drawing a knife, Cammie didn't hesitate both her and Zach responded. Townsend was heavier and stronger than them, but he was fighting two. The chairs were soon moved away and Grant held Bex back,

"Don't; remember these two could probably take down anyone and together. I don't even want to think." Bex rested back, still on edge but she watched her best friend fight like she had never seen before. Zach was able to soon get the weapon off Townsend and Cammie only had a small cut to her forehead, Zach was unhurt, he soon realised it had an inbuilt bomb in the handle.

"Cammie, fight for your life." He called to her, she whispered something back and gritted her teeth. He began to laugh, Cammie started to weave, kick, punch and roll out of his way. Zach ran over to Jonas and they worked on disabling the bomb, it wasn't counting down but they didn't know what it could do. Liz continued to type on the laptop. Cammie kicked and caught her head on the wall, she fell down and Bex rushed over to help her, Townsend pulled a gun and shot Grant in the foot, he howled and Townsend sprinted out. Cammie shot up along with Bex and Zach, they flew after him. He didn't know his way as well and he went the way he knew, they took a shortcut.

Macey was helping Grant with his foot and Preston went to help Jonas with the bomb.

The loud feet along the corridor made people come out looking around, the gun shot had made most classes disrupted as everyone kept their doors open in case of emergency. When the three teens flew down the corridor ignoring calls and shouts behind them, everyone panicked, it didn't help that Cammie's cut was bleeding so they saw blood as they flew past. They skidded into the entrance hall as Townsend reached the bottom of the steps, he fired a shot at Bex and she fell down, screaming. Students and teachers were flooding the corridor and Eva moved her way silently around the room and dragged Bex into the canteen.

"Clever little kids." He taunted, "Well done, you beat me here, you had codes and I must say, you fight well." He raised the gun and pointed it at Cammie,

"I was told you were both intelligent, and I knew you Zachary were good but I didn't know you little girlfriend was too. Such an adorable couple, sad really, that she has to go the same way as her parents." He aimed and both of them acted, Joe moved forward but Zach called,

"No!" And he moved back. Cammie kicked his gun out of his hand and it fired upwards, bouncing of the ceiling. Townsend looked shocked but then he started to fight them. The students watched in awe, the ones at the back were as silent as most of the hall. Eva was muttering something to Dr. Alice Quinn from Blackthorn who seemed to be a real doctor and was helping Bex. Zach and Cammie never looked at each other, just fought desperately. Neither knew where their energy had come from but Townsend was losing his, he stumbled backwards with one of Zach's punches to his forehead.

"Ready to fly Gallagher girl?" He asked, Cammie realised what he was going to do and smiled.

"When am I not?" She stepped back from Zach then jumped forward just as Townsend went for Zach's temple. Zach lifted Cammie up and she placed a neat kick on his head knocking him out cold momentarily. He guided her back down and they stood listening to the deafening silence around them until Townsend groaned. "Let's go get the truth." They walked over, the students and teachers were silent around them. Cammie crouched down next to him and Zach copied her on the other side, he tried to sit up and both of them put a hand on his shoulder, pushing him down again.

"How do you do that little girl?" He laughed his throat horse from a kick Cammie had placed on his neck earlier.

"I was trained by Zach." Cammie replied calmly, "Do you want to tell us now? We might let you survive." Cammie pulled her regulation gun from her pocket and people gasped all around, Zach however smiled.

"Why would I tell you? I will only tell my son." Townsend made his voice clear and Zach punched his stomach,

"How many times do I have to tell you? I am no son of you." People began to mutter around the circle and Joe called silence.

"Me, You and Catherine. We were happy, till you ran away." The group began to mutter again, this time audible.

"I do not give about you and Catherine, you may be my parents but I hate you." Zach's venom came back, people visibly recoiled and Cammie noticed how even some teachers looked shocked, "I don't care how much you are trying to disrupt the people here now, turn them against me. Fine, I will just leave by myself and carry on ruining your lives, because I would never turn to you for anything." He spat at Townsend, Cammie's smile was sickly sweet.

"Now tell us… please." She smiled, he smiled back shaking his head. "Okay." She pulled the trigger.
