*Chapter 21*
According to Buckingham everything went normal then, the whole room descended downwards like a lift and they were plunged into darkness, the TV had disappeared into the wall and left Zach and Cammie staring at Grant who had his hands over his eyes in concentration. Everyone else was holding a shocked expression Cammie assumed they had since Rachel appeared.
"He's my brother." Grant finally said looking up in the darkness, "His son is my brother, and we adopted him when his final parent died, the granddad must be too because his dad was also called it, Benjamin Brianna Jn. and he had a stroke. The final descendant is called James Brianna and he is a year younger than me, almost exactly."
"Do you know where he is?" Abe spun round to face Grant who sent an evil look at him, he didn't back down much but Grace did pull him back. Buckingham however was taking a call and heard none of it.
"No I blumin' don't, I would have told you if I did. That is literally all I know. How do you two cope?"
"I end up telling him first, which makes telling the adults much easier. And to be honest, they only know part of what we think we might know, we will fill you guys all in at some point. No offence adults, but they are hypothesises." Cammie held her hands up towards the adults who scowled slightly, but Grant was smiling again. "Oh and Grant we have worked out why you thought I was special to begin with, your Aunt and Uncle broke me and mum out of the circle and you were at the break point we came to because my mum was burnt. You gave her the medical stuff she needed and asked me if I was okay, you would have been 12 I was 11." Grant made a small o with his mouth and hit himself on the head.
"We are here." Buckingham suddenly announced, giving Cammie a scowling look again and turned back to see an entire wall slide away to show a high tech looking entrance hall with familiar red carpets and a familiar chandelier. "It is all laid out identically to before; everything is just much bigger and underground. Also the windows are much more believable and show images from outside not a random photo. Your dorm is at the end of a very long corridor of students rooms, please don't get too involved with the other side again."
"Oh don't worry Miss, only got Jonas and Liz to worry about."
"No, we are fine thanks." Jonas smiled and took Liz's hand, she grinned too, Macey squealed loudly causing a few unknown agents who were standing outside the lift to turn around. Cammie raised her eyebrow and walked out into the entrance hall with her bag, Zach behind her. Grace and Abe peeled off to talk to some agents who the obviously recognised, Buckingham started talking to them as a whole and she ushered the students off to their rooms. Cammie noticed the hall was full of students all eating happily, must be around 8 o'clock as Mosckowitz had finished and was sitting in the middle chair, so Breakfast was about to finish.
"Quick move, I do not need more staring." Bex kicked her case across the edge of the mat and into the opposite wall. She rolled after it around the mat and past the meeting room door and to the bottom of the stairs to meet everyone who had walked across carrying their bags. "Oh a lift!" She kicked the button and rolled in with her case, everyone shoved their cases in with her and they all trekked up the small stair case and saw 8 bags flying down a corridor on their wheels with Bex flying after them laughing as they hit the last door and flew through it, they didn't stop and instead hit the bed with a resounding clunk.
"Who are they?" A young voice said from behind Cammie, two small boys stood staring at them. Everyone turned around and Bex wheeled down the corridor to join them, skidding to a halt next to Grant, the boys were all looking confused.
"I know that one." The boy pointed at Zach who rolled his eyes and turned away, "He is a Blackthorn Boy like us, wait I recognise all the boys!"
"Who are you?" Macey asked, a little bit too harshly in Cammie's opinion but she must have her reasons.
"Blackthorn boys, year 8. Who do you think you are standing alongside them like equals, apparently they are spies!" The one boy looked shocked, the other defiant.
"We are run away Gallagher Girls, now Agents for the CIA. Scoot." Bex waved her hand at them to go into the hall, but the boys stayed still.
"You are a spy in a wheel chair, pft!" The defiant boy rolled his eyes, Zach turned back around and the boys stopped laughing, the obviously had massive respect for him, or were scared.
"She is one of the greatest spies I know, go into the hall and leave us alone." He spoke clearly, like he was talking to a dumb person, and they nodded silently before running away. Everyone looked at Zach who sighed,
"Use your logic, the fact I'm dirty will have got out by now. Abe said he wondered how we were going to cope. The students all know me and Cammie are dirty blooded, the Gallagher Girls are all slightly betrayed by you Cam. Everyone is now scared of us." Zach sighed and walked off towards the room, his shoulders were hunched and everyone looked to Cammie who ignored them and walked after him. She stopped at the end of the corridor as he got to the door,
"Zach?" Cammie felt a sense of remembrance at saying his name in such a childish way, then she remembered why. He had said he was going to leave to her, she had asked why, "Why are you leaving? Your family is here and they care."
"Wha…" Zach stopped and turned around, his eyes softening "Because I need to find my real family. You need to stay, Cammie, you won't make it." Cammie noticed everyone else was watching the exchange from behind her.
"But why?"
"Because I know why you are so special to us, I can't tell you why but I need to get away, they are going to actually kill me if they find out I found out what I know. But Cammie I promise I will find you again, and I promise I won't forget that hug I owe you." Zach smiled as he noticed Cammie's plan, he rolled his eyes and let go of the door handle. "Oh no, I'm going to scare you with it at some point. Why did I owe you a hug?"
"What I want to know is how come you don't remember this stuff! I remember my childhood best friend, his name was Dave. He got shot by a terrorist group along with his family which made me join the CIA." Preston looked confused, "Wait, did you guys ever have jabs?"
"Of course, Doctor Davis used to give them to us, Cammie's aunt became a doctor soon before we needed the only set of jabs I remember." Zach's eyes turned wide, "Wait Cam, when were your last jabs?"
"I only remember one set, just like you, made me feel really off for a few days. Light headed. It was when I turned 11. Oh crap!"
"She drugged us, Abby drugged us. Why though?"
"Isn't it obvious." Zach walked back to them as Macey spoke from the back, "She was keep you both safe for long enough that you were prepared to cope with the knowledge that your parents were evil. Or acting evil, or whatever! If I was in the position you guys have been in with the memories you guys will know in time it would kill me from inside!"
"This is why we need Macey McHenry guys, to be our human!" Bex pointed to her in a showman way.
\_ (^0^)_/
"Guys? Anybody in there? You have now missed two lessons and it will end up causing you problems." Grace stood at the door banging hard, students were hiding behind her, it was now break and word had got out that the team, Zach and Cammie had arrived.
"Even more problems! And we are currently in Philosophy." A female voice called back, "Miss." She added at the end. The group were sitting on the floor in front of the mind map talking in depth about how Abby knew Zach was going to run when he did, or whether she had been giving them for a while and just topping Cammie's up to cover her for the last few years and she had started at 7 too.
"Well I'm sorry Miss Baxter, this won't cut it. You are going to be in deep trouble if you continue to skive lessons, you are not that special." There were footsteps behind the door and Cammie opened it, she was in her pyjamas and one of Zach's oversized t-shirts and the students were shocked to see a number of large bruises across her arms.
"I'm so sorry Miss," She smiled at the last word, "Would you like to see our Philosophical debate, we believe it might help your cause." Cammie could see the students watching her, half scared and the other half intrigued. She did not need them to know how much they knew, and lessons were the last thing they needed. Grace raised her eyebrow but Cammie stepped aside and she walked in and Cammie shut the door. Everyone sat in a circle, Macey was playing with a small crackling radio and Zach was holding a large pen.
"Have you been doing that for the last 2 hours?" Grace dropped her professional manner and took a seat next to Bex and Preston. "Wow, is this everything you know! You need to show this to the leaders."
"Well the question we are debating is why Abby drugged me and Cammie from age 7 upwards or why she drugged me when I was 7 and Cammie when she was 11. Because the reason we forgot most of this past we have is because she drugged us. I mean, I didn't know we grew up together a matter of hours after I ran away, I had a photo of Cam and didn't know who she was!" Zach pulled Cammie down next to him and she didn't argue.
"Oh… This is important information guys. Have you solved the drug yet?"
"We have a smaller map we have done for it," Liz pulled out a A3 piece of paper from a pile next to her and gave it to Grace, who read it intently.
"When are you going to show this to Fibbs?"
"After school today when the students have gone away." Bex shrugged, "They are all scared of Zach and Cammie and I hate the people assuming I'm a cripple and the sad stares from everyone. "
"Well I'm sorry you are going to at least next lesson, its Professor Buckingham teaching so you will all be okay. I would go early to save problems, aka get dressed and go now." Grace glared at the group of teenagers who sighed, rolled their eyes and stood up one by one. Grant picked Bex up bridal style and placed her in her chair, Grace had to admit he was a decent lad. When she glanced back at the door and saw Zach and Cammie's torso's she reconsidered leaving.
"Zach and Cammie can I have a word one second?" She turned around at the door, Zach pulled his t-shirt on and Cammie grabbed hers, covered her stomach and pulled it on as she walked over, keeping her stomach covered at all times. "Do I want to know why you both look black and blue?"
"What do you mean?" Zach looked confused, then Grace raised her eyebrow and they deflated, "Fine, I got kicked a lot by Townsend when we fought when he tried to escape. I got a bomb of him in the fight and Cammie ended up having to fight alone, which is how come she got cut as well."
"You were the ones to catch Townsend? I assumed you were near because Bex got shot, but I didn't think you were the real fighters. Where were the adults?" Grace hid her shock, knowing it would annoy them.
"Hiding, then we told them to go away when he finally beat him." Cammie answered smiling slightly. Grace shook her head in disbelief and left them alone, wondering how the CIA would cope if they went truly rouge. The team rouge would be dangerous, best at hiding, fighting, intelligence and social.

Bex bashed the door open into Buckingham's room with her foot, Buckingham didn't even jump, but she did look up at them. They were 5 minutes early like Grace had suggested, everyone else was in the purpose built student bit, which was on a staircase next to the team's room. It lead up to a library, computer room, games room, mini café and lounge for the students to go to. The corridors had been nearly empty except for adults so they had navigated to Buckingham's room without any problems.
"Zach and Cammie I would suggest you don't take part in this lesson. Everyone else please take seats right at the back, Grant could you help Rebecca please."
"Why not Miss?" Cammie stepped out the way for the others as they took seats; two seats were left in the corner.
"This lesson is all about the Circle of Cavan, that why." Buckingham showed no emotion as she looked at them.
"I'm staying, we have information the rest of the class needs to know. I don't care, nothing you could say will freak me." Zach shrugged and took a seat right in the back corner, Cammie nodded in agreement and sat next to him as the bell rang. The students filed in, all of them staring at the back line. Cammie noticed that the whole of their year was in the room, so sure enough Harvey wandered in almost last. Buckingham stood up and faced the class, they all went silent. Everyone but the back row had note pads out and were watching intently, Zach leant back in his chair and Cammie put her head on the desk.
"Hello Class, today's lesson will be continuing the lessons you have had previously about terrorist groups. Today we will be studying the Circle of Cavan." The whole class began to mutter and look at Zach and Cammie, both who had their eyes closed and were ignoring them fully. Bex began to snigger and Grant put his hand over her mouth. "SILENCE. Thank you. Anyway, the Circle of Cavan was made by a man who we don't know his name. He kept it silent for the entire time, calling himself the creator."
"His name was Benjamin Brianna." Cammie mumbled from the desk, loud enough that Buckingham stopped in shock. "Wait how long ago did COC begin?"
"Exactly 70 years three days ago, why?"
"His grandfather." Cammie mumbled, Zach opened his eyes and finally sat up, "Anyway, the person who made the Circle of Cavan was called Benjamin Brianna." Cammie put her head back on the desk as the entire class began to mutter evilly.
"Class, accept the fact they know more than us and get over it. Anyway, Benjamin Brianna started to form alliances with major well known groups the various Mafia's, drug gangs in south America, tribal groups in Africa and the Arabic state billionaires, he also targeted Chinese government, Korean Government and aboriginal sections of Oceania." The whole class was scribbling furiously, except the 8 at the back who sat half asleep waiting for the next incorrect piece of information. "He was unable to penetrate any of Britain, North America, France, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Belgium and Switzerland."
"No, his followers gained entry into Ireland though The Real IRA last year." Zach didn't look down from the ceiling but he put his hand in the air, "And don't worry they are alive and well in Ireland and are planning to come back big time."
"Okay. Cross Britain out and name everything but Southern Ireland. The circle of Cavan is a well based terrorist organisation which we are working with inside in formatives and ex-circle members," Cammie stuck her hand in the air and the back row snorted, "To work out their weak point. New heading, the Circle of Cavan information."
"Surely she now knows the weak point from Rachel's video?" Macey whispered, "Was she really not paying attention!"
"No, she got that phone call." Preston muttered, "Or she made that phone call."
"Then she is really really far behind us." Liz moaned, exasperated.
"The Circle of Cavan has no official leader but the recognised head is Catherine Goode."
"My best friend." Zach muttered to Cammie, who chuckled. Buckingham seemed to be ignoring them, along with the class and that suited them fine. This was probably the best lesson for them to be in, they could walk out and Buckingham would ignore them, they could help even though they resented nearly every face in the room for thinking they were evil.
"Is that your mother Zach?" One boy asked turning round.
"Unfortunately yes, but as everyone knows now I ran away when I was 7." Zach didn't open his eyes, "Where were you when Townsend was beating us up and telling the world me and Cammie are evil?" There was no answer as everyone turned back to Buckingham who continued to lecture.
"We will be learning about her later on along with the other leaders of our time and their immediate panel of jury. Catherine's panel is currently down to her and her husband Edward Townsend, it originally contained Matthew Morgan and for a short while Rachel Morgan too. She is the first leader to not be of descent from the leader as the to-be leader ran away with his son. She was voted in as she had a clear way forward and a male heir, who soon showed his true allegiance to our side."
"Woop woop, go me." Zach breathed, "I get to run the circle of Cavan." Jonas overheard this small conversation and his eyes went wide and he began to mutter to Liz, she started nodding and pulled out a note pad and wrote down loads of completely unreadable words.
"She is currently controlling the education and media systems in this country, we are un-sure what her full time plan is."
"Incorrect!" Bex put her hand in the air and everyone went quiet, "We have a fairly good hypothesis what it is."
"Would you like to teach the class Miss Baxter?" Buckingham pointed to the front and Bex waved her hand aside.
"Well I can from here, after looking through the majority of the education books and all the important newspapers in the country we have come to the conclusion she is trying to turn the entire of the country against our group. She has become a major celebrity since her book, Life without Him, came out then she started to do newspaper columns about how to cope with what life throws at you. She has become a major positive icon to many people, so nobody suspects her, she has people in government and is working with the powers in other countries so we can't hide their either."
"Thank you Miss Baxter. This plan…" Cammie gave up at this point and began to doodle on her note pad. She drew her tiara, Zach noticed how whenever her mind was at ease it went to the tiara on her head. He could remember the day he had met her like it was yesterday, and he let himself fall into it again.
